佛祖統紀 27.61

27.61

Shenhao formed a Western Society for monastics and laity in Wu commandery. If anyone was unable to cast off worldly entanglements, he dismissed them; people at the time considered that in a sandalwood forest ordinary timber naturally withers away. Later, he showed signs of illness and told his disciples, 'The holy signs of the Pure Land have already appeared; I will certainly attain rebirth tonight.' He then bathed, changed his clothes, sat upright, and passed away, with fragrance filling the chamber.
