法華傳記 7.32

7.32

尼妙空蔬食紙衣。專讀法華經。乃至不受餘經一偈。常願生極樂。兼解念佛三昧。臨終之時。紫雲覆室。異香遍一縣。後弟子尼夢。吾一生持法華。生極樂上品中生。若兼解義。必上品上生耳。

The nun Miaokong ate vegetarian food and wore paper clothing, exclusively reciting the Lotus Sūtra, to the extent that she would not accept even a single verse of other sūtras. She constantly vowed to be born in the Land of Utmost Bliss, and also understood the Buddha-remembrance samādhi. At the time of her death, purple clouds covered the room, and an extraordinary fragrance pervaded the entire county. Later, her disciple nun dreamed that [Miaokong said], "Having upheld the Lotus throughout my life, I was born in the middle rank of the highest grade in the Land of Utmost Bliss. If I had also understood its meanings, I would surely have attained the highest rank of the highest grade."
