越州天衣禪師名義懷。溫州樂清陳氏子。長遊京師。依景德寺為童行。天聖年間試經得度。師七坐道場。晚年以疾居池陽杉山庵。門弟子杭州臨平山佛日禪師智才迎歸侍奉。至是嘉祐五年。才往蘇州。師速其歸。才至。師說偈曰。紅日照扶桑。寒雲封華嶽。三更過鐵圍拶折驪龍角。才曰。卵塔既成如何是畢竟事。師舉拳示之。遂就寢推枕而寂。塔全身寺東之原。師嗣雪竇顯禪師。徽宗崇寧中諡振宗禪師。

Chan Master Tianyi of Yuezhou was named Yihuai. He was a son of the Chen family of Yueqing in Wenzhou. Grown up, he traveled to the capital, relying on Jingde Temple as a novice postulant. During the Tiansheng reign era, he took the examinations on the scriptures and was ordained. The Master sat in seven bodhimaṇḍas. In his later years, due to illness, he resided at Shanshan Hermitage in Chiyang. His disciple, Chan Master Fori Zhicai of Mount Linping in Hangzhou, welcomed him back to attend upon him. In the fifth year of Jiayou, Cai went to Suzhou, and the Master urged him to return quickly. When Cai arrived, the Master spoke a verse: / 'The red sun illuminates Fusang; / Cold clouds envelop Mount Hua. / At the third watch passing through the Iron Enclosure, / The black dragon's horn is snapped off.' / Cai said: 'Since the egg-shaped stupa is already completed, what is the ultimate matter?' The Master raised his fist to show him. He then went to bed, pushed aside his pillow, and passed away. His whole body was stupaed on the plains east of the monastery. The Master was the dharma heir of Chan Master Xuedou Xian. During the Chongning reign era of Emperor Huizong, he was posthumously titled Chan Master Zhenzong.
