At the End of His Filial Mourning,
a Dharma Protector Presented a Sage

守孝圓滿　護法顯聖

When his last three years of mourning were almost over, he had a false thought,

"Mount Qian (Thousand) and Mount Guangning (Expansive Tranquility) are two famous mountains in Manchuria. In those two mountains, many thousand-year-old Bhikshus are cultivating. After I complete this mourning period, I also will go there to cultivate the Way."

在他後來這三年將要圓滿時，就打了一個妄想：「千山和廣寧山，這是東北兩座名山，在這兩座名山里，都有幾千年的老比丘在修道。等我守孝圓滿了，也到廣寧山修道去。」

Two days after he had that false thought, while he was sitting in meditation he heard a Dharma Protector say to him, "Today a nobleman will come to visit you." When he heard that a nobleman was coming, he assumed it would be a high official of some kind. He just waited.

打了這麼個妄想，等第二天早起打坐時，就聽見有護法對他講：「今天有貴人到你這兒來。」他聽說有貴人來，以為是個做大官的，或者是個做什麼的，就等著。
