Zhili, styled Fazhi, resided at Nanhu and authored the *Subcommentary on the Wonderful Meaning* to explain the Tiantai *Commentary on the Contemplation Sūtra*, greatly illuminating the principle of contemplating the mind and contemplating the Buddha. Every year on the full moon of the second month, he would establish an assembly for Buddha-recitation and conferring precepts, which regularly attracted over ten thousand people. He also wrote the *Explanation of Integrating the Mind*, clarifying the three contemplations in one mind and revealing the meaning of the four pure lands. Later, on New Year's Day, he established the Repentance of Radiant Light. On the fifth day, he summoned the great assembly to preach the Dharma, suddenly chanted the Buddha's name several hundred times, and passed away peacefully while seated.
