海岸山 [hai an shan]—Haian Mountain — [Place Name] Haian Mountain is today's Mount Potalaka (補陀洛山 [bu tuo luo shan]), the abode of Guanyin (觀音 [guan yin]). The brothers Zaoli Suli (早離速離 [zao li su li]) were abandoned here by their stepmother and starved to death. This is mentioned in the Jingtu Benyuan Jing (淨土本緣經 [jing tu ben yuan jing]). However, it should be known that this sutra is a forgery (偽作 [wei zuo]).

海岸山—【地名】海岸山為今之補陀洛山,觀音之住處。早離速離之兄弟為繼母遺棄於此而餓死。淨土本緣經說之。但宜知此經為偽作。
