He built a hermitage south of the city to sit in meditation. He crafted a coffin and slept inside it at night. At the fifth watch, he would instruct a young attendant to strike the coffin and sing: 'Old Master Wu Xin, return home! / In the triple world there is no home, one cannot stay. / In the Pure Land of the West, there is the lotus womb. / Return home!' Upon hearing the chant, he would arise to meditate and recite. When Chancellor Qin Hui died, Wu was summoned to become Vice Minister of Rites. Later, having been summoned to the post of Postal Relay Inspector of Xiaoshan, he instructed his family to listen quietly, and from the sky came the sound of heavenly music. He said at once: 'Through a loss of mindfulness in the pure realm, I came here. Now that the golden dais has arrived, I must depart.' Having finished speaking, he passed away. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 28.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.28.36) - [Next: 28.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.28.38) - [Up: 28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.28) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.28.37) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.28.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.28.37) · Pramāṇa
