Seventeenth: The Jingming Temple stūpa east of the inner city of Bingzhou was originally named King Aśoka; it was a dwelling place for monks. From the beginning of the Tang onward, the monks dispersed and the temple was empty; nuns requested to dwell there. When I went to inquire about the stūpa, there were no traces left at all; there was only an empty name, and its origin was lost.
