第十四中陰有者若人中死還生人中。則有相現。於臨終時見如是相見大石山。猶如影相。在其身上。爾時其人作如是念。此山或當墮我身上。是故動手欲遮此山。親里見之。謂為觸於虛空。既見此已。又見此山。猶如白㲲。即升此㲲。乃見赤㲲。次第臨終復見光明。見其父母愛欲和合。而起顛倒。若男子生。自見其身與母交會。謂父妨礙。若女人生。自見其身與父交會。謂母妨礙。當於爾時。中陰即壞生陰次起。如印所印。印壞文成。是名人中命終還生人中。是名第十四中陰有也。

Fourteenth, regarding the intermediate existence: if one dies among humans and is reborn back among humans, signs appear. At the time of approaching death, one sees such a sign: one sees a great rocky mountain, like a shadow, over one's body. At that time, that person thinks: 'This mountain may fall upon my body.' Therefore, one moves one's hands wanting to ward off this mountain. Relatives, seeing this, take it to be touching empty space. Having seen this, one then sees this mountain as being like white fine-cloth; thereupon one mounts this fine-cloth, and then sees red fine-cloth. Successively approaching death, one again sees light, and sees one's parents united in loving desire, whereupon inversions arise: if to be born as a male, he sees himself copulating with the mother and considers the father an impediment; if to be born as a female, she sees herself copulating with the father and considers the mother an impediment. At that very time, the intermediate existence breaks up and the existence of birth arises in succession, like the stamping of a seal: when the seal breaks, the impression is formed. This is called dying among humans and being reborn back among humans. This is called the fourteenth intermediate existence.
