37.27

六年。烏傷居士傅翕。至松山結庵雙檮樹間。自號雙林當來下生善慧大士。令弟子奉書詣闕。稱帝為國主救世菩薩。詔報曰。大士為度眾生欲來隨意。帝預勅鎖門以觀其異。大士袖出木槌一扣諸門盡開。見帝於善言殿。謁者三贊。不拜。直上御榻對語。設齋食竟出鍾山。坐定林松下。大士一日披納頂冠靸履見上。上問。是僧耶。士以手指冠。是道耶。以手指履。是俗耶。以手指納衣（汾陽昭代云大士多能）○剡川尼法宣誦通法華。坐臥見帳蓋覆其上。父母令就齊明寺出家。是日帳蓋即不見。自是博覽經論。深探奧理。衡王元簡為郡守。請為越城母師○槃槃國進佛舍利。

In the sixth year, the lay practitioner Fu Xi of Wushang went to Mount Song and built a hut between two birchleaf pear trees, calling himself the Great Being Shanhui, the Future Descent of the Twin Trees. He sent a disciple carrying a letter to the imperial palace, addressing the Emperor as the Lord of the State, the Bodhisattva Savior of the World. The imperial decree replied: 'The Great Being wishes to come to save sentient beings; let it be as he pleases.' The Emperor had the gates locked beforehand to observe his wonders. The Great Being pulled a wooden mallet from his sleeve, struck it once, and all the gates opened. He met the Emperor in the Shanyan Hall. The usher called out praise three times, but he did not bow, walking straight up to the imperial couch to speak face to face. After the vegetarian meal was finished, he left for Mount Zhong and sat under the pines of Dinglin. One day, the Great Being donned a patched robe, wore a cap, and put on shoes to see the Emperor. The Emperor asked: 'Are you a monk?' The Great Being pointed to his cap. 'Are you a Daoist?' He pointed to his shoes. 'Are you a layman?' He pointed to his patched robe. (Fenyang Zhaodai remarked: 'The Great Being was capable in many ways.') The nun Faxuan of Shanchuan recited the *Lotus Sūtra* fluently; while sitting or lying down, she saw a canopy covering her. Her parents had her leave home at Qiming Monastery; on that day, the canopy disappeared. From then on, she read widely in the sūtras and treatises, deeply exploring their profound principles. Yuanjian, Prince of Heng, as commandery governor, invited her to be the preceptor of the women of Yuecheng. The kingdom of Panpan presented Buddha relics.
