8.39
常誓生安養國。每至懸車西次,輒嚬容合掌。至臨亡之日,體無餘患,唯語弟子云:「吾應去矣。」仍鋪席于地,西向虔禮,奄然而卒。是歲延興元年,春秋六十有四。即葬於山南。
He constantly vowed to be born in the Land of Peaceful Nurture (Sukhāvatī). Whenever the sun set toward the west, he would compose his face and join his palms. When the day of his death arrived, his body had no lingering ailment; he only told his disciples: 'I must go.' He then spread a mat on the ground, reverently paid homage toward the west, and suddenly passed away. This was the first year of the Yanxing era (494 CE), at the age of sixty-four. He was then buried on the southern side of the mountain.
