11.25

金剛般若四藏。彌陀經十藏。禮舍利塔十遍（言遍者。以八萬四千拜為數）禮釋迦三十萬。拜彌陀百萬。拜佛號五千萬聲。禮法華一字三拜者三過。心期淨土。一生坐不背西。憲使無為楊傑為製安樂國讚三十章以美之。其一云。淨土周沙界。何勞獨指西。但能從一入。處處是菩提。師欲廣化世俗。遂於受業淨住寺。圖九品三輩。刻其讚於石。觀者皆知感化。一日無病趺坐而亡。有天樂鳴空異香入室之瑞。

the Diamond Prajñā four piṭakas, the Amitābha Sūtra ten piṭakas; prostrated before relic stūpas ten times (saying “times” takes eighty-four thousand prostrations as the count); bowed to Śākyamuni three hundred thousand times; bowed to Amitābha one million times; recited the Buddha’s name fifty million times; and performed bowing to each character of the Lotus Sūtra with three bows per character three times through. In his mind he aspired to the Pure Land, and throughout his life he never sat with his back to the west. The surveillance commissioner Yang Jie of Wuwei composed thirty stanzas of Hymns on the Land of Peace and Bliss to praise him. One of them says: “The Pure Land pervades worlds [as numerous as] sands; / Why labor only to point to the west? / If one can but enter through unity, / Every place is bodhi.” The Master wished to broadly transform the worldly, and so at his tonsure temple, Jingzhu Monastery, he painted the nine grades and three ranks, carving those hymns into stone. Those who viewed them were all moved and transformed. One day, free of illness, he passed away sitting cross-legged. There were auspicious portents of heavenly music resounding in the sky and strange fragrances filling the room.
