After reciting sutras, there was a period for meditation. Chen, an elderly woman, has sciatica, and her legs go numb after sitting for any length of time. But because everyone else during the meditation period was quiet and still, she didn't dare disturb the peace by moving much. In desperation she took the dZi bead off her wrist and jammed it between her crossed legs.
更玄的是，有次陳老太太去參加法會，頌完經後照例有一段靜坐時間，老太太坐久了「坐骨神經痛到兩腳麻痺」，可是全場肅靜中她不敢起身，情急之下只好把手腕上的天珠取下來，塞進盤坐的兩腿之間。
