佛祖統紀 28.71

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [28.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.28.71)

隋文帝皇后。心敬大乘常持佛號。臨終之夕異香滿宮。時尼大明與后最愛。每念佛時。先著淨衣口含沈香。忽眾聞沈香氣滿室異常。頃之有光明如雲來迎。向西而去。

> The Empress of Emperor Wen of the Sui revered the Mahāyāna in her heart and constantly maintained the Buddha's name. On the night of her end, a marvelous fragrance filled the palace. At that time the nun Daming was the Empress's dearest companion. Whenever \[Daming\] recited the Buddha's name, she would first put on clean clothes and hold aloeswood in her mouth. Suddenly everyone smelled the fragrance of aloeswood filling the room extraordinarily. Soon there was radiant light like clouds coming to welcome her, moving toward the west.
