龍舒增廣淨土文 5.12

5.12

曇鑒，履行尤謹，常願身升安養，面見阿彌陀佛。安養，即淨土也。故雖毫芒之善，悉回向之。一日定中見阿彌陀佛，以水洒其面曰：「滌汝塵垢、清汝心念，汝之身口俱致嚴淨。」又於瓶中出一蓮華與之。出定乃與寺僧敘別。夜漸深，獨步廊下念阿彌陀佛。將至五更，其聲彌厲。及旦，弟子依常問訊，趺坐不動，就而視之，亡矣。

Tanjian was exceptionally meticulous in his conduct, and constantly vowed to ascend to Peaceful Nourishment in body and see Amitābha Buddha face to face. Peaceful Nourishment is the Pure Land. Therefore, even for a good deed as small as the tip of a hair, he dedicated it all [to that end]. One day while in samādhi, he saw Amitābha Buddha sprinkle water on his face, saying: 'Wash away your dust and defilement, purify your mind and thoughts, and your body and speech will both be made solemn and pure.' He also took out a lotus flower from a vase and gave it to him. Emerging from samādhi, he bade farewell to the monks of the temple. As night deepened, he walked alone under the corridor reciting Amitābha Buddha's name. As the fifth watch approached, his voice became ever more vehement. When morning came, his disciples inquired after him as usual; he sat cross-legged without moving, and when they approached and looked at him, he had passed away.
