The Miraculous Responses to the Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra Dharma Master Yan During the Tianjian period of the Liang Dynasty (502-519 AD), there was a Dharma Master Yan who resided in Zhaoti Temple in Chang'an. At the age of eleven, he became a monk. One day, he went with the monks in the temple to seek divination. At the fortune teller's house, they divined in order. When it came to Yan, the fortune teller said, 'It's a pity for his intelligence, but his life is short. He will only live to eighteen.' Yan was unhappy to hear this. After returning to the temple, he vowed to personally go to the scripture hall, burn incense and prostrate himself before the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), vowing to cultivate and begging for a scripture to uphold for life. After praying, he randomly drew a scripture from the scripture box, which was the 'Diamond Prajna Sutra'. So he devoted himself to upholding it, day and night. One day at night, when it was late, he saw five-colored light in the room. After a while, he saw a Brahmin monk (Indian monk), about fifteen feet tall, who said to Yan, 'Your life is limited to eighteen years, and you will surely die young. Now, because of the power of upholding the Mahayana scripture, you can extend your life.' After saying that, he disappeared. Because of this verification, he became more diligent. After the age of nineteen, one day he visited the fortune teller, who said in surprise, 'I once said that your life would surely be short, but I didn't expect to meet you again today. What good deeds have you practiced that your premature death has been eliminated and your life has been extended?' Yan said, 'I have been devoted to upholding the 'Diamond Prajna Sutra'.' The fortune teller kowtowed and said, 'We are in the world of dust and do not know...'
佛法之功德有此殊異。觀師此去。壽至九十二矣。後果應相師之言。終於招提寺。(出感應記)。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：佛法的功德就是如此殊勝奇異。觀看這位法師此去，壽命能到九十二歲啊。後來果然應驗了相士所說的話，最終圓寂于招提寺。（出自《感應記》）。
荀氏
隋朝（581年-618年）時，益州新繁縣西王李村，有位名叫荀氏的居士，隱姓埋名，不為人知。她曾經在村東的空地上，遙望天空，用手書寫《金剛般若經》（Vajra Prajna Sutra）。於是感得諸天龍神覆蓋守護。每當遇到下雨，這塊地方都不會被打濕，大約有一丈左右，像屋頂覆蓋一樣。每逢下雨，牧童和小孩都會到這裡避雨。到了唐朝武德年間（618年-626年），有僧人告訴村裡人說，這塊地方向來有人在這裡書寫佛經，才會有諸天設下寶蓋在上覆蓋守護。千萬不可以讓人踐踏。之後設定欄桿圍繞，供養佛像。每逢齋戒日，聚集遠近的善友，誦經修善。常常能聽到天樂，聲音震動一方，於是這裡成爲了吉祥之地。
法藏
沙門法藏，是隋朝（581年-618年）時的人。居住在鄜州寶室寺。天性淳樸古拙，修行精進勤奮。曾經在開皇年間（581年-600年），在本州洛州縣建造寺廟。曾經將自己的衣缽變賣，用來建造殿宇兩處。又抄寫佛經八百多卷。到了唐朝武德二年（619年）二月中，偶然染上疾病。昏睡中，忽然看見金剛神（Vajra deity），手裡拿著一卷經書，對法藏說，你建造寺廟抄寫佛經，有互相挪用的罪過。我現在授予你《金剛般若經》（Vajra Prajna Sutra）一卷，你如果至誠用心能夠抄寫此經一卷，流通讀誦，挪用的罪過，全部都會消滅。說完就不見了。不久疾病痊癒。之後傾盡變賣衣物的錢財，書寫此經一百卷。終身受持，修習各種善行，不涉及世俗的因緣。壽命達到九十九歲。那年正月十五日，延請大眾觀看唸誦《妙法蓮華經》（Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra）一七卷，《金剛般若波羅蜜經》（Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra）一七卷。升座端坐，索要筆墨書寫偈子，與大眾告別。
【English Translation】 English version: The merit of the Buddha's Dharma is so unique and extraordinary. Observing this master's departure, his lifespan will reach ninety-two years. Later, it indeed corresponded to the words of the physiognomist, and he finally passed away at Zhaoti Temple. (From 'Records of Miraculous Responses').
Xun Shi
During the Sui Dynasty (581-618 AD), in Xiwang Li Village, Xinfan County, Yizhou, there lived a laywoman named Xun Shi, who kept a low profile and was unknown to people. She once stood in an open space east of the village, gazing at the sky, and wrote the 'Vajra Prajna Sutra' (Vajra Prajna Sutra) by hand. Consequently, she moved the gods and dragons to cover and protect her. Whenever it rained, this area would not get wet, about a zhang in size, like a roof covering it. Whenever it rained, shepherds and children would take shelter here. During the Wude era of the Tang Dynasty (618-626 AD), a monk told the villagers that someone had been writing scriptures here, which caused the gods to set up a precious canopy to cover and protect it. It must not be trampled upon. Afterwards, set up railings around it and make offerings to Buddha statues. On fasting days, gather good friends from near and far to recite scriptures and cultivate goodness. Heavenly music was often heard, and the sound shook the area, so this place became an auspicious place.
Fazang
The Shramana Fazang was a person of the Sui Dynasty (581-618 AD). He lived in Baoshi Temple in Fuzhou. He was simple and honest by nature, and diligent in his practice. During the Kaihuang era (581-600 AD), he built temples in Luozhou County of this state. He once sold his own robes and alms bowl to build two halls. He also transcribed more than eight hundred volumes of scriptures. In the second month of the second year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (619 AD), he suddenly contracted an illness. In a coma, he suddenly saw a Vajra deity (Vajra deity), holding a volume of scriptures in his hand, who said to Fazang, 'You have the sin of misappropriation in building temples and transcribing scriptures. I will now give you a volume of the 'Vajra Prajna Sutra' (Vajra Prajna Sutra). If you can sincerely transcribe this sutra and circulate and recite it, the sin of misappropriation will be completely eliminated.' After saying that, he disappeared. Soon after, the illness was cured. Afterwards, he sold all his belongings and transcribed this sutra one hundred times. He upheld it throughout his life, cultivated all kinds of good deeds, and did not involve himself in worldly affairs. He lived to the age of ninety-nine. On the fifteenth day of the first month of that year, he invited the public to watch and recite the 'Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra' (Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra) in seven volumes, and the 'Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra' (Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra) in seven volumes. He ascended the seat and sat upright, asking for pen and ink to write a verse, bidding farewell to the public.
。俄然化去。一時緇素。咸睹 阿彌陀佛化身。接引往生西方極樂世界。九品花池托質矣。頌曰 今年九十九看看無所有更莫問如何虛空打筋斗。
陸彥通(陸報應記作睦)
隋人陸彥通。日誦金剛經十卷。李密盜起。時彥通宰武牢。邑人慾殺之。以應義旗。城上有賊。持劍趕殺彥通。前有一深澗。賊逼近。躍入其澗。空中見金剛神。以手指令一人接彥通臂。置石上。都無損傷。神人曰。汝持經有感。故特來相救。因得保全還家。神所接之臂。異香數日不散。后位至方伯。年八十餘。一日無疾。索筆書偈。香湯沐浴。端坐而逝。偈曰 八十九年在世隨身做些活計今日撒手便行明月清風自在。

A thief on the city wall, holding a sword, chased and killed Lu Yantong. Ahead was a deep ravine. As the thief approached, Lu Yantong jumped into the ravine. In the air, he saw a Vajra deity, who pointed to a person to catch Lu Yantong's arm and place him on a rock, without any injury.

The arm that the deity had touched emitted a strange fragrance for several days. Later, he rose to the position of Fang Bo (a high-ranking official).

唐龍朔元年。洛川景德寺比丘尼房。有女使任五娘。死已。乞靈座供養。經月餘。其弟妹每夜聽得靈座有呻吟之聲。初甚恐。因焚香問之。靈即答曰。我在生不合犯五重罪。一不合在房非為。二好食牛肉。三作踐五穀。四澆潑羹湯
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 僧護。方年五歲。問母親為何悲傷哭泣。母親將緣由告訴了他。僧護立即回答母親說：『為何不將我賣掉，用來救父親？』於是哽咽著抱著兒子到市場，賣給蜀地的商人，得到兩貫錢。與兒子分離，內心痛苦萬分。於是請僧人抄寫《金剛經》七卷，對著三寶（佛、法、僧）虔誠祈禱祝願。一愿丈夫李力昌憑藉抄經的功德，化解冤屈。二愿母子能夠再次相見。自從分別之後，因為思念兒子而雙目失明，但每日誦唸《金剛經》，在市場上乞討。他的兒子跟隨商人前往蜀地，一去三十年。繼父母都去世了。忽然思念親生母親，當年母親賣掉自己抄經超度父親，至今不知母親是否健在。於是收拾家產，再次回到江陵尋找母親。未能立即找到，便買了一處宅子暫時居住。忽然遇到節日的臘祭祭祀祖先，便向參加齋會的幾位老婦人乞討，老婦人來時誦讀《金剛經》一卷，乞討的目的是爲了迴向功德。僧護說：『我幼年喪父，我的母親將我賣身超度父親，如今我得以回到家鄉，尋找母親卻不見蹤影，愿我的父母都能得到超度昇天。』其中一位婆婆便叫道：『郎君，我就是你的母親。你五歲的時候，我賣掉你抄經超度你的父親，還有賣身契在我住處的籃子里。』僧護索要賣身契讀後，悲喜交加。焚香拜告三寶（佛、法、僧）、天地神祇，如今得以母子相見。因為母親雙目失明，不能看見兒子，於是取水漱口，面對天地，用舌頭舔母親的眼睛，左右眼都恢復了光明。於是母子得以團圓，應驗了當年的祈禱。觀看的人沒有不感嘆的。

唐龍朔元年（661年），洛川景德寺的比丘尼房間里，有一個女使名叫任五娘。死後，人們為她設定靈座供養。經過一個多月，她的弟妹們每夜都聽到靈座發出淫穢的聲音。起初非常害怕，於是焚香詢問。靈體回答說：『我在生前不應該犯下五重罪過。一不應該在房間里做不正當的事。二喜歡吃牛肉。三糟蹋五穀。四傾倒羹湯。
【English Translation】 English version Seng Hu, only five years old, asked his mother why she was crying so sadly. His mother told him the reason. Seng Hu immediately replied to his mother, 'Why don't you sell me to save father?' So, sobbing, she took her son to the market and sold him to a merchant from Shu, obtaining two strings of cash. Separated from her son, her heart was filled with pain. Thereupon, she asked a monk to transcribe seven rolls of the Diamond Sutra, and prayed earnestly before the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). First, she wished that her husband, Li Lichang, could resolve his grievances through the merit of transcribing the sutra. Second, she wished that mother and son could meet again. Since their separation, she had gone blind from missing her son, but she recited the Diamond Sutra every day, begging in the market. Her son followed the merchant to Shu, and thirty years passed. Both his adoptive parents had died. Suddenly, he missed his birth mother, who had sold him to transcribe the sutra for his father. He still did not know if she was alive or dead. So, he gathered his family wealth and returned to Jiangling to look for his mother. Unable to find her immediately, he bought a house to live in temporarily. Suddenly, he encountered the Laba Festival, a festival for ancestral sacrifices, and begged from several old women attending the vegetarian feast. The old women recited a roll of the Diamond Sutra when they came, intending to dedicate the merit. Seng Hu said, 'I lost my father when I was young, and my mother sold me to dedicate merit to my father. Now I have returned to my hometown, but I cannot find my mother. I wish that both my parents could be reborn in a better realm.' One of the old women then called out, 'Young man, I am your mother. When you were five years old, I sold you to transcribe the sutra for your father. The sales contract is in a basket in my house.' Seng Hu asked for the contract and read it, filled with mixed emotions of sorrow and joy. He burned incense and prayed to the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), Heaven and Earth, and the deities, that he could now meet his mother. Because his mother was blind and could not see her son, he rinsed his mouth with water and, facing Heaven and Earth, licked his mother's eyes, and both eyes regained their sight. Thus, mother and son were reunited, fulfilling the prayers of that year. All who witnessed this were filled with admiration.
Ren Wu Niang
In the first year of Longshuo (661 AD) of the Tang Dynasty, in the room of a Bhikkhuni at Jingde Temple in Luochuan, there was a maid named Ren Wu Niang. After her death, people set up a spirit seat to make offerings to her. After more than a month, her younger siblings heard lewd sounds coming from the spirit seat every night. At first, they were very afraid, so they burned incense and asked. The spirit replied, 'In my lifetime, I should not have committed five serious offenses. First, I should not have engaged in improper behavior in the room. Second, I liked to eat beef. Third, I wasted grains. Fourth, I poured out soup.'

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：五、殺害眾多生命。又將活魚做成魚膾。所有被殺的眾生，都在陰間，要我逐一償還報應。現在閻摩天子，命令我受刀林劍樹地獄之苦，一日一夜，萬死萬生，痛苦難以忍受。現在我身上有七把刀，痛入骨髓。我向冥司鬼吏詢問，有什麼因緣，能免除此苦？鬼吏回答說：『你生前所造的惡業深重，所以要受此地獄之苦。如果要脫離，必須要有陽間的孝順子孫，為你書寫七卷《金剛經》圓滿完成，才可以免除此苦。』我回答說：『我沒有子孫，只有親弟弟妹妹在家。』我請求暫時停止受苦，願意放我回去求救。蒙允許而歸。希望弟弟妹妹以骨肉之情，將我生前遺留的衣物財產，變賣得錢，捐舍到凈土寺，求寶獻大師為我書寫《金剛經》七卷。親自在佛前，懺悔殺生種種無邊的重罪，愿我早日脫離地獄辛酸之苦。於是弟弟妹妹就按照我所囑咐的，立即出售遺物，命僧人書寫《金剛經》。才寫完一卷，冥司獄吏奉天子之命前來，立即從任五娘身上抽出一把刀。寫完七卷經書圓滿，所有的刀都抽完了。承蒙這部大乘經典的功德，所有前來索報的生靈，都得到解脫，往生善道。任五孃的業障也像冰雪消融一樣，脫離地獄，得到人天福報。有一天她又回來，拜謝弟弟妹妹，正要詳細詢問，也就消失不見了。（出自《報應記》）。
白仁哲
唐龍朔年間（661-663年），白仁哲擔任虢州朱陽縣尉。奉命運送米糧到遼東，渡海時，忽然遇到惡劣的風暴，四面一片昏暗。白仁哲和同船的八十二人，都非常憂慮恐懼。白仁哲平時持誦《金剛般若經》，至誠懇切，有所感應。當時整理身心，焚香誦讀《金剛經》，還沒讀完一卷，忽然像做夢一樣，看見空中有一位梵僧（指印度僧人），身上放出光明。
【English Translation】 English version: 5. Killing numerous living beings. Also, making raw fish dishes from live fish. All the beings killed are in the underworld, demanding that I repay them one by one. Now, King Yama has ordered me to suffer in the hell of the knife-tree and sword-forest, ten thousand deaths and ten thousand births in a single day and night, the pain unbearable. Currently, there are seven knives in my body, the pain piercing my bones. I asked the ghost officers of the underworld what cause or condition could release me from this suffering. The ghost officer replied, 'The evil karma you created in your previous life is profound, so you must suffer in this hell. If you want to escape, you must have filial descendants in the living world write seven complete volumes of the Diamond Sutra for you, then you can be freed from this suffering.' I replied, 'I have no descendants, only my younger siblings at home.' I requested a temporary cessation of suffering, willing to be released to seek help. I was granted permission to return. I hope my siblings, out of familial affection, will sell the clothing and possessions I left behind, donate the money to the Pure Land Temple, and ask Master Baoxian to write seven volumes of the Diamond Sutra for me. Personally, before the Buddha, I will repent for the boundless and grave sins of killing, wishing for an early escape from the bitter suffering of hell.' Thereupon, my siblings followed my instructions, immediately selling my belongings and commissioning a monk to write the Diamond Sutra. Only after one volume was completed, the prison officers of the underworld, acting on the orders of the king, came and immediately removed one knife from Ren Wuniang's body. After the seven volumes of the sutra were completed, all the knives were removed. Receiving the merit of this Mahayana scripture, all the beings who came to seek retribution were liberated and reborn in good realms. Ren Wuniang's karmic obstacles also melted away like ice, and she escaped from hell, attaining human and heavenly blessings. One day, she returned to thank her siblings, but just as she was about to inquire in detail, she disappeared. (From Records of Retribution).
Bai Renzhe
During the Longshuo era of the Tang Dynasty (661-663 AD), Bai Renzhe served as the county lieutenant of Zhuyang County in Guo Prefecture. He was ordered to transport rice to Liaodong. While crossing the sea, he suddenly encountered a severe storm, and darkness enveloped all around. Bai Renzhe and the eighty-two people on board were all worried and fearful. Bai Renzhe usually recited the Vajra Prajna Sutra (Diamond Sutra), and his sincerity was deeply felt. At that time, he composed himself, burned incense, and recited the Diamond Sutra. Before he finished the first chapter, he suddenly had a dream-like vision, seeing a Brahman monk (referring to an Indian monk) in the sky, emitting light from his body.
五色光明。謂仁哲曰。汝等八十餘人。宿有惡業因緣。今日俱當沒溺海中。即目海內鬼神羅剎等眾。咸伺求其便。數內只緣仁哲平日持經功德。今蒙玉帝有來。遍告龍王水府神祇。庶得免此撗逆之禍。吾特來報汝。勿致憂疑。須臾風恬浪靜。八十餘人俱得濟岸矣。(出報應記)。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 五色光明。有人告訴仁哲說：『你們八十多人，宿世有惡業因緣，今天都將沉沒在海中。』當時海內的鬼神羅剎等眾，都伺機尋找機會。只因爲仁哲平日持誦佛經的功德，現在蒙玉皇大帝降臨，遍告龍王水府神祇，或許可以免除這場橫禍。我特來告訴你，不要憂慮懷疑。一會兒風平浪靜，你們八十多人都能安全到達岸邊了。（出自《報應記》）。
司馬喬卿
唐永徽元年（650年），司馬喬卿擔任大理司。正逢母親去世，他哀痛過度，身體極度虛弱。刺血書寫《金剛經》一卷。剛完成，忽然墓地上生長出三株芝草，長一尺八寸，綠色的莖，紅色的蓋。採摘后又重新生長。（出自《金剛感應傳》）。
吳逵
唐天寶年間（742-756年），常州宜興縣人吳逵，每天五更時分，親自到佛前，誦讀《金剛般若經》一十七卷，兼禮拜唸佛。吳逵有詩說：『五更鐘聲響動不要貪睡，抖擻精神面向佛前。一拜一聲彌陀佛，花池已種一枝蓮。』他每日修行，活到九十二歲。忽然與兒女告別，無疾而終。他親眼看見兩位使者，引他去見閻摩天子（Yama，掌管地獄之王）。閻摩天子問吳逵：『你生前做了什麼善業？』吳逵回答說：『我從小到大，專心念誦《金剛經》。』天子合掌，命吳逵坐下，朗誦一卷。當唸到『在舍衛國（Śrāvastī，古印度城市）』時，口中立即散發出美妙的香氣，看見佛顯現。閻摩天子非常欣喜，對吳逵說：『您有般若（Prajñā，智慧）的功德，我來送您往生舍衛國中，承接高官之後，享受他的爵位俸祿，享受富貴福報，子孫榮耀顯達。』使者奉命送吳逵，吳逵回頭看了一眼舊居，在空中告訴兒女說：『我得到唸經的力量，閻王命令我往生舍衛國中，特來與你們告別。你們應該受持《金剛經》及《法華經》。陰間地府非常敬重這兩部經。如果不能受持，』
【English Translation】 English version: Five-colored light. Someone told Renzhe (仁哲, a person's name): 'You eighty-odd people have evil karma from past lives. Today, you will all sink into the sea.' At that time, the ghosts, spirits, and Rakshasas (羅剎, a type of demon) in the sea were all waiting for the opportunity. Only because of Renzhe's merit of reciting scriptures on weekdays, the Jade Emperor (玉帝, the supreme deity of Taoism) has now come and informed the Dragon King (龍王, the king of the sea) and the water palace deities, perhaps to avoid this unexpected disaster. I have come specifically to inform you, do not worry or doubt. In a moment, the wind will calm and the waves will subside, and you eighty-odd people will all be able to reach the shore safely.' (From 'Records of Retribution').
Sima Qiaoqing (司馬喬卿, a person's name)
In the first year of Yonghui (永徽, 650 AD) of the Tang Dynasty, Sima Qiaoqing served as Dali Si (大理司, a judicial official). He was in mourning for his mother's death, and he was so grief-stricken that he became extremely weak. He pricked his blood to write a volume of the Diamond Sutra (金剛經, Vajracchedikā Sūtra). As soon as it was completed, three stalks of Ganoderma (芝草, a type of medicinal mushroom) suddenly grew on the tomb, one foot and eight inches long, with green stems and red caps. They were picked, but they grew again. (From 'Miraculous Responses of the Diamond Sutra').
Wu Kui (吳逵, a person's name)
During the Tianbao (天寶, 742-756 AD) years of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Kui, a resident of Yixing County (宜興縣, a county in Changzhou) in Changzhou (常州, a city in Jiangsu province), would personally go to the Buddha's presence every day at the fifth watch (五更, around 3-5 am) to recite seventeen volumes of the Diamond Prajna Sutra (金剛般若經, Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra), and also prostrate and recite the Buddha's name. Wu Kui had a poem that said: 'When the fifth watch bell rings, do not be greedy for sleep, rouse your spirit and face the Buddha. One bow, one recitation of Amitabha Buddha (彌陀佛, Amitābha), a lotus has already been planted in the flower pond.' He practiced daily and lived to the age of ninety-two. Suddenly, he bid farewell to his children and died without illness. He personally saw two messengers leading him to see Yama (閻摩天子, Yama, the king of hell). Yama asked Wu Kui: 'What good deeds did you do in your life?' Wu Kui replied: 'From childhood to this day, I have focused on reciting the Diamond Sutra.' The king folded his palms and ordered Wu Kui to sit down and recite a volume aloud. When he recited 'in Śrāvastī (舍衛國, an ancient city in India),' a wonderful fragrance immediately emanated from his mouth, and he saw the Buddha appear. Yama was overjoyed and said to Wu Kui: 'You have the merit of Prajna (般若, wisdom), I will send you to be reborn in Śrāvastī, to inherit the position of a high official, enjoy his rank and salary, enjoy wealth and blessings, and your descendants will be glorious and prominent.' The messengers obeyed the order and sent Wu Kui. Wu Kui looked back at his old home and told his children in the air: 'I have obtained the power of reciting the scriptures. Yama has ordered me to be reborn in Śrāvastī. I have come specifically to say goodbye to you. You should uphold the Diamond Sutra and the Lotus Sutra (法華經, Lotus Sūtra). The underworld deeply respects these two sutras. If you cannot uphold them,'
以諸花香。恭敬供養。得福無量。仍不得殺生。蠢動含靈。皆有佛性。買命放生。得長壽報。兒女聞之悲哭。曰。不用傷感。人生世間。有一善可憑。命盡如夜眠天曉。還見日月。一向在惡。必入黑闇勉之。言訖不見。(出雜俎記)。
偷馬賊
唐大曆中。太原偷馬賊誣一孝廉同情。拷掠旬日。不勝苦楚。並無招詞。推吏疑其為冤。未成文案。孝廉專持 金剛經。其聲哀切。晝夜不息。忽一日。有竹一段。兩頭有節。墮于地上。不知從何處來。眾囚皆爭奪看。轉至獄卒之前。疑是藏刀在內。對眾劈開。視之。乃有金剛經中半偈。云。法尚應舍。何況非法。眾皆愕然起敬。賊首悔過。因得放焉。
周伯玉
唐大曆十一年。衛州別駕周伯玉。日常持念 金剛般若波羅蜜經。公私不易其心。以為功課。一日忽見梵僧來前。伯玉問曰。是何尊者。答曰。吾是般若會上須菩提也。為汝誦經數年。惜乎不斷肉食。汝若志心求佛道者。必須長齋斷肉。伯玉自此斷肉蔬食。轉加精進。誦持 般若尊經。寒暑不輟。(出證驗賦)。
王待制
了禪師應驗序曰。昔唐時。有王待制。船至漢江。阻風。波濤洶涌。四面昏黑。檣頎楫摧。危險之甚。滿船驚惶。性命莫保。待制亦懼。不得已。遂將平日持誦
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：用各種鮮花和香來恭敬供養，可以獲得無量的福報。但是仍然不能殺生，所有會蠕動的、有知覺的生命，都具有佛性。買下將被殺害的生命並將它們放生，可以得到長壽的果報。他的兒女聽了悲傷地哭泣。他說：『不用傷感。人生在世間，只要有一件善事可以依靠，生命終結就像夜晚睡覺天亮一樣，還能見到太陽和月亮。如果一直作惡，必定會墮入黑暗之中，努力行善吧。』說完就不見了。（出自《雜俎記》）。
偷馬賊
唐朝大曆年間（766-779年），太原的偷馬賊誣陷一位孝廉與他同謀，拷打審問了十幾天，孝廉承受不了痛苦，但始終沒有招供。審訊的官吏懷疑他是被冤枉的，沒有形成正式的案卷。孝廉專心持誦《金剛經》，聲音哀切，晝夜不停。忽然有一天，有一段竹子，兩頭都有節，掉在地上，不知道從哪裡來的。眾囚犯都爭著觀看，傳到獄卒面前，獄卒懷疑裡面藏著刀，當著大家的面劈開竹子，一看，裡面竟然是《金剛經》中的半句偈語，說：『法尚應舍，何況非法。』眾人都驚訝地肅然起敬，偷馬賊的首領也後悔認錯，孝廉因此得以釋放。
周伯玉
唐朝大曆十一年（776年），衛州別駕周伯玉，每天持念《金剛般若波羅蜜經》，公事私事都不改變他的心意，將誦經作為功課。一天，忽然看見一位梵僧來到面前，周伯玉問道：『您是哪位尊者？』梵僧回答說：『我是般若會上的須菩提（釋迦摩尼十大弟子之一，解空第一）。因為你誦經數年，可惜一直沒有斷絕肉食。你如果真心求佛道，必須長期吃素，斷絕肉食。』周伯玉從此斷絕肉食，吃素，更加精進，誦持《般若尊經》，寒暑都不停止。（出自《證驗賦》）。
王待制
了禪師應驗序中說：從前唐朝時，有一位王待制，乘船到漢江，遇到頂頭風，波濤洶涌，四面昏暗，船桅折斷船槳摧毀，情況非常危險。滿船的人都驚慌害怕，性命難保。王待制也很害怕，不得已，於是就將平日持誦
【English Translation】 English version: Using various flowers and incense to respectfully make offerings brings immeasurable blessings. However, one still must not kill living beings. All creatures that crawl and possess sentience have Buddha-nature. Buying lives destined for slaughter and releasing them brings the reward of longevity. His children, hearing this, wept sadly. He said, 'Do not grieve. In this world, if one has a single good deed to rely on, the end of life is like sleeping at night and seeing the sun rise in the morning, still able to see the sun and moon. If one consistently does evil, one will surely fall into darkness. Strive to do good.' After speaking, he disappeared. (From 'Miscellaneous Records').
The Horse Thief
During the Dali era (766-779 AD) of the Tang Dynasty, a horse thief in Taiyuan falsely accused a Xiulian (a civil service examination candidate) of being an accomplice. The Xiulian was interrogated and tortured for over ten days, enduring immense suffering, but never confessed. The investigating official suspected he was wrongly accused and did not finalize the case. The Xiulian devotedly recited the 'Diamond Sutra' (Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra), his voice filled with sorrow, day and night without ceasing. Suddenly, one day, a section of bamboo with knots at both ends fell to the ground, its origin unknown. The prisoners all scrambled to see it, and it was passed to the jailer, who suspected it contained a hidden knife. He split the bamboo open in front of everyone and found half a verse from the 'Diamond Sutra': 'Even the Dharma should be relinquished, how much more so what is not Dharma.' Everyone was astonished and filled with reverence. The horse thief confessed his guilt, and the Xiulian was released.
Zhou Boyu
In the eleventh year of the Dali era (776 AD) of the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Boyu, the Biejia (Assistant Administrator) of Weizhou, daily recited the 'Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra' (Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra), not letting public or private affairs change his devotion, regarding it as a daily practice. One day, he suddenly saw a Brahmin monk appear before him. Zhou Boyu asked, 'Who are you, venerable one?' The monk replied, 'I am Subhuti (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha, known for his understanding of emptiness) from the Prajna assembly. Because you have recited the sutra for many years, it is a pity that you have not ceased eating meat. If you sincerely seek the Buddha's path, you must abstain from meat and be a vegetarian.' From then on, Zhou Boyu abstained from meat, ate vegetarian food, and became even more diligent, reciting the 'Prajna Sutra' (Prajna Paramita Sutra) without ceasing, regardless of the weather. (From 'Evidential Eulogy').
Wang Daizhi
In the preface to the 'Verified Experiences of Zen Master Liao' it says: Formerly, during the Tang Dynasty, there was a Wang Daizhi, whose boat reached the Han River and encountered adverse winds. The waves were surging, and darkness surrounded them. The masts were broken, and the oars were destroyed, making the situation extremely dangerous. The entire boat was filled with panic, and their lives were in peril. Wang Daizhi was also afraid and, having no other choice, began to recite the sutras he usually chanted.
金剛般若經一卷。拋棄江中。遂得風浪平靜。待制惟日深憶此經。受持年遠。鬱鬱不樂。經涉兩月。方到鎮江。見舟尾百步許。有一物似毬之狀。出沒無時。眾疑其異。待制差人喚漁人取之。乃螺螄。輥成一團。割之。外濕內干。待制用手分開。視之。乃是向日所拋之經。毫髮無損。待制驚喜拜而受之。且嘆曰。漢水會於九江。至南徐。動數千里。舟船往來。不可數計。然未聞所持之經。自彼之此。螺螄一見而不捨。其為名耶。利耶。財耶。色耶。將必求脫輪迴生死者也。嗚呼。萬物之中。唯人最靈。有畢世不聞是經。有聞而不見。見而不信。信而為名利財色。役其心不能受持者。尚螺螄之不若也。謂之最靈。孰與之哉。時宋紹熙七年。歲在丁亥。仲秋念五日。歇叟消子述。
虔思
唐乾元年中。廣州僧虔惠。自幼受持 金剛經。寒暑不易。因與緇俗數十人。泛海往南安都護府。忽值風濤大作。打壞船隻。滿船人俱沒海中。唯虔惠在浪中偶遇一藂蓬蒿。自身漸至蓬蒿之上。隨浪三日三夜。方得濟岸。子細視其蒿中。乃見金剛經一卷。並無淹濕。䖍惠拜受此經。精誠供養。日夜受持。年至百三十歲。端坐告終。其經本自出。香菸漸成五色雲氣。徐徐上升天界。大德僧眾與大守官僚。遠近緇白。咸駐此處。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 《金剛般若經》一卷被拋入江中，隨即風浪平息。待制（官名）惟日（人名）深切思念這部經書，因受持此經多年，心中鬱鬱寡歡。經過大約兩個月的時間，到達鎮江。看見船尾大約一百步遠的地方，有一個東西像球一樣，時隱時現。眾人都覺得奇怪。待制派人叫漁夫把它取來，原來是螺螄，滾動成一團。切開它，外面濕潤裡面乾燥。待制用手分開，看到的是之前所拋棄的經書，毫髮無損。待制驚喜地跪拜並接受它，並且感嘆道：『漢水匯入九江，到達南徐（鎮江古稱），流動數千里，船隻往來，數不勝數。然而從未聽說所持的經書，從那裡到這裡，螺螄一見而不捨棄。它爲了名嗎？爲了利嗎？爲了財嗎？爲了色嗎？將必定是尋求脫離輪迴生死的人啊。』唉！萬物之中，唯有人最靈。有人一輩子沒有聽過這部經書，有人聽過而沒有見到，見到而不相信，相信卻爲了名利財色，役使自己的心而不能受持的，還不如螺螄啊。說人是最靈的，誰能比得上它呢？當時是宋紹熙七年（1196年），歲在丁亥，仲秋念五日，歇叟消子（人名）敘述。
虔思（人名）
唐乾元年間（758-760年），廣州僧人虔惠（人名），從小受持《金剛經》，寒暑不改。因為與僧俗數十人，乘船前往南安都護府。忽然遇到狂風巨浪，打壞了船隻。滿船的人都沉入海中。只有虔惠在浪中偶然遇到一叢蓬蒿，自身漸漸到了蓬蒿之上。隨著波浪漂流了三天三夜，才得以到達岸邊。仔細看那蓬蒿之中，竟然看到《金剛經》一卷，並沒有被水浸濕。虔惠跪拜接受這部經書，精誠地供養，日夜受持。活到一百三十歲，端坐而終。這部經書自然發出香氣，煙霧漸漸變成五色雲氣，緩緩上升到天界。大德僧眾與太守官僚，遠近的僧人和百姓，都聚集在這裡。
【English Translation】 English version A volume of the Diamond Sutra was thrown into the river, and immediately the wind and waves calmed down. Attendant-in-waiting Wei Ri (person's name) deeply missed this sutra. Because he had upheld it for many years, he was depressed. After about two months, he arrived at Zhenjiang. He saw something like a ball about a hundred steps away from the stern of the boat, appearing and disappearing from time to time. Everyone thought it was strange. The attendant-in-waiting sent someone to call a fisherman to retrieve it. It turned out to be a snail, rolled into a ball. When it was cut open, the outside was wet and the inside was dry. The attendant-in-waiting separated it with his hands and saw the sutra that had been thrown away, undamaged. The attendant-in-waiting was overjoyed and bowed to receive it, and sighed, 'The Han River converges into the Jiujiang River and reaches Nanxu (ancient name for Zhenjiang), flowing for thousands of miles. Boats come and go, countless in number. However, I have never heard of a sutra being carried from there to here, and a snail refusing to abandon it upon seeing it. Is it for fame? Is it for profit? Is it for wealth? Is it for lust? It must be someone seeking to escape the cycle of reincarnation and death.' Alas! Among all things, only humans are the most intelligent. Some people have never heard of this sutra in their entire lives, some have heard of it but have not seen it, some have seen it but do not believe it, and some believe it but are enslaved by fame, profit, wealth, and lust, using their minds and unable to uphold it. They are not even as good as a snail. If humans are said to be the most intelligent, who can compare to it? At that time, it was the seventh year of the Shao Xi era of the Song Dynasty (1196), the year of Ding Hai, the fifteenth day of the mid-autumn month, narrated by Xie Sou Xiao Zi (person's name).
Qian Si (person's name)
During the Qian Yuan era of the Tang Dynasty (758-760), the monk Qian Hui (person's name) from Guangzhou had upheld the Diamond Sutra since childhood, without changing in cold or heat. Because he was traveling by sea to the Nan'an Protectorate with dozens of monks and laypeople, they suddenly encountered a great storm that destroyed the ship. Everyone on board sank into the sea. Only Qian Hui happened to encounter a clump of artemisia in the waves, and he gradually reached the top of the artemisia. He drifted with the waves for three days and three nights before reaching the shore. Upon closer inspection of the artemisia, he saw a volume of the Diamond Sutra, which was not wet. Qian Hui bowed and received this sutra, sincerely making offerings and upholding it day and night. He lived to be one hundred and thirty years old and passed away peacefully while sitting upright. The sutra naturally emitted fragrance, and the smoke gradually turned into five-colored clouds, slowly rising to the heavens. The virtuous monks and the prefectural officials, as well as monks and laypeople from near and far, all gathered here.

竇公主
唐朝（公元618年-907年）陳國竇公主，是盧氏苪公寬的妹妹。她平日裡樂善好施，相信罪福報應。曾經誦讀《金剛般若經》，當一卷經書快要讀完，還剩兩三行時，忽然頭疼劇烈。她心想如果死了就不能讀完這卷經書了，於是強忍著病痛找來蠟燭，想要繼續讀完。但是所有的蠟燭都滅了，婢女空手而回。夫人嘆息不已。忽然看見燈火，漸漸地升到堂上，直接進入臥室，離地大約三尺，又沒有人拿著。光明如同白晝。夫人又驚又喜，急忙拿起經書來看。過了一會兒，家人用鉆木取火的方法取到了火，燭光就滅了。從此她的病也痊癒了，每天誦讀五卷經書。一天，苪公將要去世，夫人前去探望。苪公對夫人說：『我的妹妹誦經精誠恭敬，冥府已經記錄了你的姓名，又增加了你的壽命。將來一定會有好的果報。』夫人活到九十歲，沒有疾病，洗浴后，端坐而終。

Princess Dou
Princess Dou of the Chen state during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) was the sister of Rui Gongkuan of the Lu family. She was benevolent and believed in karmic retribution. She often recited the Diamond Sutra (Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra). When she was about to finish a scroll, with only two or three lines left, she suddenly had a severe headache. Thinking that she might die before finishing the scroll, she forced herself to ask for a candle to complete it. However, all the candles went out, and the maid returned empty-handed. The princess sighed deeply. Suddenly, she saw a lamp gradually rising into the hall, directly entering the bedroom, about three feet above the ground, with no one holding it. The light was as bright as day. The princess was surprised and delighted, and quickly took the scripture to read. After a while, the family managed to make fire by drilling wood, and the candlelight immediately went out. From then on, her illness was cured, and she recited five scrolls every day. One day, Rui Gong was about to die, and the princess went to visit him. Rui Gong said to the princess, 'My sister recites the scripture with sincerity and reverence. The underworld has recorded your name and added to your lifespan. You will surely have good karmic rewards in the future.' The princess lived to be ninety years old, and without any illness, she took a bath, sat upright, and passed away.
The Monk of Three Cuts
During the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), Cui Zhao was the prefect of Shouzhou. There was a strong soldier who committed a capital crime. When he was about to be executed, officials escorted him to the execution ground. After three cuts, the knives broke. The prefect asked the soldier, 'What kind of magic do you have?' He replied, 'I have no magic. I usually concentrate on reciting the Diamond Sutra (Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra).' So, he sent someone to fetch the scripture to look at. When the scripture box was opened, it was found that the scripture had been broken into three pieces, with clear marks. The prefect saw this, put his palms together in joy, and praised, 'I have heard that this scripture has inconceivable merits, and now it is indeed so.' So, he pardoned his crime. The soldier requested to become a monk, and the prefect issued a certificate of ordination, and he was named the Monk of Three Cuts.
Kai Xingli
Kai Xingli of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) was from Shanzhou. He did not know a single character. In the early years of Changqing (821 AD), he often followed good friends who orally taught him the Diamond Sutra (Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra). After a year, he could recite it himself. At that time, or because of (missing a character) being an ordinary person everywhere, he would offer the scripture, burn incense, and recite it, reciting one scroll a day.

蘇仁欽
唐武德年間。長安蘇仁欽。有父。前生嘗于陰府借過受生錢。得託生處。世享富貴福。因循不曾答還。自死之後。墮廁中擔負沙石。臭穢沒身。受無量苦。又仁欽在生。恃其豪富。不知慚愧。恣意宰殺豬羊。烹炮物命。蓋因被殺眾生。各經陰府陳訴。又復幽顯靈祇。註記罪惡。致蒙陰司追錄。仁欽魂識收繫在獄。遂使陽間受諸重病。枕臥床廗。經年不瘥。以是殺生惡業。減算夭亡。見二使者。押見閻摩天子。來曰。緣汝前生修善。以致今生富饒。汝今恣意享福。不識因果。殺害眾生。遂使減算絕祿。令獄卒驅至刀山劍樹之上。償諸惡報。於是慞惶恐怖。仰告王曰。念仁欽生前雖不曾看經作善。嘗施財請贖 金剛經一卷。舍與安國寺僧神敬受持。此僧遷化已。豈無報應。須臾有異香芬馥。見僧神敬手執 金剛經。直至天子殿前。言。貧僧久與仁欽受持此經。致有般若之功。於是特來告王。愿賜慈悲。再放仁欽還魂。改惡從善。王即合掌。判仁欽加五十年壽
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 釋明浚 唐永徽元年（650年）。釋明浚突然暴斃。蘇云看見兩個青衣人引他去見冥王。冥王問：『你一生做了什麼功德？』明浚回答說：『只是誦讀《金剛經》。』冥王說：『很好。如果誦滿十萬遍，明年必定往生凈土，就能見到你的老師了。』於是放他還陽。明浚從此更加精進，到永徽二年（651年）三月去世。寺里的僧眾都聞到奇異的香味。（出自本傳） 蘇仁欽 唐武德年間（618-626年）。長安人蘇仁欽，他的父親前世曾經在陰間借過受生錢，得以投胎轉世，享受人間的富貴福祿，但一直沒有償還。死後，墮入廁所中，擔負沙石，渾身沾滿臭穢，遭受無量的痛苦。而且蘇仁欽在世時，仗著自己豪富，不知慚愧，隨意宰殺豬羊，烹煮各種生靈。這是因為被殺的眾生，各自到陰間府衙陳訴，加上幽冥中的神祇，記錄了他的罪惡，導致陰司追查記錄。蘇仁欽的魂識被關在監獄裡，因此陽間的身體遭受各種重病，臥床不起，經年不愈。因為殺生的惡業，減損壽命而夭亡。他看見兩個使者，押著他去見閻摩天子（Yama，冥界之王）。閻摩天子說：『因為你前世修善，才導致你今生富饒。你現在恣意享福，不認識因果，殺害眾生，因此減損壽命，斷絕福祿。』命令獄卒把他驅趕到刀山劍樹之上，償還各種惡報。於是蘇仁欽驚慌恐怖，仰頭告訴閻摩天子說：『念在我蘇仁欽生前雖然不曾看經作善，曾經出錢請人抄寫《金剛經》一卷，舍給安國寺的僧人神敬受持。這位僧人已經圓寂了，難道沒有報應嗎？』須臾之間，有奇異的香味芬芳撲鼻，看見僧人神敬手執《金剛經》，一直來到天子殿前，說：『貧僧我長久以來與蘇仁欽一同受持此經，因此有了般若（Prajna，智慧）的功德。因此特來稟告大王，希望您能賜予慈悲，再次放蘇仁欽還魂，改惡從善。』閻摩天子立刻合掌，判決蘇仁欽增加五十年壽命。
【English Translation】 English version Shi Mingjun In the first year of Yonghui (650) during the Tang Dynasty, Shi Mingjun died suddenly. Su Yun saw two servants in green robes leading him to the King of the Underworld. The King asked, 'What deeds did you perform in your life?' Mingjun replied, 'I only recited the Diamond Sutra.' The King said, 'Excellent. If you recite it a hundred thousand times, you will surely be reborn in the Pure Land next year and see your teacher.' Then he released him to return to the world. From then on, Mingjun became even more diligent, and he passed away in the third month of the second year of Yonghui (651). The monks in the temple all smelled a strange fragrance. (From his biography) Su Renqin During the Wude era (618-626) of the Tang Dynasty, Su Renqin of Chang'an had a father who had borrowed money for rebirth from the underworld in a previous life, allowing him to be reborn and enjoy wealth and fortune in this world, but he had never repaid it. After his death, he fell into a latrine, carrying sand and stones, his body covered in filth, suffering immeasurable pain. Moreover, Su Renqin, while alive, relied on his wealth and did not know shame, slaughtering pigs and sheep at will, and cooking various living beings. This was because the beings he had killed each filed complaints in the underworld, and the spirits of the unseen world recorded his sins, leading to his being pursued and recorded by the underworld. Su Renqin's soul was imprisoned, causing him to suffer various serious illnesses in the human world, confined to bed for years without recovery. Because of the evil karma of killing, his lifespan was reduced, and he died prematurely. He saw two messengers escorting him to Yama (King of the Underworld). Yama said, 'Because you cultivated goodness in a previous life, you were born wealthy in this life. Now you indulge in pleasure, not recognizing cause and effect, and kill living beings, therefore your lifespan is reduced, and your fortune is cut off.' He ordered the jailers to drive him to the mountain of knives and the trees of swords to repay his evil deeds. Then Su Renqin panicked and fearfully told Yama, 'Considering that I, Su Renqin, although I never read scriptures or did good deeds in my life, once spent money to have a copy of the Diamond Sutra made and gave it to the monk Shenjing of Anguo Temple to uphold. This monk has already passed away, is there no retribution?' In a moment, there was a strange and fragrant scent, and the monk Shenjing was seen holding the Diamond Sutra, coming directly before the King's hall, saying, 'This poor monk has long upheld this sutra with Su Renqin, and therefore has the merit of Prajna (wisdom). Therefore, I have come to inform the King, hoping that you will grant compassion and release Su Renqin's soul again to return to the world and reform his ways.' Yama immediately joined his palms and decreed that Su Renqin's lifespan be increased by fifty years.

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： （仁欽）又回到陽間，因此得以還魂，鄉里遠近見到聽到這件事的人，沒有不驚歎的，都各自戒殺生，迴心向善。（仁欽）活過來后，發心印施《法華經》一百部，《金剛經》一千卷，齋僧一百位，修設水陸大齋，做各種功德。忽然夜裡夢見已故的父親，說：『我受地獄的苦無量，感謝你修行佛法的功德之力，我已經得生天界。你如果為我將田地百畝，舍入寺廟供佛齋僧，這功德不可思議，功德超過七代祖先，福澤及於子孫。』（仁欽）於是依照已故父親的囑託，以滿心願。（出自《雜俎記》）。
楊旬
唐大曆年間（766-779年），夔州推司楊旬，常持誦《金剛般若（Vajra Prajna）》，處心正直，積累陰德，感動了上天。他有個兒子二十三歲，學習科舉。一天稟告父親，想要進入考場。父親說：『你學業未充實，不可以。』他父親當夜夢見一金剛神（Vajra deity），對楊旬說：『你念經陰德有感應，我特來報信。你兒子將來必定顯貴，如果應科舉，須改作楊椿的名字參加考試，我會在考場中幫助你兒子。』楊旬得到夢后，次日讓兒子用楊椿的名字交卷，果然得了第六名。次年赴省試，楊椿自己夢見一金剛神（Vajra deity），告訴楊椿說：『今年省試的題目，乃是行王道而王，你可以預先留心，切勿泄露。』正式考試那天，果然如夢中所見。試中第九十六名。等到殿試完畢，試官將三名卷子呈到御榻上，擇日拆號唱名。楊椿再三夢見神說：『你的策論很好，卻不合主考官的意，被打在第五甲。我如今將你的卷子在御榻上換了第一名的卷子，後日唱名，你應該奪得天下第一了。』這是你父子平昔唸經行善的報應。到這時，果然應驗了夢境。史巖聽說了推司楊旬的兒子，中了天
【English Translation】 English version: (Renqin) returned to the Yang world and was thus revived. Those near and far who saw and heard of this were all amazed and each refrained from killing and turned to good. After (Renqin) came back to life, he vowed to print and distribute one hundred copies of the 'Lotus Sutra' (Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra), one thousand copies of the 'Diamond Sutra' (Vajra Prajna Sutra), offer a vegetarian feast to one hundred monks, hold a grand water and land ceremony, and perform various meritorious deeds. Suddenly, he dreamed of his deceased father, who said, 'I suffer immeasurable torment in hell, but thanks to the power of your merit from practicing the Buddha's Dharma, I have been reborn in the heavens. If you donate one hundred acres of land to the temple to offer to the Buddha and provide vegetarian meals to the monks, this merit will be inconceivable, surpassing the merit of seven generations of ancestors and benefiting your descendants.' (Renqin) then followed his deceased father's instructions and fulfilled his wish. (From 'Miscellaneous Records').
Yang Xun
During the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty (766-779 AD), Yang Xun, a clerk in Kuizhou, often recited the 'Diamond Prajna' (Vajra Prajna). He was upright in his heart, accumulated hidden virtues, and moved the heavens. He had a son who was twenty-three years old and studying for the imperial examinations. One day, he told his father that he wanted to enter the examination hall. His father said, 'Your studies are not yet complete, you cannot go.' That night, his father dreamed of a Vajra deity, who said to Yang Xun, 'Your recitation of scriptures and accumulation of hidden virtues have been felt, so I have come to inform you. Your son will surely be noble in the future. If he takes the imperial examinations, he must change his name to Yang Chun to take the exam, and I will help your son in the examination hall.' After Yang Xun had the dream, the next day he had his son submit his paper under the name Yang Chun, and he indeed got sixth place. The following year, he went to the provincial examination. Yang Chun himself dreamed of a Vajra deity, who told Yang Chun, 'This year's provincial examination topic is about ruling with the way of the king, you can pay attention in advance and do not leak it.' On the day of the official examination, it was indeed as he had dreamed. He passed the exam in ninety-sixth place. After the palace examination was completed, the examiners presented three papers to the Emperor's desk and chose a day to open the seals and announce the names. Yang Chun dreamed again and again that the deity said, 'Your policy essay is very good, but it does not suit the examiner's intention, and you have been placed in the fifth class. I will now replace your paper with the first-place paper on the Emperor's desk, and when the names are announced the day after tomorrow, you should win the first place in the world.' This is the reward for your father and son's usual recitation of scriptures and good deeds. At this point, the dream was indeed fulfilled. Shi Yan heard that the son of the clerk Yang Xun, passed the imperial

【English Translation】 English version Xia Du Kui (person's name). Please, Xun (person's name), be seated. Ordered Xun to be dismissed from his post. Xun told the History Official (official title): 'I have relied on the protection of Heaven on weekdays, serving the public for forty years. My family has no assets, only accumulated good deeds in secret, leaving behind three money bags. Please order them to be brought and opened in the hall for inspection.' The first money bag contained thirty-nine cash coins worth three qian (ancient currency unit). The second money bag contained more than four thousand cash coins worth two qian. The third money bag contained an estimated ten thousand small coins. The History Official did not understand what this meant. Xun said: 'Every year, when handling official duties of reviewing cases, when encountering death row inmates, I would carefully examine their circumstances. If their death sentence could be commuted to exile, I would contribute one coin worth three qian. If someone committed a crime deserving exile, I would change it to imprisonment and contribute one coin worth two qian. If someone committed a crime deserving caning, I would assess the severity and perhaps release them, and contribute one small coin.' Furthermore, I emulated Zhou Chi (person's name) and practiced the ten benefits of the Tai Shang Gan Ying Pian (Treatise on Actions and Retributions): 1. Collecting abandoned babies in the streets and hiring people to care for them. When they grow older, let the neighbors identify them. If anyone recognizes them, reunite them with their parents. 2. Starting from the third day of the eleventh lunar month every winter, taking in beggars and poor people over sixty and under fifteen years old, housing them in my family's almshouse, providing them with one sheng (unit of volume) of rice and fifteen cash coins per day. On the third day of the second lunar month, after a full season, let them seek their own livelihood. 3. Universally dispensing effective medicinal soups to relieve people's illnesses and suffering. 4. Providing coffins to help families who cannot afford to transport and bury their deceased. 5. If a female servant is not suitable for service, not calculating her purchase price, but giving her clothing and money to allow her to remarry as she pleases. 6. While living in this world, I wholeheartedly abstain from killing and protect all living beings. When encountering flying or walking creatures, I buy them and release them. 7. Whenever there is a famine year, I buy grain at high prices and sell it at low prices to relieve the poor. 8. Whenever temples or monasteries are collapsing or damaged, I repair them. If the statues of deities are peeling due to age, I decorate them. Or if bridges, roads, or ditches are impassable, I repair them. 9. If there are scholars or travelers from distant lands who are stranded, I assess the distance and provide them with travel provisions to help them return home. 10. I hold the humble position of Investigating Official (official title). Whenever I encounter death row inmates, I try to save them from death. I often put myself in others' shoes, helping people in their urgent needs and rescuing them.

人們說公門不可入，我說公門好修行，若能使曲直沒有顛倒，腳踏蓮花步步生。
何軫女
何軫（人名）的妻子劉氏，年二十六歲，生有一子，已滿兩週歲，一女剛滿週歲。忽然夜裡夢見進入冥司，判決劉氏來年三月命終。醒后思之，憂惶涕泣不已。她的丈夫與親屬都問她哭泣的原因，她回答說：『我曾夢見進入冥司，判我只有半年在世，到期果真死了也沒有遺憾，只是愧對兒女無依無靠。』忽然有一天她自我反省，於是命畫師繪製佛菩薩像一軸，恭敬供養，斷除葷酒。晝夜親自面對佛前，精誠持念《金剛般若經》。迴向發願說：『惟愿我佛慈悲，增延我的壽命，若能活到四十五歲，兒女都有娶嫁之期，死入黃泉，也就能瞑目了。』每日專心持念，到三十八歲，兒子娶了媳婦，到四十三歲，女兒嫁了人，以滿所愿。到太和四年（369年）冬，恰好滿四十五歲，全部捨棄衣物錢財，莊嚴佛像，為善之事全部做完。一日遍告骨肉親緣說：『我死期已到。』何軫以為她是鬼魅所纏，不相信有此事。到歲除日，劉氏自請大德沙門，恭敬地在三寶之前，授以八關齋戒，沐浴更衣，獨自處在一室，跏趺而坐，高聲誦唸《金剛般若波羅蜜經》。誦畢寂然無聲。兒女親屬都入室看視，她端然

Poem says:

He Zhen's (name) Daughter
Liu (name), wife of He Zhen (name), was twenty-six years old. She had a son who was two years old and a daughter who had just turned one. Suddenly, one night, she dreamed of entering the underworld, where it was decreed that Liu (name) would die in the third month of the coming year. After waking up, she thought about it and wept incessantly in worry and fear. Her husband and relatives all asked her the reason for her weeping. She replied, 'I dreamed of entering the underworld, where it was decreed that I only have half a year to live. If I truly die then, I will have no regrets, but I am ashamed that my children will be left without support.' Suddenly one day, she reflected on herself and commissioned an artist to paint an image of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which she respectfully enshrined and offered to, abstaining from meat and wine. Day and night, she personally faced the Buddha and diligently recited the Vajra Prajna Sutra (Diamond Sutra). She dedicated the merits and made a vow, saying, 'May my Buddha have compassion and extend my lifespan. If I can live to forty-five years old, so that my children will have reached the age of marriage, then I can die and enter the Yellow Springs (underworld) with my eyes closed.' She recited diligently every day. At thirty-eight years old, her son married a wife, and at forty-three years old, her daughter married a husband, fulfilling her wish. In the winter of the fourth year of the Taihe era (369 AD), she turned exactly forty-five years old. She gave away all her clothes and possessions, adorned the Buddha image, and completed all good deeds. One day, she told all her relatives and friends, 'My death is near.' He Zhen (name) thought she was possessed by demons and did not believe it. On New Year's Eve, Liu (name) invited a virtuous Shramana (monk), respectfully before the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), to administer the Eight Precepts, bathed and changed her clothes, and stayed alone in a room, sitting in the lotus position, loudly reciting the Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra (Diamond Sutra). After reciting, she was silent. Her children and relatives all entered the room to look at her, and she was sitting upright.

然後坐化，已經圓寂了。但儀容凜然如生，只有頭頂還發熱，觸手灼人。凡是四眾弟子和百姓，見到或聽說的，無不歸心敬仰佛、法、僧三寶（Buddha, Dharma, Sangha），讚歎這種稀有之事。他的丈夫何軫，完全按照亡僧的禮儀，在荊州北郭建造佛塔安葬。（出自《酉陽雜俎》）。 軍校 唐朝乾符年間（874-879年），兗州都督使崔尚書，法令非常嚴厲。有一個軍校，沒有按時參加衙門參拜。崔公大怒，命令左右將他斬首。那軍校臨刑時，臉色全然不變。眾人都覺得奇怪。當時斬首完畢，到了三更時分，軍校醒來，只見自己的身體躺在街上，於是跑回家中。妻子兒女都驚駭不已，以為是鬼魂。軍校對妻子說：『我不是鬼啊。當初被斬首時，就像在醉夢中一樣，什麼都不知道。現在忽然醒來回到家中。』全家都非常歡喜。第二天早上到帳前拜謝。崔公驚愕不已，問道：『你有什麼法術，竟敢又回來了？』軍校回答說：『我素來沒有其他法術，從小到大，每天持念《金剛經》（Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra）三卷。昨天早上睡過了頭，誦經過了時辰，觸犯了軍律。』崔公再問：『你知道被斬首時的情況嗎？』回答說：『當初被押出戟門外，只覺得身如醉夢中，什麼都不記得了。』又問：『你所誦的經在哪裡？』回答說：『在家中佛廚的經函內。』崔公急忙命令人取來。打開經函，只見五色毫光。取出經書來看時，已經斷成兩截了。崔公大為驚異，也自己悔過，安撫軍校說：『我給你幣帛，你可以買銀箔，抄寫此經一百卷，就在延壽寺，命僧人看念懺悔。』一時都散施出去，留下經書十卷，恭敬地在本寺佛殿供養。仍然命人畫下就戮之處，以及斬斷經書的景象，用來彰顯靈蹟。（出自《報應記》）。 孫翁 唐朝政和年間，真州石匠孫翁，每天持念《金剛經》（Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra）三卷。

Then he sat in meditation and passed away, having already entered Nirvana. His appearance remained solemn and lifelike, with only the crown of his head still warm and burning to the touch. All the fourfold assembly (bhikshus, bhikshunis, upasakas, upasikas) and common people who saw or heard of this event, without exception, took refuge in and revered the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), praising this rare occurrence. Her husband, He Zhen, followed the funeral rites for a deceased monk, building a pagoda for burial in the northern suburbs of Jingzhou. (From Youyang Zazu). Military Officer During the Qianfu era (874-879 AD) of the Tang Dynasty, the Yanzhou Governor-General, Minister Cui, had very strict laws. A military officer was absent from the morning assembly. Minister Cui was furious and ordered his attendants to execute him. The military officer's expression did not change at all as he faced execution. People found it strange. After the execution, around midnight, the military officer awoke to find his body lying in the street, so he ran home. His wife and children were terrified, thinking he was a ghost. The officer said to his wife and children, 'I am not a ghost. When I was executed, it was like being in a drunken dream, and I didn't know anything. Now I have suddenly woken up and returned home.' The whole family was overjoyed. The next morning, he went to the front of the tent to thank Minister Cui. Minister Cui was astonished and asked, 'What magic do you possess that you dare to return?' The military officer replied, 'I have no other magic. From childhood until now, I have recited the Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra (金剛經) three times every day. Yesterday morning, I overslept and missed the time for reciting the sutra, violating military law.' Cui then asked, 'Did you know when you were being executed?' He replied, 'When I was first escorted out of the halberd gate, I only felt like I was in a drunken dream and don't remember anything.' He asked again, 'Where is the sutra you recite?' He replied, 'It is in the sutra box in the Buddhist kitchen at home.' Cui hurriedly ordered someone to bring it. When the box was opened, only five-colored rays of light were seen. When the sutra was taken out, it had already been cut into two pieces. Cui was greatly astonished and repented. He comforted the military officer, saying, 'I will give you silk and money so you can buy silver foil and transcribe this sutra one hundred times. Have monks at Yanshou Temple read and repent.' All were distributed, leaving ten copies of the sutra, which were respectfully offered in the Buddha Hall of the temple. He also ordered a painting to be made of the place of execution and the image of the cut sutra to display the miraculous event. (From Retribution Records). Sun Weng During the Zhenghe era of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Weng, a stonemason from Zhenzhou, recited the Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra (金剛經) three times every day.

劉縣令
從前毗山 (Pi Shan) 有個劉縣令，為官清廉，家法甚嚴，每天誦讀《金剛經 (Vajra-chedika Prajna-paramita Sutra)》三卷，無論寒暑都不間斷。他之前擔任運司的幕僚時，他的妻子懷孕多月，夢見一個僧人從空中而來，說：『有一件事冒昧地向您稟告，貧道修行六十餘年，因為世緣未了，還要再次出世。考慮到您合該有善根成熟，特來依附您，希望您能收留。』劉縣令說：『既然您不嫌棄，請您指教。』那僧人便進入了臥房，劉縣令憤怒地醒來。第二天，他的妻子分娩生下一個女兒，聰慧過人。七歲時，沒有跟隨老師學習，就已經通曉了經書。她跟隨父親每天誦讀《金剛經 (Vajra-chedika Prajna-paramita Sutra)》，不到一個月，就能背誦。父母非常高興。到了十九歲，吟詠成章。女兒因為剛從疾病中痊癒，正值夏天，忽然作了一首蚊蚋詩，說：『昨日曾未與君期，今朝擅自入羅幃，玉體任君餐一飽，猶作嬌聲殢阿誰。』她的父親聽了非常憤怒，把她叫到廳堂前，嚴厲地責問她的情意，想要處死她。母親急忙來救，詢問其中的緣由。女兒說：『昨夜蚊蟲叮咬我，今天才作了這首詩，沒有其他的事情。』母親就去告訴了父親，說明了其中的緣由。父親說：『你既然是未出閣的女子，怎麼能...
【English Translation】 English version One day, more than thirty people went into the mountains to quarry stones. Suddenly, the mountain collapsed, and all of them perished, except for Sun Gong, who survived in a crevice. After twelve years, his descendants quarried the stone, breaking through the crevice, and saw Sun Gong sitting upright, his appearance as before. The descendants were terrified and prostrated themselves, asking Sun Gong how he had survived. Sun Gong said, 'I constantly recite the Vajra-chedika Prajna-paramita Sutra (金剛經).' They also asked if he was hungry, and he said, 'Initially, I ate a shortbread, and I have not felt hungry since.' Sun Gong asked, 'Is the scripture I used to read still there?' The descendants replied, 'Yes.' So they went home and remotely retrieved the scripture to read. There was a round hole in the scripture, just the size of a shortbread. All who saw and heard of this praised the scripture for its inconceivable merits, capable of saving Sun Gong from the suffering of hunger, thirst, and imminent death.
Magistrate Liu
In the past, there was a magistrate Liu in Pi Shan (毗山), who was honest and upright in his official duties and had strict family rules. He recited the Vajra-chedika Prajna-paramita Sutra (金剛經) three times a day, without interruption in cold or heat. When he previously served as a secretary for the Transport Commissioner, his wife was pregnant for many months and dreamed of a monk coming from the sky, saying, 'I have something to report to you. This poor monk has cultivated for more than sixty years, but because worldly ties are not yet severed, I must be reborn again. Considering that you are destined to have mature good roots, I have come to rely on you, hoping you will take me in.' Magistrate Liu said, 'Since you do not despise me, please instruct me.' The monk then entered the bedroom, and Magistrate Liu woke up in anger. The next day, his wife gave birth to a daughter, who was exceptionally intelligent. At the age of seven, without having studied with a teacher, she already understood the scriptures. She followed her father in reciting the Vajra-chedika Prajna-paramita Sutra (金剛經) every day, and in less than a month, she could recite it from memory. Her parents were very happy. At the age of nineteen, she composed poems. The daughter, having just recovered from an illness, and it being summer, suddenly wrote a poem about mosquitoes, saying, 'Yesterday I did not agree to meet you, but today you boldly enter my boudoir. You may feast on my jade body, yet you still make coquettish sounds to tease me.' Her father was furious upon hearing this and summoned her to the hall, severely questioning her intentions, intending to put her to death. Her mother rushed to her rescue, asking for the reason. The daughter said, 'Last night, mosquitoes bit me, and today I wrote this poem, there is nothing else.' The mother then went to tell the father, explaining the reason. The father said, 'Since you are an unmarried woman, how can you...

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 有這樣的話語，句句都飽含情感。女兒告訴父親說：『不然，請讓我來題詞。』於是，女兒另外作了四句詩。父親拿起剪刀作為題目，女兒隨口便回答說：『有情的兩股合在一起，無情的兩股分開。快速地從腰裡取用，長短任憑您來裁剪。』父親微笑不語。女兒便回到房中，沐浴更衣，出來到廳堂告訴父親：『女兒我剛才，幾乎不得好死。不如趁早拜別父母離去。』於是作頌說道：『十九年來作客清凈，無花無逸，了了分明。歸去任憑東西南北，生也了，死也了，不論年多年少。今日撥轉，遇真空，一輪明月清皎皎。描也難描，畫也難畫，滿頭插花，盤膝坐化。』
宋承信
宋紹興二年（1132年），有宋承信，居住在秀州華亭縣。因為患有翻胃的疾病，數年百藥不能治療。忽然一夜，夢見有一位梵僧，告訴承信說：『你乃是宿世的冤孽，才導致今生遭受各種病苦。你知不知道，世間的男子婦人，或患有風癱，或勞累跛腳，或盲聾瘖啞，或疾病纏身，經年累月，只能躺在床上，將死不能，氣絕者，他們的魂靈被攝到陰司，考校前生今世所作的罪惡，因緣果報，毫髮不差。若有人奉獻施捨《金剛經》（Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra），或是自己或他人書寫，或是畢生受持，才舉心動念，就會驚動陰府官曹，檢查善功，先放魂魄附體，再遇到良醫，其病立即痊癒。』醒來后，第二天，他讓妻子焚香，親自在諸佛菩薩面前，發願甘心奉獻施捨《金剛般若經》（Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra）一千卷，兼自己盡形受持。爾後又夢見有一位金剛神，賜給他藥丸一顆，讓承信吞下。第二天，他的病就痊癒了，將養月餘，身輕體健，容貌精神都恢復如舊。凡是見聞者都合掌稱歎，此經（Sutra）。
【English Translation】 English version: There are such words, every sentence filled with emotion. The daughter said to her father, 'Otherwise, please let me inscribe.' So, the daughter composed four lines of poetry. The father took scissors as the topic, and the daughter replied spontaneously, 'The affectionate two strands are joined together, the heartless two strands are separated. Quickly take from the waist, the length is up to you to cut.' The father smiled and said nothing. The daughter then returned to her room, bathed and changed clothes, and came out to the hall to tell her father, 'Your daughter almost died just now. It is better to bid farewell to my parents and leave early.' Then she composed a verse, saying, 'For nineteen years, I have been a guest in purity, without flowers or leisure, clearly and distinctly. Returning, I leave it to the east, west, north, and south. Life is over, death is over, regardless of age. Today, turning around, encountering the true void, a round of bright moon is clear and bright. Difficult to describe, difficult to paint, with flowers in my hair, I sit in lotus position and pass away.'
Song Chengxin
In the second year of Shaoxing (1132 AD) in the Song Dynasty, there was Song Chengxin, who lived in Huating County, Xiuzhou. Because he suffered from a stomach-turning disease, he could not be cured by hundreds of medicines for several years. Suddenly one night, he dreamed of a Buddhist monk who told Chengxin, 'You are the karmic debt of a previous life, which has led to you suffering from various illnesses in this life. Do you know that men and women in the world, whether suffering from hemiplegia, or tired lameness, or blindness, deafness, and muteness, or illness, lying in bed for years, unable to die, those whose breath is cut off, their souls are taken to the underworld to examine the sins committed in their previous and present lives, the causes and effects of karma, without any difference. If someone offers the Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra, whether written by themselves or others, or upheld throughout their life, as soon as they have a thought, it will alarm the officials of the underworld to examine their good deeds, first releasing the soul to attach to the body, and then encountering a good doctor, their illness will be cured immediately.' After waking up, the next day, he asked his wife to burn incense and personally vowed before all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to willingly offer one thousand volumes of the Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra, and to uphold it himself throughout his life. Later, he dreamed again of a Vajra deity who gave him a pill and told Chengxin to swallow it. The next day, his illness was cured, and after a month of recuperation, his body was light and healthy, and his appearance and spirit were restored to their former state. All who saw and heard it praised with their palms together, this Sutra.

唐珍
宋朝(1127年-1279年)的唐珍，是紹興府（今浙江紹興）會稽縣的押獄。他每天持誦《金剛經》三卷，無論寒暑從未改變。紹興八年（1138年），他和楮旬、諸茂一起盜用官錢，事情敗露。縣裡將此案上報到紹興府，趙相公判決將他們送到司理院再次勘查。唐珍等人到達后，夜裡夢見一位金剛神，告訴唐珍說：『你因為平日持念《金剛經》而有所感應，你只管放心，臨到判決的時候，我當幫助相公的神筆，先判楮旬、諸茂，各判脊杖，發配到鄰州。你判決杖一百，回監牢，等到贓款補足之日，就呈報放你回家。』醒來后，他再三思量，『我既然是主謀，所犯的罪名，罪責應該是一樣的，怎麼會有輕重之分呢？』實在無法理解。等到臨決斷之時，逐一應驗了夢中的情景，毫髮不差。所見所聞的人，都覺得奇異。這才知道《金剛般若》的功德，有不可思議之處。於是感嘆金剛神力，暗中幫助趙相公的判決，還有什麼可懷疑的呢？此後發願印施《金剛般若經》三百卷，終身專心精進地受持，活到八十五歲，無疾而終。（出自《雜俎記》）。

宋朝(1127年-1279年)紹興九年（1139年），明州（今浙江寧波）的王氏，每天持誦《金剛經》。因為丈夫要帶她去岐州（今陜西岐山）赴任，她身懷六甲已經二十八個月，無法分娩，又因為多病，身體非常虛弱，非常擔心生產的時候，母子難以保全，憂慮惶恐不已。一天，她倚門而立，偶然看見一位奇異的僧人，教化她說：『共同增加福利。』王氏將錢財佈施給他后，僧人說：『娘子有善根，為什麼不印施《金剛經》呢？如果發心印施一千卷，現世可以增延福壽，父母子孫團圓，所希望的都能如願，福澤及於七代祖先，先亡的一切眷屬，都能獲得超脫陞遷。』王氏猛然醒悟，按照僧人的囑咐。

Tang Zhen
Tang Zhen of the Song Dynasty (1127-1279) was a prison warden in Kuaiji County, Shaoxing Prefecture (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). He recited the Diamond Sutra three times daily, without fail in cold or heat. In the eighth year of Shaoxing (1138), he, along with Chu Xun and Zhu Mao, embezzled official money. When the matter was discovered, the county reported it to Shaoxing Prefecture. Zhao Xiang Gong (Duke Zhao) ordered them to be sent to the Sili Yuan (Court of Judicial Review) for further investigation. When Tang Zhen and the others arrived, he dreamed of a Vajra deity at night, who told Tang Zhen, 'You have received a response from your daily recitation of the Diamond Sutra. Just rest assured. When the judgment is made, I will assist the Duke's divine pen to first sentence Chu Xun and Zhu Mao to be beaten with a spine-stick and exiled to a neighboring prefecture. You will be sentenced to one hundred strokes of the stick and returned to prison. When the embezzled money is fully repaid, you will be released home.' Upon waking up, he pondered repeatedly, 'Since I am the mastermind, the crime I committed should be the same. How can there be a difference in severity?' He could not understand it. When the time came for the judgment, everything happened exactly as in the dream, without the slightest deviation. Those who saw and heard it all felt it was strange. Only then did they realize that the merit of the Diamond Prajna (Diamond Wisdom) is inconceivable. Therefore, he was grateful for the Vajra deity's power, which secretly assisted Duke Zhao's judgment. What doubts could there be? Afterwards, he vowed to print and distribute three hundred copies of the Diamond Prajna Sutra and dedicated himself to diligently upholding it for the rest of his life. He lived to eighty-five years old and died without illness. (From Miscellaneous Records).
Wang Shi
In the ninth year of Shaoxing (1139) of the Song Dynasty (1127-1279), Wang Shi of Mingzhou (now Ningbo, Zhejiang) recited the Diamond Sutra daily. Because her husband was taking her to Qizhou (now Qishan, Shaanxi) to take up his post, she had been pregnant for twenty-eight months and could not give birth. Moreover, due to illness, her body was very weak. She was very worried that during childbirth, both mother and child would be in danger. She was filled with anxiety and fear. One day, she stood leaning against the door and happened to see a strange monk who taught her, 'Let us increase blessings together.' After Wang Shi gave him money as alms, the monk said, 'Madam has good roots. Why not print and distribute the Diamond Sutra? If you vow to print one thousand copies, you can increase your blessings and longevity in this life, have your parents, children, and grandchildren reunited, and have all your wishes fulfilled. Blessings will extend to seven generations of ancestors, and all deceased relatives will be liberated and ascend.' Wang Shi suddenly realized and followed the monk's instructions.
。遂印施 金剛經一千卷。齋僧一千員。就念經一千卷。躬就天寧寺。對三寶前懺悔。求愿保祐生產之日。子母雙全。早祈感格。齋罷還家。至夜三更。得夢。自見一金剛神。以杵指王氏腹。其疼不可忍。及覺。已生二男子在床。相貌圓滿。令人愛樂。仰藉般若之功。天神衛護。報應之速。王氏既得母子雙全。不勝忻幸。爾後專心齊素。誦經不輟。年至六十一歲。無疾忽爾身亡。自見二使者引見閻摩天子。敕問。汝在生作何善業。王氏答曰。自幼持念 金剛般若經。至今每日不缺。天子賜金床與王氏。就殿側坐。朗誦一遍。地獄辛酸之苦。一時停息。諸受地獄之人。普沾恩利。天子再問王氏。何不誦咒。答。世間無本。來令鬼吏于藏中取咒本付王氏。囑曰。汝歸陽間。展轉流通。切勿遺墜。天子又曰。王氏向後壽終。逕生極樂世界。不復再來此處矣。

朱進士
宋朝蘇州府朱進士。服儒衣冠。習舉士業。平昔罔知佛法之妙。一日閒遊。偶至虎丘寺。正值佛印禪師講演 金剛般若經。至一切有為法。如夢幻泡影。如露亦如電。應作如是觀。師逐一解說佛法大意
【現代漢語翻譯】 於是她印製並施捨《金剛經》一千卷，齋僧一千人，誦經一千卷。親自前往天寧寺，在三寶（佛、法、僧）前懺悔，祈求保佑生產之日母子平安。她的虔誠很快得到了迴應。齋戒完畢回到家中，到了半夜三更，她做了一個夢，夢見一位金剛神，用杵指著王氏的腹部，疼痛難忍。醒來時，發現已經生了兩個男嬰在床上，相貌圓滿，令人喜愛。仰仗《般若經》的功德，天神衛護，報應如此迅速。王氏既得母子雙全，不勝歡喜。此後她專心持齋，誦經不輟。活到六十一歲，無疾而終。她親眼看見兩位使者引她去見閻摩天子（Yama，掌管地獄的冥王）。天子問她：『你生前做了什麼善業？』王氏回答說：『我自幼持念《金剛般若經》，至今每日不缺。』天子賜予王氏金床，讓她在殿側坐下。她朗誦一遍《金剛經》，地獄的辛痠痛苦一時停息，所有在地獄受苦的人都普遍沾到恩惠。天子再次問王氏：『為何不誦咒？』她回答說：『世間沒有咒本。』於是天子命令鬼吏從藏中取出咒本交給王氏，囑咐說：『你回到陽間，輾轉流通此咒，切勿遺失。』天子又說：『王氏以後壽終，直接往生極樂世界，不再來這裡了。』

朱進士
宋朝（960-1279）蘇州府的朱進士，身穿儒服，從事科舉事業，平素不知佛法的妙處。一日閒遊，偶然來到虎丘寺，正趕上佛印禪師講演《金剛般若經》，講到『一切有為法，如夢幻泡影，如露亦如電，應作如是觀』。禪師逐一解說佛法大意。
【English Translation】 Thereupon, she printed and distributed one thousand copies of the Diamond Sutra, offered a vegetarian feast to one thousand monks, and recited the sutra one thousand times. She personally went to Tianning Temple to repent before the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), praying for protection so that both she and her child would be safe on the day of delivery. Her sincerity was quickly answered. After the vegetarian feast, she returned home. At midnight, she had a dream in which she saw a Vajra deity pointing a pestle at Wang's abdomen, causing unbearable pain. Upon waking, she found that she had given birth to two boys in bed, with perfect features that were pleasing to the eye. Relying on the merit of the Prajna Sutra, she was protected by the heavenly deities, and the retribution was so swift. Wang was overjoyed to have both mother and sons safe. Thereafter, she devoted herself to vegetarianism and recited the sutra without ceasing. She lived to the age of sixty-one and died suddenly without illness. She personally saw two messengers leading her to Yama (the King of Hell). The King asked her, 'What good deeds did you do in your lifetime?' Wang replied, 'Since childhood, I have recited the Vajra Prajna Sutra and have not missed a day until now.' The King bestowed a golden bed upon Wang and allowed her to sit beside the hall. As she recited the Diamond Sutra once, the bitterness and suffering of hell ceased for a moment, and all those suffering in hell universally received grace and benefit. The King asked Wang again, 'Why don't you recite the mantra?' She replied, 'There is no mantra text in the world.' Thereupon, the King ordered the ghost officers to retrieve the mantra text from the treasury and give it to Wang, instructing her, 'When you return to the mortal realm, circulate this mantra, and do not lose it.' The King also said, 'After Wang's life ends in the future, she will be reborn directly in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and will not come here again.'
The Mantra for Perfecting Omissions says:
Om (seed syllable) Hulu Hulu Sheye Qie Soho First, dedicate the merit to the true suchness reality, may our minds be in perfect accord. Second, dedicate the merit to the unsurpassed Buddha fruit of Bodhi, may our thoughts be perfectly fulfilled. Third, dedicate the merit to all sentient beings in the Dharma realm, may we be reborn together in the Pure Land.
Scholar Zhu
Scholar Zhu of Suzhou Prefecture in the Song Dynasty (960-1279), dressed in Confucian robes and engaged in the imperial examination, was usually unaware of the wonders of Buddhism. One day, while strolling leisurely, he happened to visit Tiger Hill Temple, where Chan Master Foyin was lecturing on the Diamond Prajna Sutra, reaching the passage 'All conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew and lightning; thus should you contemplate them.' The master explained the general meaning of the Buddha's teachings one by one.
。朱聞之甚喜。自念平日未嘗聞此佛法。深有理焉。惜乎圓滿。歡喜回家。次日午刻。忽睡去。夢一鬼吏。押五個罪人。朱亦隨後。約行二里許。見一大街。入巷門。掛青布簾人家。鬼吏揭簾。罪人皆入。至廚房。見灶上桶內有湯。罪人皆去吃。朱亦覺渴。方欲飲。被鬼吏喝住曰。聽佛法之人不得飲。因此驚覺。心疑此夢。信步行至大街。入巷。果有人家與夢中無異。朱扣門入。其家主翁見進士至。急忙相接。朱問。適來使宅廚房。有何動靜。主翁遂問家人。言廚下方養得六個小犬。內一枚死者。朱即驚惶流汗。自謂若不得聞佛法之力。遂入狗胎。化為畜類矣。因棄其舊習。專心持念 金剛般若經。寒暑不輟。壽至八十九歲。功行圓滿。於八月十五日。遍請諸山師德道友親朋相送。就升於後園樹枝梢上。說四句偈。與眾相別。端然立化去矣。偈曰 八十九年朱公兩手劈破虛空腳蹈浮雲粉碎立化菩提樹東。
揚琰
宋乾道七年。三月十三日。左中太夫龍圖閣待制提舉佑神觀揚琰。和王之子也。偶夢見父和王偕母夫人。龍圖省記考妣已棄諸孤。恐亟去。懇留為十月之款。和王許之。龍圖再拜。勸酒委曲如生之禮。龍圖泣。和王及夫人亦泣。龍圖稟考和王。尋常所修功德。燒獻錢焉人物。用得否。和王曰。用得
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：朱聞聽了非常高興。心想平日裡從未聽聞過這樣的佛法，其中道理深刻。只可惜沒有聽完全。他歡喜地回到家中。第二天中午，忽然睡著了，夢見一個鬼吏押著五個罪人，朱聞也跟在後面。大約走了二里多路，看見一條大街，進入一個巷子，是一家掛著青布簾子的人家。鬼吏掀開簾子，罪人都進去了。到了廚房，看見灶上的桶裡有湯，罪人都去喝。朱聞也覺得口渴，正要喝，被鬼吏喝住說：『聽過佛法的人不能喝。』因此驚醒。他心裡疑惑這個夢，就信步走到大街，進入那個巷子，果然有那家人家，和夢中一模一樣。朱聞敲門進去，那家的主人看見進士來了，急忙迎接。朱聞問：『剛才在您家廚房裡，有什麼動靜嗎？』主人就問家人，家人說廚房裡剛生了六隻小狗，其中一隻死了。朱聞立刻驚慌流汗，心想如果不是聽聞佛法的力量，就要墮入狗胎，變成畜生了。因此他拋棄了以前的習氣，專心持念《金剛般若經》，寒暑不斷。活到八十九歲，功德圓滿。在八月十五日，遍請各山寺廟的師父、有道德的朋友、親戚朋友來送行，就在後花園的樹枝上站立升天，說了四句偈語，與大家告別，端正地站著圓寂了。偈語說：『八十九年朱公，兩手劈開虛空，腳踩浮雲，粉身碎骨，立化在菩提樹東。』
揚琰
宋乾道七年（1171年）三月十三日，左中太夫、龍圖閣待制、提舉佑神觀揚琰，是和王的兒子。偶然夢見父親和王與母親夫人。揚琰回憶父母已經去世，擔心他們要匆匆離去，懇求他們留下到十個月。和王答應了他。揚琰再次拜見，勸酒，像對待活人一樣周到。揚琰哭泣，和王及夫人也哭泣。揚琰稟告父親和王，平常所修的功德，燒獻的錢財人物，可以用嗎？和王說：『可以用。』
【English Translation】 English version: Zhu Wen was very happy to hear this. He thought to himself that he had never heard such Buddhist teachings before, and the principles within were profound. It was a pity that he hadn't heard it completely. He happily returned home. The next day at noon, he suddenly fell asleep and dreamed of a ghost official escorting five criminals, with Zhu Wen following behind. After walking about two li (Chinese unit of distance, approximately 500 meters), he saw a large street and entered an alley, where there was a house with a blue cloth curtain. The ghost official lifted the curtain, and the criminals all went inside. They arrived at the kitchen and saw soup in a bucket on the stove, and the criminals all went to drink it. Zhu Wen also felt thirsty and was about to drink when the ghost official stopped him, saying, 'Those who have heard the Buddha's teachings must not drink.' He then woke up in shock. Doubting the dream, he walked to the main street and entered the alley, and indeed there was the house, exactly as in the dream. Zhu Wen knocked on the door, and the head of the household, seeing that it was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), hurriedly welcomed him. Zhu Wen asked, 'Just now, in your kitchen, was there any activity?' The head of the household then asked his family, who said that six puppies had just been born in the kitchen, and one of them had died. Zhu Wen was immediately alarmed and sweating, thinking that if it were not for the power of hearing the Buddha's teachings, he would have fallen into the womb of a dog and become a beast. Therefore, he abandoned his old habits and wholeheartedly recited the Vajra Prajna Sutra (Diamond Sutra), without ceasing through cold and heat. He lived to eighty-nine years old, and his merits were complete. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, he invited masters from various mountains, virtuous friends, and relatives to see him off, and he ascended to heaven standing on a tree branch in the back garden, reciting a four-line verse to bid farewell to everyone, and passed away peacefully while standing. The verse said: 'Eighty-nine years old Zhu Gong, with both hands splitting the void, stepping on floating clouds, shattering his body, and passing away standing east of the Bodhi tree.'
Yang Yan
In the seventh year of the Qiandao era of the Song Dynasty (1171 AD), on the thirteenth day of the third month, Yang Yan, the Left Senior Grand Master, Academician of the Dragon Diagram Pavilion awaiting orders, and Commissioner for the You Shen Temple, was the son of Prince He. He happened to dream of his father, Prince He, and his mother. Yang Yan recalled that his parents had already passed away and worried that they were about to leave quickly, so he pleaded with them to stay for ten months. Prince He agreed. Yang Yan bowed again, offering wine and treating them as if they were alive. Yang Yan wept, and Prince He and his wife also wept. Yang Yan asked his father, Prince He, whether the merits he usually cultivated and the money and goods he burned as offerings could be used. Prince He said, 'They can be used.'
。再問。釋道功果孰勝。和王云。一日但舉手翻覆。龍又問。世間經文孰勝。和王答。陰府深敬重 金剛般若波羅蜜經。汝若為吾印施得一千卷。最為第一。龍圖意謂欲冥器。即對云。容造以獻。和王曰。可。時以暮矣。頃刻有一急足從水中行來。報覆酉時有金字牌過楚州。龍圖再稟。大人今在何處。和王云。吾管地部。方眷戀間。忽然睡覺。不勝悲感。淚流枕蓆。遂念和王英爽不昧。神色如生。蓋和王為宋大將。歷百戰戡定禍亂。大功不一。受降不殺。全活甚眾。入扈殿垂四十年。未嘗妄刑一人。忠厚明恕。宜得功德之助。有所主宰。且晤人間所修功德。看誦 金剛經文。所焚冥器。陰府皆得用之。又知善惡報應。冥陽一趣。無間彼此。亦足以勸世之為善者也。龍圖恭睹 釋迦世尊降生之日。就禪福資寺。修設天地冥陽水陸大齋一會。及齋僧若干。如法修禮 金光明三德妙懺一七晝夜。命僧眾看誦 金剛般若波羅蜜經一藏。計五千四十八卷。用資二親冥福也。
承局周興
宋淳凞元年。楊州府承局周興。自幼日誦 金剛經一卷。公私不易其心。嘗承太守莫隊差興赍弊帛香燭壽禮約有一千餘貫。往行在送朝貴生日。行至瓜洲渡客店郁三家投宿。其夫妻見承局行李重貨。喚兄郁二謀意商量。夜至三更入房。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：龍圖（官名）又問：『佛家和道家的功德，哪一個更勝一籌？』和王（地府掌管者）說：『一天之內，（他們的功德）只是在舉手翻覆之間。』龍圖又問：『世間的經文，哪一個最為殊勝？』和王回答：『陰間深深地敬重《金剛般若波羅蜜經》。你如果為我印施一千卷，這是最為第一的功德。』龍圖心想他是想要冥器，就回答說：『可以為您製造並獻上。』和王說：『可以。』當時天色已晚。頃刻間有一個送信的從水中走來，報告說酉時（下午五點到七點）有金字牌經過楚州。龍圖再次稟告：『大人現在在哪裡？』和王說：『我掌管地部。』正在眷戀之時，龍圖忽然醒來，感到非常悲傷，淚水濕透了枕頭。於是他想到和王英明爽朗，神色如生。和王是宋朝的大將，經歷百戰平定禍亂，功勞很多，接受投降不殺戮，保全了很多人的性命，入宮護衛四十年，未曾隨意判刑一人，忠厚明恕，應該得到功德的幫助，有所主宰。而且他能看到人間所修的功德，看到人們誦讀《金剛經》的經文，所焚燒的冥器，陰間都能使用。又知道善惡報應，陰間和陽間是一樣的，沒有彼此的間隔，也足以勸誡世人行善。龍圖恭敬地在釋迦世尊降生的日子，就在禪福資寺，修設天地冥陽水陸大齋一會，以及齋僧若干，如法修禮《金光明三德妙懺》七個晝夜，命僧眾看誦《金剛般若波羅蜜經》一藏，總計五千四十八卷，用來資助父母在陰間的冥福。
承局周興
宋淳熙元年（1174年），楊州府的承局周興，從小每天誦讀《金剛經》一卷，公事私事都不改變他的心意。曾經承太守莫隊的差遣，周興攜帶弊帛香燭壽禮，大約有一千多貫，前往行在，送給朝廷貴人的生日。走到瓜洲渡口的客店郁三家投宿。郁三夫妻看到承局的行李貴重，就叫來哥哥郁二，商量謀害。
【English Translation】 English version: Then Longtu (an official title) asked, 'Which is superior, the merit of Buddhism or Taoism?' King He (ruler of the underworld) said, 'In a single day, it's merely a matter of raising and lowering hands.' Longtu then asked, 'Which scripture in the world is the most supreme?' King He replied, 'The underworld deeply reveres the Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra. If you were to print and donate a thousand copies for me, that would be the foremost merit.' Longtu, thinking he desired funerary objects, replied, 'I can have them made and presented to you.' King He said, 'Very well.' It was already late in the day. In a short while, a messenger came running from the water, reporting that a golden decree would pass through Chuzhou at You time (5-7 PM). Longtu inquired again, 'Where is Your Excellency now?' King He said, 'I oversee the earth department.' While still reminiscing, Longtu suddenly awoke, feeling immense sorrow, tears soaking his pillow. He then thought of King He's brilliance and clarity, his expression lifelike. King He was a great general of the Song Dynasty, who had fought countless battles to quell rebellions, achieving numerous merits. He accepted surrenders without killing, saving many lives. He served in the palace for forty years, never unjustly punishing a single person. His loyalty, kindness, and leniency deserved the assistance of merit, allowing him to preside over something. Moreover, he could see the merits cultivated in the human world, see people reciting the Diamond Sutra, and the funerary objects burned, all of which could be used in the underworld. He also knew that karmic retribution for good and evil, the underworld and the living world are the same, without separation, which is enough to encourage people to do good. On the day of Shakyamuni Buddha's (釋迦世尊) birth, Longtu respectfully arranged a grand Water and Land Dharma Assembly (水陸大齋) for both the living and the deceased at Chanfu Zisi Temple (禪福資寺), as well as offerings to monks, and ritually performed the Golden Light Sutra's Three Virtues Wonderful Repentance (金光明三德妙懺) for seven days and nights, ordering the monks to recite the Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra (金剛般若波羅蜜經) a complete collection, totaling five thousand and forty-eight scrolls, to benefit his parents in the underworld.
Chengju Zhou Xing (承局周興)
In the first year of Chunxi (淳熙) of the Song Dynasty (1174 AD), Zhou Xing (周興), a Chengju (承局) of Yangzhou Prefecture (楊州府), had recited a scroll of the Diamond Sutra (金剛經) daily since childhood, never wavering in his commitment whether for public or private matters. Once, he was entrusted by Prefect Mo Dui (莫隊) to carry gifts of silk, candles, and birthday presents worth over a thousand strings of cash to the capital to deliver to a noble on his birthday. Arriving at the Yusan (郁三) family's inn at Guazhou Ferry (瓜洲渡口), he lodged there. Yusan and his wife, seeing the Chengju's valuable luggage, called Yuer (郁二), Yusan's brother, to discuss a plot.

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 郭承思 紹興府的寄居者郭承思，新被任命為溫州參軍。將要前往赴任時，親自到天寧寺佛菩薩像前，焚香發願說：『我將帶領全家九口人前往溫州赴任。第一愿是到任后，全家不吃牛肉。第二愿是掌權處理政事時，常行方便，體恤孤寡貧困的人，救濟別人的急難，解救別人的危難。等到考評期滿還鄉時，我發誓要捨出財物，書寫《金剛般若經》一卷，恭敬地放入佛殿，永遠供養。』後來他三次考評期滿，與同僚官司法元珍迪功一起買船渡海還鄉。參軍的家眷住在船的前艙，司法住在後艙。船行駛到紹興府的邊界時，忽然遇到狂風巨浪，四面一片昏暗，眾人都驚恐萬分。只見海里的鬼神，將船鑿為兩段。郭承思在前艙，風帆順風，直接到達岸邊。司法在後艙，人口和行李全部沉入海中。這是因為司法在任職時徇私舞弊，顛倒黑白，以致招來這樣的報應。郭參軍心地善良，奉公守法，發誓要救人，又承蒙《金剛般若經》的力量救護，平安地返回家鄉。善惡報應，就像指著手掌一樣清楚。見到和聽到這件事的人，沒有不感到驚歎的。 趙璧 泗州的書生趙璧，赴京參加科舉考試。他的妻子已經去世。後來趙璧考中進士還鄉，離家還有十里左右的路程時，似夢非夢地看見已故的妻子在路旁，非常悲切地哀告說：『想我活著的時候，殺害了很多生命。每當螃蟹上市的時候，就買來做醉蟹，恣意地吃。自從死後，被閻摩天子派人押送到蟹山，被群蟹鉗住眼睛和全身，流血不止，日夜受苦。而且生前不應該吐掉喝剩的酒和殘茶，陰間積攢了五石九斗七升五合的量，使我陽壽先減少十二年。又受了二十一天地獄的苦難。再等閻王派人來，如果獄吏監管我賣酒，以等待…』

As he was about to take office, he personally went to the Tianning Temple and, before the Buddha and Bodhisattva images, burned incense and made a vow, saying: 'I will take my family of nine to Wenzhou to take office. My first vow is that after arriving, my whole family will not eat beef. My second vow is that when I am in power and handling government affairs, I will always act with expediency, show compassion for the lonely and poor, relieve others' urgent needs, and rescue others from danger. When the evaluation period is over and I return home, I vow to donate wealth and write a volume of the Diamond Sutra (金剛般若經 Jīngāng Bōrě Jīng), respectfully place it in the Buddha hall, and offer it forever.' Later, after completing three evaluation periods, he and his colleague, Judicial Officer Yuan Zhen Digong, bought a boat together to cross the sea and return home. The military advisor's family lived in the front cabin of the boat, and the judicial officer lived in the rear cabin. When the boat reached the boundary of Shaoxing Prefecture, it suddenly encountered a violent storm, and darkness enveloped all sides, causing everyone to panic. They saw sea ghosts and gods cutting the boat into two sections. Guo Chengsi, in the front cabin, had favorable winds and sailed directly to the shore. The judicial officer, in the rear cabin, had all his people and luggage sink into the sea. This was because the judicial officer had been corrupt and perverted justice during his tenure, leading to this retribution. Military Advisor Guo Chengsi had a kind heart, was law-abiding, vowed to save people, and was protected by the power of the Diamond Sutra, allowing him to return home safely. The retribution of good and evil is as clear as pointing to the palm of one's hand. Those who saw and heard this could not help but be amazed. Zhao Bi Zhao Bi, a scholar from Sizhou, went to the capital to take the imperial examination. His wife had already passed away. Later, Zhao Bi passed the examination and returned home. When he was about ten miles away from home, he saw his deceased wife by the roadside in a dreamlike state, pleading very sorrowfully, saying: 'When I was alive, I killed many living beings. Every time crabs were available, I would buy them to make drunken crabs and eat them wantonly. Since my death, I have been sent by Yama (閻摩 Yánmó), the King of Hell, to Crab Mountain, where swarms of crabs pinch my eyes and body, causing me to bleed and suffer day and night. Moreover, I should not have spat out leftover wine and tea, which accumulated to five shi (石 dàn), nine dou (斗 dǒu), seven sheng (升 shēng), and five he (合 gě) in the underworld, causing my lifespan to be reduced by twelve years. I also suffered in hell for twenty-one days. Now, Yama will send someone again, and if the prison guard supervises me to sell wine, to wait for...'
無常鬼追到亡魂。俱勒來買酒。卻就奴身上刺血應賣。升合務要補填原數足日。別受地獄。今聞夫主及第榮歸。特來哀告。陰府深敬書寫 金剛般若經。乞將奴房奩變賣。若為奴寫得七卷。仗此般若之功。實可救㧞地獄之苦。其夫允諾。才到家。即便舍財。請僧寫經。方了兩卷。一日備祭祀禮。為妻上墳。方到暮側。忽見一老翁。言。吾是小神土地。汝妻承寫經功德。昨日午時。準閻摩王來。上升天界。地下不復見矣。豈不見佛印禪師戒殺文曰。鱗甲羽毛諸品類。眾生與佛心無二。只為當時錯用心。致使今生頭角異。水中游。林里戲。何忍將來充日計。磨刀煮火或研齏。口不能言眼還覷。或槌榼。或刀刺。牽入鑊湯深可畏。追燖毛羽括皮鱗。刮脊剜心猶吐氣。美君喉。夸好味。勸子勸妻言俊利。只知恣性縱無明。不懼陰司毫髮記。命才終。冤對至。面睹閻王爭敢諱。從頭一一報無差。爐炭鑊湯何處避。勸賢豪。須戒忌。莫把眾生當容易。食他一臠臠還他。古聖賢言終不偽。戒殺兼能買放生。免入阿鼻無間地。又滿庭芳詞。鱗甲何多。羽毛無數。悟來佛性。皆同世人。何事剛受口頭肥。痛把眾生剖割刀。頭轉鮮血飛紅。零炮碎炙。不忍見渠。儂喉嚨才咽罷。龍肝鳳髓。畢竟無蹤。謾羸得。生前夭壽多兇。奉勸世人省悟。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 無常鬼追趕著亡魂。俱勒前來買酒，卻要在奴婢身上刺血來應付賣酒的要求，升和合都要補足原來的數量。否則將要受到地獄的懲罰。現在聽說夫君金榜題名，榮耀歸來，特來哀求。陰間地府也深深敬重書寫《金剛般若經》的功德，希望能將奴婢的嫁妝變賣，如果能為奴婢抄寫七卷經書，憑藉這《般若經》的功德，確實可以救拔地獄的苦難。她的丈夫答應了。剛一到家，就立刻拿出錢財，請僧人抄寫經書。才抄寫了兩卷，有一天準備了祭祀的禮儀，為妻子上墳。剛到傍晚時分，忽然見到一位老翁，說：『我是本地的小神土地。你的妻子承蒙抄寫經書的功德，昨天午時，閻摩王親自批準，已經升到天界，地下再也見不到了。』難道你沒看到佛印禪師的戒殺文嗎？上面說：『有鱗甲羽毛的各種生物，眾生與佛的心性沒有兩樣。只因爲當時用錯了心，才導致今生頭角各異。在水中游動，在林中嬉戲，怎麼忍心將來成為每日的盤中餐？磨刀煮火或者研成肉泥，口不能言，眼睛還在看著。或者用錘敲打，或者用刀刺，牽入滾燙的鍋中，實在可怕。追著燒毛褪羽，刮皮剔鱗，刮脊剜心還在吐氣。美化你的喉嚨，誇耀味道好，勸兒子勸妻子說味道鮮美。只知道放縱慾望，任憑無明，不怕陰間地府毫髮不差地記錄。性命才終結，冤家就來對質，面對閻王怎敢隱瞞？從頭到尾一一報應，沒有絲毫差錯，爐炭鑊湯哪裡能躲避？勸告賢人豪傑，務必要戒殺，不要把眾生當成容易的事。吃他一塊肉，就要還他一塊肉，古代聖賢的話終究不假。戒殺並且能夠買物放生，就能免入阿鼻無間地。』還有《滿庭芳》詞中說：『有鱗甲的何其多，有羽毛的數不勝數，覺悟到佛性，都和世人一樣。為何剛滿足口腹之慾，就忍痛把眾生用刀剖割。頭顱轉動鮮血飛濺，零碎炮製炙烤。不忍心看到它們，我的喉嚨才剛嚥下，龍肝鳳髓，畢竟無影無蹤。白白落得，生前夭折多兇。奉勸世人醒悟吧！』
【English Translation】 English version: The impermanence ghost chased after the departed soul. Julai came to buy wine, but had to draw blood from the slave to meet the sale requirement, with the 'sheng' (a unit of volume) and 'he' (another unit of volume) needing to be filled to the original amount. Otherwise, they would be subjected to hell. Now hearing that her husband had passed the imperial examination with honors and returned, she came to plead. The underworld deeply respects the merit of writing the Diamond Sutra (Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra). She hoped to sell the slave's dowry, and if seven volumes of the sutra could be copied for the slave, relying on the merit of this Prajna (wisdom), it could indeed save her from the suffering of hell. Her husband agreed. As soon as he arrived home, he immediately took out money to hire monks to copy the sutra. Only two volumes had been copied when one day, he prepared sacrificial offerings and went to his wife's grave. Just as dusk approached, he suddenly saw an old man who said, 'I am the local earth deity. Your wife, thanks to the merit of copying the sutra, was personally approved by Yama (the King of Hell) yesterday at noon and has ascended to the heavens. She will no longer be seen in the underworld.' Haven't you seen Zen Master Foyin's (Song dynasty monk) text on abstaining from killing? It says: 'All kinds of creatures with scales and feathers, sentient beings and the Buddha have the same nature. It is only because of using the mind wrongly at that time that they have different heads and horns in this life. Swimming in the water, playing in the forest, how can you bear to make them your daily meals? Grinding knives, cooking fires, or grinding into meat paste, unable to speak, their eyes still watch. Either hammered or stabbed with a knife, dragged into the boiling pot, it is truly terrifying. Chasing after burning hair and plucking feathers, scraping skin and removing scales, scraping the spine and gouging the heart, they still exhale. Beautifying your throat, boasting of good taste, advising sons and advising wives to say it is delicious. Only knowing to indulge desires, indulging in ignorance, not fearing that the underworld records everything without error. When life ends, enemies come to confront, facing Yama, how dare you hide? Reporting everything from beginning to end without any difference, where can you escape from the charcoal furnace and boiling pot? Advise virtuous heroes, be sure to abstain from killing, do not take sentient beings lightly. Eat one piece of their flesh, you must return one piece of flesh, the words of the ancient sages are ultimately not false. Abstaining from killing and being able to buy and release living beings can avoid entering Avici (the lowest level of hell), the uninterrupted hell.' Also, in the Mantin Fang (a type of ci poetry) it says: 'How many have scales, countless have feathers, realizing the Buddha-nature, all are the same as people. Why, just to satisfy the appetite, do you painfully dissect sentient beings with knives. Heads turn, fresh blood splatters, scattered and roasted. Unable to bear to see them, my throat has just swallowed, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, after all, without a trace. In vain, one gains premature death and many misfortunes in life. I advise the people of the world to awaken!'

李玄宗女
荊州江陵縣李玄宗女。年十三歲時。夢見一梵僧。謂女曰。汝有善根。何不持念 金剛經。又云。世間若有男子女人。每日凈心能誦一卷。陽間增延壽算。百年命終。即生天界。若能究竟般若。宜到涅槃彼岸。或有看經。雖未圓就。死入陰府。不能拘錄。即判生富貴之家。受諸勝報。玄宗女依僧之囑。日誦三卷。年二十四歲。不願有家。忽患傷寒。三日而卒。有二使者。引見閻摩天子。照勘其女無罪。及見女子頭上有佛顯現。王云。此女既有般若之功。即判還魂。臨放時。王囑曰。汝父有仇仇。遂使陽間。先減二紀之壽。不久追入陰司對證。因汝父好將活魚切鲙。今有魚七千餘頭。狀訴索命。汝若不信。歸陽間問父。每夜夢見落在網中。日日頭痛。此是魚求報也。女得還魂。以陰府事。逐一白父。其父聞之。驚惶無措。遂同女往天寧寺大佛殿內。齋僧百員。發願斷除葷酒。手寫 金剛般若經四十九卷。寫經已畢。玄宗忽一夜夢見有數百青衣童子。俱拜玄宗。口稱我等昔日被君殺戮。各經陰府欣其冤。索君性命。今蒙寫經功德。我等咸承善力。出離三塗苦趣。各得往生善道。君既釋冤。陰司復還原壽。又添遐算。玄宗聞之。不勝欣喜。自爾持誦
【現代漢語翻譯】 莫要放縱恣意，冒犯惱怒閻王，輪迴的本來面目，轉眼之間就會改變。
李玄宗之女
荊州江陵縣的李玄宗之女，十三歲時，夢見一位梵僧，對她說：『你具有善根，為何不持誦《金剛經》（Vajra-sūtra）？』又說：『世間若有男子女人，每日以清凈之心誦讀一卷，在陽間可以增延壽命，百年命終后，便可生到天界。若能究竟般若（Prajna），適宜到達涅槃（Nirvana）的彼岸。或者有人看經，即使尚未圓滿成就，死後進入陰府，也不能被拘禁記錄，會被判投生到富貴之家，享受各種殊勝的福報。』李玄宗之女遵照梵僧的囑咐，每日誦讀三卷。二十四歲時，不願嫁人。忽然得了傷寒，三日後去世。有兩位使者，引她去見閻摩天子（Yama），查驗后發現她沒有罪過，並且看到女子頭上有佛顯現。閻王說：『此女既然有般若的功德，就判她還魂。』臨放她走時，閻王囑咐說：『你的父親有冤仇，所以派你到陽間，先減去二十四年的壽命，不久就會被追入陰司對質。因為你父親喜歡將活魚切成魚膾，現在有七千多條魚，狀告索命。你若不信，回到陽間問你的父親，是否每夜夢見自己落在網中，日日頭痛，這就是魚在求報應。』女子還魂后，將陰府的事情，一一告訴了父親。她的父親聽了，驚慌失措，於是同女兒前往天寧寺大佛殿內，齋僧一百位，發願斷除葷腥酒肉，手寫《金剛般若經》（Vajra-sūtra）四十九卷。寫經完畢后，李玄宗忽然一夜夢見有數百位青衣童子，都向李玄宗叩拜，口稱：『我們昔日被您殺戮，各經陰府欣其冤，索君性命。今蒙寫經功德，我等咸承善力，出離三塗苦趣，各得往生善道。』您既然已經化解了冤仇，陰司恢復了您原有的壽命，又增添了壽命。李玄宗聽了，非常高興，從此堅持持誦。
【English Translation】 Do not be willful and unrestrained, offending and annoying Yama (Lord of Death). The original face of reincarnation changes in the blink of an eye.
Daughter of Li Xuanzong
The daughter of Li Xuanzong of Jiangling County, Jingzhou, at the age of thirteen, dreamed of a Brahman monk who said to her: 'You have good roots, why not uphold and recite the Vajra-sūtra (Diamond Sutra)?' He also said, 'If there are men and women in the world who can recite one chapter daily with a pure heart, they can increase their lifespan in the mortal realm. After a hundred years, when their life ends, they will be born in the heavens. If one can ultimately understand Prajna (wisdom), it is appropriate to reach the other shore of Nirvana (liberation). Or if someone reads the scriptures, even if they have not yet achieved complete accomplishment, after death, entering the underworld, they cannot be detained and recorded, and they will be judged to be born into wealthy families, enjoying all kinds of excellent rewards.' The daughter of Xuanzong followed the monk's instructions and recited three chapters daily. At the age of twenty-four, she did not wish to marry. Suddenly, she suffered from typhoid fever and died three days later. Two messengers led her to see Yama (Lord of Death), who examined her and found her innocent, and saw a Buddha manifest above the woman's head. The King said, 'Since this woman has the merit of Prajna, she should be judged to return to life.' As he was about to release her, the King instructed, 'Your father has an enemy, so I sent you to the mortal realm, first reducing your lifespan by twenty-four years, and soon you will be summoned to the underworld for confrontation. Because your father likes to cut live fish into sashimi, there are now more than seven thousand fish suing for their lives. If you don't believe it, go back to the mortal realm and ask your father if he dreams every night of falling into a net and having headaches every day. This is the fish seeking retribution.' After the woman returned to life, she told her father about the affairs of the underworld one by one. Her father was shocked and at a loss, so he went with his daughter to the Great Buddha Hall of Tianning Temple, offered a vegetarian feast to a hundred monks, vowed to abstain from meat and alcohol, and hand-copied forty-nine volumes of the Vajra Prajna Sutra (Diamond Sutra). After the copying of the scriptures was completed, Xuanzong suddenly dreamed one night of hundreds of boys in green clothes, all bowing to Xuanzong, saying, 'We were killed by you in the past, and each of us in the underworld rejoiced in our grievances, demanding your life. Now, thanks to the merit of copying the scriptures, we all receive the power of goodness, escape the suffering of the three evil realms, and each obtain rebirth in a good path.' Since you have resolved the grievances, the underworld has restored your original lifespan and added to your longevity.' Xuanzong was overjoyed upon hearing this and has since persisted in upholding and reciting.
經文不輟。為善不廢。壽至百二十歲。無疾索浴告終。(出雜俎記)。

馮察院日持誦 金剛般若經三卷。年至二十八歲。一日為國事。修劄具奏至帝。當夜四更。忽見兩使者追入冥府。引見閻摩天子。來曰。汝壽合至七十九。官至樞府。緣汝奏劄。於國損民。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 經文不停止，行善不停止。壽命達到一百二十歲，沒有疾病，洗浴后安詳去世。（出自《雜俎記》） 王迪功 縣尉王迪功，喜歡用鷹打獵，殺害眾生為樂。他有個妻子在家，每天誦讀《金剛經》。一天，妻子正在念經，看見丈夫打獵歸來。妻子苦苦勸說丈夫，從《持經功德分》第十五開始，一同唸誦這一分。王迪功不肯唸完一卷，竟然走進廚房，烹飪殺害動物的生命，恣意飲酒宴樂。五年後，王迪功忽然得了中風，臥床不起，一年多也不見好轉。一天，他自己看見兩個使者來追他，壽命將盡而死。只有心頭還有一口氣。兩個使者引他去見閻摩天子（掌管地獄的冥王）。閻摩天子怒斥王迪功說：『你既然享受朝廷的俸祿，為什麼不在福報上增加修行，反而喜歡殺害生命，減少壽命，斷絕俸祿？』命令獄卒把他驅趕到鑊湯（沸水）之中。鬼吏查閱簿籍，稟告閻摩天子說：『這個人雖然有殺業，但善業的記錄重如山。他生前曾經被他的妻子勸說唸誦《金剛經》一分，功德雖然像一片紙，卻比他的惡行記錄還要重，應該免除他的罪過，放他還回陽間。』閻摩天子說：『就從鑊湯里取一勺湯，淋在他的背上，然後放他還陽。』因此王迪功得以再次活過來，後來患了背疽，遍體潰爛，疼痛難忍，各種藥物都不能治好。一天，他讓妻子在佛前代替他發願說：『今後發誓不再殺生，等病痊癒之日，願意親手書寫《金剛經》，齋戒素食，受持經典。』忽然一夜夢見一個僧人，用手在他的背上摩了三圈。到天亮一看，他的背疽已經痊癒，更沒有留下任何痕跡。善惡的報應就是這樣。（出自《報應記》） 馮察院 馮察院每天持誦《金剛般若經》三卷。到二十八歲時，一天爲了國家大事，撰寫奏章上奏給皇帝。當天夜裡四更時分，忽然看見兩個使者追他進入冥府，引他去見閻摩天子。閻摩天子說：『你的壽命本應到七十九歲，官職做到樞密院。因為你所上的奏章，對國家有害，對百姓不利。
【English Translation】 English version The recitation of scriptures should not cease, and doing good should not be abandoned. To live to the age of one hundred and twenty years, without illness, to bathe and peacefully pass away. (From 'Miscellaneous Records') Wang Digong Wang Digong, a county sheriff, enjoyed hunting with hawks and killing living beings for pleasure. He had a wife at home who recited the Diamond Sutra daily. One day, as his wife was reciting the sutra, she saw her husband returning from hunting. His wife earnestly勸說勸說 him to recite the fifteenth section, 'Merits of Upholding the Sutra,' together. Wang Digong refused to finish the entire scroll and instead went into the kitchen to cook and kill animals, indulging in drinking and feasting. Five years later, Wang Digong suddenly suffered a stroke and was bedridden for over a year without improvement. One day, he saw two messengers coming to take him away, and he died with his life exhausted, with only a breath remaining in his heart. The two messengers led him to see Yama, the King of the Underworld. Yama angrily rebuked Wang Digong, saying, 'Since you enjoyed the court's俸祿, why did you not cultivate more merit? Instead, you delighted in killing living beings, reducing your lifespan and cutting off your俸祿.' He ordered the prison guards to drive him into the cauldron of boiling water. The ghost official checked the records and reported to the king, 'Although this person has committed acts of killing, his record of good deeds is as heavy as a mountain. In his lifetime, he was once persuaded by his wife to recite one section of the Diamond Sutra. Although the merit is like a single piece of paper, it outweighs his record of evil deeds. He should be pardoned and allowed to return to the world of the living.' Yama said, 'Take a ladle of soup from the cauldron and pour it on his back, then release him back to the world of the living.' Thus, Wang Digong was able to live again. Later, he suffered from carbuncles on his back, which festered all over his body, causing unbearable pain that no medicine could cure. One day, he asked his wife to make a vow on his behalf before the Buddha, saying, 'From now on, I vow never to kill living beings again. When I recover from my illness, I will personally transcribe the Diamond Sutra, observe齋戒 and vegetarianism, and uphold the scriptures.' Suddenly, one night, he dreamed of a monk who rubbed his back three times with his hand. When he looked at his back in the morning, the carbuncles had healed completely, leaving no trace. Such is the retribution of good and evil. (From 'Records of Retribution') Feng Inspector Feng Inspector recited three volumes of the Diamond Prajna Sutra daily. At the age of twenty-eight, one day, for matters of state, he drafted a memorial to the emperor. That night, at the fourth watch, he suddenly saw two messengers chasing him into the underworld, leading him to see Yama, the King of the Underworld. Yama said, 'Your lifespan should have been seventy-nine years, and your official position should have reached the Privy Council. Because of the memorial you submitted, it is harmful to the country and detrimental to the people.'
汝當絕祿除算。馮驚愕。俯伏告曰。臣既陽壽未盡。乞賜再生。誓當畢世持經。常行陰騭。不造罪僭。有犯天律。王憫其迴心向善。放回陽間。再三誡諭曰。凡掌權政。可制簿一面。日間作事。夜必書之。既不可書。必不可作。此延年之術也。才舉一善。專民恤物。增延福壽。若用刻剝之心。上帝惡之。則促壽減祿。馮得再生。日行方便。利國施民。陰德日著。壽至九十八。官拜丞相。忽一日臥疾。有第九子方十一歲。出廳前嬉戲。見無數牛頭馬面獄卒。子問諸鬼曰。何緣來此。鬼吏答曰。我等特來迎接閻摩天子。其子驚惶。哭入堂內。以所見白父。亟相笑而撫掌曰。生為上柱國。死作閻摩王。是吾職也。頌曰。休將鉛筆逞文筆。回禮空王樂出家。已發一心歸大道。不須六賊苦攔遮。勸同妻妾終成疾。位極公卿一似花。從此晚年憑惠劍。愿將名字寄丹霞。索浴更朝衣坐化。又頌曰。大洋海里打鼓。須彌頂上聞鐘。業鏡將來。爍破翻身。透出虛空。
姜學生
送州姜學生。村居二十三歲。暴疾夭亡。見二使者追魂。引見閻摩天子。來曰。汝前身修福。注今生壽年八十二歲。丁丑科赴試得舉。官至公卿。汝不合殺牛食肉。有犯天律。準玉帝敕。令汝減算絕祿。汝既讀書。豈不聞海州雷雨七日七夜。天降石鼓。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 『你應該被剝奪俸祿，削減壽命。』馮（人名）驚恐萬分，俯伏在地稟告說：『臣的陽壽尚未 खत्म，乞求能賜予再生機會，我發誓終生持誦佛經，經常行善積德，不做任何犯罪僭越之事，如有違犯天條，甘願受罰。』閻摩天子（Yama，掌管地獄的神）憐憫他迴心向善，便放他回到陽間，再三告誡他說：『凡是掌管權政的人，可以製作一個簿子，白天做的事情，晚上必須記錄下來。如果不能記錄，就一定不要做。這是延年益壽的方法。』只要做一件善事，關心百姓，體恤民情，就能增加福壽。如果使用刻薄的心腸，上帝會厭惡他，就會縮短壽命，減少俸祿。』馮（人名）得到重生的機會，每天行方便之事，利國利民，陰德日益顯著，壽命活到九十八歲，官拜丞相。忽然有一天臥病在床，他的第九個兒子才十一歲，在廳前玩耍，看見無數牛頭馬面（Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons，地獄中的鬼卒）的獄卒。兒子問眾鬼說：『你們為何來此？』鬼吏回答說：『我們奉命前來迎接閻摩天子（Yama，掌管地獄的神）。』他的兒子驚慌失措，哭著跑進堂內，將所見到的情景告訴父親。丞相笑著拍手說：『活著的時候是上柱國，死後做閻摩王（Yama，掌管地獄的神），這是我的職責啊。』 頌曰：不要將鉛筆當成文筆來炫耀，迴歸佛門空王才是真正的快樂。一旦發心歸向大道，就不需要防備六賊（Six Robbers，佛教用語，指色、聲、香、味、觸、法六種外在誘惑）的阻攔。勸說妻妾一同修行最終也能擺脫疾病，即使位極公卿也像花朵一樣轉瞬即逝。從此以後晚年憑藉智慧之劍，愿將名字寄託在丹霞山（Danxia Mountain，佛教名山）。沐浴更衣後坐化圓寂。 又頌曰：在大洋海里敲鼓，在須彌山（Mount Sumeru，佛教中的聖山）頂上也能聽到鐘聲。業鏡（Karma Mirror，佛教用語，反映個人業力的鏡子）照來，照破翻身，透出虛空。
姜學生（人名） 送州（Songzhou，地名）的姜學生（人名），居住在鄉村，二十三歲時因突發疾病夭折。他看見兩個使者追趕他的魂魄，引他去見閻摩天子（Yama，掌管地獄的神）。閻摩天子（Yama，掌管地獄的神）說：『你前世修福，註定今生能活到八十二歲，在丁丑科（丁丑年，干支紀年）的科舉考試中考中舉人，官至公卿。你不應該殺牛吃肉，違犯了天條。根據玉帝（Jade Emperor，道教中的最高神）的旨意，判你減壽削祿。你既然讀書，難道沒有聽說過海州（Haizhou，地名）連續下了七天七夜的雷雨，天降石鼓的事情嗎？』
【English Translation】 English version: 'You should have your emolument revoked and your lifespan reduced.' Feng (personal name) was terrified and prostrated himself, reporting, 'This subject's allotted lifespan is not yet exhausted. I beg for the grace of rebirth. I vow to uphold the scriptures for the rest of my life, constantly perform good deeds in secret, and commit no crimes or transgressions. If I violate heavenly laws, I will accept the punishment.' Yama, the Heavenly King (Yama, the god who rules hell), took pity on his repentance and allowed him to return to the mortal realm, repeatedly admonishing him, 'All those who hold power and authority can create a ledger. What you do during the day, you must record at night. If you cannot record it, you must not do it. This is the art of prolonging life.' As long as you do one good deed, care for the people, and show compassion for their plight, you can increase your blessings and longevity. If you use a harsh and exploitative heart, the Supreme God will detest you, and it will shorten your life and reduce your emolument.' Feng (personal name) obtained the opportunity for rebirth and performed acts of convenience every day, benefiting the country and the people. His hidden virtues became increasingly apparent, and he lived to the age of ninety-eight, holding the official position of Prime Minister. Suddenly, one day, he fell ill in bed. His ninth son, who was only eleven years old, was playing in front of the hall and saw countless Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons (Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, jailers in hell). The son asked the demons, 'Why have you come here?' The demon official replied, 'We have been specially sent to welcome Yama, the Heavenly King (Yama, the god who rules hell).' His son was terrified and ran crying into the hall, telling his father what he had seen. The Prime Minister laughed and clapped his hands, saying, 'In life, I was a pillar of the state; in death, I will be Yama, the King (Yama, the god who rules hell). This is my duty.' A verse says: Do not flaunt your literary talent with a pencil; returning to the Empty King (Śūnyatā, Buddhist term for emptiness) of Buddhism is true joy. Once you have resolved to return to the Great Path, you do not need to guard against the obstruction of the Six Robbers (Six Robbers, Buddhist term referring to the six external temptations of sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma). Persuading your wives and concubines to cultivate together can ultimately free you from illness. Even if you reach the highest rank of nobility, it is like a flower, fleeting and transient. From now on, rely on the sword of wisdom in your later years, and may your name be entrusted to Danxia Mountain (Danxia Mountain, a famous Buddhist mountain). After bathing and changing clothes, he sat in meditation and passed away. Another verse says: Striking a drum in the vast ocean, hearing a bell on the summit of Mount Sumeru (Mount Sumeru, the sacred mountain in Buddhism). When the Karma Mirror (Karma Mirror, Buddhist term, a mirror reflecting personal karma) shines, it shatters and breaks through, revealing the void.
Jiang Xuesheng (personal name) Jiang Xuesheng (personal name) of Songzhou (Songzhou, place name), who lived in a village, died prematurely at the age of twenty-three due to a sudden illness. He saw two messengers chasing his soul and leading him to see Yama, the Heavenly King (Yama, the god who rules hell). Yama, the Heavenly King (Yama, the god who rules hell), said, 'You cultivated blessings in your previous life, and it was destined that you would live to eighty-two years in this life, pass the imperial examination in the Dingchou year (Dingchou year, year in the sexagenary cycle), and become a high-ranking official. You should not have killed and eaten cattle, violating heavenly laws. According to the decree of the Jade Emperor (Jade Emperor, the highest god in Taoism), you are sentenced to reduced lifespan and revoked emolument. Since you have studied, have you not heard of the seven days and seven nights of thunder and rain in Haizhou (Haizhou, place name), and the stone drum that fell from the sky?'
記曰。萬物唯心造。為牛最苦辛。君看橫死者。儘是食牛人。昔有進士庾信。殺牛食肉。恃文章聰明。譭謗三寶。自死之後。受諸地獄。今變為烏龜。王來鬼吏牽烏龜至殿下。令姜學生看。其龜有九頭。頭目並皆流血。苦痛不已。此即庾信也。有一鬼吏語生曰。汝急告天子。改惡修善。乞賜還魂。若判入地獄。無有出期。生曰。有何門路。愿求指教。鬼吏曰。陰府深敬重書寫受持 妙法蓮花經 金剛般若經。汝若發心。即獲脫免。得此遂告天子曰。念生雙親垂老。別無兄弟侍養處世。年幼不知罪福。致犯重罪。雖讀庾信文詞。卻不曾譭謗佛僧。既陽壽未終。乞賜放回陽間。孝養父母。發願書寫 妙法蓮花經 金剛般若經。畢世食素。精勤受持。天子憫其迴心。改惡從善。責放還魂。天子誡曰。汝回陽間。孝養父母。恭敬三寶。誦持經典。修行善業。若再違犯。卒入黃泉。千佛出世。不通懺悔。姜學生既得還魂。親識鄰里。咸來詢問其由。無不慚愧。改過自新矣。
霍參軍
霍參軍誦持金剛經。忽見廳下地裂。涌出包龍圖。稱吾是速報司。參軍問速報司曰。報惡不報善。善者受飢寒。惡者豐衣飯。清者難度日。濁者多榮變。孝順多辛苦。五逆人愛見。速報司唯當靈不靈。唯當現不現。既靈須顯靈。既現須教
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 書中記載：『萬物都是由心所創造的。作為牛是最為辛苦的。你看看那些橫死的人，都是吃牛肉的人。』從前有個進士叫庾信（人名），殺牛吃肉，仗著自己文章寫得好，聰明，就譭謗佛法僧三寶（佛教用語，指佛、法、僧）。他死後，下了地獄，現在變成了一隻烏龜。閻羅王派鬼吏牽著烏龜到殿下，讓姜學生看。那烏龜有九個頭，頭和眼睛都在流血，痛苦不堪。這就是庾信。一個鬼吏對姜學生說：『你趕快告訴天子（閻羅王），改惡從善，請求賜予還魂。如果判入地獄，就沒有出來的日子了。』姜學生說：『有什麼門路可以求得指教？』鬼吏說：『陰間府深深地敬重書寫受持《妙法蓮華經》（佛教經典名）、《金剛般若經》（佛教經典名）。你如果發心，就能獲得解脫。』 姜學生得到這些話后，就告訴天子說：『念及我的雙親年老，又沒有其他兄弟可以侍奉，我年幼無知，犯下了重罪。雖然讀過庾信的文章，卻不曾譭謗佛法僧。既然陽壽未盡，乞求天子放我回陽間，孝養父母，發願書寫《妙法蓮華經》、《金剛般若經》，終身吃素，精勤受持。』天子憐憫他回心轉意，改惡從善，就責令放他還魂。天子告誡他說：『你回到陽間，要孝養父母，恭敬三寶，誦持經典，修行善業。如果再犯，死後就會下黃泉，即使千佛出世，也無法懺悔。』姜學生還魂后，親戚鄰里都來詢問緣由，無不慚愧，改過自新。
霍參軍 霍參軍誦持《金剛經》（佛教經典名），忽然看見廳堂下地面裂開，涌出包龍圖（人名）。包龍圖說：『我是速報司。』參軍問速報司說：『報應惡事卻不報應善事，善良的人受飢寒，作惡的人卻豐衣足食；清廉的人難以度日，污濁的人卻多有榮華富貴；孝順的人多辛苦，作惡多端的人卻受人喜愛。速報司你到底靈不靈驗？到底顯不顯現？既然靈驗就應該顯靈，既然顯現就應該教化。』
【English Translation】 English version: It is recorded: 'All things are created by the mind. Being an ox is the most arduous. Look at those who die violent deaths, they are all people who eat beef.' Once there was a Jinshi (title given to those who passed the highest-level imperial exam) named Yu Xin (person's name), who killed oxen and ate their meat. Relying on his literary talent and intelligence, he slandered the Three Jewels (Buddhist term referring to the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha). After his death, he suffered in various hells and is now transformed into a turtle. King Yama (the King of Hell) sent a ghost officer to bring the turtle before the court, so that Jiang student could see it. The turtle had nine heads, and blood was flowing from its heads and eyes, causing it immense pain. This is Yu Xin. A ghost officer said to Jiang student, 'You must quickly tell the Emperor (King Yama) to reform and do good deeds, and beg for the favor of being returned to life. If he is sentenced to hell, there will be no hope of release.' Jiang student said, 'What way is there to seek guidance?' The ghost officer said, 'The underworld deeply respects writing, receiving, and upholding the Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra (name of a Buddhist scripture) and the Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra (name of a Buddhist scripture). If you make this vow, you will be freed.' Having received these words, Jiang student told the Emperor, 'Considering that my parents are old and there are no other brothers to serve them, and that I was young and ignorant, I committed serious crimes. Although I have read Yu Xin's writings, I have never slandered the Buddha, the Dharma, or the Sangha. Since my lifespan has not yet ended, I beg the Emperor to release me back to the world to care for my parents, and I vow to write the Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra and the Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, to be a vegetarian for life, and to diligently uphold them.' The Emperor, pitying his repentance and turning from evil to good, ordered him to be released back to life. The Emperor warned him, 'When you return to the world, you must care for your parents, respect the Three Jewels, recite the scriptures, and cultivate good deeds. If you violate this again, you will fall into the Yellow Springs (the underworld) after death, and even if a thousand Buddhas appear, there will be no repentance.' After Jiang student returned to life, relatives and neighbors all came to ask about the reason, and all were ashamed and reformed themselves.
Huo Military Advisor Huo Military Advisor was reciting the Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra (name of a Buddhist scripture) when suddenly he saw the ground in the hall split open and Bao Longtu (person's name) emerged. Bao Longtu said, 'I am the Swift Retribution Office.' The military advisor asked the Swift Retribution Office, 'You only report evil deeds and not good deeds. Good people suffer hunger and cold, while evil people have abundant food and clothing. Honest people have difficulty making a living, while corrupt people often enjoy glory and wealth. Filial people suffer much hardship, while rebellious people are loved and seen. Swift Retribution Office, are you truly effective? Are you truly manifest? If you are effective, you should show your power. If you are manifest, you should teach.'

金剛般若波羅蜜經感應傳(終)
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 七軸經卷，蘊藏著無邊的微妙義理，其中包含的甘露，時時潤澤，醍醐灌頂，滴滴清涼。白玉般的牙齒邊流淌著舍利，紅蓮般的舌頭上放射著毫光。縱然造下的罪業如山嶽般深重，只需誦讀幾行妙法，便可消解。僧人說完這些話，回頭一看，卻不見了蹤影。陸某因此醒悟，心想這一定是佛和觀音菩薩化身來勸化我。於是請來畫工，繪製了一軸阿彌陀佛（Amitābha，西方極樂世界的教主）、觀音（Avalokiteśvara，觀世音菩薩）和大勢至（Mahāsthāmaprāpta，光明智慧第一）的畫像，設定供席供養。拜師學習誦讀《妙法蓮華經》和《金剛般若經》。不到五年，就能背誦如流。並且，比如說明天要宰殺多少豬羊，他都會提前一晚到佛前焚香，持誦《蓮經》一部，《金剛經》一十七卷，對著佛像懺悔，口中唸到來日要宰殺的豬羊數量，愿將誦經的功德超度這些被殺的豬羊，愿以此報身，早日往生凈土，愿我命終之時，免受這些冤對。每天早上都如此，陸某反而覺得身輕體健，自得其樂。活到八十一歲，臨死前半個月，遍請親戚朋友、街坊鄰居，說自己將在十一月初九日辭世。到了那天，簡單準備了些素菜，迎接前來告別的人們。到了約定的日子，大家都來參加齋飯，完畢后，陸某果然沐浴更衣，端坐而逝。凡是士人鄉友，無不瞻仰稱歎。當時周璟親眼所見，也一同送行。頌曰：陸翁處世實在奇特，兒女親家笑容滿面。八十一年如夢初醒，百千三昧絕無懷疑。殺生不妨礙真如本性，唸佛先要空掉罪福的執著。感得慈悲的佛尊前來接引，在水晶宮裡，白蓮盛開。頌曰：六十多年專門從事殺生行業，手提刀秤暗自修行。今天終於走上菩提之路，水裡也能生出蓮花，火里也能開出蓮花。
《金剛般若波羅蜜經感應傳》（終）
【English Translation】 English version The seven scrolls contain boundless and wondrous meanings, filled with nectar that constantly irrigates, and the nectar of enlightenment drips coolly. From his white jade teeth flow śarīra (relics), and from his red lotus tongue emanate rays of light. Even if one has committed sins as high as mountains, reciting a few lines of the wondrous Dharma can dissolve them. After the monk finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared. Mr. Lu then awakened, thinking that it must have been the Buddha (enlightened one) and Avalokiteśvara (Bodhisattva of compassion) who transformed to advise me. He then hired a painter to create a scroll of Amitābha (Buddha of Infinite Light), Avalokiteśvara (Bodhisattva of Compassion), and Mahāsthāmaprāpta (Bodhisattva of Great Strength), setting up a seat to make offerings. He studied and recited the Lotus Sūtra and the Diamond Sūtra. In less than five years, he could recite them fluently from memory. Furthermore, for example, knowing how many pigs and sheep would be slaughtered the next day, he would prostrate himself before the Buddha the night before, burn incense, and recite one chapter of the Lotus Sūtra and seventeen chapters of the Diamond Sūtra, repenting before the Buddha, reciting the number of pigs and sheep to be slaughtered the next morning, wishing to transfer the merit of reciting the sūtras to liberate the slaughtered pigs and sheep, wishing to use this body to be reborn in the Pure Land early, and wishing to be free from these karmic debts at the time of my death. Every morning was the same, and Mr. Lu felt light and healthy, enjoying himself. At the age of eighty-one, half a month before his death, he invited relatives, friends, and neighbors, saying that he would pass away on the ninth day of the eleventh month. On that day, he simply prepared some vegetarian dishes to welcome those who came to say goodbye. On the appointed day, everyone came to attend the vegetarian meal, and after the meal, Mr. Lu indeed took a bath, changed his clothes, and passed away peacefully while sitting upright. All the scholars and villagers admired and praised him. At that time, Zhou Jing witnessed it personally and also saw him off. A verse says: Old Man Lu's life was truly extraordinary, his children and relatives smiling happily. Eighty-one years passed like a dream, with no doubt about the hundreds of thousands of samādhi (state of meditative consciousness). Killing does not hinder the true nature, and reciting the Buddha's name first empties the attachment to merit and demerit. He was moved by the compassionate Buddha to come and receive him, and in the crystal palace, white lotuses bloomed. A verse says: For more than sixty years, he specialized in the killing industry, secretly cultivating with a knife and scales in hand. Today, he finally attains the path to enlightenment, and lotuses can grow in water and bloom in fire.
