Dharma Master Wenqi was a native of Jinhua. He studied the teachings under Fushi and became an accomplished talent. At the beginning of the Zhiping reign period, he repaired the old Jingyun Monastery north of the city to open a lecture hall. During a great summer drought, he daily expounded the Suvarṇaprabhāsa (Golden Light) Sūtra, reverently beseeching the devas; soon, sweet rain fell everywhere in abundance. The commandery governor, Lu Ge, memorialized the court to grant that site perpetual status as a place for the Tiantai propagation of teachings, and bestowed upon the Master the title Fayun (Dharma Cloud). He once fashioned images of the Nine Patriarchs, which were exceedingly exquisite and ornate. That the teachings and practices of Dongyang flourished was due to the Master's efforts. He had seventy-two disciples. Great Master Panyue Shansong presided over Cijue and transformed the entire area; Jushi presided over Jingde and was praised as a “tiger's cub.”
