宋張繼祖。鎮江人。信西方淨土。乳母死。多為念佛追薦。一夕夢。母來謝云。荷君念佛。已生善趣。

Zhang Jizu of the Song dynasty was a native of Zhenjiang who had faith in the Western Pure Land. When his wet-nurse died, he frequently recited the Buddha to deliver her soul. One night he dreamed his wet-nurse came to thank him, saying, 'Relying on your reciting the Buddha, I have already been reborn in a good realm.'
