高僧傳 11.117

11.117

常祈心安養。每誦《無量壽》及《觀經》，輒見一沙門形甚姝大，常在琳前。至齊建武二年，寢疾不愈，注念西方，禮懺不息，見諸賢聖皆集目前。乃向弟子述其所見，令死後焚身。言訖合掌而卒。即於新繁路口積木燔屍，烟焰衝天，三日乃盡。收斂遺骨，即於其處而起塔焉。

He constantly prayed with his whole heart for rebirth in Sukhāvatī. Whenever he recited the Sūtra of Immeasurable Life and the Contemplation Sūtra, he would see a śramaṇa of very handsome and majestic form who was constantly before him. In the second year of the Jianwu era of the Qi (495 CE), when bedridden with an illness that did not heal, he focused his thoughts on the Western Region and bowed in repentance without ceasing. He saw all the worthy ones and sages assembled before his eyes. He then related what he saw to his disciples and ordered them to cremate his body after death. Having spoken, he clasped his palms together and died. They piled firewood at the road intersection in Xinfan to burn the corpse; the smoke and flames reached to heaven, dying out only after three days. Gathering the remaining bones, they erected a stūpa on that very spot.
