佛祖統紀 27.106

27.106

慧亨。居武林延壽號清照。依靈芝習律。專修淨業殆六十年。每接對賓朋必以念佛為勸。建寶閣立三聖像最稱殊特。貴官江自任每敬師。忽夢寶座從空而下云。是清照律師當升此座。社友孫居士報。師乍違即在家作印而化。師往炷香。回謂其徒曰。孫君已往吾亦當行。即請眾念佛。復云。彌陀口口稱。白豪念念想。持此不退心。決定生安養。即端坐脫去。

Huiheng resided at Yanshou in Wulin and was styled Qingzhao. He relied on Lingzhi to study the Vinaya and concentrated on cultivating Pure Land practice for nearly sixty years. Whenever he received guests and friends, he invariably encouraged them to recollect the Buddha. He built a jeweled pavilion and erected statues of the Three Holy Ones, which were praised as most extraordinary. The high official Jiang Ziren always respected the master; suddenly he dreamed that a jeweled throne descended from the sky, and someone said: "Vinaya Master Qingzhao should ascend this throne." His society companion Layman Sun reported that the master, momentarily indisposed, immediately formed a mudrā at home and passed away. The master went to burn incense, and returning, told his disciples: "Lord Sun has departed; I too should go." Thereupon he requested the assembly to recollect the Buddha, and said: / "Chanting Amitābha with every mouth, / Contemplating the white curl from thought to thought; / Upholding this non-retrogressing mind, / One is definitely born in the Land of Peace and Nurture." / He then sat upright and passed away.
