宋宗利。居新城碧沼。修念佛三昧者十年。後入道味山。築菴名曰一相。越十五年。忽謂弟子曰。吾見碧蓮花。遍滿空中三日。復曰佛來矣。即書偈云。吾年九十頭雪白。世上應無百年客。一相道人歸去來。金臺坐斷乾坤窄。奄然而化。

Zongli of the Song lived at Bizhao in Xincheng, cultivating buddhānusmṛti-samādhi for ten years. Later he entered Mount Daowei and built a hut named Yixiang. Fifteen years later, he suddenly said to his disciples: "I have seen blue lotus flowers filling the sky for three days." He further said: "The Buddha has come!" He then wrote a verse saying: / "I am ninety years of age, my hair snowy white; / In the world there should be no guests of a hundred years. / The person of the Way of One Mark returns home; / Sitting firmly upon the golden dais, heaven and earth become narrow." / He peacefully transformed.
