佛祖統紀 27.44

27.44

善胄。博野人。勤篤淨業。常見佛大士像放光照身。一夕疾中倏起合掌。祝曰。佛以四十八願攝我有情。必冀此時如佛本願。已而告眾曰。佛光照我所願無失。言訖而亡。

Shanzhou was a native of Boye who diligently applied himself to pure karma. He often saw statues of the Buddha and the Great Beings emitting light that shone upon his body. One evening during an illness, he abruptly arose, pressed his palms together, and prayed, “The Buddha gathers sentient beings through his forty-eight vows; I earnestly hope that at this moment, it will be according to the Buddha's original vow.” Soon after, he told the assembly, “The Buddha's light shines upon me; my wish has not failed.” Having spoken, he died.
