道喻，念阿彌陀佛，造旃檀像長三寸。後忽死，七日却甦云：「見阿彌陀佛云：『汝造我像何太小？』對曰：『心大即大，心小即小。』言訖其像遍於虛空。又云：『汝且回本國香湯沐浴，明星出，我來迎汝。』」至時，果見化佛來迎，光明照室，眾皆聞見乃亡。時開皇八年。

Daoyu practiced recollection of Amitābha Buddha and made a sandalwood statue three inches high. Later, he suddenly died, but after seven days he revived and said, "I saw Amitābha Buddha, who said: 'Why did you make my statue so excessively small?' I replied: 'When the mind is large, it is large; when the mind is small, it is small.' When I finished speaking, the statue filled all of empty space. He further said: 'Return to your native country for now and bathe in fragrant water; when the morning star appears, I will come to welcome you.'" When the time came, he indeed saw a transformation Buddha come to welcome him, with bright light illuminating the room. Everyone heard and saw it, and he then passed away. It was the eighth year of the Kaihuang reign era.
