28.115

長安京姓本為屠。因善導和上勸人念佛。滿城斷肉京嫉之持刀入寺。興殺害意。導指示西方現淨土相即回心發願上高樹念佛。墮樹而終。眾見化佛引天童子從其頂門而出(天童即其識神)。

A man surnamed Jing of Chang'an was originally a butcher. Because the Upādhyāya Shandao urged people to recite the Buddha's name, the entire city ceased eating meat. Jing grew envious and resentful; wielding a knife, he entered the monastery with intent to kill. Shandao pointed to the West and manifested the appearance of the Pure Land. Jing immediately turned his mind and made a vow, climbed a tall tree to recite the Buddha's name, and fell from the tree to his death. The crowd saw a transformed Buddha leading a heavenly youth emerging from his crown. (The heavenly youth was his consciousness-spirit.)
