#Toutiao Creation Challenge#Wang Yan lived in Jiaozhi (now Vietnam) when he was a child. There was a virtuous monk in the local area who was a respected monk. He taught Wang Yan the Five Precepts and presented a golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva for him to offer it. The shape

Wang Yan later returned to Kyoto with the Buddha statue. At that time, Wang Yan was still a child and respectfully offered sacrifices with his second brother, and was dedicated to him.

Later, because the house was dilapidated and there was no place to install Buddha statues, so the statue was placed in Nanjian Temple, the capital.

At that time, the people were competing to mint coins, and some even used the stolen golden Buddha statues to mint coins. At that time, the statue of the Bodhisattva had been stored in the temple for several months. One day, Wang Yan was sleeping during the day and dreamed that he was standing in front of the base of the Bodhisattva statue. He thought this dream was very strange. It was almost dark at that time, and Wang Yan quickly rode a horse to welcome the statue home. That night, more than a dozen Buddha statues in Nanjian Temple were stolen.

After a long time, one evening, the Bodhisattva statue suddenly shone, illuminating the three feet in front of it, with golden light shining everywhere, and dazzling. At that time, Wang Yan's brothers and servants witnessed it with their own eyes. At that time, Wang Yan was still young and did not record this matter immediately, so he forgot what happened on the day, and only remembered that it was in the autumn of the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty of the Song Dynasty.

Later in the year of Taishi (471 AD), Wang Yan moved to Wuyi (referring to Jinling, now Nanjing), and a monk from the world temporarily sent this statue of Bodhisattva in Duobao Temple. Later, when Wang Yan arrived in Jiangdu, the monk went to Jingchu (Hubei). From then on, I didn’t know where the Bodhisattva statue was for nearly ten years, and Wang Yan was often worried that he would never see this statue again.

Later, in the late Ming Dynasty (479 AD), Wang Yan traveled to Three Gorges , passed by Jiangling, and saw this monk again, and only then did he know where the Buddha statue was stored. In the same year, Wang Yan returned to the capital and immediately visited Duobao Temple. The host loves the man, but said that he did not put Buddha statues on it. Wang Yan was worried about losing this Buddha statue and felt very melancholy inside. That night, I dreamed that someone told him that the Bodhisattva statue was in Duobao Temple, and I forgot about Ai Gong, and I will look for it for you. He saw that he was taken to the temple. The man pushed open the hall and saw the statue of the Bodhisattva in the middle of the small Buddha statues on the east side of the hall. He could see it very clearly.

The next morning, Wang Yan came to Duobao Temple again and told Ai Gong about his dream. Ai Gong opened the hall for this and saw it as if it was on the east side of the hall, exactly the same as what I saw in my dream. So he invited the lost statue of the Bodhisattva home. It was July 13, the first year of Jianyuan (479). From then on, Wang Yan often offered sacrifices to the holy statues himself.

[Original text]

Yan was in the middle of his youth. There are virtuous monks in that land, and they are moral monks. When you see the five precepts, you can use the golden statue of Guanyin as a body, and you can offer it; the shape is different from the present, but it is not very ancient, and it is similar to the original work in Yuanjia. Rongzhuan is very skilled, it seems that there is really good. Yan returned to the capital. At that time, I was in the Dragon Boat, and I was always diligent with my second brother and was dedicated and tireless. Later, the governance was changed to a bad house, and there were no houses to be established, and the capital was sent to Nanjian Temple. At that time, the people were competing to mint coins, and some people also stole and destroyed gold statues to fill them with them. It was like being in a temple at that time, and it had been several months. Yan slept during the day and dreamed of standing in the corner of his seat; his intention was very different. It was already dusk, and I rushed back. On the evening, more than ten statues of Nanjian were all killed by thieves. After a long time, it seemed like it was shining in the evening. It shines about three feet above the ground, and the golden light rises and looks dazzling. More than ten people saw each other with their brothers Yan and their servants. When I was young, I didn’t write the notes; when I wrote the notes, I forgot the sun and the moon; this was the autumn of the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty of the Song Dynasty.

to the end of Tai, Yan moved to Wuyi, and Zhou Xuan monk used this statue to live in Duobao Temple. Yan was temporarily traveling to Jiangdu, and this monk was still in Jingchu. He didn't know where the statue was, and he was standing there for ten years. I am always afraid that the divine treasure will be eliminated from the cause. At the end of the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, I visited the Seixia and passed by Jiangling. When I saw this monk, I knew where the statue was. In that year, Yan returned to the capital and immediately built Duobao Temple to visit. The lord of the temple loves his husband, and he doesn't have this image to send. Yan Tui was worried that this monk Meng Lang would lose this image, and he felt deeply sad. On that night, I dreamed that the man saw the verbal clouds, as if he was in a treasure, and he loved him forgot his ears, so he should get it. When I saw that I was about to come to the temple, I opened the hall with people. The image was clearly divided among the small statues in the east of the hall. I built a temple in Jiedan, and asked my love to be my husband as I dreamed of. Ai Gong opened the palace, and he saw this image in the east of the palace, as if he had seen it in a dream. So I got the same as I returned. It was July 13, the first year of Jianyuan. Like now, I always offer myself. (Excerpt from page 563 of "Fayuan Zhulin's Annotations".)
