It is said that Emperor Ming of Han, Liu Zhuang, resolved to spread Buddhist Law to The Eastern Land to see, after all, the way of an emperor lies in checks and balances. With Daoism dominant and immortals roaming freely in bliss, even if disasters struck the mortal world, they could hardly be bothered to intervene. Now, because of the invasion by the Buddhist sect, the Daoist immortals could no longer sit idly by. Seeing the benefits in this, Liu Zhuang naturally decided to "invite Buddhism into his home". However, such an act was destined to bear infamy in later generations.
