先是，廣州法性寺有菩提樹一株，高一百四十尺，大十圍，傳云蕭梁時西域僧真諦之所手植，蓋四百餘年矣，皇朝乾德五年夏，為大風所拔。 Earlier at Guangzhou's Faxi Temple stood a bodhi tree one hundred forty chi tall and ten arm-spans around, said to have been planted by the Western monk Paramartha in the Liang dynasty over four hundred years before. In the summer of Our Dynasty's fifth year of Qiande a great wind uprooted it.
