He venerated the Way of the Five Pecks of Rice and did not believe in the Buddha's Dharma. He dreamed of a man several zhang above the ground who said, "Your doubts are just about to be resolved." Upon waking, he suddenly came to realization. Morning and evening, he worshipped the Buddha diligently for half a year. Suddenly, he saw a purple light beneath his forehead; feeling the place of the light, he obtained two śarīra. Cleaving and striking them did not damage them, and when placed in water, light came forth. Furthermore, during mealtime, something was concealed against a tooth in his mouth; spitting it out, it had light. His wife and child also obtained one, making five in all. Later he lost them again, but shortly thereafter obtained them once more. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 40.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.40.32) - [Next: 40.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.40.34) - [Up: 40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.40) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.40.33) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.40.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.40.33) · Pramāṇa
