27.61

神皓。於吳郡結道俗為西方社。有不能遺塵累者。引退之。時以為旃檀林中常才自枯。後示疾。謂弟子曰。淨土聖相已現。吾今夕必往生。乃澡身易衣端坐而化。香氣滿室。

Shenhao formed a Western Society for monastics and laity in Wu commandery. If anyone was unable to cast off worldly entanglements, he dismissed them; people at the time considered that in a sandalwood forest ordinary timber naturally withers away. Later, he showed signs of illness and told his disciples, 'The holy signs of the Pure Land have already appeared; I will certainly attain rebirth tonight.' He then bathed, changed his clothes, sat upright, and passed away, with fragrance filling the chamber.
