From early on he yearned for the Western Direction. East of the commandery city, he built a hermitage to practice buddhamanasikāra. Later, due to illness, he invited a hundred monks to maintain mindfulness. Suddenly he looked up into the air, joined his palms, formed mudrās with both hands, and passed away with a joyful countenance. The whole city heard heavenly music and an extraordinary fragrance, which gradually faded toward the west. His three sons successively practiced buddhamanasikāra and likewise passed away sitting upright. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.115](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.115) - [Next: 2.117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.117) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072~en-mt.2.116) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.116) · Pramāṇa
