He dreamed of seeing a expanse of water, and a hundred people boarded a boat wishing to go to the Western \[Land\], and he asked to board with them. The people on the boat would not permit it. Zhen said: "Throughout my life I have cultivated the karma for the Western \[Land\]; for what reason will you not permit me?" The people on the boat said: "The Master's karma lacks the recitation of the Amitābha-sūtra, as well as the provision of a bathhouse \[for the saṅgha\]." Thereupon, the people on the boat all set off at once. Having been unable to go, he wept and awoke from sleep; he then recited the sūtra and provided baths for monks. At a later time, he dreamed again: one person on a silver multi-storey pavilion raised his hand and said: "Your karma is already complete; apply your mind well. Therefore I have come to inform you: you are certain to be born in the West." On the night he approached his end, the mountaintop appeared as if several tens of torches were blazing, and a strange fragrance filled the monastery. After his death, inside a sūtra case, the written testament he left during his life was retrieved. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2084.2.51) - [Next: 2.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2084.2.53) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2084.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2084~en-mt.2.52) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2084.2.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2084.2.52) · Pramāṇa
