Based on these origins of his travels, the riding of the donkey has its grounds." He answered: "It is not so. Later people built a terrace there and planted trees for offerings; how could a donkey be set up beside a Buddha hall? Moreover, the name 'Zhonglü' (Middle Donkey) originally was the old territory of the Lü commandery or realm. Later people were unversed \[in history\] and thus made wild comparisons about it, and so forth." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2107.1.38) - [Next: 1.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2107.1.40) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2107.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2107~en-mt.1.39) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.39.35) — 道世, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2107.1.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2107.1.39) · Pramāṇa
