> Chan Master Foyin was named Liaoyuan, with the courtesy name Juelawo. He was a son of the Lin family of Fuliang in Raozhou, who were scholars for generations. In his youth he left household life at Baoji Monastery, taking the śramaṇa Riyong as his master. He was tested on the Lotus Sūtra and received full ordination. Traveling to Mount Lu, he visited Chan Master Kaixian Xian, who praised him. At the age of seventeen, he visited Chan Master Yuantong Ne. Because the scribe Huailian had answered an imperial summons and left his office vacant, Ne appointed the Master to succeed him. At the age of twenty-eight, he resided at Chengtian Monastery in Jiangzhou as the heir of Kaixian. From Chengtian, he moved to Doufang in Huainan; Kaixian and Guizong on Mount Lu; Jinshan and Jiaoshan in Runzhou; and Dayang in Yuanzhou, Jiangxi. He resided at Yunju for forty years, his virtue reaching monks and laity alike. When Academician Su Shi was exiled to Huangzhou, the Master was residing on Mount Lu; Guizong faced Huangzhou across the river, and they exchanged poetic verses with each other. On the fourth day of the first month in the first year of Yuanfu of Emperor Zhezong, he took leave of the assembly in conversation, and passed away with a smile. His worldly age was sixty-seven, and his monastic rains retreats were fifty-two. The Master was the Dharma heir of Kaixian Shanxian; Xian was the heir of Deshan Yuan; Yuan was the heir of Shuangquan Yu; and Yu was the heir of Chan Master Yunmen Yan (Xudeng \[lu\]).
