The Nun Jingzhen of the Tang dynasty resided at Jishan Monastery in Chang'an. Wearing patched robes and begging for food, she recited the Diamond Sūtra one hundred thousand times and single-mindedly practiced buddhamanasikāra. She said to her disciples, 'Within the fifth month I saw the Buddha ten times, and twice I saw young boys playing upon precious lotuses. I have already attained the highest grade of rebirth.' Having spoken, she sat cross-legged and passed away. An auspicious light filled the hermitage.
