In the Song dynasty, Lady Huang was a person of Siming. Having lost her husband early, she returned to her father's home and diligently cultivated pure karma. When her end approached, she saw the Buddha coming to welcome her; forming a mudrā, she walked slowly forward and passed away majestically standing up. Her family sifted ashes on the ground to test her place of rebirth and saw a single lotus flower growing out of the ashes.
