In the Song dynasty, Lady Gong of Qiantang spent her days practicing buddhamanasikāra and reciting the Amitābha Sūtra. Later she fell ill, and invited Vinaya Master Heng for instruction. Before he had finished his explanation, she sat upright and passed away. Her elderly concubine, Lady Yu, also practiced buddhamanasikāra without ceasing. One night in a dream, Lady Gong told her, "I have already been born in the Pure Land; you will be born there in seven days." When the time arrived, she passed away.
