2.132

齊武成世。并州東看山側有人。掘地見一處土。其色黃白。尋見一物。狀如人兩脣。其中有舌。鮮紅赤色。以事聞奏。帝問道俗等。無能知者。沙門大綩法師上奏曰。此持法花者六根不壞報耳。誦滿千遍。其必徵驗矣。乃集持法花者。圍繞誦經。纔始發聲。此靈脣舌。一時鼓動。聞見毛竪。以事奏聞。詔遣石函。藏之遷于室矣。

During the reign of Emperor Wucheng of Qi, beside the Dongkan Mountain in Bingzhou, someone digging the ground saw an area of soil of a yellow-white color. Digging further, he found an object shaped like two human lips, inside of which was a tongue, fresh, crimson, and red. This matter was reported to the throne. The Emperor asked both the monastic and lay communities, but none could understand it. The śramaṇa Master Dawan presented a memorial saying: 'This is merely the retribution of the indestructible six sense organs of one who upholds the Lotus Sūtra. If one completes the recitation a thousand times, there will surely be such a verified sign.' Thereupon, keepers of the Lotus Sūtra were gathered to surround it and recite the sūtra. As soon as their voices began, these miraculous lips and tongue stirred and moved at the same moment. Those who heard and saw it had their hair stand on end. The matter was reported to the throne; an edict ordered that a stone casket be sent, in which it was stored and moved to a room.
