〈「施無畏相」緣起〉一文流通後,台北吳居士因之憶起一尊黃楊木刻就之金色韋馱聖像,乃往佛像店探之。雖已歷經二年餘,尚未值有緣者請去。吳居士遂請下,並贈余供奉。

開光後,請問韋馱菩薩願否留鎮台灣,以保安定,以弘佛化?蒙一卜恩准,因此留供台北舍下佛堂。

「施無畏相」之感應,金色韋馱聖像現全身;只隔一個月,即蒙佛友厚愛請來金像。韋馱菩薩之威靈與佛友之慷慨,皆令余心儀不已。

一九九五年四月補記:此像寄給不知有此經過之桃園湯松義居士,聖像安抵之前夕,其妻陳秀燕女居士於夢中先見到,一模一樣。

Gold-colored Holy Statue of Wei Tuo

After my article, "The Photo of the Giving of Fearlessness," had been in circulation, Upasaka Wu of Taipei, Taiwan was reminded thereby of a gold-colored holy statue of Wei Tuo carved from a piece of box wood. Hence he went to the Buddha-statue shop to look for it. Even though it had been over two years since his last visit to the shop the Wei Tuo statue was still there. So he purchased it and offered it to me for my worship.

After I had consecrated the statue, I asked Bodhisattva Wei Tuo if he would like to abide in Taiwan to grant protection of stability and to promote propagation of Dharma. He granted permission at the first instance of divination. Therefore, I kept it on the altar in my family's Taipei residence.

During the inspirational experience of the photo of the Giving of Fearlessness the golden body of Wei Tuo was witnessed by me in its entirety. Only one month later already a Buddhist had bestowed such favor on me by offering me a gold-colored statue of Wei Tuo. Both tHoly Statue of Wei Tuohe awesome power of Bodhisattva Wei Tuo and the generosity of the Dharma friend inspired my heartfelt admiration.

Epilog added in April of 1995: I mailed a photo of this holy statue to Upasaka Song Yi Tang of Tao Yuan, Taiwan who did not know about anything that had come to pass in connection with this statue. The night before the arrival of this photo his wife, Upasika Xiu Yan Chen, saw the image in a dream, and the image saw in the dream is exactly the same as the one in the photo.
