佛祖統紀 46.8

46.8

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.
