荊王夫人王氏。元祐中事西方甚精。恪獨一妾懈慢。夫人將逐之。其妾悲悔極加精進。一夕異香遍室。無疾而終。夫人忽夢。妾起居敘謝。因夫人訓責今獲往生。夫人曰。西方可往不。妾曰。但隨妾行。夫人隨之。見二池皆白蓮華。或榮或悴。妾曰。此皆世間發心修西方人也。人間纔發一念池中即生一花隨其勤墮榮悴各異。中有一花朝服而坐。其衣飄揚隨風消散。即見寶冠瓔珞莊嚴其身。妾曰。此楊傑也。又有一花朝服坐上。其花稍悴。曰此馬玗也。復前導數里。遙望金壇光明交徹。妾曰。此夫人化生處上品上生也。徐訪楊傑則已亡。馬玗則無恙。後夫人於生日秉爐焚香。觀音閣佇立而化（荊王楫徽宗之子）。

Lady Wang, wife of the Prince of Jing, during the Yuanyou era served the Western direction with great devotion. Only one concubine was lax and indolent, and the Lady was about to banish her. The concubine, filled with sorrow and remorse, exerted utmost diligence. One evening, a marvelous fragrance filled the room, and she passed away without illness. The Lady suddenly dreamed that the concubine greeted her to express gratitude: 'Because of the Lady's admonition, I have now attained rebirth.' The Lady asked, 'May one go to the West?' The concubine said, 'Just follow me.' The Lady followed her and saw two ponds, both with white lotus flowers, some blooming and some withered. The concubine said, 'These are all people in the world who aroused the aspiration to cultivate for the West. The moment a single thought arises in the human realm, a flower blooms in the pond; according to their diligence or indolence, the blooming and withering differ. Among them is a flower on which someone in court dress sits; his clothes flutter, dissolving with the wind, and one then sees jewel crowns and necklaces adorning his body.' The concubine said, 'This is Yang Jie.' There was another flower with someone in court dress sitting on it, but the flower was slightly withered; she said, 'This is Ma Yu.' Guiding her forward several miles more, she looked toward a golden altar whose brilliance was completely translucent. The concubine said, 'This is where the Lady will be reborn by transformation, in the highest grade of the highest rebirth.' Later, when she slowly made inquiries, Yang Jie had already died, while Ma Yu was unharmed. Afterward, on her birthday, the Lady held a censer, burned incense, stood in the Guanyin Pavilion, and was transformed. (Prince Ji of Jing was a son of Huizong.)
