Under Emperor Wu of the Southern Qi: Liu Ji's mother was ill; he recited [the name of] Avalokiteśvara tens of thousands of times, and dreamed of a monk who said, "The lady's allotted lifespan has run out; I shall extend it for her by sixty days." ○ The Prince of Jingling composed a musical piece on the Vimalakīrti in a dream and chanted it, whereupon flocks of cranes flew and danced. ○ When the Prince of Jin'an was seven years old, his mother was ill; he invited monks to practice the Way, and a lotus in a bronze vase stayed fresh and red for seven days. ○ Under Emperor Ming: When Teng Dangong was five years old, his mother was ill and craved melon; presently a monk arrived and gave her a melon.
