English version: His surname was Sun. He became a monk at the age of seven, as a disciple of Seng Hui (meaning: a personal name). At the age of sixteen, Seng Hui passed away. His expression of grief and the funeral rites were meticulously performed. Afterwards, he studied under Tan Jing (meaning: a personal name), embracing poverty and diligently pursuing learning, undeterred by severe cold or scorching heat. At the age of twenty-six, he lectured on the *Satyasiddhi Shastra*. Some senior Dharma masters, who held themselves in high regard, came to debate and challenge him. Consequently, his reputation spread throughout the capital, attracting over a thousand listeners. He tirelessly taught and guided, never growing weary. In the first year of Yongyuan (403 CE), the emperor ordered him to lecture on the *Shrimala Sutra* at the Huilun Hall, with the emperor himself in attendance. At that time, the Bhikshu Dao Chao (meaning: a personal name) of Linggen Temple, diligently studied and encouraged himself, hoping to attain understanding like Seng Min (meaning: a personal name). He dreamt that someone told him, 'Dharma Master Seng Min is an incarnation of Vipashyin Buddha (meaning: one of the past seven Buddhas), and is already capable of lecturing and expounding the Dharma. You have only just begun your practice, how can you compare to him? As long as you exert yourself, you need not worry about not attaining a corresponding understanding.' Later, Dao Chao had a great realization. Seng Min once built a statue of Maitreya Buddha (meaning: the future Buddha), along with various offerings, and paid homage to it morning and evening. Thereupon, he dreamt that Maitreya Buddha sent an emanation Bodhisattva to give him a Bodhi tree (meaning: the tree of enlightenment). The Bodhisattva said, 'The Bodhi tree, in the language of the Liang dynasty, is called the Daochang tree.' The disciple quite publicized this matter. Seng Min, upon hearing this, admonished him, saying, 'The *Book of Rites* speaks of six kinds of dreams, only the true dream is real, and is a precursor of good or bad events. Therefore, the Zhou dynasty established the office of dream interpretation, which later generations abolished, precisely because worldly people are deceitful and often fabricate dreams. My previous dream was merely a product of my thoughts. Do not spread this matter any further.' Chan Master Huisi (meaning: a personal name) Huisi, whose lay surname was Li, was a native of Wujin. From a young age, he was known for his magnanimity and compassionate nurturing. He once dreamt of a Brahman monk urging him to renounce the world. He awoke with a start and realized this was an auspicious sign, so he bid farewell to his parents and entered the path of practice. He ate only one meal a day and did not accept extra offerings. He recited over thirty scrolls of scriptures, including the *Lotus Sutra*, completing over a thousand recitations in a few years. He also dreamt of hundreds of Brahman monks, with different appearances and attire. The senior monk commanded him, saying, 'The precepts you received previously, the monastic rules are not perfect, how can you develop the right path? Since you have encountered a pure Sangha, you should re-establish the ordination platform and invite forty-two Sangha masters to perform the Karma ritual (meaning: ordination ceremony) for you, so that you may be fully ordained.' Later, Huisi suddenly awoke and realized that he had received the precepts in a dream. From then on, he devoted himself even more diligently to practice, and was able to see the deeds he had performed in the past three lives. He also dreamt that Maitreya Buddha and Amitabha Buddha (meaning: the lord of the Western Pure Land) expounded the Dharma and enlightened him, so he built... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Two images. And offered together. Also dreamed of following Maitreya (the future Buddha), with all his retinue, gathering together under the Dragon Flower Tree. In his heart, he thought to himself: 'In the Dharma-ending Age of Shakyamuni Buddha, I uphold the *Lotus Sutra*, and now I encounter the Compassionate Maitreya.' Feeling sorrow and weeping, he suddenly awakened. He became even more diligent. Auspicious omens appeared one after another. Practicing meditation, restraining his body, and sitting in meditation for a long time. After twenty-one days, he began to calm down and observe, seeing the karmic images of good and evil from his entire life. Therefore, he exclaimed and became even more courageous. Lamenting that he had gained nothing, he blamed himself for being muddled and wasting his life. Feeling deeply ashamed, he relaxed his body and leaned against the wall. Before his back reached the wall, he suddenly awakened. The *Lotus Samadhi* (meditation attained through the *Lotus Sutra*), the Great Vehicle Dharma, became clear in a single thought, not through the enlightenment of others. Su Fu Lou Lou was a disciple of Dharma Master Xian. Dharma Master Xian instructed him in his will to cast a Buddha image according to the eighteen-foot (approximately 4.16 meters) golden image made by Shi Dao'an, but Lou did not know what the golden image looked like, so he began casting. It was successful in one smelting, without anything missing. When the Buddha image was being cast, flowers like plums fell from the sky, covering the entire temple. He also built a bronze Maitreya image at home, more than ten feet tall (approximately 3.3 meters). Later, he dreamed of Dharma Master Xian, who told him to build another Buddha image, so he built a large image at Fanyun Temple, fifty-nine feet tall (approximately 19.5 meters). The details are recorded elsewhere. In the early Sui Dynasty (581-618 AD), Prince Xiao of Qin, Yang Jun, once garrisoned Xiangdu and heard that the ancient image of Master An had a very special shape, so he sent someone to draw it. He built a Buddha image at Yanxing Temple in Chang'an. On the first night of casting, he also sensed heavenly music and rain of flowers, which was very efficacious. The Buddha image is still in Yanxing Temple. Dhyana Master Faxian Faxian, whose surname was Ding, was a native of Jiangling in Nan Commandery. He left home at the age of twelve and followed Dharma Master Baoming, serving diligently for many years and asking about the essentials of the scriptures. Later, he followed Master Hao and learned the art of subduing the mind, so he returned to the valley and lived in quiet seclusion. He ate vegetables and water in the morning, and stopped drinking water after noon. He sat in meditation in the Meiliang Hall of Dao'an for more than thirty years. In this hall, there is a Maitreya image, including the halo and base, forty feet high (approximately 13.3 meters), surrounded by the Eight Classes of beings. It was built by Mitian. The jeweled crown, the magnificent curtains, the offering implements, and the scripture platform were all managed by Faxian. The five lamps in the hall burned day and night. Suddenly, one lamp burned brightly on its own, with flames more than ten feet high (approximately 3.3 meters). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

又一夜着五色衣人。持一金瓶来奉。显一生乐疾。并信往业。受而不治。五十余年。足不出户。梦身坐宝殿。授四众戒。就床跏坐。俨然便绝(弥天。即道安法师)。 道积法师 积。河东安邑人。先讲涅槃。后敷摄论。并诸异部。往往宣传。及知命将邻。偏弘地持。以为诫勖之极。先沙门宝澄。隋初于普救寺。创营弥勒大像百尺。万工才登其一。不卒所愿。而澄早逝。乡邑蓍艾。请积继之。修建十年。雕妆都了。道俗庆赖。欣喜相并。初积受请之夕。梦二师子。于大像侧。连吐明珠。相续不绝。既觉。惟曰。兽王自在。则表法流无滞。宝珠自涌。乃喻财施无穷。冥运潜开功成斯在。即命工匠。图梦所见。于弥勒大像前。今犹存焉。像设三层。岩廓四合。上坊下院。赫奕相临。园硙田蔬。周环俯就。小而成大。咸积之功。贞观十年。九月十七日。终于本寺。春秋六十有九。未终三日。钟不发声。逝后如旧。众咸哀叹。 慧云法师 云。姓姚氏。湖湘人也。十岁往南岳。初祖禅师。禀承慈训。而能黠慧。好味经教。沉默如也。弱冠受具。自专护戒。且喜毗尼。寻罢讲科。专营福事。江北行化。来观梁苑。夜宿繁台。企望。随河北岸。有异气属天。质明入城寻睹。乃歙州司马宅。西北园中池沼。 现代汉语译本 又有一个晚上，一个穿着五彩衣服的人，拿着一个金瓶来进献。弥天（即道安法师）一生都受疾病困扰，并且相信这是往昔的业报所致，因此接受而不进行治疗。五十多年来，他足不出户。他梦见自己坐在宝殿上，为四众弟子授戒。然后在床上结跏趺坐，安详地去世了。 道积法师 道积，是河东安邑人。他先讲解《涅槃经》（Nirvana Sutra），后来阐述《摄大乘论》（Mahāyānasaṃgraha）。对于各种不同的学派，他都广泛地宣传。等到他知道自己寿命将尽时，便着重弘扬《地持论》（Bodhisattvabhūmi），作为最后的告诫和勉励。先前有沙门宝澄，在隋朝初年于普救寺，开始建造一尊百尺高的弥勒（Maitreya）大像。但才完成十分之一，宝澄就去世了，未能完成他的愿望。乡里的人们于是请道积来继续完成这项工程。经过十年的修建，雕刻和装饰全部完成。僧人和俗人都感到庆幸和欣慰。当初道积接受邀请的那天晚上，梦见两只狮子在大像旁边，连续吐出明珠，一个接一个，没有停歇。醒来后，他说：‘兽王自在，这表示佛法之流没有阻碍；宝珠自己涌出，这是比喻财施无穷无尽。’冥冥之中的力量在暗中开启，功德的成就就在于此。于是他命令工匠，将梦中所见的情景画下来，放在弥勒大像前，现在还存在。佛像设置了三层，周围有岩石围绕。上方的佛寺和下方的院落，相互辉映。园林、水磨、田地和蔬菜，环绕四周，俯首可得。从小到大，这都是道积的功劳。贞观十年（636年）九月十七日，道积在本寺去世，享年六十九岁。去世前三天，寺庙的钟不响，去世后又恢复如常。大家都感到哀伤和叹息。 慧云法师 慧云，姓姚，是湖湘人。十岁时前往南岳，跟随初祖禅师，接受教诲，并且非常聪明。他喜欢研读经教，沉默寡言。二十岁时受具足戒，自己专门守护戒律，并且喜欢研究毗尼（Vinaya，戒律）。后来停止了讲经说法，专门从事造福的事情。他在江北弘法，来到梁苑观光。晚上住在繁台，眺望远方。看到河北岸，有奇异的光芒直冲天空。第二天早上进城寻找，发现是歙州司马的宅邸，西北园中的池塘。
