龍舒增廣淨土文 5.52

5.52

大公名奭，網魚為業。一日改業，持阿彌陀佛日萬聲，蔬素修行不曾暫輟。後無疾告家人云：「我見阿彌陀佛與觀音、勢至在門前。我今歸淨土也。」次日又云：「我已見金蓮華來迎我矣。」索香爐、安坐，揑印而化。鄉村遠近聞音樂異香，終日不散。時政和六年。

Dagong's given name was Shi; he netted fish for a living. One day he changed his occupation, reciting Amitābha Buddha ten thousand times a day, eating vegetarian food, and practicing without ever pausing even briefly. Later, free of illness, he told his family: "I see Amitābha Buddha with Avalokiteśvara and Mahāsthāmaprāpta in front of the gate. I am now returning to the Pure Land." The next day he said again: "I have already seen the golden lotus coming to welcome me." He asked for an incense burner, sat peacefully, formed a mudrā, and passed away. Nearby and far in the village, music and wondrous fragrance were heard and smelled, not dissipating all day long. This occurred in the sixth year of Zhenghe.
