In Bing prefecture, a pagoda was erected at the old Wuliangshou Temple. When the relics were first in the bodhimanda, the great assembly prostrated, and those suffering from grave illnesses were cured. On the morning the pagoda was erected, clouds and mist darkened the day; after the hour of si (9–11 a.m.), the sun shone brightly, flanked by five-colored clouds. As the relics were about to enter the casket, they emitted light of one foot or five inches. Innumerable heavenly spirits each held incense, flowers, banners, streamers, and jeweled canopies, completely covering the prefectural city.
