He also said: someone has a Buddha tooth, which grows in the palm of his hand. Leaders can still give up and dare not give up. I was given a declaration. Buddhist orthodoxy says,' Lawyer Tang Xuan, the gods secretly gave Buddha's tooth to Sakyamuni and supported him with him.' Yuan Lei, a Song Dynasty poet, said:' ZhongYu in Xining visited Xianping, a prophet of Liu Dingzi and a Buddhist temple.
