7.17

又比丘尼法潤。姓陳。丹陽人也。住三昧寺。誦法華經。甚有道行。死後。屍陀林野。以施蟲獸。經停百許日。蟲鳥噉食都盡。唯舌與心。宛然俱存。舌猶赤色。而心稍如黑耳。其緣家子弟。乃收葬起塔。

There was also the nun Farun, whose surname was Chen, a native of Danyang. She resided at Sanmei Temple and recited the Lotus Sūtra, possessing great practice in the Way. After her death, her body was placed in the forest graveyard in the wilds to be given to insects and beasts. After resting for about a hundred days, though birds and insects had eaten away everything completely, only her tongue and heart remained intact together as before: the tongue was still red in color, while the heart was slightly blackish. The descendants of her family then collected them, buried them, and erected a stūpa.
