Rebirth of Bhikkhuni Cheng Jing (Ming Dynasty)

Cheng Jing. Her courtesy name was Shi Xiu. She was from Donggang, Guangzhou. She had observed the precepts since childhood. Later, she became a nun and received the full precepts. She practiced the method of chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name without stopping. She once encouraged the public to make a sandalwood statue of the Thousand-armed Thousand-eyed Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara. The next year, she had a minor illness and knew that the time of her rebirth was coming. She told her disciples, “The Thousand-armed Thousand-eyed Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara is here to take me away. I am leaving!” After saying this, she closed her eyes and attained rebirth.

明 成静

成静。字实修，广州东冈人。从幼年时，即奉持斋戒。后来出家，受具足戒。平日修习念佛法门不曾停止。曾经劝勉大众造栴檀木的千手千眼大悲观世音菩萨圣像。到了明年，得了些微的疾病，预知往生的时至。告诉弟子说 ：“千手千眼大悲观世音菩萨，来此接引我，我去了！”说完即闭目而往生。（观音慈林集）
