Originally in the military, he made a living by forging iron. Every time he wielded tongs and hammer, he practiced buddhamanasikāra without stopping his mouth. One day, without illness, he asked a neighbor to write down a hymn for him, saying: / 'Clang, clang, ding, dong! / Forged long, it becomes steel. / Great peace draws near; / I go to the Western Direction.' / He immediately passed away. His hymn was widely circulated in Hunan, and many people practiced buddhamanasikāra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.140) - [Next: 2.142](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.142) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072~en-mt.2.141) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.141](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.141) · Pramāṇa
