Jue'an reports that when Emperor Liangwu 梁武帝 (464–549) was the governor of Liang Province 涼州刺史, his wife Qie 郄氏, who was very jealous, turned into a giant python after her death. She appeared to him in a dream and asked him to save her. The Emperor thus compiled the Cibei daochang chanfa 慈悲道場懺法 in ten fascicles, based on the Buddhist Sutras, and asked the monks to perform a ritual of repentance. Qie was thus transformed into a deva. This repentance liturgy is also called Lianghuang baochan 梁皇寶懺.
