韦陀示梦发心

冬十一月。林主席暨各官员。派屈映光。张子廉。请公赴重庆。建救国息灾法会。癸未一百有四岁。政府各官请斋。三月回南华。有潮籍郑子嘉居士来寺。云经商于港。日寇陷港梦金甲武士。指其逃难方向。今至南华。见韦陀菩萨。即所梦指示方向之神也。

宣化偈曰：

子嘉梦韦陀。感恩欲报德。
请愿修寺庙。首助海会舍。
　

An account of gaining determination due to the appearance of Wei T'ou Bodhisattva

In November, Chief of State Lin, among other government officials, sent Upasakas Ch'u Ying Kuang and Chang Tzu Lien to invite the Master to Ch'ung Ch'ing to hold a Dharma assembly for the welfare of the nation. In 1943, the Master was one-hundred-and-four, and various high government officials invited him for meals of pure food. In the third lunar month, he returned to Nan Hua Monastery. Upasaka Cheng Tzu Chia of Ch'ao Chou arrived, and explained that he was a merchant in Hong Kong. When the enemy took the city, he saw a golden armored knight, who pointed out a way for him to escape the besieged city. Now he had come to Nan Hua Monastery, and upon seeing the statue of Wei T'ou Bodhisattva, realized that the one who had helped him escape was none other than Wei T'ou.

The gatha says:
Wei T'ou appeared to Tzu Chia,
Who wished to repay his gratitude.
Making a vow to repair monasteries,
He first helped out the Hai Hui25 Cottage.
