During the Wude reign-period of the Tang, in Ciwuchuan to the southwest of Fangzhou, there were Hao Bian and Hao Ji, who had always possessed faith and reverence. Seeing a herd of deer constantly on the mountain, which returned whenever chased away, they found it extraordinary and together dug at the place where the deer stayed. They obtained a stone image about fourteen feet high and moved it out into the valley; it is currently preserved in the village. After the image emerged, the herd of deer consequently dispersed. The elders handed down a tradition saying that forty statues were hidden in the time of Kāśyapa Buddha; although two have now appeared, the rest remain concealed in the mountains. Its shape is like gold, similar to the iron-ore image east of Yuhua, and cannot be sculpted or chiseled. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2106.2.43) - [Next: 2.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2106.2.45) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2106.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2106~en-mt.2.44) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.26) — 道世, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2106.2.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2106.2.44) · Pramāṇa
