27.112

法宗。依雷峯廣慈學教。用止觀行法修大悲懺至九載。然五指供佛。每月率四十八僧。同修淨土懺。久之夢佛菩薩來迎。後三日合掌西望而逝。

Fazong studied the teachings under Guangci of Leifeng. Using the practices of cessation and contemplation, he cultivated the Great Compassion Repentance for nine years, burning five fingers as an offering to the Buddha. Every month he led forty-eight monks in jointly cultivating the Pure Land Repentance. After a long time, he dreamed of the Buddha and bodhisattvas coming to welcome him. Three days later, he joined his palms, looked west, and died.
