27.22
Huijin: In the early Yongming era of the Qi dynasty, at Gaozuo Monastery in Yangzhou, he made a vow to recite the Lotus Sūtra to adorn the Pure Land. Holding the scroll, he fell ill. Thereupon he made another hundred copies of the scripture to repent of past karmic hindrances. Once the copies were fully completed, his illness was cured accordingly. He heard a voice from the sky say: "Your task is already done, and your vow is fulfilled. If you who desire to be reborn in the Pure Land will not be reborn there, who will?" One day, free of illness, he passed away while reciting the Buddha's name.
