### [1.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2126.1.38)

夫狂蒙寄於伽藍頓生善念。孟軻隣其學校尋染儒風。佛法既行。民人皆化。于時豈無抽簪解佩脫履投形者乎。乃漢明帝聽陽城候劉峻等出家。僧之始也。洛陽婦女阿潘等出家。此尼之始也。

> Now, the wildly ignorant, lodged in a saṃghārāma, suddenly give rise to wholesome thoughts; Mencius, living next to a school, immediately became imbued with the Confucian spirit. Once the Buddhadharma spread, the people were all transformed. At that time, how could there not be those who pulled out their hairpins, untied their pendants, cast off their sandals, and gave up their bodies \[to the holy life\]? Emperor Ming of the Han permitted the Marquis of Yangcheng, Liu Jun, and others to leave household life, which was the beginning of monks. When the women of Luoyang, Apan and others, left household life, this was the beginning of nuns.
