27.25

慧光。北齊時居洛陽著華嚴涅槃十地等疏。妙盡權實之旨。一日有疾見天眾來迎。光曰。我所願歸安養耳。已而淨土化佛充滿虛空。光曰。唯願我佛攝受遂我本願。即彈指謦欬。言氣俱盡。

Huiguang resided in Luoyang during the Northern Qi and composed commentaries on the Avataṃsaka, Nirvāṇa, Daśabhūmika, and other sūtras, wonderfully plumbing the import of the provisional and the real. One day, falling ill, he saw heavenly hosts coming to welcome him. Guang said, “My sole wish is to return to the Land of Peaceful Nurturance.” Soon after, transformed Buddhas of the Pure Land filled empty space. Guang said, “I pray only that my Buddha gather me in and fulfill my original vow.” He then snapped his fingers, coughed, and his words and breath ceased together.
