From the time the Jin lost its control over the Central Plains and the realm was divided into sixteen states, none of these illegitimate regimes fell short in their faith in the Dharma. Only Helian Bobo, who occupied Xia Prefecture, was insatiably cruel and tyrannical, taking killing as pleasure. He carved images on the backs of his arrows and ordered monks to pay homage to them. Later he was struck dead by heaven's thunder. When he was buried, the thunder struck him out of the ground again. His son Helian Chang succeeded to the throne, captured Chang'an, and destroyed the Buddhist Dharma, executing any monks he encountered. The śramaṇa Tanshi was unharmed when struck by blades, and Helian Chang's heart changed as a result. Soon afterwards, he was destroyed by the Northern Dynasty's Later Wei.
