高僧傳 11.62

11.62

未亡月日，忽與親知告別，竟無慼顏，時人謂是戲言。將終之日，微有病相，唯俗家一奴看之，明旦平坐而卒。奴不解，強取臥之，屍竟不申。眾僧來見，便令坐之。手屈三指，其餘皆申。眾僧試取捋之，亦隨手即申，申已復更屈。

Some days before his death, he suddenly bade farewell to his relatives and acquaintances, showing no sign of sorrow at all, so that people at the time thought it was in jest. On the day he was about to pass away, he showed slight signs of illness; only a secular slave attended to him, and the next morning he died sitting upright. The slave, not understanding, tried to force him to lie down, but the corpse would not stretch out at all. When the assembly of monks came to see him, they placed him in a sitting posture. Three fingers of his hand were curled, while the others were extended. The monks tried to stroke and straighten them, and they straightened along with the hand, but once straightened, they curled again.
