佛祖統紀 27.111

27.111

冲益。居錢唐淨光。刺血書淨土七經。復金書法華。刻西方三聖像。依止觀坐禪法念阿彌陀佛。一日感疾不服藥。拈香對佛懺悔。請大眾助念佛。諷彌陀經。至西方世界。奄然而化。

Chongyi resided at Jingguang in Qiantang. Piercing himself to draw blood, he wrote out the Seven Pure Land Sūtras, and also wrote the Lotus Sūtra in gold and carved statues of the Three Holy Ones of the Western Direction. Relying on the meditation method of cessation and contemplation, he recollected Amitābha Buddha. One day he fell ill and took no medicine; holding incense, he repented before the Buddha and asked the great assembly to assist in recollecting the Buddha and chant the Amitābha Sūtra. When they reached "the Western World," he quietly passed away.
