宋四明孫氏。寡居念佛。三十年不懈。一日微恙。夢八僧繞行懺宮。己身掛縵衣。隨僧行。既覺沐浴淨衣。請僧行懺。於大眾前。端坐誦經。至一心不亂。左手結印而逝。遠近皆聞空中樂音。

In the Song dynasty, Lady Sun of Siming was a widow who practiced buddhamanasikāra for thirty years without slacking. One day she had a slight illness, and dreamed of eight monks circumambulating the repentance hall, while she herself wore an unpieced monastic robe and followed the monks. Having awakened, she bathed, put on clean clothes, and invited monks to conduct repentance rites. Before the great assembly, she sat upright reciting sūtras; when she reached the phrase "with one mind undistracted," she formed a mudrā with her left hand and passed away. Far and near, all heard the sound of music in the sky.
