佛祖統紀 27.143

27.143

祖輝。居四明郡城佛閣。逢人但云。阿彌陀佛說也。說不得。人竟以說不得和上目之。鄞尉王用亨夫婦。事之甚至。一日到其家告別云。我明日行矣。及諸檀俱會。即入龕端坐。求甘瓜啖盡一枚。念佛而化。

Zuhui resided in the Buddha Pavilion of the prefectural city of Siming. Whenever he met people, he would only say: "Amitābha Buddha—it can be spoken, but it cannot be spoken!" People eventually came to call him the "Cannot-Be-Spoken Monk". Wang Yongheng, the police lieutenant of Yin, and his wife served him with the utmost devotion. One day he went to their house to bid farewell, saying: "I shall depart tomorrow." When the patrons had all assembled, he entered the niche, sat upright, asked for a sweet melon, ate the entire fruit, chanted the Buddha's name, and passed away.
