2.312

The eulogy says: A monk entered the underworld and saw the layman sitting peacefully in a quiet room, with sūtras and books filling the table, the courtyard filled with purple bamboo and stone crags, exquisitely pure like a grotto heaven. Now the layman should have been born in Sukhāvatī; why was he still in the realm of the underworld? It seems that in life he was firmly devoted to reciting sūtras, and before his sūtra vows were fulfilled, he could only attain rebirth after their completion.
