27.128

如寶。受業霅川覺華。因聞自昔珍禪師夢設浴往生事。遂發心。開長堂浴二十年。及建立佛像願求往生。年八十一。請眾啜茶言別。遽聞鐘鳴一聲。眾皆驚異。即向西加趺合掌凝望而化。

Rubao was ordained at Juehua in Zhachuan. Because he heard about Chan Master Zhen of ancient times who dreamed of preparing a bath and attained rebirth, he gave rise to the resolve, opened a communal bathhouse for twenty years, and erected Buddha images to make vows for rebirth. At the age of eighty-one, he invited the assembly to sip tea and say farewell. Suddenly a single ring of the bell was heard, and the assembly was astonished. Thereupon, facing West, he sat cross-legged, joined his palms, gazed attentively, and passed away.
