3.83

又分別功德論云。第一念佛何事。佛身金剛無有諸漏。若行時足離地四寸。千輪相文跡現於地。足下諸蟲七日安隱。若其命終皆得生天。昔有一惡比丘。本是外道假服誹謗。逐如來行。自殺飛蟲著佛跡處。言佛蹈殺。然蟲雖死。遇佛跡處尋還得活。若入城邑。足蹈門閾天地大動。百種。音樂不鼓自鳴。諸聾盲瘂百病自除。覩佛相好隨行得度。功德所濟不可稱計。總會萬行運載為先。所謂念佛其義如此。

Furthermore, the Fenbie gongde lun says: First, what matter is involved in buddhānusmṛti? The Buddha's body is adamantine, devoid of any āsravas. When he walks, his feet are four inches above the ground, and the impressions of the thousand-spoked wheel markings appear on the earth. The insects under his feet remain safe and at ease for seven days; if their lives end, they are all reborn in heaven. Formerly, there was an evil bhikṣu who was originally a non-Buddhist. Falsely assuming the monastic robes to slander [the Dharma], he followed behind the Tathāgata's walking, killed flying insects with his own hands, and placed them in the Buddha's footprints, claiming that the Buddha had stepped on and killed them. Yet, though the insects were dead, when they met the Buddha's footprints, they immediately returned to life. When he enters a city or town, as his foot treads upon the threshold, the earth quakes greatly, a hundred kinds of musical instruments sound on their own without being struck, and the deaf, blind, and mute, as well as those with a hundred ailments, are spontaneously cured. Beholding the Buddha's lakṣaṇānuvyañjana, one attains deliverance in accordance with one's practice. The deliverance wrought by his merits is beyond reckoning. In gathering all myriad practices together, conveying [beings across] is foremost. Such is the meaning of what is called buddhānusmṛti.
