In Huazhou, a stupa was erected at Sijue Temple. The weather had been overcast and snowing, but when the relics were about to be lowered, the sun shone brightly. A multicolored vapor of light, several zhang above the ground and shaped like the rings of a stupa finial, directly covered the stupa. Viewed from several tens of li away, it was bright red and reached upward to the sky. After the relics had been lowered, clouds and mist arose again, and auspicious snow fluttered down like heavenly flowers, clinging to people's clothes for a long time without melting into dampness.
