Daily he recited two copies of the Lotus Sūtra, and in his remaining time recollected the Buddha, never discussing worldly affairs. Suddenly he said to his disciples: "Last night I saw the Buddha and bodhisattvas come together to welcome and guide me." A disciple said: "I fear this might be a demonic realm; you must not simply follow it." Cong said: "When I die, there will be a lotus flower on my chest as proof." Two nights later, he ordered the chime to be struck and the Buddha's name recollected, saying joyfully: "The Buddha has come!" Thereupon he quietly passed away. When they looked at his chest, across an area of about a palm's span, there was a pattern, red and moist like an open lotus flower. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 27.115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27.115) - [Next: 27.117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27.117) - [Up: 27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.27.116) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27.116) · Pramāṇa
