龍舒增廣淨土文 8.25

有官員李子清，寄居秀州，頗好道家，嘗從學於予。前年久苦痁疾，予告之云：「但恐子清不信，若信之必效。」予乃授以一方，令臨發時專念阿彌陀佛而服此藥。子清從之，其日遂愈八分，次日復如是，遂全愈。子清由是篤信佛理，常以淨土文置於袖中。

There was an official named Li Ziqing who was temporarily residing in Xiuzhou. He was quite fond of the Daoists and had once studied under me. In a previous year he suffered long from malaria. I told him, saying: "I only fear you will not believe, Ziqing; if you believe it, it will certainly take effect." I then gave him a prescription, instructing him that when the onset approached, he should single-mindedly recite Amitābha Buddha and take this medicine. Ziqing followed this, and that day he was eighty percent healed; on the following day he did the same again, and was completely healed. From this, Ziqing came to have deep faith in Buddhist principles, and constantly kept Pure Land writings in his sleeve.
