When her mother died and was encoffined, foul blood dripped down. The daughter took an oath, saying, "If my filial heart is true, let no foul odor arise." As she finished speaking, the blood flow ceased immediately. Her father married a second wife, who joined her in cultivating pure karma. Later she fell ill, and invited monks to explain the method of contemplating the Pure Land. Suddenly she asked for her clothes and lay down in the auspicious posture, grasping the banner held in Guanyin's hand, motionless and still. Her stepmother sifted ashes on the ground to test her place of rebirth, and saw several lotus flowers emerging from the ashes. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.188](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.188) - [Next: 2.190](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.190) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072~en-mt.2.189) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.189](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.189) · Pramāṇa
