1.12

As the Guanfo sanmei jing states: Long ago in the past, immeasurable lifetimes ago, there was a Buddha who appeared in the world named Jewel-Awe-Virtue-Supreme-King. At that time there was a bhikṣu who, together with nine disciples, went to a stūpa to pay homage to a Buddha image. Seeing a precious image that was splendid, magnificent, and delightful to behold, after paying homage they gazed at it attentively and recited verses in praise. Later, when their lives ended, they were all reborn in the eastern Buddha-land of Jewel-Awe-Virtue-Supreme-King within great lotus flowers, suddenly taking apparitional rebirth sitting cross-legged.
