佛祖統紀 28.9

28.9

能奉。錢唐人。專修淨業。常夢佛光照身。或聞諸尼善言開發。一日無疾告其徒曰吾往生時至。少頃聞奉誦佛聲厲。奔往視之。則合掌面西坐逝矣。異香滿室樂音西邁。

Nengfeng was a native of Qiantang. She exclusively cultivated the Pure Land karma. She often dreamed of the Buddha’s light illuminating her body, or heard the virtuous words of nuns opening her mind. One day, without illness, she told her disciples, “The time for my rebirth has arrived.” A short while later, hearing Nengfeng’s voice reciting the Buddha’s name grow loud and clear, they rushed to look: she had joined her palms, faced west, and passed away while sitting. An extraordinary fragrance filled the room, and musical sounds traveled westward.
