Over a decade ago, once while I was visiting Beijing, a Dharma friend in Yunnan happened to have an opportunity to visit Beijing for a few days. In the early hours of the morning of his departure from Yunnan he saw a Jueque inkstone in a dream and was told in the dream to offer me this inkstone. Since his departure time was only a few hours away, he rushed to the street where souvenirs for tourists were abundant in many stores to try to find the inkstone he saw in the dream. As he entered the first store, he saw the exact same inkstone on display there. Hence, he purchased it right away and brought it to me in Beijing. This morning I thought of this inkstone and took it out to take a look. Hence, I took a photo to share the inspirational event with people who are interested in this kind of anecdotes.

十餘年前有一次當我旅遊在北京小住，當時一位雲南佛友恰逢來北京旅遊數日的機緣。在他從雲南出發的清晨，他夢見一方苴却硯，並且聽到說，要他供我此硯。當時離出發的時間只有幾小時，他就趕忙奔赴有很多店專賣遊客紀念品的那條街，想試著找到夢中所見的硯台。他一走進第一間店，就一眼看到與夢中所見一模一樣的一方苴却硯。他立即買下，然後帶到北京給我。今晨我想起這方硯台，就找出來看看。我隨即拍照來說明它的感應緣起，以供對此類感應故事有興趣的人分享。
