[15] Táng [Dynasty’s] Cháng’ān’s Bhikṣuṇī Jìngzhēn

净真,住长安积善寺,衲衣乞食,一生无瞋。

Jìngzhēn, lived [in] Cháng’ān’s Jīshàn [i.e. Accumulation (Of) Good] Temple. [Every day, she wore her] monastic robes [to] beg [for alms] food, [and was with] all [of her] life without anger.

诵《金刚经》十万遍,专精念佛。

[She] recited [the] Vajra Sūtra ten thousand times, [and] focused diligently [on] recitation [of the] Buddha[‘s name].

显庆五年染疾,告弟子云:「五月内十度见阿弥陀佛,两度见极乐世界宝莲华上童子游戏,吾得上品往生。」

[In] Xiǎnqìng’s fifth year [i.e. 660 C.E.], [she] told [her] disciples, ‘Within [the] fifth month, [as I had] ten times seen Amitā[bha] Buddha, [and] two times seen [the] Land [Of] Ultimate Bliss’ treasure lotus pond, [with] youths playing above, I [will] attain [the] High Grade’s rebirth.’

言讫,跏趺而去。光照其寺。

[With these] words completed, [she] sat [in the] lotus posture and departed, [as] light illuminated that temple.
