In the Song dynasty, Lady Qin, Jingjian, had her home in Songjiang. Disgusted with the female body, she lived separately from her husband, strictly maintaining the dietary precepts. She read the Avataṃsaka, Lotus, Suvarṇaprabhāsa, and Prajñāpāramitā sūtras without a single day's lapse. Morning and evening she performed the Amitābha Repentance, bowing to the Buddha a thousand times; after a long time, bright light entered the room, and facing west, she sat peacefully and passed away.
