佛祖統紀 27.75

27.75

Yitong was a native of Goryeo. He resided at Baoyun in Siming and propagated the doctrinal teachings and contemplation for nearly twenty years. He always addressed people as "fellow villagers." When someone asked him the reason, he said, "I take the Pure Land as my native village. All people are destined for rebirth there; hence, all are people of my native village." Later, resting on his right side and reciting the Buddha's name, he passed away.
