28.111

項氏妙智。四明鄞人。寡居二女悉令為尼。同居楊氏菴。見人唯勸念佛。晚歲偶疾。謂女尼曰。多有尼僧相待西歸。乃請人念佛。忽曰。我欲坐化錯與作棺也。女曰。佛用金棺無嫌也。母喜諷上品觀。轉身面西。兩手作印微笑而逝（紹定六年）。

Lady Xiang, [named] Miaozhi, was a native of Yin in Siming. Widowed, she had both of her two daughters become nuns and lived with them at Yang Hermitage. Whenever she saw people, she urged them only to recite the Buddha's name. In her late years, she fell ill and said to the nuns: 'Many nuns are waiting to escort me to the West.' She then invited people to recite the Buddha's name. Suddenly, she said: 'I wished to pass away seated; you made a coffin by mistake.' Her daughter said: 'The Buddha used a golden coffin; there is nothing amiss with it.' The mother happily chanted the Contemplation of the Highest Grade, turned her body to face west, formed a mudrā with both hands, and passed away with a smile (the sixth year of Shaoding).
