27.67

Zhiqin devoted himself exclusively to dhyāna practice. He also prostrated to the fifteen thousand Buddha-names one hundred times. Later, at the King Aśoka Stūpa in Zhengzhou, he burned one of his arms, vowing to be reborn in the Pure Land. At midnight, his disciple Senghu saw an extraordinary light shining in the courtyard. He therefore asked, "Who is holding a torch?" He asked three times in all. A voice from the sky said, "We have simply come to welcome Chan Master Qin." Hu hurried to push open the window and look, whereupon he saw the Buddha's body radiating brilliant light, with banners, flowers, and jeweled canopies soaring through the air and flying downward. Qin passed away on the spot.
