元鄭氏淨安。錢塘人。念佛日無虛度。得疾聞空中聲。曰汝行有期。毋得自怠。又見佛身金色。即奮起面西端坐。召其出家子義修。諷彌陀經。倏然而化。其女夢。母報曰。吾已得生淨土。可聞諸修師云。

Zheng Jing'an of the Yuan dynasty was a native of Qiantang. Not a day passed without her practicing buddhamanasikāra. Falling ill, she heard a voice from the sky saying, "Your departure has an appointed time; do not be negligent." She also saw the golden body of the Buddha, whereupon she roused herself, sat upright facing west, and summoned her son Yixiu, who had taken pravrajyā, to chant the Amitābha Sūtra. She then suddenly transformed. Her daughter had a dream in which the mother reported, "I have already attained rebirth in the Pure Land; you may inform Master Xiu of this."
