36.22

建興元年。吳縣居士朱膺。於松江瀆口見二石像浮江而至。背有銘曰。維衛佛迦葉佛。遂迎至通玄寺。後八年漁者得青石鉢二於江上。歸以盛葷。俄見佛像在鉢際。識者謂前二像鉢。遂送寺中。

In the first year of the Jianxing era, the layman Zhu Ying of Wu County saw two stone statues floating down the river at the mouth of the Songjiang channel. On their backs were inscriptions reading: 'Vipaśyin Buddha, Kāśyapa Buddha.' He then welcomed them to Tongxuan Monastery. Eight years later, fishermen found two blue-stone bowls on the river and took them home to hold meat and pungent foods. Suddenly, they saw images of the Buddha around the rims of the bowls. Those with knowledge recognized them as the bowls for the two earlier statues, and they were sent to the monastery.
