宋潮山黃婆。持金剛法華。專心念佛。忽患痢疾。但飲水不食。隣菴僧善修。夢婆來謂曰。將往西方。越二日婆西向念佛。端坐而化。遠近皆見紅霞覆婆之屋。

Old Woman Huang of Mount Chao in the Song dynasty maintained the Vajracchedikā and the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka, and focused her mind single-mindedly on buddhamanasikāra. She suddenly contracted dysentery, and drank only water without eating food. Shanxiu, a monk from a neighbouring hermitage, dreamed that the old woman came and told him, "I am about to depart for the Western Direction." Two days later, facing west, the old woman practiced buddhamanasikāra, sat upright, and transformed. People far and near all saw a rosy cloud covering her house.
