江西隆興府（今降興路）兜率寺禪師。名從悅。生贛州熊氏。初首眾於道吾。謁雲蓋智和尚。智指之見洞山文禪師。深領奧旨。出世鹿苑。至是元祐六年冬十一月辛卯。師澡浴集眾說偈曰。四十有八。聖凡盡殺。不是英雄。龍安路滑。奄然而化。領法要悟心者。無盡居士商英張公。公遣使持祭且曰。老師於祖宗門下有大道力。不可使來者無所起敬。俾塔於龍安之乳峯。後為奏諡師號。嗣真淨文禪師。與法雲杲同稟。

Chan Master Congyue of Doushuai Monastery in Longxing Superior Prefecture of Jiangxi (now Longxing Circuit) was born into the Xiong clan of Ganzhou. At first he served as head monk at Daowu. He visited Venerable Zhi of Yunggai, who directed him to see Chan Master Wen of Dongshan, where he profoundly grasped the profound import. He assumed his first abbacy at Luyuan. At this point, in the eleventh month, on the xinmao day, in the winter of the sixth year of the Yuanyou era, the master bathed, assembled the congregation, and spoke a gāthā, saying: "Forty and eight, / Sages and worldlings all slain. / If not a hero, / The road on Long'an is slippery." He then passed away suddenly. The one who grasped the essentials of the Dharma and awakened to the mind was Layman Wujin, Lord Zhang Shangying. The lord dispatched an envoy to bring offerings of sacrifice, saying: "The deceased teacher had great power in the Way within the ancestral patriarchs' school; we must not let those of the future have nothing from which to raise reverence." He had him stupaed at Ru Peak on Long'an, and later petitioned to have a posthumous master's title bestowed upon him. He was a Dharma heir of Chan Master Zhenjing Wen and received the transmission together with Gao of Fayun.
