阿彌陀經通贊疏 3.7

3.7

贊曰：第三聖眾來迎也。其人者，既七日念佛行人也。臨命終時者，此一報壽命臨欲終時，即彼佛與諸聖眾，即彼國菩薩聲聞等，現身於念佛修行人前，如梁朝珍禪師見白銀臺或見化佛來迎也。

The commentary states: The third [section is] the holy assembly coming to welcome. 'This person' refers to the practitioner who has recollected the Buddha for seven days. 'When approaching the end of life' means that when the lifespan of this single retribution is about to end, that Buddha and all the holy assembly—that is, the bodhisattvas, śrāvakas, and others of that land—manifest their forms before the practitioner who cultivates recollection of the Buddha, just as Chan Master Zhen of the Liang dynasty saw a silver terrace, or seeing a transformed Buddha coming to welcome them.
