佛祖統紀 27.44

27.44

Shanzhou was a native of Boye who diligently applied himself to pure karma. He often saw statues of the Buddha and the Great Beings emitting light that shone upon his body. One evening during an illness, he abruptly arose, pressed his palms together, and prayed, “The Buddha gathers sentient beings through his forty-eight vows; I earnestly hope that at this moment, it will be according to the Buddha's original vow.” Soon after, he told the assembly, “The Buddha's light shines upon me; my wish has not failed.” Having spoken, he died.
