Guanshiyin pusa shouji jing (Sūtra on the Prediction [of Buddhahood] for the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara), in one fascicle (also titled Guanshiyin shoujue jing; third translation, the same text as those produced by Dharmarakṣa and Daozhen of the Western Jin; seen in the catalogues of Wang Zong, Sengyou, Li Kuo, Fashang, and others, as well as the Gaoseng zhuan).
Total: one work, one fascicle, the text of which is currently extant.
Śramaṇa Shi Fayong, whose secular name was Tanmoxie [Dharmodgata], was originally of the Li clan and a native of Huanglong State in Youzhou. Having become a śrāmaṇera at a tender age, he immediately cultivated ascetic practices. He kept the precepts and recited sūtras, so that his master held him in unusual esteem. He had once heard that Faxian, Baoyun, and other monks had traveled in person to the Buddha lands; sighing deeply, he made a vow to disregard his own life. Consequently, in the first year of the Yongchu era of the Song dynasty [420 CE], he assembled fellow minded śramaṇas—the group of Sengdanlang and others, twenty-five persons in all. Bearing together banners, canopies, and offering implements, they set forth from the northern lands and traveled afar to the western regions. First reaching the Henan Kingdom, they proceeded out from Haixi Commandery, entered the Flowing Sands, and arrived at Gaochang Commandery. They passed through the various kingdoms of Kucha, Kashgar, and so forth. Forward they ascended the Onion Ranges and the Snow Mountains. The plank-paths were perilous and harsh, impassable to donkeys and horses. Layered ice towered lofty and steep, entirely devoid of grass and trees. The mountains had much pestilential vapour, and below was a great river flowing swifter than an arrow. Along the flanks of both the eastern and western mountains, ropes were tied to make a bridge. Far apart from one another, ten persons crossed at a time. Upon reaching the other bank, they would raise smoke as a signal; only when those behind saw the smoke and knew that the former had already crossed could they proceed. If no smoke was seen for a long time, it was known that a violent gale had blown the ropes and the people had fallen into the river. Having journeyed through the Onion Ranges for three days, they finally crossed, and then climbed the Snow Mountains again. The sheer cliffs stood vertically like walls, leaving no place to set foot. The rock faces all had old peg holes facing one another everywhere. Each person held four pegs: first pulling out the lower peg, they clutched the upper peg with their hands, and successively waited for one another. Only after three days did they pass through and reach flat ground. Waiting for and checking their companions, they had lost twelve persons. Advancing to the kingdom of Kashmīr, they paid homage to the Buddha's alms-bowl and stayed for over a year. After studying Indic script, [Fayong] readily understood the Indic language. He sought and obtained an Indic text of the Guanshiyin shouji jing in one work. The remaining thirteen śramaṇas traveling with Dharmodgata walked west to the Indus River (Sindhu Nadī; here translated as 'Lion's Mouth'). Following the river westward, they entered the Yuezhi Kingdom, where they paid homage to the Buddha's uṣṇīṣa-bone and saw the self-boiling wooden boat. Later, they reached the Shiliu Monastery south of Mount Daṇḍa. More than three hundred resident monks resided there, practicing a mixture of the three vehicles. Dharmodgata then halted at this monastery to receive the full ordination. The Indian śramaṇa Buddhatara (here translated as 'Awakened Saviour')—of whom the monks of that region said that he had already attained the fruits of the Way—was invited by Dharmodgata to be his upādhyāya; the Han śramaṇa Zhiding served as ācārya. He spent the three months of the summer retreat at the monastery. Then he journeyed north again to Central India. In desolate and remote places, he regularly carried rock honey for provisions. Eight of his companions died on the road. The five of them traveling together repeatedly experienced perils and thorns. Dharmodgata constantly concentrated his mind on mindful recitation of the Avalokiteśvara Sūtra he carried. Advancing into the kingdom of Śrāvastī, they encountered a herd of wild mountain elephants in the wilderness. Dharmodgata called upon the name and took refuge; instantly, a lion emerged from the forest, and the elephants fled in terror. Later, when crossing the Ganges, they again met a herd of wild buffaloes roaring as they charged, about to harm people. Dharmodgata took refuge as before, and immediately a great vulture flew down; the wild buffaloes scattered in panic, and thus they were able to escape harm. Such was the efficacy of his sincere heart, overcoming perils wherever encountered. Later, from South India, he boarded a ship, sailed the sea, and reached Guangzhou. The deeds and events he underwent are recorded separately in his biography. In the final years of the Yuanjia era, he reached the capital of Yang[zhou]. With his own hands, he personally proclaimed and translated the Guanshiyin shouji jing in one work, which now circulates in the world. Afterwards, it is not known where he ended his days.
