An \*Avataṃsaka\* verse says: “Again emitting light named Dignified and Upright, / That light awakens those whose lives are ending; / Seeing them on the verge of death, it urges them to be mindful of the wholesome, / And due to this they are born before the Buddhas. / It also shows them the revered images to make them gaze in reverence, / And again urges them to take refuge in the Buddha; / Due to this they attain clear and pure light.” Moreover, one should invite venerable practitioners and wise persons to come frequently to give guidance. The \*Samantapāsādikā\* says: The caregiver praises the sick person, saying: “Elder, you are fully endowed with the keeping of precepts; do not have lingering attachment to your dwelling place, robes, belongings, acquaintances, or friends; simply keep your mindfulness on the Three Jewels and be mindful of the foulness of the body; within the three realms, be careful not to be indolent, acting in accordance with the length of your life.” And so on. The \*Vinayamātṛkā\* states: If the sick person does not heed the caregiver’s words, or if the caregiver violates the sick person’s wishes, both incur a duṣkṛta. One must deliberate according to the foregoing and not give way to laxity. When he passes away, strike the impermanence chime. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.324](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3.324) - [Next: 3.326](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3.326) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804~en-mt.3.325) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.95.35) — 道世, Classical Chinese - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19.30) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3.325](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.3.325) · Pramāṇa
