南宗頓教最上大乘摩訶般若波羅蜜經六祖惠能大師於韶州大梵寺施法壇經 1.83

1.83

On the day of the Master's parinirvāṇa, an extraordinary fragrance filled the monastery, not dispersing for several days. Mountains crumbled, the earth shook, forest trees turned white, the sun and moon lost their light, and the wind and clouds lost their color. He entered parinirvāṇa on the third day of the eighth month, and in the eleventh month, the Master's spirit seat was escorted to Caoxi Mountain and interred within a dragon niche. A white light appeared, shooting straight up into the sky, dispersing only after three days. Wei Ju, the prefect of Shaozhou, erected a stele, and offerings are made down to the present day.
