2.24

Huan Chu received the letter and treatise from Master Yuan of Mount Lu. On the third day of the twelfth month of the second year of Taiheng, he issued an edict halting the matter of śramaṇas paying reverence. The edict stated: 'The Chancellery: The Buddha's Dharma is vast and grandiose, which we cannot fully comprehend. Inferring their earnest sincerity, we would rather grant them their reverence. Now the matter rests with ourself; if it is indeed not understood, we should rather follow their omission. Let no one cause them to perform homage anymore. Make this known to all.'
