In strict and austere discipline, he constantly took the recitation of the Lotus Sūtra as his practice, having no other aims. Gradually reaching old age and infirmity, he died in his temple. At the time of his initial death, his disciples hastened to inter him beneath an embankment. Later, when they moved his remains for reburial, his skeleton was entirely withered, yet his tongue alone remained undecayed. People all said that it was because he recited the Lotus Sūtra that his tongue did not decay. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068.4.35) - [Next: 4.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068.4.37) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068~en-mt.4.36) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068.4.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068.4.36) · Pramāṇa
