母明氏寢疾，霽年已五十，衣不解帶者七旬，誦《觀世音經》，數至萬遍，夜因感夢，見一僧謂曰：「夫人算盡，君精誠篤至，當相爲申延。」 When his mother Lady Ming fell ill, though fifty he did not leave her side for seventy days, chanting the Guanshiyin sutra tens of thousands of times; in a dream a monk said, "Your mother's span is done, but your devotion is so deep I shall ask to extend it."
