He was a native of India. Secretly practicing the Bodhisattva conduct internally, externally he manifested the body of a Sound Hearer. He said of himself, "I consider those without learning to be just like spittle. I am determined to seek the fruition of Buddhahood, and not take the small path."

At this time, Emperor Kanishka of the Imperial Dynasty of Kushana accepted the suggestion of the Venerable Parshva to recompile the Tripitaka. Fearing that the dragons and snakes would mingle together, he announced, "Only those who have certified to the Sagely fruition may remain."

The number remaining was so great that he then announced, "Only those who have thoroughly learned the Tripitika and penetrated the Five Clarities may remain." There were still four hundred and ninety-nine Arhats. In the country of Ksapira, they established a monastery. Just as they were about to begin compiling, Bodhisattva Shr You suddenly arrived and wanted to participate in the compilation. All the Arhats refused to allow it.

A voice in empty space called out, "The Venerable One has certified to the fruition of Buddhahood. He will inherit Maitreya's position and become the host Buddha of the Saha world, and the Most Honored One in the Triple Realm. " Thereupon they all elected him to be their supreme leader. In the compilation of the Tripitaka, each pitaka (basket) consisted of a hundred thousand verses, which were given the final polish by the Great Knight Asvaghosha. Afterwards it became the Maha-Vibhasha Shastra, and was recorded in Sanskrit on copper plates. Sanskrit was the main language used in the sutras of the Northern Transmission.

A verse in praise says:
Those compiling the Sutra Treasury were required to have entered the sagely flow. Four hundred and ninety-nine Arhats put their heads together
As the translation of the Sutras began shr You suddenly arrived.
The dragons and gods made an announcement, then he gave the Lion's Roar.

Then a verse says:
As a friend of worldly people, a Bodhisattva
Transmitted the Buddha's Mind Seal and roamed to the ends of the heavens.
In the compilation of the Sutra Treasury, he acted as Dharma host.
They composed the wonderful Vibhasha.
Universally crossing living beings over to the other shore, he receives and guides sentient ones onto lotus flowers.
With extensive merit, he is a pillar in the Shakyan door.
He is able to save himself and enlighten others as well.

A native of Yu Hang in the time of Eastern Jin, his lay surname was Wang. He left home at age seven, and shaved his head and donned the sash at age sixteen. At first he followed the Venerable Ywan of Lu Mountain. Then he drew near Kumarajiva in Gwan Jung, and studied the Dharma Flower. Afterwards, he built a hut at Chin Wang Mountain, and concentrated on the practice of reciting the Wonderful Dharma Lotus Flower Sutra with intense vigor.

One day twelve years later, a colorfully dressed woman came by. She carried a bamboo basket containing a small white piglet and four stalks of garlic. Going before the Master, she said, "I came into the mountains to gather ferns, and lost my way at dusk. Please give me a night's lodging, and I will leave tomorrow morning." The Master refused, and the woman wept sorrowfully. Pitying her, the Master allowed her to rest on a bed of straw.

In the middle of the night, the woman called out that her stomach was aching, and requested the Master to treat her. The Master wrapped the head of a cane with cloth, and used it to massage her from a distance.

The next morning, her colorful dress was transformed into seven-colored auspicious clouds. The small white piglet turned into a white elephant with six tusks. The four stalks of garlic became four-colored lotus flowers. Leaping up into space, the woman manifested the Dharma appearance of Universal Worthy Bodhisattva, and said to the Master, "I am Universal Worthy Bodhisattva, and I came especially to test you. Your mind is pure, and you shall become part of my assembly." Gradually she ascended and disappeared.

A verse in praise says:
The Wonderful Dharma Lotus Flower - the cause is planted, and the fruit is produced.
Singlemindedly upholding and reciting it, You, I, and he are all forgotten.
A white elephant of six tusks, rare blooms of four colors.
Universal Worthy manifests; quickly you return home.

Another verse says:
Listening to Sutras and hearing the Dharma, one plants wholesome roots.
Liberated from another species, one regains a human body.
Drawing near the Venerable Ywan to study the sagely teaching,
He then followed the Youth of Long Life to enter the Sangha order.
In the Mountain of Chin Wang, he recited the wonderful scriptures,
And Universal Worthy displayed the secret meaning at his abode.
Vigorously cultivating Brahma conduct and upholding pure precepts,
He can wade through water without drowning and fire cannot burn him.
