宋陳氏媼。錢塘人。從靈芝律師。受菩薩戒。專心念佛日課千拜。甞有舍利散於經案。臨終見佛來迎。顧語旁人。未及半已凝然不動矣。

In the Song dynasty, the matron Lady Chen was a person of Qiantang. She received the bodhisattva precepts from Vinaya Master Lingzhi. Single-mindedly practicing buddhamanasikāra, she made a daily practice of one thousand prostrations. Once, relics were found scattered across her sūtra desk. When her end approached, she saw the Buddha coming to welcome her. Looking back, she spoke to those beside her, but before she had finished half a sentence, she was already motionless and still.
