Nizi 尼子, Sengfa 僧法 Miaoyin shizihou jing 妙音師子吼經 | |
Nizi 尼子 was the daughter of a Confucian doctor 太學博士 called Jiang Bi 江泌, who later became a nun called Sengfa 僧法. She is said to have been able to recite sūtras from an extremely young age, which she claimed were directly transmitted to her by devas or celestial beings. In Tianjian 天監 4 (505–506) she exhibited this talent for Liang Wudi 梁武帝, according to Chen probably in the Huaguang Hall 華光殿 in his Hualin Park 華林園. One of the texts she recited was probably the Yutuowei jing 踰陀衞經. Sengyou 僧祐 (445–518) attempted to secure copies of her texts, but only succeeded in obtaining the Miaoyin shizihou jing 妙音師子吼經. She later resided at Qingyuan si 靑園寺, and died young, sometime before the end of the Tianjian period (502–520). 出三藏記集 T 2145.55.40b06-23; 歷代三寶紀 T 2034.49.97a14. |
