Encountering Dhyāna Master Daochuo lecturing on the Guan Wuliangshou jing, he only then changed his mind. For five years he practiced buddhamanasikāra exclusively. In a single day and night he would make one thousand prostrations and practice buddhamanasikāra seventy thousand times. Fearing the end of his lifespan, he redoubled his vigor. In a dream he saw Śākyamuni Buddha and Mañjuśrī praising the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka Sūtra. He also dreamt of three paths leading west: the first path had only laypeople; on the second path, monastics and laity were mixed together; on the third path, there were only monks. A voice said, “These are all people attaining rebirth.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070.1.26) - [Next: 1.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070.1.28) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070~en-mt.1.27) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070.1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2070.1.27) · Pramāṇa
