Under Emperor Gaozu of the Tang: The deceased Administrative Clerk Li went to the place of Dharma Master Yu to listen to the Dharma, and said to people, "Above human heads, ghosts, spirits, and all the devas are completely full." ○ Under Emperor Gaozong: Dhyāna Master Ying conducted the Water and Land Retreat established by Emperor Wu of Liang, moving King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Zhang Yi, and others to express their gratitude (and so on). ○ Under Emperor Xianzong: Dharma Master Zhibian cooked rice and scattered it in the outskirts, praying, "May those who eat my rice become my Dharma companions." Twenty years later, he went to Yecheng to give lectures, and the thousand people in the assembly below his seat were all youths. ○ When the government troops were fighting Wu Yuanji, Deng Yinfeng shook his monk's staff and flew into the sky; both armies looked up in awe and marvelled at it. ○ Under Emperor Yizong: An offering feast for ten thousand monks was held in the imperial palace. A monk with long eyebrows came to receive the offering; when he finished receiving the alms, he mounted into the sky and departed. ○ Under Emperor Zhaozong: When Dhyāna Master Wenju visited Xiyuan, five hundred monks had all contracted an epidemic; the master touched them with his staff, and they arose following the staff.
