往生西方淨土瑞應傳 1.73

1.73

宋朝魏世子父子三人修西方。唯妻不信。女年十四死。七日却迴。啟母曰。兒見西方。父兄三人已有蓮華。後當化生。唯孃獨無。兒今暫歸相報。至後孃依兒教日念西方。四人盡得往生。

Wei Shizi of the [Liu] Song dynasty, together with his two sons—three people—cultivated the Western [Pure Land]. Only his wife did not believe. His daughter died at the age of fourteen. After seven days she came back and reported to her mother, saying: 'I saw the Western Land. For my father and two brothers, lotus flowers already exist, and they will transformatively take birth later. Only mother alone has none. I have now briefly returned to inform you.' Afterwards, the mother followed the daughter's instruction and was daily mindful of the Western Land. All four people attained rebirth.
