I'd like to learn folklore of laity/post-first generation monastics (not the first disciples of Sakyamuni) that serves to establish the power of faith. Any stories of persecution proving the teachings right or heroism against great difficulties to save the scriptures, upholding the vows against all odds, performing miracles in desperate situations. I would also like to learn about poetry of this sort. Answers covering any time-period/sect welcome.
