His Prediction Was True: The Emperor Had Died

预言应验　国王驾崩

Song Yun returned to his country, Northern Wei, and relayed this matter, "A couple of days ago when I was traveling along the Qin Range near Mount Zhongnan, I met Patriarch Bodhidharma. He was carrying a shoe in his hand. I asked where he was heading, and he said he was going back to India. He told me the day I met him that our Emperor had died. Now I have come back and found that it did happen on that very day. How did he know? Patriarch Bodhidharma's words are really efficacious."

宋云回到自己的国家北魏，就说起这件事：“我前两天走到秦岭，就是终南山那一带，遇见达摩祖师，他手里拿着一只鞋。问他到什么地方去？他说回印度去。他还告诉我，就在我遇到他那一天，我们的国王死了；我现在回来，果然正是那一天。他怎么会知道？达摩祖师说的话真灵验啊！”
