三寶感應要略錄 2.42

2.42

Under the Song dynasty, Shi Puming of Linzi recited the two sūtras of the Lotus and Vimalakīrti. When reciting the Vimalakīrti-sūtra, he heard musical chanting in the air. He was also skilled in divine dhāraṇīs; whomever he saved was healed. There was a minister named Wang Daozhen whose wife was ill; he invited Puming into the inner quarters. The wife then fainted away. Soon, a creature resembling a wildcat, several feet long, was seen, and so forth.
