集神州三寶感通錄 2.21

2.21

Seventeenth, in the second year of the Yuanjia reign era of the Song, Liu Shizhi made a golden image of Mañjuśrī, worshipping it morning and evening. Before long, it was lost; full of sorrow, he prayed without slackening day or night. After five years, in the evening twilight, he saw light emanating from the Buddha's seat reaching to the roof beam. Shizhi therefore burned incense and wiped down the platform and curtains, whereupon he saw the lost image solemnly standing there intact.
