佛祖統紀 11.22

11.22

法師載昇。會稽人。號神智。久參明智。時輩推其善說。先是錢武肅王帥杭日。嘗患目眚。夜夢素衣仙人言。自永嘉來。明旦永嘉僧。投牒願以觀音像獻。言得之海潮。諸山迎之不能舉。即而示夢欲歸越城。武肅即具威儀迎至。一見像已目即還明。乃創菴名興福。以奉之像。坐高六尺。梵相奇偉。燈夜迎望猶若生人。元祐問師來居興福時清獻公為帥。亢旱大疫久禱不應。遂罷遣群祀。請師迎像入府。懇禱一夕甘雨如注。疫亦以息。公為奏於朝。賜師神智。菴名圓通（此下本紀遺失一人）。

Dharma Master Zaisheng was a native of Kuaiji, styled Shenzhi. He studied for a long time under Mingzhi; his contemporaries praised his excellence in preaching. Prior to this, when King Qian Wusu commanded Hangzhou, he once suffered from an eye ailment. At night he dreamed of an immortal in plain clothes who said he came from Yongjia. The next morning, a monk from Yongjia submitted a petition wishing to present an image of Guanyin, saying he had obtained it from the ocean tide; when various mountains tried to welcome it, they could not lift it. Thereupon it manifested in a dream wishing to return to Yuecheng. Wusu immediately prepared full regalia to welcome it; upon seeing the image, his eyes immediately regained their sight. He then founded a hermitage named Xingfu to venerate it. The seated image was six feet tall, with a wondrous and imposing Sanskrit countenance; viewing it from afar amid the lamps at night, it seemed like a living person. During the Yuanyou era, when the Master came to reside at Xingfu, Lord Qingxian was the commander. There was a great drought and pestilence, and long prayers were without response. He thereupon dismissed the various sacrifices and asked the Master to welcome the image into the prefectural office. After one night of sincere prayer, sweet rain poured down, and the pestilence also subsided. The Lord submitted a memorial to the court, which granted the Master the title Shenzhi and named the hermitage Yuantong. (Below this, one person is missing from the basic annals).
