36.48

In the first year of the Xian'an reign era, crows came to nest in the Taiji Hall. The emperor summoned Qu Anyuan to divine it, who said, 'In the southwest there is a female master who can dispel this portent.' At that time, the nun Daorong resided at Wujiang Monastery in Liyang. She was summoned to the capital. Flowers were placed under the mat to test whether she was ordinary or sage; the flowers beneath Rong's seat did not wither. She said to the emperor, 'Your Majesty should observe the eight precepts of the fast; the calamitous omen will naturally vanish.' The emperor acted according to her words, and the flock of crows moved their nest and departed. An imperial order was issued to construct Xinlin Monastery for her residence. The śramaṇa Zhu Fakuang entered the capital to perform fasts and penance to avert an ominous star, after which the star disappeared.
