2.57

宋鍾離景融。官朝請大夫。常誦觀經。念佛不輟。掛冠結茅儀真東園側。甞曰。不識彌陀彌陀。更在西方外。識得彌陀彌陀祇在自己家。一夕命僧妙應。誦普賢行願品。炷香敬聽。兩手作印而化。

Zhongli Jingrong of the Song dynasty held the office of Grand Master for Court Audiences. He constantly recited the Contemplation Sūtra and practiced buddhamanasikāra unceasingly. Hanging up his official cap, he built a thatched hut beside the Eastern Garden in Yizhen. He once said: "If you do not recognize Amitābha, Amitābha is outside the Western Direction; if you do recognize Amitābha, Amitābha is right in your own home." One evening he bade the monk Miaoying recite the Chapter on Samantabhadra's Conduct and Vows, and while reverently listening with an incense stick burning, he made a mudrā with both hands and passed away.
