46.8

五年。神智昇法師(慈雲下)來居越之興福。時清獻趙公抃為帥。適亢旱大疫。久禱不應。遂請師迎大士入府治。懇禱一夕雨如霔疫病亦息。抃奏於朝。賜所居曰圓通。錫師號曰神智。初是吳越王錢鏐鎮越患目眚。夢素衣仙人言。來自永嘉。明旦有永嘉僧投牒。以大士像獻言。得之海潮。示夢欲歸越城。武肅即具威儀迎之。一見像即目明。乃創菴曰興福。以奉之。

Fifth year [1090 CE]. Dharma Master Shenzhi Sheng (of the lineage of Ciyun) came to reside at Xingfu in Yue. At that time, Duke Zhao Bian, the Qingxian, served as military commissioner. A severe drought and great epidemic occurred, and prolonged prayers went unanswered. He then asked the master to welcome the Great Being [Guanyin] into the prefectural seat. After one night of earnest prayers, rain poured like a deluge and the epidemic ceased. Bian reported this to the court, which bestowed on his residence the name Yuantong and granted the master the title Shenzhi (Divine Wisdom). Earlier, King Qian Liu of Wuyue was governing Yue when he suffered an eye ailment. He dreamt of an immortal in white clothes saying, "I come from Yongjia." The next morning, a monk from Yongjia submitted a petition presenting an image of the Great Being, saying that he had retrieved it from the ocean tide and was shown in a dream that it wished to return to the city of Yue. King Wusu immediately prepared full regalia to welcome it. As soon as he saw the image, his sight cleared. Thereupon he founded a hermitage named Xingfu to enshrine it.
