十誦律云。應隨時到病者。為說法是道非道發其智慧或隨他先習而讚嘆之令生歡喜（南山鈔有文）以臨終時妄業競集多無立志此是一期善惡升沉天隔應以經卷手示題目又將佛像對面觀矚常說法語念佛慎勿傳於世事。

The Daśādhyāya Vinaya states: One should visit the sick at appropriate times, explaining for them what is the Way and what is not the Way, awakening their wisdom, or praising them according to their prior practice to cause them to generate joy (there is a passage in the Nanshan chao). Because at the point of death, delusive karma gathers competitively and most people have no resolute will—this being the heavenly separation between ascent and descent according to good and evil in this single lifetime—one should point out the titles of sutra scrolls with one's hand, bring a Buddha image before them for face-to-face contemplation, constantly speak words of the Dharma, and recite the Buddha's name, being careful never to transmit worldly matters.
