### 二五、唐長安某庵尼功德山傳

> Biography of Gongdeshan, a Nun from a Certain Nunnery in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty

功德山，姓氏住處失詳，道行顯著，能前知。肅宗朝，屢入宮為后妃說法。代宗廣德元年，吐蕃犯便橋，上幸陝，王師不利，常有紫氣如車蓋，以迎馬首。及迴潼關，上嘆曰：「河水洋洋，送朕東去。」上至陝，因望鐵牛，蹶然謂左右曰「朕年十五六，宮中有尼號功德山，言事往往神驗。屢撫吾背曰，天下有災，遇牛方迴。今見牛也，朕將迴爾。」是夜夢黃衣童子歌於帳前，曰：「中五之德方峨峨，胡胡呼呼可奈何？」詰旦，上具言其夢，侍臣咸稱土德當王之兆也。

> Gongdeshan, whose family name and place of residence are unknown, was known for his remarkable spiritual practice and ability to foresee events. During the reign of Emperor Suzong, he frequently entered the palace to teach the Dharma to the empress and consorts. In the first year of the Guangde era under Emperor Daizong, when the Tibetan forces attacked the Bian Bridge and the emperor fled to Shaan, the imperial army suffered setbacks. A purple aura, resembling a carriage canopy, often appeared to welcome the emperor’s horse. Upon returning to Tong Pass, the emperor sighed and said, "The river flows boundlessly, carrying me eastward." When the emperor reached Shaan, he gazed upon the iron oxen and suddenly said to his attendants, "When I was fifteen or sixteen, there was a nun in the palace named Gongdeshan, whose predictions often proved miraculous. She repeatedly patted my back and said, 'When disaster strikes the land, you will return upon encountering an ox.' Now that I have seen the ox, I shall return." That night, the emperor dreamed of a yellow-robed child singing before his tent: "The virtue of the center stands tall and grand, What can be done about the chaos in the land?" The next morning, the emperor recounted his dream in detail. His ministers all agreed that it was an omen signifying the rise of the earth virtue's sovereign.
