White Horse Temple
Second, Fan Ye's "Book of Later Han" quotes a "current" (5th-century) tradition that Emperor Ming prophetically dreamed about a "golden man" Buddha. While "The Kingdom of Tianzhu" section (above) recorded his famous dream, the "Annals of Emperor Ming" history did not. Apocryphal texts give divergent accounts about the imperial envoys sent to India, their return with two Buddhist monks, Sanskrit sutras (including "Sutra of Forty-two Chapters") carried by white horses, and establishing the White Horse Temple.
