28.71

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.
