26.84

師說偈付囑。以香水沐身易衣安坐。令舁棺至室。良久自入棺。經三日門人與本寺瑜闍梨輒啟棺覩。師右脅吉祥而臥。四眾哀慟師乃再起上堂說法。及訶責垂誡曰。此度更啟吾棺者非吾之子。言訖復入棺長往。

The master spoke the verse of entrustment, bathed his body with fragrant water, changed clothes, and sat peacefully. He ordered the coffin to be carried to the room, and after a good while, entered the coffin by himself. After three days passed, his disciple and Ācārya Yu of the temple opened the coffin without permission to view him. The master was lying auspiciously on his right side. The fourfold assembly wept in sorrow, so the master rose again, ascended the hall, preached the Dharma, and severely admonished them, saying, "Whoever opens my coffin again this time is not my son!" Having finished speaking, he entered the coffin again and departed forever.
