龍舒增廣淨土文 5.50

5.50

可久，常誦《法華經》，故號久法華，平生修淨土業。元祐八年年八十一坐化，三日却還，說淨土事，與《十六觀經》所說一同。見蓮華臺，皆標合生者姓名。一紫金臺標云「大宋城都府廣教院熏法華已生其中」，又一金臺標云「明州孫十二郎合生其中」，又一金臺標云「久法華臺」，又一銀臺標云「明州徐道姑臺」。語訖復化去。五年徐道姑亡，異香滿室。又十二年孫十二即亡，天樂盈空。

Kejiu constantly chanted the Lotus Sūtra, and was therefore called "Jiu Lotus"; throughout his life he cultivated the karma for the Pure Land. In the eighth year of Yuanyou, at the age of eighty-one, he passed away sitting upright. After three days he returned and spoke of Pure Land matters, which were identical to what is taught in the Sixteen Contemplations Sūtra. He saw lotus daises, all inscribed with the names of those destined to be reborn there. One purple-golden dais was inscribed: "Xun Lotus of Guangjiao Cloister in Chengdu Prefecture of the Great Song has already been reborn within it." Another golden dais was inscribed: "Twelfth Son Sun of Mingzhou is destined to be reborn within it." Another golden dais was inscribed: "The dais of Jiu Lotus." Another silver dais was inscribed: "The dais of Daoist Nun Xu of Mingzhou." Having finished speaking, he passed away again. Five years later, Daoist Nun Xu passed away, a wondrous fragrance filling the room. Another twelve years later, Twelfth Son Sun passed away, heavenly music filling the sky.
