佛祖統紀 27.142

27.142

善榮。四明小溪周氏。入南湖觀室十六年。閱藏經修期懺。金書法華楞嚴淨名圓覺光明諸經。造彌陀像。遇法會則拈施。自畫水墨觀音。求者便與。宣公亡後。三年忽取經像分施親故。請眾諷普賢行法經彌陀經。念佛聲中加趺而化。時以為赴宣公淨土之約。弟子海印高行似之。

Shanrong was of the Zhou clan of Xiaoxi in Siming. He entered the Contemplation Chamber at Nanhu for sixteen years, reading the Canon and cultivating repentance retreats. He copied in gold the Lotus, Śūraṅgama, Vimalakīrti, Perfect Enlightenment, and Suvarṇaprabhāsa sūtras, and made Amitābha images; whenever there was a Dharma gathering, he would distribute them as gifts. He personally painted ink Guanyin images, giving them to whoever asked. Three years after Master Xuan's death, [Shanrong] suddenly took his sūtras and images and distributed them among his relatives and friends. He requested the assembly to chant the Samantabhadra Practice Sūtra and the Amitābha Sūtra, and amid the sound of chanting the Buddha's name, he sat cross-legged and passed away. At the time, this was regarded as fulfilling his Pure Land appointment with Master Xuan. His disciple Haiyin resembled him in high conduct.
