Jingwen's wife had long been ill in bed, and Jingwen encouraged her to practice recollection of Amitābha Buddha. She then practiced recollection of the Buddha for two years without interruption, and thereupon she saw the Pure Land. She told Jingwen: "I have seen the Buddha, and will certainly depart next month." She also presented food to her parents, saying: "Now I have attained rebirth accompanying the Sage. I wish that my parents and husband will dedicate yourselves to recollection of the Buddha, and come to the Western Direction to meet me." Having spoken, she passed away. Three days before, she had seen a lotus flower as large as the sun's disc.
