In the Song, Supervising Secretary and Prefect of Luzhou, Feng Ji, awakened to the mind-dharma under Chan Master Dahui Gao and took the title Upāsaka Budong (Immovable). After the crossing to the south, the Buddhist scriptural canons in monasteries everywhere had suffered damage and loss; Ji printed and donated [texts] to supplement them, completing over five thousand fascicles for forty-eight canons in all, and did the same for the four great divisions [of the Canon]. Wherever he went, he joined with worthy scholar-officials, eminent monks, and retired scholars to continue the legacy of the Lotus Society of Mount Lu, establishing monthly assemblies for mindful recollection of the Pure Land. Down to this year, Guiyou, on the third day of the tenth month in winter, he donned his official robes and cap, made double obeisance facing the palace, and then changed into the three monastic robes. Ascending the high seat in the full lotus posture, he recited a verse and passed away (Pudeng lu).
