免覆舟厄
【原文】
宋王通,京兆人。世积善,常持药师经,及劝人诵。
政和三年,通为商在途,初见一青服者,与十六人至长沙江同渡。次见道服 老者呼曰:王通来,上我船。通即过其船。
须臾风起。见先渡者,船小俱覆。通急呼佛菩萨名。老者船大,过数山坳。邀上山谓曰:此江八百里,君合死于此。因施经劝人,内有三七数该横死者,蒙公德获免。君延寿三纪。余奉上帝命,特来护送耳。顷清衣者,土地神也。言讫不见。
【白话文】
王通,宋朝时期西安人,他一生行善,并信奉药师法门,不仅自己常诵药师 经,还劝人诵经。
政和三年,王通在经商路上,看见一个穿青衣的人与其他十六人一起,到长 沙江坐船。船上有个穿道袍的老人对他说,"王通过来,上我的船。"王通就上了他的船。
忽然间,起风了。前面的小船纷纷在风浪中沉没,于是王通急忙大声念佛菩 萨名号。老者的船较大,平安经过了几个山坳。靠岸后,老者请王通上山,对他说,"此江八百里,您本应死在这里。但因您经常送佛经给人并劝人诵经,经过您的介绍学习了《药师经》而免除横祸的人有二十一位。所以您今天幸免于难,并延寿三十六年。我是奉上帝之命来护送您的。刚才那位穿青衣的人,就是此地的土地神。"说完就不见了。
