1th May, 2017 is the first day of Labour Holidays in China. When many youngsters wish to go somewhere for ephemeral fun, An 82-year- old woman passed away about 4 am in a temple in Zhejiang China in her own way to go to Truly Happy World.
Nobody can control the last face. But she can control her gesture when leaving this world, very peacefully. No agony, only peace. Before passing away about 3 AM, she told other practioners, she saw Amitabha came and she would go to the Truly Happy. She required others not to touch her after her death. She chose a special gesture to say good-bye to this world. She stopped breathing standing and kept standing after the death. Before sawing this picture, Chinese Buddhists only heard of such a free death from ancient books or some stories.
She was not the only one who stand to died. That was not a miracle. It was the praise for her diligent and faith and persistence. It is replicable for other practioners if they are diligent as she did. She got up to keep on repeating ‘Namo Amitabha’ 2:30 AM every morning when she lived in the Temple. She slept for only about 4 hours every day. She did not waste her time on money or power purchasing. She deserved the True freedom and Happiness of life.
She chose her way as she did in her everyday life, peacefully and hopefully as ancient Chinese Buddhists did.
