[Dharma]ratna and [Kāśyapa] Mātaṅga propagated the Way under Emperor Ming. (The Record of the Three Treasures states: Emperor Ming of the Han, Kāśyapa Mātaṅga, and Dharmaratna. In the fourteenth year of Yongping, Daoist priests of the Five Peaks such as Chu Shanxin submitted a memorial to eradicate Buddhism. The emperor ordered both teachings to place their scriptures on two altars at White Horse Monastery and set fire to them simultaneously. The Daoist texts were all incinerated, while the Buddhist scriptures alone remained intact. At that time, the ruler and his ministers were astounded and revered it all the more.)
