如來在金棺囑累清淨莊嚴敬福經(新西方胡國中來出皇涅槃中)
如是我聞。一時佛在拘尸那城娑羅雙樹間。說涅槃訖竟。垂入金棺。欲焚其身。偏坐金棺楯上。雙目出淚放光動地。無量大菩薩眾天龍八部等悉皆生疑。爾時須菩提白佛言。世尊今欲普為大眾仰請決疑。不審聽不。佛言。任汝所請。須菩提白佛言。世尊如來恒說涅槃常樂永無生死。何由今坐金棺楯上涕淚交流令眾疑也。

The Sutra on the Pure, Adorned, Reverent, and Auspicious Entrustment in the Golden Coffin is a Buddhist scripture suspected to have been composed in China, with an unknown author. It is traditionally believed to have originated from the Sui or Tang dynasty, though the original text has been lost. The content records Śākyamuni Buddha’s final instructions to his disciples before entering nirvana, delivered from within a golden coffin. He urged them to emphasize pure practice, dignified reverence, and the accumulation of merit, highlighting the importance of precepts and the cultivation of blessings. This scripture reflects the emphasis on ritual and practice in Chinese Buddhism. Although not an Indian original, it holds influence within East Asian Buddhism, particularly embodying the Mahāyāna integration of worldly reverence and merit with transcendent purity.
