集神州三寶感通錄 1.20

1.20

Six: The ancient foundation east of Guazhou city was a King Aśoka temple of the Northern Zhou dynasty. After the Dharma was proscribed, although the Sui dynasty revived the Dharma, it did not re-establish the temple. It is now a temple estate; the stūpa is sheltered by a hall, and corridors on the east and west are enclosed on all four sides by walls. At times it displays luminous signs, and it is deeply revered by scholars and commoners. Whenever monastics and laity gather for overnight fasts to cultivate blessings, their prayers—from officials and commoners, high and low—meet with sympathetic responses, and so on.
