晉雒陽大市寺有安慧則。未詳氏族。少無常性。卓越異人。而工正書善能談吐。晉永嘉年中天下疫病。則晝夜祈誠。願大神降藥以愈萬民。一日出寺門見兩石形如甕。則疑是異物。取看之。果有神水在內。病者飲服莫不皆愈。後止雒陽大市寺。手自細書黃縑寫大品一部。合為一卷。字如小豆。而分明可識。凡十餘本。以一本與汝南周仲智妻胡氏供養。胡母過江齎經自隨。後為災火所延。倉卒不暇取經。悲泣懊惱。火息後乃於灰中得之。首軸顏色一無虧損。于時同見聞者莫不迴邪改信。此經今在京師簡靖寺靖首尼處(右此一驗出梁高僧傳)。
During the Jin, at the Dashi Temple in Luoyang, there was An Huize. His family lineage is unknown. In his youth, he had no fixed conventional temperament, standing out as an extraordinary man. He was skilled in regular script and was an eloquent speaker. During the Yongjia era of the Jin, a pestilence struck the realm. Ze prayed sincerely day and night, wishing for a great spirit to send down medicine to heal the myriad people. One day, going out the temple gate, he saw two stones shaped like vats. Ze suspected they were extraordinary objects; taking and inspecting them, they indeed contained divine water inside. Sick people who drank it were without exception cured. Later, he resided at Dashi Temple in Luoyang, writing out by hand in fine script one copy of the Large Perfection of Wisdom Sūtra on yellow silk, combining it into a single roll. The characters were like small beans, yet distinct and legible. He made more than ten copies in all. He gave one copy to the wife of Zhou Zhongzhi of Runan, Lady Hu, to make offerings to. When Hu's mother crossed the Yangtze River, she brought the sūtra along with her. Later, it was caught in an accidental fire. In the haste, she had no time to retrieve the sūtra, and she wept in sorrow and distress. After the fire died down, she found it amid the ashes; the roller and fabric's color were not damaged in the slightest. At that time, of those who witnessed or heard of it, none failed to turn away from heterodoxy and change to faith. This sūtra is now held by the nun Jingshou at Jianjing Temple in the capital. (This verification is from the Liang Gaoseng zhuan.)
