Zhang Yuanshou from Bingzhou made a living by killing living and drinking. After the death of his parents, he broke off his killing karma and focused on chanting Amitabha, and he also vowed to build a three-foot-tall Amitabha Buddha statue in order to save his parents, placed it in the room, lit up with incense and flowers, and offered worship. One day, he dreamed that there was light in the room, and there was a lotus platform in the light, and there were more than 20 people on it, two of whom called Yuan Shou's name, and Yuan Shou asked: Who are you? Answer: We are your parents, although we know the samadhi of chanting Buddha, but because when we were alive, we had good wine and meat, and killed too many fish and birds, so we fell into hell. Yesterday, a monk who was three feet tall came to hell to preach the Dharma, and we and more than 20 people who had common karma listened to the monk talk about the Dharma, and we all left hell and ascended to the Pure Land. Now that the time has come, I will tell you that those people in the air are those who have a common karmic affinity with us. After saying that, Yuanshou's parents pointed to the west and went. After Yuan Shou woke up, he told the monks what he had dreamed of, and the monks all said that the three-foot monk was the Amitabha Buddha who had created him, and he would go to hell to relieve suffering!
