28.56

Fan Yan lived in Wulin. He read the Lotus Sūtra and recited the name of Amitābha Buddha every day without interruption. Suddenly he saw Bodhisattva Samantabhadra come to announce that he was due to be born in the Pure Land. After one night, the Buddhas and bodhisattvas came to welcome him. His family heard him humbly decline, saying, 'Who is Yan that I should truly deserve this?' Taking his seat and joining his palms, he was transformed.
