27.42

Shouhong was a native of Fenyang who constantly contemplated going to the West. When about to die, he saw a youth from Tuṣita Heaven coming to welcome him. The Master said, “My heart aspires to go West, not to be born in heaven.” He immediately instructed the assembly to chant the Buddha's name, and then abruptly said, “The Buddha is coming from the west!” Having spoken, he passed away.
