3.94

宋大明四年。路太后於中興寺造普賢乘象事因設講會。忽有異僧。風貌秀舉。一堂異之。與語百餘。尋爾不見。初有一僧。前起問曰。不審上人從何而來。曰來自天安。不審何名。曰名慧明也。

In the fourth year of the Daming era of the Song, Empress Dowager Lu constructed [an image of] Samantabhadra riding an elephant at Zhongxing Temple and on that account convened a lecture assembly. Suddenly an extraordinary monk appeared whose bearing and demeanor were remarkably refined. The whole hall marveled at him. After conversing with others for more than a hundred words, he abruptly vanished. Earlier, a monk had risen, approached, and asked him, 'May I inquire from where the Venerable has come?' He replied, 'I come from Tian'an.' 'May I inquire what your name is?' He replied, 'My name is Huiming.'
