28.88

上虞胡長婆李氏。夫喪後。日夜高聲誦彌陀經。凡十餘年。一旦有僧覆以緋蓋。告之曰。汝今月十五日夜子時去。問師何人。答曰。我是汝念者。婆遂會別諸親。至時果有異香光明。即端坐而逝。七日火化。齒如雪玉。舌如紅蓮。睛如蒲萄。皆精堅不壞。舍利不可以數。次日焚處生一花。如白罌粟然。

Elderly Lady Li, wife of Elder Hu of Shangyu, chanted the Amitābha Sūtra in a loud voice day and night for over ten years after her husband passed away. One morning, a monk shaded by a scarlet canopy told her, saying, 'You will depart on the fifteenth day of this month at the midnight hour.' She asked, 'Master, who are you?' He answered, 'I am the one you recite.' The old woman then gathered her relatives to take her leave. When the time arrived, there were indeed extraordinary fragrance and radiant light; sitting upright, she passed away. After seven days she was cremated: her teeth were like snowy jade, her tongue like a red lotus, and her pupils like grapes, all solid and indestructible. The relics were beyond count. The next day, where she was cremated, a flower grew resembling a white poppy.
