佛祖統紀 46.6

46.6

三年。勅內侍齎黃金往東林。粧飾神運五殿佛像○主客楊傑詣雙林禮大士輪藏。瞻仰之次輪忽自轉。大眾歎異。傑為贊以記其事。傑嘗以淨土之道為自信。繪丈六阿彌陀佛隨身觀念。壽終之時感佛來迎。端坐而化。

Third year [1088 CE]. An imperial eunuch was ordered to carry gold to Donglin [Monastery] to adorn the Buddha statues of the Five Divinely Moved Halls. The Director of Receptions Yang Jie went to Shuanglin [Monastery] to pay homage to the Great Being's revolving repository. While he was gazing in reverent admiration, the wheel suddenly turned on its own. The great assembly marvelled at it. Jie composed a eulogy to record the event. Jie had always possessed deep personal faith in the Pure Land path; he kept with him a sixteen-foot image of Amitābha Buddha for visual contemplation. When his life ended, he had the vision of the Buddha coming to welcome him, and passed away seated upright.
