騎金龍見生母

忽一夜禪觀中。似夢非夢。見一金龍飛至。長數丈。金光晃耀。公騎之。騰空至一山水秀麗花木清幽。樓閣宮殿。莊嚴奇妙。見母在樓閣上瞻眺。公大呼母親。請你騎上龍來。到西方去龍降夢醒。

宣化偈曰：

飛龍在天見大人。空中樓閣幻即真。
請母同往西方去。夢醒依舊坐繩衾。

Riding a golden dragon and seeing his mother

One night, while absorbed in dhyana meditation, in a dream which wasn't a dream, the Master suddenly saw a flying golden dragon alight. It was several tens of feet long and glittered with golden light. The Master mounted the dragon and ascended through the sky to a dark green wooded area, which flourished with flowers of rare beauty. There were exquisitely adorned palaces and pagodas everywhere. He saw his mother gazing out from one of the pagodas and called to her, "come mount the dragon so we can fly to the West!" As the dragon descended, the Master suddenly returned to ordinary awareness.

The gatha says:
A flying dragon came from the heavens and spied a noble man.
Illusory pagodas and towers in empty space appeared to be real enough.
He invited his mother to accompany him to the Western Land.
When the vision was over, he was sitting as before -- alone on a mat of straw.
