大方便佛報恩經 5.10

5.10

時舍利弗作如是無量利益已，告於大眾而作是言：「我今何心，見於如來入般涅槃？」作是唱已，即昇虛空，身中出火，即自燒身，取於涅槃。爾時大眾戀慕舍利弗，目不暫捨，心生戀慕，舉聲大哭，塵土坌身；日無精光，天地大動。爾時大眾收取舍利，起塔供養。爾時有無量百千大眾圍遶塔，念舍利弗故，心生苦惱，猖狂而行，忘失正念。

When Śāriputra had performed such boundless benefits, he addressed the great assembly, saying: “With what heart could I now watch the Tathāgata enter parinirvāṇa?” Having made this proclamation, he straightaway ascended into the sky; fire came forth from his body, and, burning his own body, he entered nirvāṇa. At that time the great assembly yearned for Śāriputra, not looking away for an instant; longing and yearning arose in their hearts, and raising their voices they wept aloud, throwing dust and dirt over their bodies. The sun lost its bright light, and heaven and earth shook violently. Then the great assembly gathered his relics and erected a stūpa to make offerings to them. At that time boundless hundreds of thousands among the great assembly circumambulated the stūpa; because they were mindful of Śāriputra, suffering and distress arose in their hearts, and wandering about wildly, they lost their right mindfulness.
