集神州三寶感通錄 1.2

1.2

The beneficial appearance of the Three Jewels has an ancient origin. Yet because faith and denigration vie with one another, there are conditions for sympathetic responses. From the Han until the Tang, for more than six hundred years, numinous signs have been felt afar, as can be sought throughout various records. The divine transformations are without fixed bounds, awaiting an opportune juncture to be stirred into response. Luminous auspicious signs appear and vanish, inspiring faith in their own time; majestic images cast down their forms, displaying traces for ten thousand generations. Some appear in the past, and some are manifested in the future, brightly displayed before both monastics and laity, generating faith among both the deluded and the awakened. Therefore, I have gathered the essentials and formed this work in three fascicles.
