華嚴經傳記 4.23

4.23

Gao Yicheng was a native of Linfen County in Jinzhou. His family tradition was one of faith and reverence, highly esteemed by his village neighbors. In the second month of the fourth year of Xianheng, he requested the Avataṃsaka Sūtra from Bhadrakalpasi in Hongdong County. As it was being chanted within the stūpa inside his home, at high noon there was suddenly an extraordinary light, like the sun shining into a mirror, blossoming upon the wall, subsiding only after a long time. Next, for a second time, the light illuminated the Buddha hall, encircling the four walls. Because of this, those near and far watched together, and none failed to sigh in admiration at this efficacious sign.
