佛祖統紀 28.58

28.58

Yao Yue lived in Xiantan, Zhachuan. He immersed his mind in the internal scriptures. Whenever a monk came to visit, he would always defer to the host's position, saying that a layperson should not take precedence over a monk. Master You of Juehai urged the villagers to form a Pure Karma Society, and Yue actually directed its affairs. He suddenly told You, 'I have long grown weary of this fleeting life, and in no time I will go to the west. Master, you may assist my focused mindfulness.' You then recited with him daily. One day he took his seat and was transformed. Soon after, he appeared in You's dream, saying, 'Yue has already been reborn; it was by the Master's aid.' You asked, 'May I roam with you?' Yue said, 'Master, your worldly lifespan is not yet exhausted. Jingyi of the monastery will surely arrive first.' When a month had passed, [Jingyi] indeed passed away; Yi was an associate in the same society.
