When they arrived at the hall, the woman knelt in front of the largest Buddha statue in the hall. She pressed her palms together and said with tears in her eyes, "Great Buddha, I beg you to save my son. I beg you to show your might. I'm willing to exchange my life for my son's."
The sound of the woman kowtowing made people sigh and pity her.
The child on her back was also in tears. He widened his eyes and looked at the Buddha's Golden Body that was inches away.
The novice monk went forward and said mercifully, "Amitabha." Then, he said to the woman, "Patron, please get up. Please sit down and tell me what illness your son has and where you live."
