往生西方淨土瑞應傳 1.69

1.69

唐朝韋之晉立行慈深。建西方道場。念阿彌陀佛。懺悔願生西方。行菩薩道。守護佛法。轉正法輪。度脫含識。至六月內。面西跏趺合掌。念阿彌陀佛六十聲。忽爾化世。異香滿宅。內外皆聞。祥瑞不可稱說。

Wei Zhijin of the Tang dynasty was established in profound practice and compassion. He established a Western [Pure Land] place of practice, mindful of Amitābha Buddha, practicing kṣamā and vowing to be reborn in the West, practicing the bodhisattva path, protecting the Buddha-Dharma, turning the wheel of the true Dharma, and delivering sentient beings. In the sixth month, facing west, he sat cross-legged with palms joined and recited 'Amitābha Buddha' sixty times. Suddenly he passed away. A miraculous fragrance filled the residence, perceived both inside and outside. The auspicious responses cannot be fully described.
