五年。廬陵太守周湛進金像高九尺三寸。言僧法均夢中獲之。因尋訪至三曲江。光浮水面。求之果得獲。既而長沙郡進金光趺云。漁人得之水上。安其像如一○魏使李道固來朝。帝以中興寺僧鐘有才辯。召為館伴。與語不已。過中不食。道固曰。無乃為聲聞耶。鐘曰。應以聲聞身得度者。即現聲聞身而為說法。時稱名對。

In the fifth year, Zhou Zhan, the Grand Administrator of Luling, presented a golden image nine feet and three inches tall, saying that the monk Fajun had obtained it in a dream. Following up on this, he searched as far as the Sanqu River, where light floated on the water's surface; when sought, it was indeed found. Soon after, Changsha Commandery presented a golden-radiant pedestal, saying that a fisherman had obtained it upon the water. When the image was placed on it, they matched as one.
Li Daogu, an envoy from Wei, came to court. Because the monk Sengzhong of Zhongxing Temple was talented and eloquent, the Emperor summoned him to be the host of the guest house. Talking with him without pause past noon, [Sengzhong] would not eat. Daogu said: 'Could it be that you are a śrāvaka?' Zhong said: 'To those who are to be saved by the body of a śrāvaka, [a bodhisattva] immediately appears as a śrāvaka to preach the Dharma to them.' At that time, it was praised as a famous response.
