往生西方淨土瑞應傳 1.19

1.19

Dharma Master Deng of the Sui dynasty lectured on the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra at Xingguo Temple in Bingzhou. Monastics and laity came to listen, both old and young, and he orally transmitted to them the name of Amitābha Buddha, exhorting them to be reborn together [there]. In the twelfth year of the Kaihuang reign era, a miraculous fragrance came to welcome him; on the day of his funeral, fragrant clouds covered all the villages.
