### [22.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.22.19)

法師敬雲。建業人。夙學天台之道。光化二年。於永嘉寺講經。依俱舍論述小乘入道五位。作柝玄記二卷。法師妙行。初學天台教。既入居泰山。結草為衣拾果為食。行法華三昧感普賢現身證明。後專持彌陀經。於一夕見流離地佛與二菩薩涌立空中。僖宗聞其名。詔賜號常精進菩薩。後一日再見寶地。謂左右曰。吾無觀想而寶地復見。安養之期至矣。即日右脇安臥而化。

> Dharma Master Jingyun was a native of Jianye. He studied the Tiantai path from an early age. In the second year of Guanghua, he lectured on the sūtras at Yongjia Monastery; relying on the Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya, he expounded the five stages of entering the path in the Hinayana, writing the Tuoxuan ji in two scrolls. Dharma Master Miaoxing initially studied the Tiantai teachings. Later, he moved to Mount Tai, where he fashioned clothing from grass and gathered fruits for sustenance. Practicing the Lotus Samādhi, he moved Samantabhadra to appear in person and verify his practice. Later, he focused solely on upholding the Amitābha Sūtra. One evening, he saw lapis lazuli ground, with the Buddha and two bodhisattvas standing upright in the sky. Hearing of his fame, Emperor Xizong bestowed on him the title Bodhisattva of Constant Diligence. One day later, he saw the jeweled ground again and said to his attendants, "Without any contemplation or visualization, the jeweled ground has appeared again. The time to return to Anyang has arrived!" That very day, he passed away lying peacefully on his right side.
