佛祖統紀 27.15

27.15

Jiezhu of Mount Fei in the present dynasty first compiled the Biographies of Rebirth [in the Pure Land]. Later, Vice Minister Wang Gu supplemented them with a continuation. Since the crossing to the south, Lu Shishou of Qiantang supplemented them further. Morong Haiyin of Siming again added a continuation after that. Thus, four authors—two Confucians and two monastics—collaborated successively in completing this work. Now, cutting away extraneous passages, I record solely the verifiable accounts of regular recitation of the Buddha's name and subsequent rebirth at the time of death, so that those cultivating pure karmic practices may find something to aspire to.
