8.23

有一老婦雙瞽，令小兒牽行，常念阿彌陀佛。一日息於舊屋之下，屋忽傾倒，小兒走去，老婦在下，乃有二木相拄，護於老婦之上，得不壓死。此念佛之效也。妙定居士為予言之。

There was an old woman, blind in both eyes, who had a young boy lead her as she walked; she constantly recited Amitābha Buddha. One day she rested beneath an old house. The house suddenly collapsed; the young boy ran away, and the old woman remained beneath. Thereupon two timbers propped each other up, shielding the old woman from above, so that she was not crushed to death. This is the efficacy of recollection of the Buddha. Layman Miaoding told me of this.
