汴州表云。舍利三月二日到州。權置州館。六日夜大德僧慧徹等。忽聞香氣有異尋常。至八日諸僧迎舍利將向塔所。大德僧粲等五人。復聞香氣。去慧福寺門四十餘步。遂放青色光覆炤露帳。大久乃滅。其寺有舍利。在僧房供養。其日杞州人張相仁。於僧房見寺內舍利復放青色光。恰與新至舍利色狀相似。十日復至見赤色光臨寺佛堂。高五尺其夜四更復見青赤雜色光於寺。復有一老母。患腰已來二十餘年。拄杖伏地而行。聞舍利至寺。強來禮拜。於大眾裏見舍利光。腰即得差捨杖而行。

The memorial from Bianzhou stated: The relics arrived in the prefecture on the second day of the third month, temporarily placed in the prefectural guesthouse. On the night of the sixth day, the venerable monk Huiche and others suddenly smelled a fragrance out of the ordinary. On the eighth day, when the monks welcomed the relics to convey them toward the pagoda site, the venerable monk Can and four others again smelled the fragrance. More than forty paces from the gate of Huifu Temple, blue-green light was emitted, covering and illuminating the open canopy, extinguishing only after a great while. That temple had relics enshrined in the monks' quarters. On that day, Zhang Xiangren, a man of Qizhou, saw the relics inside the temple's monks' quarters emit blue-green light again, matching exactly the color and appearance of the newly arrived relics. On the tenth day, it happened again: red light was seen descending upon the temple's Buddha hall, five feet high. At the fourth watch [1:00–3:00 a.m.] that night, mixed blue-green and red light was seen again in the temple. Furthermore, there was an old mother who had suffered from a lumbar disease for more than twenty years, walking bent over to the ground with a staff; hearing that the relics had arrived at the temple, she made the effort to come and pay homage. Amid the great assembly, she saw the light of the relics, and her lumbar disease was immediately cured, so that she cast aside her staff and walked.
