He once entered a monastery and saw a Buddha image as tall as his own body, which Liang then provided special offerings to. Later, while sitting in his hall with two maidservants standing in attendance, he suddenly heard thunder and lightning. Liang was by nature terrified of thunder, so he mentally concentrated on that Buddha image. Soon after, a thunderbolt struck a pillar of his hall. One of the attending maidservants ran out, reached the steps, and died. Splinters from the pillar struck Liang on the forehead, but without much pain; upon inspection, there was only a red mark, while the pillar's wood had split in half and fallen to the ground as if snapped by a person. Afterwards, Liang went to the monastery: behind the forehead of the image there was a large mark, as if struck by an object, corresponding exactly to the location of Liang's mark. Liang and the crowd were amazed and sighed in admiration. (Liang personally told this to Gao Yu as such. People of Youzhou also know of it.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2082.2.6) - [Next: 2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2082.2.8) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2082.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2082~en-mt.2.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2082.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2082.2.7) · Pramāṇa
