{{Further|Rebirth (Buddhism)}}
There are stories in [[Buddhism]] where the power of resurrection was allegedly demonstrated in Chan or [[Zen]] tradition. One is the [[legend]] of [[Bodhidharma]],<ref>{{Cite book |last=Adamek |first=Wendi Leigh |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/166230168 |title=The mystique of transmission: on an early Chan history and its contexts |date=2007 |isbn=978-0-231-51002-8 |location=New York |page=154 |oclc=166230168}}</ref> the Indian master who brought the [[Ekayana]] school of India that subsequently became [[Chan Buddhism]] to China.

The other is the passing of Chinese Chan master [[Puhua]] (Japanese: Jinshu Fuke), recounted in the Record of [[Linji Yixuan|Linji]] (Japanese: Rinzai Gigen). Puhua was known for his unusual behavior and teaching style. Hence, it is no wonder that he is associated with an event that breaks the usual prohibition on displaying such powers. Here is the account from Irmgard Schloegl's "The Zen Teaching of Rinzai."

"One day at the street market Fuke was begging all and sundry to give him a robe. Everybody offered him one, but he did not want any of them. The master [Linji] made the superior buy a coffin, and when Fuke returned, said to him: "There, I had this robe made for you." Fuke shouldered the coffin, and went back to the street market, calling loudly: "Rinzai had this robe made for me! I am off to the East Gate to enter transformation" (to die)." The people of the market crowded after him, eager to look. Fuke said: "No, not today. Tomorrow, I shall go to the South Gate to enter transformation." And so for three days. Nobody believed it any longer. On the fourth day, and now without any spectators, Fuke went alone outside the city walls, and laid himself into the coffin. He asked a traveler who chanced by to nail down the lid.

The news spread at once, and the people of the market rushed there. On opening the coffin, they found that the body had vanished, but from high up in the sky they heard the ring of his hand bell.<ref>Schloegl, Irmgard; tr. "The Zen Teaching of Rinzai".
