Wang Tian was a native of Cixi in Siming, styled Master Wugong (No Effort). In all matters, he thoroughly comprehended the central tenets of Chan and the Tiantai doctrinal gates. He composed the Jingtu zixin lu (Record of Confidence in the Pure Land) to elucidate the principle of the three bodies and four lands. In his later years, he concentrated his mind on recollecting the Buddha; facing west, he sat cross-legged and passed away. A wondrous fragrance filled the room. When his coffin was cremated, they retrieved one hundred and eight relics resembling beans.
