English version: Later, Dharma Master Xiao explained Buddhist teachings. At that time, Du Bi, the governor of Jiao Prefecture, invited him to lecture at Xianyi Temple. Suddenly, a flock of geese flew in, landed in front of the Dharma seat, and listened attentively. After the lecture, the geese flew away. Later, a flock of sparrows also came to the seat and listened attentively. There were many such miraculous events. Chan Master Pukuang Cuts Off Ears, Dharma Master Jingai Cuts Out Heart Chan Master Pukuang cherished diligence and hardship, often living in forests and wilderness. Later, he resided in Zijing Temple in Fanzhou. One night, while resting in a cold forest, someone demanded his head. Chan Master Pukuang then took a knife and prepared to kill himself. The beggar stopped him and instead asked for his ears. Chan Master Pukuang then cut off his ears and gave them to him. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui (581-604 AD), Buddhism flourished, and some Yellow Turban rebels slandered Buddhism. Chan Master Pukuang then argued with them, clarifying the truth through debate. Afterward, he cut off his other ear. Later, he had no ears at all. Dharma Master Jingai had been living in seclusion on Mount Taiyi since he began studying the Dharma. Emperor Wu of Liang (Xiao Yan) learned of Dharma Master Jingai's reputation and issued an edict to send carriages and ceremonial guards to the mountain to welcome Dharma Master Jingai, intending to grant him the position of Senior Minister. Dharma Master Jingai refused. He said to his disciples, 'I see the Great Dharma declining and decaying, and I am of no benefit to Buddhism. I wish to give up my life to repay the Buddha's kindness.' The disciples all refused to allow it. The scholars admired and missed him. So he wrote the 'Collection of the Three Jewels' in twenty volumes and showed it to his students. Emperor Wu issued another edict urging him to come, wanting to visit him on the mountain himself. Dharma Master Jingai quietly went to a boulder on the top of the cliff, cut off pieces of flesh from his body and laid them on the stone, pulled out his intestines and hung them on pine branches. The rest of his muscles, limbs, head, and face were all cut up and scattered. Only his bones and heart remained. Then he cut out his heart, held it up, and died. The disciples were shocked and horrified. Dharma Master Huiguo Digs Up Money, Dharma Master Huiyi Takes Gold Dharma Master Huiguo made reciting scriptures his daily practice. Suddenly, in the toilet, he saw a ghost bowing to Dharma Master Huiguo, saying, 'I used to be a monk, serving as a Vina (a temple position), and many things I did were not in accordance with the Dharma, so I fell into the state of a Dambhaksa ghost (a type of ghost). I know that you, Dharma Master, are of high virtue, and I hope you can liberate me. There are three thousand copper coins buried under the root of a Persimmon tree (a type of tree), which can be used as capital for doing good deeds.' Dharma Master Huiguo then told everyone, and they dug together and found three thousand copper coins, and did good deeds for the ghost. A day later, the ghost came to visit again, saying that he had escaped from suffering. Dharma Master Huiyi had been studying Buddhism for a long time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version He deeply understood the great meaning of Buddhism and was highly respected by the Song Emperor. At that time, there was a Daoist named Facheng in Jizhou, who said to his disciple Puyan before his death: 'The God of Mount Song said that there is a General Liu in Jiangdong who should receive the mandate of heaven. I will use thirty-two pieces of jade and a piece of Zhenjin (gold used for suppressing evil) as tokens.' Someone reported this matter to the emperor, and the emperor summoned Yi and said: 'This is an extraordinary matter. I want to obtain it, and I need an extraordinary person. However, the only one who can accomplish this is probably you, Master, who must go there in person.' So Yi went to Mount Song and searched for a long time without finding it. Then he burned incense and prayed. On the seventh day, he dreamed of an old man with a long beard leaning on a cane, leading Yi to the place where the jade was, pointing and saying: 'It's under this stone.' The next morning, he searched around the foot of the mountain and came to a place that looked like the place he saw in his dream. He found thirty-two pieces of jade and a piece of Zhenjin under the stone in the temple. This matter is recorded in the 'History of the Song Dynasty' (960-1279). (Wei) Wonhyo is Unrivaled, Zhishen is Formidable Wonhyo was a person from Silla (an ancient Korean kingdom). He lived in Silla and was known for his understanding and practice of Buddhism, and was respected by the local residents. He studied Buddhism in depth and wrote a large number of articles and commentaries, sometimes bravely criticizing heresies, and sometimes eloquently stating the Dharma. The people of Silla said: 'Even if there are ten thousand people, they cannot argue with Wonhyo.' Later, he came to China and greatly promoted Buddhism. Zhishen, styled Huicheng, was intelligent and enlightened from a young age, had great integrity, but also had many strict taboos. He was well versed in the Vinaya School and was invited by King Wang Jian of Shu to gather monks at Faju Temple to lecture on the scriptures. There was a monk named Daohui, who was fierce and fierce, and was extraordinary. He ran away when he saw Zhishen from afar. Someone asked: 'You have never been afraid of anyone, why are you afraid of seeing Lawyer Zhishen?' Daohui said: 'This person is the king of Buddhism, how can I not be afraid?' Someone said: 'With your courage, Daohui, can't you defeat a lawyer?' Daohui said: 'Even if I can defeat a thousand people by force, when I see Lawyer Zhishen from afar, all the meridians in my body are stagnant, and my limbs cannot be lifted. How can I fight him?' At that time, people said that Lawyer Zhishen was truly awe-inspiring. (Zhi) Puming Sees Form, Huikan Extends Arm Puming lived in Mount Tiantai and practiced meditation as his main practice.
