撫州顯慶年中有潭州行像。自移來州東二十里。山中道現兩跡。長三尺相去五百餘里。初不知其來。有人尋山見怪。遍告遠近將移就寺不動。刺史以下官人酷旱。步至像所請還州寺。三人捧之至州。隨行雲布當夜大澍。遂以有年。今在撫州。

During the Xianqing reign period in Fuzhou, an image from Tanzhou that had been carried in procession moved on its own to a spot twenty li east of the prefecture. In the mountains along the way, two footprints appeared, each three feet long and over five hundred li apart. At first, no one knew where it had come from. Someone searching the mountain saw this strange wonder and announced it far and wide; they attempted to move it to the temple, but it would not budge. The prefectural governor and subordinate officials, suffering from a severe drought, went on foot to where the image stood and petitioned for it to return to the prefectural temple. Three men then lifted it and brought it to the prefecture. Clouds spread following their steps, and that very night rain poured down heavily, yielding a prosperous harvest. It remains today in Fuzhou.
