English version: I often saw a canopy covering her. Many matchmakers came to propose marriage, but she refused them all. When she reached the age of twenty-four, her parents took her to Qiming Temple (Qiming Si) in Shan County to see Dile Ni (Dile Ni, name of a Bhikkhuni). She changed her clothes and began to observe the precepts. On that very day, the canopy disappeared naturally. She read extensively and deeply understood the principles in the scriptures. After receiving the precepts, the people of her hometown and the scholars of the time admired the righteousness and morality she demonstrated, and all admired her exquisite understanding. At the end of the Song Dynasty, there was a Dharma Master Sengrou (Sengrou Fashi, name of a Dharma Master) who traveled around the eastern regions, lecturing on scriptures and treatises. He went from Tu Sheng (Tu Sheng, place name) to Yu Xue (Yu Xue, place name), sometimes ascending Lingyin (Lingyin, temple name), and sometimes going to Gusu (Gusu, place name). Dharma Master Sengrou often spoke of the interest in the scriptures and treatises, and Hui (惠) its essential points of the scriptures, and was able to fluently explain their subtleties and explore their profound mysteries. During the Yongming (Yongming, era name) period of the Qi Dynasty, she also followed Dharma Master Huixi (Huixi Fashi, name of a Dharma Master) to study the 'Ten Recitation Vinaya' (Shi Song Lu, name of a scripture). What she comprehended daily was better than before, and what she understood monthly was more profound than before. Therefore, she moved to Zhaoming Temple (Zhaoming Si, temple name) in Shanyin (Shanyin, place name). She lectured on scriptures and precepts in turn, and her reputation was higher than that of Yue (Yue, place name). She did not accumulate private wealth, but used the offerings from others to decorate the temple and build exquisite buildings, as if by divine craftsmanship. Copying scriptures and casting Buddha statues, nothing was incomplete. Zhang Yuan (Zhang Yuan, person's name) of Wujun (Wujun, place name), Yu Yong (Yu Yong, person's name) of Yingchuan (Yingchuan, place name), and Zhou Yong (Zhou Yong, person's name) of Runan (Runan, place name) were all famous scholars of the time, and none did not personally go to pay their respects. Xiao Zhaozhou (Xiao Zhaozhou, person's name), the Prince of Baling of the Qi Dynasty, took office as the governor of Kuaiji (Kuaiji, place name) and provided her with generous offerings. Xiao Yuanjian (Xiao Yuanjian, person's name), the Prince of Hengyang of the Liang Dynasty, asked her to be his mother's teacher after arriving in the prefecture. She lived to the age of eighty-three and passed away in the fifteenth year of the Tianjian (Tianjian, era name) period of the Liang Dynasty.
