606 Ha-li-ma or Ka-li-ma 14th and 15th cent. A.D. A Tibetan priest, whose fame as a magician and soothsayer so powerfolly impressed the Emperor Yang Lo that in 1403 he dispatched one of his ennnchs, named ^ §| Hon Hsien, to proceed at the head of an embassy and bring the holy man to his Court. In 1408 Hon Hsien returned, accompanied by Ha-li-ma who was thereupon ordered to institute masses on behalf of the Emperor's parents. It was soon reported to his Majesty that supernatural manifestations had followed upon these masses, consisting in the appearance of auspicious clouds, the falling of heavenly dew, apparitions of azure- winged birds, white elephants etc. In consequence of this, Ha-li-ma was invested with the title of ^ Sf j^ i Prince of the Great Precious Law, together with a number of other high-sounding epithets; and he was likewise proclaimed as the head of the Buddhist &ith throughout the empire. His three attendant disciples were invested with the titles of j^ I^ ;^ H iSrB Orand State Preceptors of the Order of Baptism.

The freedom of his remonstrances, especially in regard to superstitious practices, led to his disgrace in 1566. He was thrown into prison, where he remained under sentence of death until the accession of the Emperor Mu Tsung, when he was released and re-instated in office. In 1569 he became Governor of Nanking and ten other Prefectures, but went to extremes in
supporting the poor against the rich, and was compelled to resign.
