5.32

Jingzhen lived at Jishan Monastery in Chang'an. Wearing patched robes and begging for food, throughout her life she harboured no anger. She chanted the Diamond Sūtra one hundred thousand times and was exclusively dedicated to the recollection of the Buddha. In the fifth year of Xianqing, she fell ill and told her disciples: "Within the fifth month, I have seen Amitābha Buddha ten times, and twice I have seen boys at play upon the jeweled lotuses of Sukhāvatī. I will attain rebirth in the highest grade." Having spoken these words, she crossed her legs and departed, a bright light illuminating the monastery.
