Shanben obtained ordination by passing the examination on the Avataṃsaka Sūtra. From Jingci he was summoned by imperial decree to reside at Fayun, and was bestowed the title Datong. Later he returned to Xiangwu in Hangzhou to focus on cultivating Pure Land practice. A monk in samādhi saw Amitābha Buddha in the abbot's quarters displaying a golden body. One day [Shanben] told his disciples: "Only three days remain." When the time arrived, he sat cross-legged facing west and passed away.
