大唐內典錄 10.56

10.56

釋空藏者。貞觀時。住京師會昌寺。誦經三百餘卷。說化為業。遊浪川原。有緣斯赴。昔往藍田負兒山誦經。齎麵六斗擬為月調。乃經三周。日噉二升。猶不得盡。又感神鼎。不知何來。時至玉泉。以為終焉之地。時經亢旱泉竭。合寺將散。藏乃至心祈請。泉即應時涌溢。道俗動色驚嗟不已。貞觀十六年終於京寺。還葬山所。

The monk Kongzang lived at Huichang Si in the capital during the Zhenguan era. He chanted over three hundred fascicles of sūtras and made expounding and transforming others his occupation. Wandering through rivers and plains, wherever he had a karmic connection he went. Formerly he went to Mount Fu'er in Lantian to chant sūtras, taking six dou of flour intended as a monthly supply. But after three full weeks, though he ate two sheng each day, it still could not be exhausted. He also moved a divine cauldron [to appear], not knowing whence it came. Later he went to Yuquan, intending it to be his final resting place. At that time there was a severe drought and the spring dried up, so the entire monastery was about to disband. Zang prayed with the utmost sincerity, and the spring immediately gushed and overflowed in response. Monastics and laypeople changed countenance, marveling and sighing without end. In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, he passed away at the capital monastery, and was taken back to be buried at the mountain.
