第十感應者，宋主請西來三藏令講此經，其人恨以方音未通，恐說不盡旨，乃入道場祈請。纔盈七日，遂夢以漢首易己梵頭，因即洞解宋言，講授無滯。又九隴山尼敬重此經，專精轉讀二十餘載，遂感目覩毛端剎海。又五臺山尼常誦此經，從曛至曉一部斯畢，口中光煇遍燿山谷。又北齊炬法師崇重此經，闕於師受，專讀祈解十五餘年，遂夢善財授聰明藥，因即開悟造疏十卷，講五十餘遍。又定州中山修德禪師，翹誠護淨鈔寫此經，後開函放光照一百二十里。又閹人劉謙之，因於五臺山專讀此經，遂復丈夫形。諸如此例事極繁廣，具如五卷《華嚴傳》中說。

Tenth, resonant responses: The ruler of the Song invited a Tripiṭaka master who came from the west and ordered him to lecture on this sūtra. The man was troubled that he had not yet mastered the local tongue and feared he could not fully convey its import, so he entered the bodhimaṇḍa to pray. Scarcely seven days having elapsed, he dreamed that his Indian head was replaced with a Chinese head; thereupon he thoroughly understood the Song language and lectured without impediment. Moreover, a nun of Mount Jiulong revered this sūtra and read and recited it with single-minded devotion for over twenty years, whereupon she was granted the vision of oceanic worlds on the tip of a single hair. In addition, a nun of Mount Wutai regularly chanted this sūtra, completing the entire work from dusk until dawn, with bright radiance from her mouth illuminating the valleys and mountains all around. Furthermore, Dharma Master Ju of the Northern Qi venerated this sūtra, but lacked a teacher's instruction; he read it with single-minded prayer for understanding for over fifteen years, whereupon he dreamed that Sudhana gave him medicine for intelligence, through which he immediately attained awakening, composed a ten-fascicle commentary, and lectured on it more than fifty times. Also, Chan Master Xiude of Zhongshan in Dingzhou copied this sūtra with earnest sincerity and observance of purity; afterwards, when the case was opened, it emitted light illuminating one hundred and twenty li. Also, the eunuch Liu Qianzhi, by virtue of single-mindedly reading this sūtra at Mount Wutai, restored his male form. Incidents of this kind are extremely numerous; they are fully recounted in the five-fascicle Biographies of the Avataṃsaka.
