Rebirth of Qing Chaoyin

Chaoyin. Her surname was Jin. She was from Changshu, Suzhou (Jiangsu). She married a man named Gong. Later, she became a widow and lived alone, strictly observing the chastity of a wife. She and her son Duanwu decided to take the monastic life together. After Duanwu became a monk, Chaoyin also went to Suzhou to pay homage to the nun Zhenru as her teacher. Later, she returned to her hometown, rented a house and practiced in it. The sound of chanting Amitabha Buddha continued all day and night. One day, she showed signs of a slight illness. After bathing, she put on her clothes and sat upright in the middle hall. At sunset, she calculated that she would attain rebirth at the time of Hai (nine to eleven o'clock in the evening)! Later, she put her hands into her sleeves, sat upright and attained rebirth at the age of seventy-three. This happened during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1661).

清 潮音

潮音。俗姓金，苏州（江苏）常熟人，嫁给龚姓人士，后来守寡独居严守妇节，与儿子端吾，一同发心出家。端吾既已出家为僧，潮音也到苏州，礼拜比丘尼真如为师。后来回到故里，租屋而在其中修行，日夜六时，念佛的声音浩浩不断。有一天，示现微疾，自己沐浴后披衣，端身正坐在中堂，日落黄昏时，自己计算说 ：“亥时（晚上九～十一点）就要去了！”后来把手收入袖子里，端身正坐而往生，年七十三岁，此事发生于清世祖顺治年间（西元一六四四～一六六一年）。（潮音事略）
