Minjangsa敏藏寺
1After seven days of prayer, a son returns from the sea
禺金里貧女寳開有子名長春.從海賈而征,久無音耗.其母就敏藏寺〔寺乃敏藏角干捨家爲寺〕觀音前克祈七日,而長春忽至.問其由緖曰,“海中風飄舶壞同侣皆不免,予乗隻板歸泊吳涯.吳人収之俾耕于野.有異僧如郷里來,予慰勤勤𠦸我同行,前有深渠僧掖我跳之.昬昬間如聞郷音與哭泣之聲,見之乃已屆此矣.日晡時離吳至此纔戌初即天寳四年乙酉四月八日也.景徳王聞之,施田於寺又納財幤焉.
A poor woman of Ugeum-ri (禺金里) named Bogae (寶開) had a son named Jangchun (長春).
He went off with sea merchants, and for a long time there was no news of him.
His mother went to Minjangsa (敏藏寺)〔this temple was made when the gakgan Minjang gave up his house to be a temple〕 and prayed earnestly for seven days before the image of Avalokitesvara, and Jangchun suddenly arrived.
When asked what had happened, he said this:
"In the middle of the sea the wind drove us and the ship broke apart, and none of my companions escaped. I rode a single plank and came ashore on the coast of Wu. The people of Wu took me in and made me plow the fields.
A strange monk came, as if from my home village, and comforted me kindly, and then took me along with him on the road. There was a deep ditch ahead, and the monk tucked me under his arm and leaped across.
In a daze I seemed to hear the sounds of my home speech and the sound of weeping, and when I looked, I had already arrived here.
I left Wu toward sunset and reached here when it was barely the first hour of the evening."
This was on the eighth day of the fourth month of the fourth year of Tianbao (天寶), the eulyu year.
King Gyeongdeok heard of it, donated fields to the temple, and also offered goods and silk.
