To the north-east of the royal city there is a mountain, on the declivity of which is placed a stone figure of Buddha, erect, in height 140 or 150 feet. Its golden hues sparkle on every side, and its precious ornaments dazzle the eyes by their brightness. To the east of this spot there is a convent, which was built by a former king of the country. To the east of the convent there is a standing figure of Sakya Buddha, made of metallic stone (teou-shih), in height 100 feet. It has been cast in different parts and joined together, and thus placed in a completed form as it stands. To the east of the city 12 or 13 li there is a convent, in which there is a figure of Buddha lying in a sleeping position, as when he attained Nirvana. The figure is in length about 1000 feet or so. The king of this (country), every time he assembles the great congregation of the Wu-che (Môksha), having sacrificed all his possessions, from his wife and children down to his country's treasures, gives in addition his own body; then his ministers and the lower order of officers prevail on the priests to barter back these possessions; and in these matters most of their time is taken up. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 1.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.99) - [Next: 1.101](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.101) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.1.34.2) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.1.100) · Pramāṇa
