佛祖統紀 27.92

27.92

齊玉號慧覺。初於霅川寶藏建淨土會。念佛者如蟻之眾。後住上竺夜半頂彌陀像。行道念佛。一日謂首座曰。床前多寶塔現。非吾願也。所欲見則阿彌陀佛也。可為我集僧念佛。座鳴鍾繫念。將百餘人。頃之曰。今已見佛。即瞑目端坐而逝。

Qiyu was styled Huijue. At first he established a Pure Land association at Baozang in Zhachuan, where those recollecting the Buddha were as numerous as ants. Later he resided at Shangzhu, where at midnight he would carry a statue of Amitābha on his head, walking the path and recollecting the Buddha. One day he said to the head monk: "The Prabhūtaratna Stūpa has appeared before my bed; this is not my wish. What I desire to see is Amitābha Buddha. Please assemble the monks to recollect the Buddha for me." The head monk struck the bell and engaged in mindfulness with nearly one hundred monks. After a short while, [Qiyu] said: "Now I have seen the Buddha." He then closed his eyes, sat upright, and passed away.
