集神州三寶感通錄 3.39

3.39

The monk Daoji resided at Fucheng Temple in Yizhou in the early Zhenguan reign era. He was fluent in reciting the Nirvāṇa Sūtra, and made wearing clean robes and bathing his constant rule. Loving-kindness and universal deliverance were firm in his deep heart. When he died in the fifth month, though the heat was blazing, his corpse did not rot or stink; for over a hundred days, he remained sitting cross-legged as before. Monastics and laypeople alike praised him.
