19.39

又淨土三昧經云。若人造善惡。生天墮地獄。臨命終時。各有迎人。病欲死時。眼自見來迎。應生天上者。天人持衣伎樂來迎。應生他方者。眼見尊人為說妙言。若為惡墮地獄者。眼見兵士持刀楯矛戟索圍遶之。所見不同。口不能言。各隨所作得其果報。天無枉濫平直無二。隨其所作天網治之。

The *Jingtu sanmei jing* also states: "Whether a person creates good or evil, [determines whether they] are born in heaven or fall into hell. At the end of life, there are always those who come to welcome them. When one is sick and about to die, one's eyes personally see those who come to receive them. Those who should be born in heaven are welcomed by devas holding robes, instruments, and music. Those who should be born in another realm see in their eyes a venerable person speaking wondrous words to them. If one has done evil and is to fall into hell, one's eyes see soldiers holding swords, shields, spears, halberds, and ropes surrounding them. What they see differs, yet their mouths cannot speak; each receives their retribution in accordance with what they have done. Heaven is free of wrongful injustice, fair and upright without partiality; according to what has been done, the net of heaven executes judgment."
