骑金龙见生母

忽一夜禅观中。似梦非梦。见一金龙飞至。长数丈。金光晃耀。公骑之。腾空至一山水秀丽花木清幽。楼阁宫殿。庄严奇妙。见母在楼阁上瞻眺。公大呼母亲。请你骑上龙来。到西方去龙降梦醒。

宣化偈曰：

飞龙在天见大人。空中楼阁幻即真。
请母同往西方去。梦醒依旧坐绳衾。

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.
