《太平广记·卷一百零五·报应四（》
问和尚为什么又回来了，和尚说： 刘鸿渐是自己的弟子，念金刚经，功力很大。他的寿命又没尽，应当被释放。 
问和尚何以复来，僧云： 刘鸿渐是己弟子，持金刚经，功力甚至，其算又未尽，宜见释也。
The Governor asked the monk why he came back. The monk said: Liu Hongjian is my disciple. He recites the Diamond Sutra and has great powers. His life is not over yet, and he should be released.
