Bodhisattva Mahākāśyapa was known as Laozi; the Youth Bodhisattva Prabhāpāla was known as Zhongni; and the Youth Bodhisattva Mānavaka was known as Yan Hui. (The Sūtra of the Inquiries of Śūnyatā-śānta and the Sūtra of Heaven and Earth both say: "My Kāśyapa is over there as Laozi, titled the Unsurpassed Way; Prabhāpāla is over there titled Zhongni, acting as the Master to gradually teach and transform; Mānavaka is over there titled Yan Hui." The Sūtra of Śoṇa says: "A thousand years after my entering extinction, the teaching will flow to the Eastern Land; among the kings and common people, those who uphold the precepts and cultivate good will be many." This comes from the ming box in the Tripiṭaka.)
