According to popular accounts of [[Chinese Buddhism]], [[Emperor Ming of Han]] dreamt of a golden deity interpreted as the [[Buddha]] and sent a delegation to India. They returned circa 67 CE with the monks Kasyapa Matanga and [[Dharmaratna]], and white horses carrying [[Buddhist texts]] and images. The emperor established [[White Horse Temple]] in the Han capital [[Luoyang]], where the two supposedly first translated the ''[[Sutra of Forty-two Chapters]]'' into Chinese.<ref>[http://www.buddhism-dict.net/cgi-bin/xpr-ddb.pl?8f.xml+id('b8fe6-8449-6469-9a30') {{lang|zh|迦葉摩騰}}]{{Dead link|date=February 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, ''[[Digital Dictionary of Buddhism]]'' (login: guest, no password).</ref><br />
