In the Song dynasty, Lady Zhu of Zhachuan practiced buddhamanasikāra for thirty years. Suddenly she fasted for forty days, only drinking water and chanting the Buddha's name. She dreamed of three monks, each holding a lotus flower, who said to her, "We planted these flowers for you long ago; you are now to attain rebirth." Having awakened, she invited monks to assist in chanting, sat upright, and passed away.
