佛祖統紀 28.49

28.49

高浩象。東平人。杜門靜坐專誦無量壽經。觀中汎紅蕖於玉沼。初未見佛。乃即華上傾心致敬。遙睇佛之金容光輝遠映。一夕見眾菩薩來迎。奄忽而化。

Gao Haoxiang was a native of Dongping. Shutting his gates, he sat quietly and recited exclusively the Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra (Wuliangshou jing). In contemplation, red lotuses floated on a jade pond; at first he did not see the Buddha, so upon the flower he devoted his heart to paying deep reverence. Looking afar, he saw the Buddha's golden countenance shining brightly, its radiance reflecting into the distance. One evening, he saw an assembly of bodhisattvas coming to welcome him, and he suddenly passed away.
