东晋阙公则
[3] Eastern Jìn [Dynasty’s] Quē Gōngzé

公则,远公莲社中人,已亡。

Gōngzé, [who was a] person within honourable [Great Master Huì]yuǎn’s [慧远] [White] Lotus Society [白莲社] [had] already departed.

友人于东京白马寺为作忌日,林木、殿宇皆金色,空中有声云:「我是阙公则,所祈往生极乐宝国,今已达矣,故来相报。」言讫不现。

[When his] friends in Dōngjīng’s [i.e. today’s Luòyáng (洛阳)] Báimǎ [White Horse] Monastery for [him] conducted [an] anniversary day [ceremony, the] forest’s trees [and] hall all [became] gold [in] colour, [as the] sky within had [a] voice saying, ‘I am Quē Gōngzé, [with] that prayer [to be] reborn [in the] treasure Land [Of] Ultimate Bliss, [have] now already reached [it], thus coming [to] report [this to] one another.’ [With these] words completed, [it was] no [longer] present.
