His surname was Liang, and it is unknown what kind of man he was. He constantly dwelt in the mountains practicing austerities, reciting sūtras of more than one hundred thousand words. Birds and beasts gathered around him, all tame as domestic fowl. In the shrine of Mount Tai, there was a large stone casket storing wealth and treasures. While once traveling through the mountains, Faxiang lodged beside the temple. Suddenly, he saw a person in dark clothing and a military cap, who ordered Faxiang to open the casket. Having spoken, he disappeared. The lid of the stone casket weighed more than a thousand jun. Faxiang tried lifting it, and it rose effortlessly into the air. Thereupon, he took its wealth to bestow upon poor people. He died toward the end of the Yuanxing era of the Jin at the age of eighty.
