10.51

齊武成世。并東看山人掘見土黃白。又見一物狀如兩脣。其中有舌鮮紅赤色。以事聞奏。帝問道俗。沙門法上曰。此持法華者六根不壞也。誦滿千遍其徵驗乎。乃集持法華者圍繞誦經。纔始發聲。此靈脣舌一時鼓動。同見毛竪。以事奏聞。乃石函緘之。

During the reign of Emperor Wucheng of the Northern Qi, a mountain dweller east of Bingzhou was digging when he saw yellow and white earth. He also saw an object shaped like two lips, within which was a fresh, bright-red tongue. He reported the matter to the throne. The Emperor questioned both monastics and laity. The monk Fashang said: 'This is the incorruptibility of the six sense faculties of one who upholds the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra. Is it not the verifiable proof of reciting it a full thousand times?' Thereupon, they gathered those who upheld the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra to encircle it and recite the sūtra. As soon as they raised their voices, these miraculous lips and tongue moved simultaneously. All who witnessed it had their hair stand on end. The matter was memorialized to the throne, and it was placed in a stone casket and sealed.
