佛祖統紀 46.6

46.6

Third year [1088 CE]. An imperial eunuch was ordered to carry gold to Donglin [Monastery] to adorn the Buddha statues of the Five Divinely Moved Halls. The Director of Receptions Yang Jie went to Shuanglin [Monastery] to pay homage to the Great Being's revolving repository. While he was gazing in reverent admiration, the wheel suddenly turned on its own. The great assembly marvelled at it. Jie composed a eulogy to record the event. Jie had always possessed deep personal faith in the Pure Land path; he kept with him a sixteen-foot image of Amitābha Buddha for visual contemplation. When his life ended, he had the vision of the Buddha coming to welcome him, and passed away seated upright.
