17.12

晉始寧山有竺法義。晉興寧中沙門。游刃眾典尤善法華。受業弟子常有百餘。至咸安二年。忽感心氣疾病。常存念觀世音。乃夢見一人破腹洗腸。寤便病愈。傅亮每云。吾先君與義公游處無間。說觀世音神異莫不大小肅然。

On Mount Shining in the Jin lived Zhu Fayi, a monk of the Xingning era of the Jin. He was thoroughly versed in numerous scriptures and was especially skilled in the *Lotus Sūtra*; his disciples usually numbered more than a hundred. In the second year of Xian'an, he suddenly suffered from an ailment of heart-qi. He constantly kept Avalokiteśvara in his thoughts. He then dreamed of a person who opened his abdomen and washed his intestines; upon waking, his illness was cured. Fu Liang often said: "My late father associated with Master Yi without estrangement; whenever he spoke of the divine anomalies of Avalokiteśvara, both great and small were reverent and solemn."
