唐太常少卿 臨淄段成式 柯古撰 序
貞元十七年（公元801年），先父從荊州（或蘄州）前往蜀地，應韋南康（南康王韋皋）的邀請。到了韋皋晚年，因為叛賊的讒言構陷，先父被委任為靈池縣的縣尉。韋皋不久去世，叛賊任命知留後。先父與叛賊向來不合，聽到訊息后連夜離開縣城，到達城東門。叛賊很快發出公文，禁止各縣官員離開縣城。當晚陰風陣陣，先父返回城外二里地，看見兩團火炬在道路兩旁引導，相隔百步。起初以為是縣吏迎接，奇怪他們為何不靠近。火炬的高低遠近沒有絲毫偏差，快到縣城時才熄滅。詢問縣吏，他們還不知道府里的公文。當時先父唸誦《金剛經》已經五六年，沒有一天間斷。相信至誠必能感動，有感應是必然的。之前的火炬引導，就是經書所顯現的跡象啊。後來叛賊的叛逆行徑逐漸暴露，朝廷下詔任命袁滋為節度使。我（段成式）再次跟隨叔父從軍，擔任左營的事務。叔父害怕受到牽連，與監軍商議，用蠟丸帛書與袁滋聯絡。事情很快敗露，所有參與者都被叛賊殺害。叛賊認為先父知道他們的陰謀，當時先父唸經，時間很久不知不覺睡著了，門戶都已關閉。忽然感覺有人開門進來，說了好幾次『不要害怕』。好像有什麼東西投到桌子上，發出爆裂的聲音。驚醒之際，聲音還在耳邊。看看左右，吏人和僕人都睡著了。點燃蠟燭四處尋找，什麼也沒看見。之前的門閂，已經打開了。

Vajra Sutra Jiu Yi
Compiled by Duan Chengshi of Linzi, Vice Minister of the Taichang Temple of the Tang Dynasty, and Ke Gu Preface
In the seventeenth year of the Zhenyuan era (801 AD), my late father went from Jingzhou (or Qizhou) to Shu, responding to the invitation of Wei Nankang (King Wei Gao of Nankang). When Wei Gao was in his later years, due to the slander and framing by rebels, my late father was appointed as the county magistrate of Lingchi County. Wei Gao soon passed away, and the rebels appointed Zhi Liuhou. My late father had always been at odds with the rebels, and upon hearing the news, he left the county overnight, arriving at the east gate of the city. The rebels quickly issued an official document prohibiting officials from leaving their counties. That night, a yin wind blew, and my late father returned two li outside the city, seeing two torches guiding the way on both sides of the road, spaced a hundred paces apart. At first, he thought it was the county officials welcoming him, and he wondered why they didn't come closer. The height and distance of the torches were consistent, and they extinguished just as he approached the county town. When he asked the county officials, they were not yet aware of the government's document. At that time, my late father had been reciting the Vajra Sutra for five or six years without interruption. He believed that sincerity would surely move, and a response was inevitable. The guiding torches were the manifestation of the sutra. Later, the rebellious actions of the rebels were gradually exposed, and the court issued an edict appointing Yuan Zi as the Jiedushi (military governor). I (Duan Chengshi) followed my uncle into the army again, serving in the Zuo Ying (Left Battalion). My uncle feared being implicated and conspired with the supervising army, using wax-sealed silk letters to communicate with Yuan Zi. The matter was quickly exposed, and all participants were killed by the rebels. The rebels believed that my late father knew of their conspiracy. At that time, my late father was reciting the sutra, and he fell asleep unknowingly after a long time, with the doors closed. Suddenly, he felt someone opening the door and entering, saying 'Do not be afraid' repeatedly. It was as if something was thrown onto the table, making a cracking sound. When he woke up in surprise, the sound was still in his ears. Looking around, the officials and servants were all asleep. He lit a candle and searched everywhere, but found nothing. The door bolt had already been opened.

左營伍伯
韋南康鎮蜀時。有左營伍伯。于西山行營。與同火卒學念金剛經。性頑初一日讒得題目。其夜堡外拾薪。為蕃騎縳去。行百餘里乃止。天未明。遂踣之於地。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 刻畫的痕跡都消失了。這個人就凌空飛走了。眾人問地藏菩薩（佛教菩薩，以救度地獄眾生為愿），剛才那位外國國王，被風吹到哪裡去了。地藏菩薩說，那位國王應當墮入無間地獄。剛才的風就是業風啊。於是帶領眾人觀看地獄，還沒到門口，就看到煙焰翻滾，聲響像風雷一樣，眾人都害怕得不敢看。臨走時，鑊湯（地獄中煮人的大鍋）濺出的泡沫滴落在左腿上，疼痛深入骨髓。地藏菩薩就派一個小吏送他回去，不許他泄露陰間的事情。等到醒來，就像做了一場夢一樣，妻子兒女圍著他哭泣，已經過了一天了。於是他變賣了家產抄寫佛經，因此請求出家。夢中被滴到的地方成了瘡，終身沒有痊癒。
僧人智燈
唐貞元（785-805）年間，荊州天崇寺的僧人智燈，經常誦持《金剛經》。遇到疾病去世。弟子摸他的手腳還熱，沒有立即放入棺木，過了七天。智燈卻活了過來，說：『起初看見陰間有像王者一樣的人，因為我念經的緣故，合掌走下臺階。因此問候我說，再容許上人您在世十年，努力了脫生死。』又問：『人間眾僧，中午以後吃薏苡仁和藥食，這大大違背了佛教的根本教義。』智燈回答說：『律中有開遮的條文，怎麼樣呢？』王者說：『這是後人加上去的，不是佛的意思啊。』現在荊州的僧眾，中午以後沒有喝藥的了。
王從貴的妹妹
公安潺陵的百姓林家的王從貴的妹妹，沒有出嫁，經常誦持《金剛經》。唐貞元（785-805）年間，忽然得了急病去世。埋葬了三天後，她的家人又去墳墓那裡，聽到墳墓中有聲音，於是挖開墳墓檢視，果然有氣，把她抬了回去。幾天後就能說話了，說：『起初到了陰間，陰間的官吏因為我誦持《金剛經》的功德，放我還陽。』王從貴擅長木工，經常在公安靈化寺建造寺廟，禪師曙中經常看見王從貴說這件事。
左營伍伯
韋南康鎮守蜀地的時候，有個左營的士兵，在西山行營，和同營的士兵一起學習唸誦《金剛經》。這個士兵天性頑劣，第一天只學會了經文的題目。當天晚上在營堡外面撿柴，被吐蕃的騎兵捆綁走了。走了一百多里才停下來。天還沒亮，就把他摔倒在地上。
【English Translation】 English version: The carved marks all disappeared. This person then flew away into the sky. Everyone asked Dizang (Ksitigarbha, a bodhisattva who vows to save all beings in hell), 'Where was that foreign king blown by the wind?' Dizang said, 'That king should fall into Avici Hell (the hell of incessant suffering). The wind just now was karma wind.' Then he led everyone to see hell. Before even reaching the gate, they saw smoke and flames rolling, and the sound was like wind and thunder. Everyone was afraid and dared not look. As they were leaving, a splash of foam from the cauldron of boiling water (a large pot for boiling people in hell) dripped onto his left thigh, and the pain penetrated his bone marrow. Dizang then ordered a minor official to send him back, forbidding him to reveal matters of the underworld. When he woke up, it was like a dream. His wife and children were weeping around him; a day had already passed. So he sold his property to copy the scriptures, and then requested to become a monk. The place where he was dripped on in the dream became a sore that never healed.
The Monk Zhideng
During the Zhenyuan (785-805) period of the Tang Dynasty, the monk Zhideng of Tianchong Temple in Jingzhou often recited the Diamond Sutra. He died of illness. His disciples felt that his hands and feet were still warm, so they did not immediately put him in a coffin, waiting for seven days. Zhideng then came back to life and said, 'At first, I saw someone in the underworld who looked like a king. Because I recited the scriptures, he clasped his hands and came down the steps. He greeted me and said, 'We will allow you to live in the world for another ten years to strive to escape from birth and death.' He also asked, 'The monks in the human world eat Job's tears and medicinal food after noon, which greatly violates the fundamental teachings of Buddhism.' Zhideng replied, 'How about the provisions for opening and closing in the Vinaya?' The king said, 'These were added by later people and are not the Buddha's intention.' Now, the monks in Jingzhou do not drink medicine after noon.
Wang Conggui's Sister
The unmarried sister of Wang Conggui, a commoner from the Lin family in Chanling, Gong'an, often recited the Diamond Sutra. During the Zhenyuan (785-805) period of the Tang Dynasty, she suddenly died of an acute illness. After being buried for three days, her family went to the grave again and heard noises from inside. So they dug up the grave and found that she was still breathing, and they carried her back. After a few days, she could speak and said, 'When I first arrived in the underworld, the officials of the underworld released me because of the merit of reciting the Diamond Sutra.' Wang Conggui was skilled in carpentry and often built temples at Linghua Temple in Gong'an. The Chan master Shuzhong often saw Wang Conggui talking about this.
Left Camp Sergeant
When Wei Nankang was garrisoning Shu, there was a sergeant in the left camp who, at the Xishan camp, learned to recite the Diamond Sutra with the soldiers in his company. This soldier was naturally stubborn and only learned the title of the sutra on the first day. That night, while gathering firewood outside the fort, he was tied up and taken away by Tubo cavalry. They traveled more than a hundred li before stopping. Before dawn, they threw him to the ground.
以發系橛。覆以駝罽。寢其上。此人惟唸經題。忽見金一鋋放光止於前。試舉首動身。所縛悉脫。遂潛起逐金鋌走。計行未得十餘里。遲明不覺已至家。家在府東市。妻兒初疑其鬼。具陳來由。到家五六日。行營將方申其逃。初韋不信。以逃日與至家日不差。始免之。
陳昭
元和初。漢州孔目典陳昭。因患病見一人著黃衣。至床前云。趙判官喚爾。昭問所因。云至自冥間。劉辟與竇懸對事。要君為證。昭即留坐逡巡。又有一人。手持一物如毬。胞前吏怪其遲。答之曰。緣此候屠行開。因笑謂昭曰。君勿懼。取生人氣。須得豬胞君可面東側臥。昭依其言。不覺已隨二吏行路甚平。可十餘里。至一城。大如府城。甲士守門焉。及入見一人怒容可駭即趙判官也。語云劉辟收東川。竇懸捕牛四十七頭。送梓州稱準辟判殺辟。又云。先無牒君為孔目典。合知事實。未及對。隔壁聞竇懸呼。陳昭好在。及問兄弟妻子存亡。昭即欲參見。冥吏云。竇使君形容極惡。不欲相見。昭乃具說殺牛實。奉劉尚書委曲非牒也。紙是麻。面見在漢州某司房架。即令吏領。昭至漢州取之。門館扄鎖。乃于節竅中出入。委曲至辟乃無言。趙語昭爾自有一過知否。竇懸所殺牛。爾取一牛頭。昭未及對。趙曰此不同人間。不可抵假。須臾見
一卒挈牛頭而至。昭即恐懼求救。趙令檢格合決。一百考五十日因謂昭曰。爾有何功德。昭即自陳。設若干人齋畫某像。趙雲。此來生緣爾。昭又言。曾於表兄家轉金剛經。趙曰。可合掌請。昭依言。有頃見黃幞箱經自天而下住昭前。昭取視。即表兄所借本也。有燒處尚在。又令合掌。其經即滅。趙曰。此足以免。便放回復令昭往一司。曰生祿檢其修短。吏報云。昭本名釗是金傍刀至某年改為昭。更得十八年。昭聞惆悵。趙笑曰。十八年大得作樂事。何不悅乎。乃令吏送昭。至半道見一馬當路。吏云。此爾本屬可乘。此即騎乃活。死已一日半矣。
僧惟恭
荊州法性寺僧惟恭。三十餘年念金剛經。日五十遍。不拘僧儀。好酒多是非。為眾僧所惡。后遇疾且死。同寺有僧靈巋。其跡類惟恭。為一寺二害。因他故出。去寺一里。逢五六人年少甚都衣服鮮潔。各執樂器。如龜茲部。問靈巋。惟恭上人何在。靈巋即語其處。疑其寺中有供也。及晚回入寺。聞鐘聲。惟恭已死。因說向來所見。其日合寺。聞絲竹聲。竟無樂人入寺。當時名僧云。惟恭蓋承經之力。生不動國。亦以其跡勉靈巋也。靈巋感悟。折節緇門。
董進朝
董進朝。元和中入軍。初在軍時。宿直城東樓上。一夕月明。忽見四人著黃。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 一個士兵拿著牛頭來了。昭立刻恐懼地求救。趙令按照法律判決。一百杖刑，五十天刑期。趙於是對昭說：『你有什麼功德？』昭立刻自己陳述，曾經為若干人設定齋飯，畫了某某佛像。趙說：『這是你來世的因緣啊。』昭又說：『曾經在表兄家誦讀《金剛經》。』趙說：『可以合掌祈請。』昭按照他的話做了。一會兒，看見一個黃色錦緞包裹的經書從天而降，停在昭的面前。昭拿來看，正是表兄所借的那本，有燒燬的地方還在。又讓他合掌，那經書就消失了。趙說：『這足以讓你免罪了。』便放了他，讓他去一個部門，叫做『生祿』，檢查他的壽命長短。官吏報告說：『昭本名叫釗（釗：金屬旁加刀），到某年改名為昭，可以再活十八年。』昭聽了很惆悵。趙笑著說：『十八年可以做很多快樂的事情，為什麼不高興呢？』於是讓官吏送昭走。走到半路，看見一匹馬擋在路上。官吏說：『這是你本來所屬的馬，可以騎。』昭騎上馬就活了，其實已經死了有一天半了。
僧人惟恭 荊州法性寺的僧人惟恭，三十多年唸誦《金剛經》，每天五十遍。不拘泥於僧人的儀軌，喜歡喝酒，多有是非，被眾僧所厭惡。後來得了疾病，快要死了。同寺有個僧人靈巋，他的行為和惟恭相似，是寺里的兩大禍害。因為其他事情離開了寺廟，離開寺廟一里路，遇到五六個年輕人，都穿著鮮艷的衣服，各自拿著樂器，像是龜茲的樂隊。問靈巋：『惟恭上人在哪裡？』靈巋就告訴了他們地方。懷疑寺里有什麼供養。等到晚上回到寺廟，聽到鐘聲，惟恭已經死了。於是說了先前所見到的情景。當天全寺的人，都聽到了絲竹的聲音，竟然沒有樂人進入寺廟。當時的名僧說：『惟恭大概是憑藉《金剛經》的力量，往生到不動國。也是用他的事蹟來勉勵靈巋啊。』靈巋感到醒悟，改變了自己的行為，認真修行。
董進朝 董進朝，元和（806-820）年間入伍當兵。剛入伍的時候，在城東樓上值夜。一天晚上月光明亮，忽然看見四個人穿著黃色的衣服。
【English Translation】 English version: A soldier arrived carrying an ox head. Zhao immediately became fearful and begged for help. Zhao Ling ordered a judgment according to the law: one hundred strokes of the cane and fifty days of imprisonment. Zhao then said to Zhao: 'What merits do you have?' Zhao immediately recounted that he had set up vegetarian meals for several people and had painted certain Buddha images. Zhao said, 'This is your karmic connection for the next life.' Zhao also said, 'I once recited the Diamond Sutra at my cousin's house.' Zhao said, 'You may join your palms and pray.' Zhao did as he was told. After a while, he saw a yellow brocade-wrapped scripture descending from the sky and stopping in front of Zhao. Zhao took it and saw that it was the very copy he had borrowed from his cousin, with the burnt spots still there. He was then told to join his palms again, and the scripture disappeared. Zhao said, 'This is enough to exempt you.' He then released him and sent him to a department called 'Life and Fortune' to check the length of his lifespan. The official reported, 'Zhao's original name was Zhao (釗: metal radical plus knife), changed to Zhao in a certain year, and he can live for another eighteen years.' Zhao heard this and was melancholy. Zhao laughed and said, 'Eighteen years is a great time to enjoy life, why are you not happy?' He then ordered the official to escort Zhao away. On the way, they saw a horse blocking the road. The official said, 'This is the horse that originally belonged to you, you can ride it.' Zhao rode the horse and came back to life, having been dead for a day and a half.
The Monk Wei Gong The monk Wei Gong of Faxing Temple in Jingzhou, recited the Diamond Sutra for more than thirty years, fifty times a day. He did not adhere to monastic rules, liked to drink alcohol, and often caused trouble, which was disliked by the monks. Later, he fell ill and was about to die. In the same temple was a monk named Ling Kui, whose behavior was similar to Wei Gong's, making them two great nuisances in the temple. Due to other matters, Ling Kui left the temple. About a mile away from the temple, he encountered five or six young people, all dressed in bright clothes, each holding musical instruments, like a Kucha (ancient kingdom in the Tarim Basin) band. They asked Ling Kui, 'Where is the Venerable Wei Gong?' Ling Kui told them where he was. He suspected that there was some offering in the temple. When he returned to the temple in the evening, he heard the sound of bells. Wei Gong had already died. He then recounted what he had seen earlier. That day, everyone in the temple heard the sound of silk and bamboo instruments, but no musicians entered the temple. A famous monk at the time said, 'Wei Gong probably relied on the power of the Diamond Sutra to be reborn in the Land of Immovable (不動國: a Buddhist land). It was also to encourage Ling Kui with his example.' Ling Kui was awakened, changed his behavior, and practiced diligently.
Dong Jin Chao Dong Jin Chao joined the army during the Yuanhe (806-820) period. When he first joined the army, he was on night duty on the tower east of the city. One night, the moon was bright, and he suddenly saw four people wearing yellow clothes.
從東來聚立城下。說己姓名。狀若追捕。因相語曰。董進朝常持金剛經。以一分功德。祝庇冥司。我輩久蒙其惠。如何殺之。須枉命相代。若此人他去。我等無所賴矣。其一人云。董進朝對門有一人。同姓同年壽限相埒。可以代矣。因忽不見。進朝驚異之。及明己聞對門復魂聲。問其故。死者父母云。子昨宵暴卒。進朝感泣。說之因為殯葬。供養其父母焉。后出家法號慧通。住興元唐安寺(初陸其志於此有疑后識者云壽限相埒則非枉命其疑乃釋)。
王沔
元和中。嚴司空綬在江陵時。涔陽鎮將王沔。常持金剛經。因使歸州勘事。回至咤灘船破。五人同溺。沔初入水。若有人授竹。一竿隨波出沒。至下牢鎮。著岸不死。視手中物。乃授持金剛經也。咤灘至下牢。三百餘里。
僧會宗

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 從東方來的人聚集在城下，說了自己的姓名，樣子像是來追捕的。他們互相說道：『董進朝經常誦持《金剛經》，用一部分功德，祝願庇護冥司。我們這些人長久以來蒙受他的恩惠，怎麼能殺他呢？必須找枉死的人來代替。如果這個人去了其他地方，我們這些人就沒有依靠了。』其中一個人說：『董進朝的對門有一個人，同姓同年，壽命也差不多，可以代替他。』說完忽然不見了。董進朝對此感到驚異。等到天亮后，他聽到對門傳出哭喪的聲音，詢問原因。死者的父母說：『我的兒子昨天晚上突然去世了。』董進朝感動哭泣，講述了事情的緣由，於是為死者辦理喪事，供養他的父母。後來他出家，法號慧通，住在興元唐安寺（起初陸其志對此事有所懷疑，後來有知情者說壽命差不多，就不是枉死，他的疑慮才消除）。
王沔
元和年間（806-820年），嚴司空綬在江陵的時候，涔陽鎮將王沔經常誦持《金剛經》。有一次他奉命前往歸州處理事務，返回時在咤灘遇到船隻破損，五個人一同落水。王沔剛入水時，感覺好像有人遞給他一根竹子，他抓住竹竿隨著波浪時隱時現，最終到達下牢鎮，靠岸沒有死。他檢視手中的東西，原來是自己誦持的《金剛經》。咤灘到下牢，有三百多里路。
僧會宗
長慶初年（821年），荊州公安的僧人會宗，俗姓蔡，經常中蠱毒而生病，身體非常虛弱。於是他發願唸誦《金剛經》，等待壽命終結，唸到五十遍的時候，白天夢見有人讓他張開嘴，從喉嚨裡拉出十幾根頭髮。晚上又夢見吐出一條大蚯蚓，有一肘長。從此他的病就好了。荊山的僧人行堅，見證了這件事。
僧法正
江陵開元寺般若院的僧人法正，每天誦持《金剛經》三七（二十一）遍。長慶初年（821年），他得病去世。到了冥司，見到一位像王者一樣的人，問他一生做了什麼功德。他回答說：『經常唸誦《金剛經》。』於是王者作揖請他登上殿堂，坐上繡花座位，唸誦《金剛經》七遍。侍衛們都雙手合十。階下正在拷打審問的人，都停止了拷打和辯論，靜靜地聽他念經。
【English Translation】 English version: People came from the east and gathered under the city, stating their names and appearing as if they were pursuing someone. They said to each other, 'Dong Jinchao constantly recites the Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedika Sutra), using a portion of his merit to bless and protect the underworld. We have long benefited from his kindness, how can we kill him? We must find someone who died unjustly to take his place. If this person goes elsewhere, we will have no one to rely on.' One of them said, 'There is a person across the street from Dong Jinchao, with the same surname and year of birth, and whose lifespan is similar, he can take his place.' After saying this, he suddenly disappeared. Dong Jinchao was surprised by this. When it dawned, he heard mourning sounds from across the street and asked the reason. The deceased's parents said, 'My son suddenly passed away last night.' Dong Jinchao was moved to tears and explained the reason for the events, so he arranged the funeral for the deceased and supported his parents. Later, he became a monk with the Dharma name Huitong, residing in Tang'an Temple in Xingyuan (Initially, Lu Qizhi had doubts about this matter, but later someone who knew the details said that since the lifespans were similar, it was not an unjust death, and his doubts were dispelled).
Wang Mian
During the Yuanhe period (806-820 AD), when Yan Sikong Shou was in Jiangling, Wang Mian, the garrison commander of Cenyang, often recited the Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedika Sutra). Once, he was sent to Guizhou to handle affairs, and on his return journey, his boat was wrecked at Zhata Tan, and five people fell into the water together. When Wang Mian first entered the water, he felt as if someone handed him a bamboo pole. He grabbed the pole and floated with the waves, eventually reaching Xia Lao Town, where he reached the shore unharmed. He examined the object in his hand and found that it was the Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedika Sutra) that he had been reciting. Zhata Tan to Xia Lao is more than three hundred li.
Monk Huizong
In the early Changqing period (821 AD), the monk Huizong of Gong'an in Jingzhou, whose surname was Cai, often suffered from gu poisoning and became very weak. So he vowed to recite the Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedika Sutra), waiting for the end of his life. When he had recited it fifty times, he dreamed during the day that someone told him to open his mouth, and pulled out more than a dozen strands of hair from his throat. At night, he dreamed of spitting out a large earthworm, one zhou long. From then on, his illness was cured. The monk Xingjian of Jing Mountain witnessed this event.
Monk Fazheng
The monk Fazheng of the Prajna Courtyard of Kaiyuan Temple in Jiangling, recited the Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedika Sutra) three times seven (twenty-one) times a day. In the early Changqing period (821 AD), he fell ill and died. When he arrived in the underworld, he saw someone like a king, who asked him what merits he had accumulated in his life. He replied, 'I often recite the Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedika Sutra).' So the king bowed and invited him to ascend the hall and sit on an embroidered seat, reciting the Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedika Sutra) seven times. The guards all put their palms together. Those who were being tortured and interrogated below the steps stopped their torture and arguments, and listened quietly to his recitation.
畢。后遣一吏引還。王下階送云。上人更得三十年在人間。勿廢讀誦。因隨吏行數十里。至一大坑。吏因臨坑自後推之。若隕空焉。死已七日。唯面不冷。法正今尚在。年八十餘。荊州僧常靖。親見其事。
沙彌道蔭
石首縣有沙彌道蔭。常持念金剛經。寶曆初。(廣記云長慶)因他出夜歸。中路忽遇虎。吼擲而前。沙彌知不免。乃閉目而坐。但默唸經。心期救護。虎遂伏草守之及曙村人來往。虎乃去。視其蹲處。涎流於地。
王忠干
元和三年。賊李同捷阻兵滄。景帝命劉祐統齊德軍討之。初圍德州城。城堅不㧞。翌日又攻之。自卯至未。十傷八九。竟不能拔。時有齊州衙內八將官健兒王忠干。博野人。常念金剛經。積二十餘年。日數不闕。其日忠幹上飛梯。將及堞身。中箭如猬。為櫑木擊落。同火卒曳出。羊馬城外接之。水濠里岸。祐以暮夜命抽軍其時城下矢落如雨。同火人匇忙。忘取忠乾屍。忠干既死。如夢至荒野。遇大河欲渡無因。仰天大哭。忽聞人語聲。忠干見一人長丈餘。疑其神人。因求指營路。其人云。爾莫怕我。令爾得渡此河。忠干拜之。頭低未舉。神人把腰擲之空中。久方著地。忽如夢覺。聞賊城上交二更。初不記過水。亦不知瘡。抬手捫面。血涂眉睫。方知傷損。乃舉
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：畢（人名，此處指一位僧人）。後來（國王）派一個官吏帶他回去。國王走下臺階送別，說：『上人還能在人間再活三十年，不要荒廢了讀經。』於是（畢）跟隨官吏走了幾十里，到一個大坑邊。官吏趁（畢）走到坑邊，從背後推他下去，好像掉進了空中一樣。死後已經七天，只有面部還未冷卻。法正現在還活著，八十多歲了。荊州僧人常靖，親自見過這件事。
沙彌道蔭（人名，小乘佛教出家男子）
石首縣有個沙彌道蔭，經常持誦《金剛經》（Vajra-chedika-sūtra）。寶曆初年（825年）（《廣記》說是長慶年間），因為有事外出，晚上回家。半路上忽然遇到老虎，吼叫著撲過來。沙彌知道無法倖免，就閉上眼睛坐下，只是默默唸經，心中期望（佛菩薩）救護。老虎於是趴在草叢裡守著他，等到天亮村裡有人來往，老虎才離開。看老虎蹲的地方，口水流了一地。
王忠干（人名）
元和三年（808年），叛賊李同捷在滄州起兵反叛，景帝（皇帝謚號）命令劉祐統領齊德軍討伐他。開始包圍德州城，城墻堅固無法攻克。第二天又攻城，從卯時到未時，士兵傷亡十分之八九，最終還是不能攻下。當時有個齊州衙內的八將官健兒王忠干，博野人，經常唸誦《金剛經》，積累了二十多年，每天都不間斷。那天王忠干登上飛梯，將要到達城墻垛口時，中箭像刺猬一樣，被櫑木（一種木製武器）擊落，被同夥的士兵拖出來，放在羊馬城外的水濠邊。劉祐因為天色已晚，命令撤軍，當時城下箭如雨下，同夥的士兵匆忙，忘記拿走王忠乾的屍體。王忠乾死后，好像做夢一樣到了荒野，遇到一條大河想要渡過卻沒有辦法，仰天大哭。忽然聽到人說話的聲音，王忠干看見一個人身高一丈多，懷疑是神人，於是請求指點道路。那人說：『你不要怕我，我讓你能夠渡過這條河。』王忠干拜謝他，頭還沒抬起來，神人抓住他的腰把他扔到空中，過了很久才落到地上。忽然像夢醒了一樣，聽到賊城上打二更的聲音。起初不記得過河的事情，也不知道傷口在哪裡，抬手摸臉，血塗滿了眉毛和眼睫毛，才知道受了傷，於是舉
【English Translation】 English version: Bi (name of a monk). Later, (the king) sent an official to escort him back. The king descended the steps to see him off, saying, 'May you, venerable one, live another thirty years in this world, and do not neglect your chanting.' Thereupon, (Bi) followed the official for several dozen li, to the edge of a large pit. The official, taking advantage of (Bi)'s proximity to the pit, pushed him from behind, as if he had fallen into empty space. Seven days had passed since his death, and only his face remained uncooled. Fa Zheng is still alive today, over eighty years old. The Jingzhou monk Chang Jing personally witnessed this event.
Shami Daoyin (name of a novice monk)
In Shishou County, there was a novice monk named Daoyin, who constantly recited the Vajra-chedika-sūtra (Diamond Sutra). In the early years of Baoli (825 AD) (Guangji says it was during the Changqing era), he was out on business and returned home at night. On the way, he suddenly encountered a tiger, which roared and pounced forward. The novice monk, knowing that he could not escape, closed his eyes and sat down, silently reciting the sutra, hoping for (Buddha's) protection. The tiger then lay in the grass, guarding him until dawn when villagers came and went, and the tiger left. Looking at the place where it had crouched, saliva was flowing on the ground.
Wang Zhonggan (name of a person)
In the third year of Yuanhe (808 AD), the rebel Li Tongjie raised troops in Cangzhou, and Emperor Jing (posthumous title of the emperor) ordered Liu You to lead the Qide army to suppress him. They began by besieging the city of Dezhou, but the city walls were strong and could not be breached. The next day, they attacked the city again, from Mao time to Wei time, with eight or nine out of ten soldiers wounded or killed, but they still could not capture it. At that time, there was a brave soldier named Wang Zhonggan, from Boye, one of the eight generals of the Qizhou government, who constantly recited the Vajra-chedika-sūtra (Diamond Sutra) for more than twenty years, without missing a day. On that day, Wang Zhonggan climbed a scaling ladder, and as he was about to reach the battlements, he was struck by arrows like a hedgehog, and knocked down by a lei wood (a type of wooden weapon). He was dragged out by fellow soldiers and placed outside the sheep and horse city, by the moat. Liu You, seeing that it was late, ordered a retreat. At that time, arrows were falling like rain under the city, and the fellow soldiers were in a hurry and forgot to take Wang Zhonggan's body. After Wang Zhonggan died, he dreamed that he was in a wilderness, and encountered a large river that he wanted to cross but could not. He looked up to the sky and cried loudly. Suddenly, he heard a voice, and Wang Zhonggan saw a person more than ten feet tall, whom he suspected was a deity, so he asked for directions. The person said, 'Do not be afraid of me, I will let you cross this river.' Wang Zhonggan thanked him, but before he could raise his head, the deity grabbed his waist and threw him into the air, and after a long time, he landed on the ground. Suddenly, he woke up as if from a dream, and heard the sound of the second watch from the rebel city. At first, he did not remember crossing the river, nor did he know where his wounds were. He raised his hand to touch his face, and his eyebrows and eyelashes were covered in blood, and he realized that he was injured, so he raised
身強行。百餘步卻倒。復見向人持刀叱曰。起起忠干。驚懼遂走一里餘。坐歇方聞本軍喝號聲。遂及本營。訪同火卒。方知身死在水濠里。即夢中所過河也。忠干見在齊德軍。

高涉
太和七年冬。給事中李公石。為太原行軍司馬。孔目官高涉因宿使院。至鼕鼕鼓起時。詣鄰房。忽遇一人長六尺餘。呼曰。行軍喚爾。涉遂行。行梢遲。其人自後拓之。不覺向北約行數十里。至野外漸入一谷底。後上一山。至頂四望。邑屋盡眼下至。一曹司所追者呼云。追高涉。到其中。人多衣朱綠。當案者。似崔行信郎中判云。付司對。復引出至一處。數百人露坐與豬羊雜處。領至一人前。乃涉妹婿杜則也。逆謂涉曰。君初得書乎時。作新人局。遣某買羊四口記得否。今被相債。備嘗苦毒
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 判決釋放，並允許他回家與妻子團聚，（他的妻子）說：『某天我聽到你經書箱中傳來幾聲爆裂聲，非常害怕不敢打開。』安某於是趕去檢視，發現（經書）的帶子斷了，軸也折了，紙張全部破裂。安某現在還在（人世）。
王翰
唐太和五年（831年），漢州什邡縣的百姓王翰，經常在市場上做些小買賣，忽然暴病身亡。過了三天，卻又活了過來，說：『陰間有十六個人，一同被抓，十五個人被分派到其他地方。只有我王翰被帶到一個官署，見到一個身穿青衫的少年，自稱是我的侄子，在陰間做辦事員。』於是引薦給推典，（推典）又說，『這是我的哥哥的相貌』，但（王翰）都覺得不像。他的哥哥說：『有一頭冤枉的牛控告你，因為你燒荒時枉自燒死了它。』又說：『你曾經把竹子賣給殺狗的人做箜篌，（那人）殺了（總共）兩條狗，狗也控告你。你現在名字還沒有登記在死亡名冊上，還可以免罪。你打算做什麼功德？』王翰想設齋飯以及抄寫法華經、金光明經，（他的哥哥）都說不行。於是（王翰）請求說：『持誦金剛經每天七遍給它們。』他的哥哥高興地說：『足夠了。』等到活過來后，王翰就捨棄家業出家了，現在在什邡縣。
高涉
唐太和七年（833年）冬天，給事中李公石擔任太原行軍司馬，孔目官高涉因為住在使院裡，到了咚咚敲鼓的時候，去拜訪鄰居房間。忽然遇到一個人，身高六尺多，喊道：『行軍叫你。』高涉於是跟著走。因為走得慢，那個人從後面推他，不知不覺向北走了大約幾十里，到了野外，漸漸進入一個山谷底部，然後上了一座山。到了山頂，向四周望去，城邑房屋都在眼下。一個曹司的人追趕著喊道：『追高涉。』到了（曹司）裡面，很多人穿著紅色和綠色的衣服。當案的人，像是崔行信郎中，判決說：『交給司里對質。』又被帶到一個地方，幾百人露天坐著，和豬羊混雜在一起。被帶到一個人面前，是高涉的妹夫杜則。杜則迎面責備高涉說：『你當初得到書信的時候，舉辦新婚宴席，派我買四隻羊，記得嗎？現在我被它們追討債務，嚐盡了苦頭。』
【English Translation】 English version: The judgment was to release him and allow him to return to his wife, who said, 'One day I heard several cracking sounds from your scripture box, and I was so afraid that I didn't dare to open it.' An then rushed to check and found that the strap was broken, the axle was broken, and the paper was completely torn. An is still alive now.
Wang Han
In the fifth year of the Taihe reign (831 AD) of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Han, a commoner from Shifang County, Hanzhou, often made small profits in the market. He suddenly died of illness. After three days, he came back to life and said, 'There were sixteen people in the underworld who were arrested together, and fifteen of them were assigned to other places. Only I, Wang Han, was taken to an office, where I saw a young man in a green shirt who claimed to be my nephew and worked as a clerk in the underworld.' So he introduced me to the Tuidian (an official title), who said, 'He looks like my elder brother,' but Wang Han didn't think so. His elder brother said, 'There is a wronged ox suing you because you burned it to death when you were burning wasteland.' He also said, 'You once sold bamboo to a dog butcher to make a Konghou (a type of stringed instrument), and he killed two dogs, and the dogs are also suing you. Your name is not yet on the death register, so you can still be spared. What merits do you plan to do?' Wang Han wanted to hold a vegetarian feast and transcribe the Lotus Sutra and the Golden Light Sutra, but his brother said no. So Wang Han asked, 'I will recite the Diamond Sutra seven times a day for them.' His brother happily said, 'That's enough.' After he came back to life, Wang Han abandoned his family business and became a monk, and is now in Shifang County.
Gao She
In the winter of the seventh year of the Taihe reign (833 AD) of the Tang Dynasty, Li Gongshi, a Geshishizhong (official title), served as the Xingjun Sima (military administrator) of Taiyuan. Gao She, a Kongmu Guan (clerk), stayed in the envoy's courtyard. When the drums sounded at dusk, he went to visit the neighboring room. Suddenly, he met a man who was more than six feet tall, who shouted, 'The Xingjun (military administrator) is calling for you.' Gao She followed him. Because he walked slowly, the man pushed him from behind. Unknowingly, he walked about dozens of miles north, into a valley in the wilderness, and then climbed a mountain. When he reached the top of the mountain, he looked around and saw that the cities and houses were all below him. A person from a Cao Si (office) chased after him, shouting, 'Chase Gao She.' When he arrived inside the Cao Si, many people were wearing red and green clothes. The person in charge of the case, who looked like Cui Hangxin, a Langzhong (official title), judged, 'Hand him over to the Si for confrontation.' He was then taken to a place where hundreds of people were sitting in the open air, mixed with pigs and sheep. He was taken to a person who was Du Ze, Gao She's brother-in-law. Du Ze confronted Gao She and said, 'Do you remember when you received the letter and held a wedding banquet, you sent me to buy four sheep? Now I am being chased by them for debts and have suffered all kinds of hardships.'
。涉遽云。爾時祇使市肉非羊也。則遂無言。因見羊人立嚙則逡巡。被領他去。倏忽又見一處。露架方梁。樑上釘大鐵環。有數百人。皆持刀以繩。系人頭。牽入環中。刳剔之。涉懼走出。但念金剛經。倏忽逢舊相識楊演云。李說尚書時。杖殺賊李英道。為劫賊事已。于諸處受生三十年。今卻訴前事。君常記得否。涉辭以年幼不省。又遇舊典段怡先與涉為義兄弟。逢涉云。先念金剛經莫廢忘否。向來所見。未是極苦處。勉樹善業。今得還。乃經之力。因送至家。如夢。死已經宿。向所拓處。數日青腫。
豐州烽子
永泰初。豐州烽子。暮出為黨項縛。入西蕃易馬。蕃將令穴肩骨。貫以皮索。以馬數百蹄配之。經半歲。馬息一倍蕃。將賞以羊革數百。因轉近牙帳贊普子愛其了事。遂令執纛左右有剩肉余酪與之。又居半年。因與酪肉悲泣不食。贊普問之云。有老母。頻夜夢見贊普頗仁。聞之悵然。夜召帳中語云。蕃法嚴無放還。例我與爾馬有力者兩匹。于某道縱爾歸無言我也。烽子得馬極騁俱乏死。遂晝潛夜走。數日後。為刺傷足倒磧中。忽有風吹物。窸窣過其前。因攬之褁足。有頃不復痛。試起步走如故。經信宿方。及豐州界。歸家母尚存。悲喜曰。自失爾。我唯念金剛經。寢食不廢。以祈見爾。今果其誓
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 涉遽云：『當時只用市場上賣的肉，並非羊肉。』那人便無話可說。後來涉看到一個賣羊肉的人正在啃羊肉，便猶豫不前，被人帶走了。忽然又看到一處，有露天的架子和方木樑，樑上釘著大鐵環，有數百人，都拿著刀和繩子，繫著人的頭，牽入鐵環中，剖開剔肉。涉害怕地跑了出來，只是唸誦《金剛經》。忽然遇到舊相識楊演云，說李說尚書在世時，用棍子打死了賊人李英道，因為他搶劫的事情已經了結。在各處受生三十年，現在卻來訴說以前的事情，你還記得嗎？涉推辭說自己年幼不記得了。又遇到舊時的典獄官段怡，段怡曾和涉結為義兄弟，他見到涉說：『先前唸誦《金剛經》沒有廢忘吧？』『向來所見，還不是最苦的地方，努力種下善業。現在能夠回來，都是經書的力量。』於是送涉回到家中。如同做夢一般，涉已經死了整整一夜，先前被拖拽的地方，數日都青腫。
豐州烽子
永泰（742-743）初年，豐州的烽火兵，傍晚出去被吐蕃的黨項人抓獲，帶到西蕃去換馬。吐蕃將領命令人在他的肩胛骨上打洞，用皮索穿過，然後給他配了幾百匹馬。過了半年，馬繁殖了一倍，吐蕃將領賞賜給他幾百張羊皮。後來他被調到靠近牙帳的地方，贊普的兒子喜歡他辦事利索，就讓他拿著旗幟，左右侍奉，並給他剩下的肉和奶酪吃。又過了半年，他因為吃著奶酪和肉而悲傷哭泣，不肯吃。贊普問他原因，他說：『我有老母親，經常在夜裡夢見贊普頗仁。』贊普聽了悵然若失，夜裡召集帳中人說：『吐蕃的法律很嚴格，不能放他回去。我破例給他兩匹有力的馬，在某條路上放他走，我也不追究。』烽火兵得到馬後，拚命地跑，兩匹馬都累死了。於是他白天躲藏，夜裡趕路。幾天後，被刺傷了腳，倒在沙漠中。忽然有風吹來東西，窸窸窣窣地從他面前經過，他就抓住裹住腳，一會兒就不疼了，試著站起來走，和原來一樣。過了兩夜，才到達豐州的邊界。回到家時，母親還活著，悲喜交加地說：『自從失去了你，我只是念誦《金剛經》，睡覺吃飯都不停止，祈求能見到你，現在果然實現了我的誓願。』
English version: She Ju said, 'At that time, only the meat sold in the market was used, not mutton.' Then that person had nothing to say. Later, She saw a mutton seller gnawing on mutton, and hesitated, and was taken away. Suddenly, he saw another place with an open-air frame and square wooden beams. Large iron rings were nailed on the beams. There were hundreds of people, all holding knives and ropes, tying people's heads and pulling them into the iron rings to cut them open and remove the meat. She ran out in fear, only reciting the Vajra Sutra (Jin Gang Jing). Suddenly, he met an old acquaintance, Yang Yan, who said that when Li Shuo, the Minister, was alive, he beat the thief Li Yingdao to death with a stick because his robbery had been settled. He has been reborn in various places for thirty years, but now he is suing about the past. Do you remember? She declined, saying that he was too young to remember. He also met the old prison officer Duan Yi, who had become sworn brothers with She. Duan Yi met She and said, 'Have you not forgotten to recite the Vajra Sutra (Jin Gang Jing)?' 'What you have seen before is not the most bitter place. Strive to plant good karma. Now you can come back, all thanks to the power of the scriptures.' So he sent She back home. It was like a dream. She had been dead for a whole night, and the place where he had been dragged was bruised for several days.
The Beacon Soldier of Fengzhou
In the early years of Yongtai (742-743), a beacon soldier from Fengzhou was captured by the Dangxiang people of Tubo in the evening and taken to Xifan to exchange for horses. The Tubo general ordered people to drill holes in his shoulder blades, pass leather ropes through them, and then equip him with hundreds of horses. After half a year, the horses had doubled in number, and the Tubo general rewarded him with hundreds of sheepskins. Later, he was transferred to a place near the Yaya tent. The son of the Zanpu liked his efficiency, so he had him hold the flag and serve on the left and right, and gave him the remaining meat and cheese to eat. After another half a year, he was sad and wept while eating cheese and meat, and refused to eat. The Zanpu asked him why, and he said, 'I have an old mother who often dreams of Zanpu Poren at night.' The Zanpu was lost in thought when he heard this, and summoned the people in the tent at night and said, 'The laws of Tubo are very strict and he cannot be released. I will make an exception and give him two strong horses and let him go on a certain road, and I will not pursue it.' After the beacon soldier got the horses, he ran desperately, and both horses died of exhaustion. So he hid during the day and traveled at night. A few days later, he was stabbed in the foot and fell in the desert. Suddenly, something was blown by the wind and rustled past him. He grabbed it and wrapped it around his foot. After a while, it didn't hurt anymore. He tried to stand up and walk as before. After two nights, he reached the border of Fengzhou. When he returned home, his mother was still alive, and she said with mixed feelings of grief and joy, 'Since I lost you, I have only recited the Vajra Sutra (Jin Gang Jing), without stopping while sleeping or eating, praying to see you. Now my vow has indeed been fulfilled.'

A few days later, he was stabbed in the foot and fell in the desert. Suddenly, something was blown by the wind and rustled past him. He grabbed it and wrapped it around his foot. After a while, it didn't hurt anymore. He tried to stand up and walk as before. After two nights, he reached the border of Fengzhou. When he returned home, his mother was still alive, and she said with mixed feelings of grief and joy, 'Since I lost you, I have only recited the Vajra Sutra (Jin Gang Jing), without stopping while sleeping or eating, praying to see you. Now my vow has indeed been fulfilled.'
因。取經拜之。縫斷亡數幅。不知其由。子因道磧中傷足事。毋令解足視之。所褁瘡物。乃數幅經也。其瘡亦愈。
王孝廉
大曆中。太原偷馬賊誣一王孝廉同情。拷掠旬日。苦極強服。推吏疑其冤。未即具獄。其人惟念金剛經。其聲哀切。晝夜不息。忽一日有竹。兩節墜獄中。轉至於(廣記作止其)前。他囚爭取之。獄卒意藏刃。破視內。有字兩行。云法尚應舍何況非法。書跡甚工。賊首悲悔。具承以匿嫌誣之(廣記作舊嫌)。
金剛經鳩異(終)
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 因。取經人拜訪了他。發現縫補的經書斷裂缺失了好幾幅，不知道是什麼原因。取經人因為想起在沙漠中腳受傷的事情，沒有讓他解開腳上的包裹檢視。包裹傷口的，原來是好幾幅經書。他的瘡也因此痊癒了。
王孝廉
大曆年間（766-779年），太原的偷馬賊誣陷一位名叫王孝廉的人是同夥，拷打了他十幾天。王孝廉痛苦至極，被迫承認。負責審理的官吏懷疑其中有冤情，沒有立刻定案。王孝廉只能唸誦《金剛經》，聲音哀切，日夜不停。忽然有一天，有一節竹子，兩節長，掉落在監獄中，滾到他面前。其他囚犯爭搶竹子，獄卒懷疑裡面藏有刀刃，劈開一看，裡面有兩行字，寫著『法尚應舍，何況非法』。字跡非常工整。賊首感到悲傷後悔，全部承認是因為舊的嫌隙而誣陷了他。
《金剛經》靈驗事蹟（完）
【English Translation】 English version Cause: A scripture seeker visited him. He noticed that several stitched scripture fragments were torn and missing, and he didn't know why. The scripture seeker, recalling his foot injury in the desert, didn't ask him to unwrap his foot. What was wrapped around the wound turned out to be several scripture fragments. His wound also healed as a result.
Wang Xiaolian
During the Dali period (766-779 AD), a horse thief in Taiyuan falsely accused a man named Wang Xiaolian of being an accomplice, torturing him for over ten days. Wang Xiaolian, in extreme pain, was forced to confess. The official in charge of the case suspected a miscarriage of justice and didn't immediately finalize the verdict. Wang Xiaolian could only recite the Diamond Sutra (Jin Gang Jing), his voice sorrowful, day and night without ceasing. Suddenly, one day, a bamboo section, two segments long, fell into the prison and rolled to his feet. Other prisoners scrambled for the bamboo. The jailer, suspecting a hidden blade, split it open and found two lines of writing inside, which read, 'Even the Dharma should be relinquished, how much more so the non-Dharma.' The calligraphy was very skillful. The thief leader felt sorrow and remorse, confessing that he had falsely accused him due to an old grudge.
