佛祖統紀 47.65

47.65

五年四月。刑部都官陸沅。沐浴冠服就寢而化。將殮忽聞蓮華香氣自口鼻噴出。沅號省菴。居四明鄞之橫溪。每晨起誦法華。日一過者三十載。年登八秩增至三部。為詩見志。有清晨三度到靈山之句。又閱大藏誦佛號。凡天台教門。少林宗旨。無不博究（弟陸游放翁撰墓誌）。

In the fourth month of the fifth year, Lu Yuan, Director of the Ministry of Justice, bathed, put on his cap and robes, lay down to sleep, and passed away. As he was about to be encoffined, the fragrance of lotus flowers suddenly welled up and gushed forth from his mouth and nose. Yuan's sobriquet was Xing'an; he resided at Hengxi in Yin of Siming. Every morning upon rising, he recited the Lotus Sutra once a day for thirty years. Having reached the age of eighty, he increased it to three times, expressing his aspiration in verse, which had the line: 'In the clear morning, thrice arriving at Vulture Peak.' He also read the Great Canon and recited the Buddha's name. In all the Tiantai teachings and the principles of Shaolin, there was nothing he did not investigate extensively (His younger brother Lu You, [sobriquet] Fangweng, composed the tomb inscription).
