In the kingdom of Magadha, the city of Pāṭaliputra, at King Aśoka's stūpa and the Heavenly King Monastery, the upāsaka Kāla had previously seen the Jin monk Shi Faxian traveling far to this land in search of the Dharma; deeply moved by the man, he immediately copied this Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, the Tathāgata's secret treasury, for him, wishing that this sūtra would spread to the land of Jin and that all sentient beings would equally realize the Tathāgata's Dharma-body. On the first day of the tenth month in the thirteenth year of Yixi, at Daochang Temple established by Sikong Xie Shi, this Vaipulya Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra was translated. On the second day of the first month in the fourteenth year, the collation was completed. The meditation master Buddhabhadra held the Hu text in hand, and Baoyun translated it. At that time, two hundred and fifty people were seated.
