集神州三寶感通錄 3.17

又終南山庫谷內西南。又名瓠盧谷。昔有人於山採斫遇見一寺。并石室石門。門內並寶器重大不可勝。然不見僧人是眾僧具度。其人徘徊顧眄記誌處所。以齎瓠盧掛於室樹下山。召村人往尋其谷內。樹上往往悉是瓠盧。莫知蹤跡。今有尋山者云。石門扇在山崖旁。半入山下。其半雖出無人力開之。今其谷名庫。地名天藏。故谷口府坊皆名天藏。測其山中則彌勒下時。方現於俗耳。

Furthermore, in the southwest within the Ku Valley of Mount Zhongnan, also called Hulu Valley (Gourd Valley): formerly, someone felling trees in the mountains came upon a temple with stone chambers and stone gates. Inside the gates were precious vessels, heavy and large beyond measure. Yet he saw no monks, though all the utensils of the saṃgha were fully provided. The man paced back and forth, gazing about to mark the location; taking the gourd he was carrying, he hung it from a tree by the chamber and descended the mountain. He called the villagers to go search for it, but inside the valley, all the trees here and there had gourds upon them, and none could find the trace. Nowadays, mountain-explorers say that the stone gate leaves remain beside a mountain cliff, half sunken into the mountain; though half protrudes, human strength cannot open it. Now this valley is named Ku (Storehouse), and the place is named Tianzang (Heavenly Treasury); hence the government offices and wards at the valley mouth are all named Tianzang. We may surmise that within these mountains, it will only manifest to the worldly realm when Maitreya descends.
