La purete du dogme s'altere, les monasteres qui etaient autrefois le sejour des vertus devinrent des foyers de vice et de corruption. La deprava tion et la licence des pretres de Bouddha exciterent contre eux de vio lents murmures, et l'indignation etant arrivee a son comble, le peuple se souleva et en fit un massacre general, tant dans la capitale que dans le reste du pays.
