馮珉。上虞人。少事遊獵。有巨蛇為鄉民害。珉持槊往從之。見蛇在岩下與黃特相持。珉推巨石壓之。蛇竟死。後每思之慮蛇為怨對。乃求佛解釋。投志西方修懺念佛。如是十載。一夕請同修社人。相助諷彌陀經念佛號。次誦普賢懺罪偈願往生偈。即端坐合掌而終。

Feng Min was a native of Shangyu. In his youth he engaged in hunting. There was a giant serpent harming the villagers, so Min took a spear and went after it. He saw the serpent beneath a cliff locked in confrontation with a yellow bull. Min pushed a giant rock down upon it, and the serpent ultimately died. Later, whenever he thought of this, he worried that the serpent would become an enemy seeking retribution. He therefore sought the Buddha to resolve it, turning his aspiration toward the West to cultivate repentance and recite the Buddha's name. Thus it went for ten years. One evening he invited his fellow members of the society to assist in reciting the Amitābha Sūtra and calling upon the Buddha's name, and next chanted Samantabhadra's verses for repenting sins and verses of aspiration for rebirth. He then sat upright with palms joined and passed away.
