On the tenth day of the eighth month in the seventh year of Taikang [286 CE], the Yuezhi bodhisattva-śramaṇa Dharmarakṣa of Dunhuang, holding the Hu manuscript in his hands and reciting it orally, brought forth the Zheng fahua jing in twenty-seven chapters. He transmitted it to the upāsakas Nie Chengyuan, Zhang Shiming, and Zhang Zhongzheng, who jointly served as scribal recorders. Zhu Decheng, Zhu Wensheng, Yan Weibo, Xu Wencheng, Zhao Shuchu, Zhang Wenlong, Chen Changxuan, and others together encouraged, assisted, and rejoiced. It was completed on the second day of the ninth month. The Indian śramaṇa Zhu Li and the layman Bo Yuanxin of Kucha collated it together. It was reviewed again on the sixth day of the second month in the first year [of Taixi, 290 CE]. Furthermore, on the fifteenth day of the fourth month in the first year of Yuankang [291 CE], Sun Bohu of Chang'an copied the silk manuscript with commentary.
