'He also emits a radiant light named "Seeing the Buddha";
That light awakens those whose lives are ending.
Through the Buddha-mindfulness samādhi they will surely see the Buddha,
And after life ends, they are born before the Buddha.
Thinking of them at death's door, one encourages wholesome mindfulness,
And shows them the venerable image, causing them to gaze upon it with reverence;
Furthermore, one encourages them to take refuge in the Buddha,
And for this reason they are able to behold the Buddha's light.'
