    Avalokiteshvara Helped Mother of Fan Zhongyan

    Published：2014/12/24 Buddhist Stories Views：1163

    北宋的政治家范仲淹（北宋著名政治家、文学家，官至参知政事，相当于副宰相），是很信佛的。他做刺史的时候，在母亲去世后三七日，梦见母亲哭泣着告诉他：“我因罪业，被泰山府君拘押，遭受刑罚，苦楚不堪，请为我念诵《金刚经》一藏，来救拔我，幸勿迟疑。倘我一入地狱，就永不得超生了。”

    仲淹公哭醒，立即延请僧众，为母亲念经超度。 寺院安排了七位僧人帮他母亲诵《金刚经》。诵到要上供时，僧寮里面一位做饭的僧人，端了供饭供菜，过来献在供桌上。摆好以后，他拿着盘子正准备走，看到大家在诵《金刚经》，那位僧人站在旁边看了一会儿就走了。

    法事做到第六夜时，梦见母亲说：“因你至诚，感得白衣大士降临凡间，亲自为我诵经半卷，我得生天上，你应厚供叩谢大士。”仲淹公在诵经圆满那天，拜谢众僧，问道：“请问，是哪位师父诵经半卷？”众僧失色，答道：“所诵佛经，一字也不敢遗漏，哪有只诵半卷的事？”

    旁边一僧说：“昨天大家诵经，山僧我倚立默看，到半卷时，您来拈香，我便回厨房做事。承您问，所以直对。”仲淹公连忙对他下拜，僧人说：“莫！莫！”说完腾空不见。

    原来观世音菩萨示现普通的僧人，在厨房里烧火做饭。范仲淹非常感动，就把自己做官的俸禄捐献出来，在寺院里建造了一座“莫莫堂”，以纪念观世音菩萨救母的恩德。这座“莫莫堂”，至今仍在江西波阳县的荐福寺中。
