集神州三寶感通錄 3.41

3.41

釋空藏者。貞觀時住京師會昌寺。誦經三百餘卷說化為業。遊涼川原有緣斯赴。昔往藍田負兒山誦經。齎麪六斗擬為月調。乃經三周日噉二升。猶不得盡。又感神鼎。不知何來。時至王泉以為終焉之地。時經亢旱泉竭。合寺將散。藏乃至心祈請。泉即應時涌溢。道俗動色驚嗟不已。貞觀十六年歿於京寺。還葬山所。

The monk Kongzang resided at Huichang Temple in the capital during the Zhenguan reign era. He made reciting over three hundred rolls of scriptures and preaching to transform people his practice. He traveled through the plains of the Liang River, responding wherever karmic conditions arose. Formerly, he went to Fu'er Mountain in Lantian to recite scriptures, bringing six dou of flour intended as a month's provision. Yet after three cycles of seven days, though he ate two sheng each day, it still could not be exhausted. Moreover, he evoked a divine cauldron through sympathetic resonance, not knowing where it had come from. Later he came to Wangquan, considering it his final resting place. At that time there was a severe drought and the spring dried up; the entire temple was on the verge of dispersing. Zang then prayed with utmost sincerity, and the spring immediately welled up and overflowed in response. Monastics and laypeople changed countenance, marveling in unending astonishment. In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, he died at the capital temple and was brought back to be buried at the mountain site.
