法華傳記 7.28

7.28

A young daughter of the Yang family in Anju County resolved her mind to recite the Devadatta Chapter of the Lotus. Smearing her hands with incense, she touched the sūtra; holding incense in her mouth, only then did she begin to recite. When her mother fell ill, she recited it for her and the illness vanished. Reciting the sūtra facing a lamp in the quiet night, an extraordinary fragrance suddenly arrived. After twelve years of sincerity, her female organs disappeared and male organs arose, but she kept it secret and did not speak of it. At the time of her death, a single stem of lotus grew beside her head. The assembly all considered it a sign of rebirth in the Pure Land.
