  一ä½�走过八å��三载å²�月的悲苦è€�人，一则震撼人心，è�¡æ°”回肠的往生实例，一段常读常新，百看ä¸�厌的真实故事……《盲眼è€�人预知时至》å†�一次用事实昭示弥陀本愿ä¸�虚，众生称念必得往生。

      净秀居士的姑妈，自幼被é€�出家门，远离父æ¯�；离婚返回娘家，å†�次被赶出门；乃至父æ¯�去世，也ä¸�得入门é€�终；一生å«�四任丈夫，一嗜赌离异，一车祸身亡，一矿难而死，一暴病先å�’；生养五个儿女，两个亲女自å°�被å�–，二个养女生父早亡，一个亲å­�ä¸�éš�己长；

  晚景一身多病，多年�目失明。就是这样一个一生悲苦的人，一个�识字�没皈��没�素，甚至连��的�义都�了解的人，在�人�说念佛�，一�专称��，终�弥陀�虚本愿，��一个多月预知时至，梳妆打扮整�，殊胜往生。

  诚如净宗法师的按语所言：“这个盲è€�人的念佛往生是活的教æ��ã€�活的è¯�明，是佛ç»�祖著在凡夫身上活生生的体现，是以事实演绎给我们看的活的ç»�本ã€�活得祖著。”

  本书由净秀居士讲述，净宗法师整�，现将�制�通。

      欢迎广大莲å�‹åŠ©å�°ã€�索请ã€�æµ�通，功德无é‡�。

  Practitioners claim there is evidence of dying people going to the pure land, such as:

  • Knowing the time of death (é �知時至): some prepare by bathing and reciting the name of the Buddha Amitabha.
  • The "Three Saints of the West" (西方三è�–): AmitÄ�bha Buddha and the two bodhisattvas, AvalokiteÅ›vara on his right and MahÄ�sthÄ�maprÄ�pta on his left, appear and welcome the dying person. 
  • Records of practicing Pure Land Buddhists who have died have been known to leave Å›arÄ«rÄ�, or relics, after cremation.

  The last part of the body to become cold is the top of the head (posterior fontanelle). In Buddhist teaching, souls who enter the Pure Land leave the body through the fontanelle at the top of the skull. Hence, this part of the body stays warmer longer than the rest of the body. The Verses on the Structure of the Eight Consciousnesses (八識�矩補註),^[30] reads: "to birth in saints the last body temperature in top of head, to deva in eyes, to human in heart, to hungry ghosts in belly, to animals in knee cap, to the hells-realm in sole of feet." See also: phowa.

  The dying person may demonstrate some, but not necessarily all, of these evidences. For example, his facial expression may be happy, but he may not demonstrate other signs, such as sharira and dreams.
