He made an image only three inches tall. Later, in concentration, he saw the Buddha say to him, "Why did you make my image so small?" Yu said: "If the mind is large, it is large; if the mind is small, it is small." Having spoken, he saw the image's body fill all of space, and it told him: "You should bathe and cleanse yourself; when the bright star appears, I will come to welcome you." When the time arrived, he indeed saw the Buddha come, light filling the room; thereupon he sat and passed away. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.73](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1.73) - [Next: 1.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1.75) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072~en-mt.1.74) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [佛祖統紀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27.41) — 志磐, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1.74) · Pramāṇa
