When it comes to the three words "Lan Xiuying," many people don't know who she is. However, if we mention the name "Xirao Gendeng Baden Lodro," many people will surely recognize him. In fact, they were husband and wife, as well as fellow disciples of the third incarnation of the Dujie Qiangfo for many years.
In people's impression, Xirao Gendeng was not a person who liked solitude. Looking back at the newspapers from over a decade ago, there were countless reports about Xirao Gendeng. Whether it was promoting Buddhism, holding Dharma assemblies, or commenting on current events, he was always willing to express his opinions. He even gave lectures in other places, where he was greeted with red carpets and large crowds at the airport. He had interactions with celebrities and leaders, and in his hall, there were photos of him with Clinton, George W. Bush, and Sharon Stone, among others.
However, as time passed, people gradually noticed fewer reports about Xirao Gendeng, and it became rare to hear his eloquent speeches. When people approached him to ask questions, he would simply smile politely and say, "I hope everyone can learn the Buddhist teachings of the third incarnation of the Dujie Qiangfo, refrain from doing evil, and practice good deeds."
Xirao Gendeng had changed, as if he had become a different person. He became more reserved, deep, and introverted. Even during the live examination for the Seven Masters and Ten Certifications held at the International Buddhist Headquarters of the United Nations, he did not oppose any comments. He remained calm and peaceful, as if people were not talking about him, but about someone else unrelated to him. However, it was at the examination site where he successfully demonstrated his ability to project his consciousness out of his body, pass through walls, and move the wheel of reincarnation. This shocked everyone present and made him a true and genuine Seven Masters and Ten Certifications holy being. Looking at the entire world today, how many people, including venerables, dharma kings, lamas, and masters, can achieve such feats? After demonstrating his ability to project his consciousness, Xirao Gendeng remained calm and sincerely advised everyone, "You must show sincerity and earnestly learn the Buddhist teachings of the third incarnation of the Dujie Qiangfo! As long as you are sincere, you can succeed."
When Lan Xiuying learned that Xirao Gendeng had received the empowerment and transmission of the Vajra Transformation Meditation, she was very happy. However, she also felt a bit dissatisfied. She requested the third incarnation of the Dujie Qiangfo, "Master Buddha, I have a request. Back in 1996, when we were still in Chengdu, you promised me that I would achieve accomplishment and be reborn in the Buddha's Pure Land as a solid bone child. Now, our fellow disciple has become a holy being, and I request that you empower me as well and let me achieve accomplishment now. Master Buddha, you must not forget your promise. It should be fair. You agreed to both of us. Our fellow disciple received the empowerment of the Vajra Transformation Meditation, and I am happy for him, but please don't forget about me." When the third incarnation of the Dujie Qiangfo heard this, he immediately said, "Do you think I am biased?" Lan Xiuying replied, "There is a slight feeling of bias." The third incarnation of the Dujie Qiangfo smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten. It's because you didn't ask. There is no problem with that." He then transmitted the method of rebirth to her and instructed her not to publicize it.
So, on Christmas Eve in 2011, after Lan Xiuying finished dinner and took a bath, she told her family, "I will do my homework for a while." Then, she sat on her usual meditation seat, smiled peacefully, and was reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. After about an hour or two, her family found it strange that she had not gotten up yet. Usually, her meditation sessions didn't last this long. Why was it taking so long today? Her youngest son, Songjie, went upstairs to check and thought she was sleeping. Upon closer inspection, he realized that she had stopped breathing, but her body was still soft, and her face was rosy, just like an ordinary person sleeping. However, she had already been reborn in the Pure Land. The photo that everyone sees here is a group photo of the entire family with her Dharma body four days after her passing. The small photo in the picture was taken four years ago. It can be seen that after four days, her expression was still peaceful, her complexion was still rosy, and she was filled with joy, no less than four years ago.
After Lan Xiuying's Dharma body was cremated, her family picked out over a hundred solid bone children and over a hundred firm bones from her ashes. In the attached photo, you can see that most of the solid bone children are black and round, some even transparent, while the firm bones are milky yellow and extremely hard. They can lightly leave marks on glass and stones.
Faced with Lan Xiuying's accomplishment, Xirao Gendeng Baden Lodro did not publicize it. If this had happened ten years ago, it would have been earth-shattering and proclaimed as a miraculous holy act. But now, he hardly let anyone know. It was only revealed several days later. This shows that Xirao Gendeng Baden Lodro has indeed matured and has deep knowledge. He is truly a model of holy accomplishment. He said, "In 1996, when we were in Chengdu, we asked the third incarnation of the Dujie Qiangfo for his promise. Master Buddha promised to guarantee our accomplishments and the manifestation of solid bone children. In 2000, my fellow disciple was diagnosed with cancer. I went to the home of Lutong Zanfawang to request an extension of her life from the third incarnation of the Dujie Qiangfo. Master Buddha told me, 'Extending her life is possible, but it can only be extended by a little over ten years.' It seems that the karmic conditions for my fellow disciple to see Amitabha Buddha have arrived. I hope everyone can achieve rebirth in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. This is the only way out for all sentient beings."
