In the Song, wherever Dharma Master Yuanbian Daochen of Wenzhou resided, he established a bodhimaṇḍa for mindful recollection of the Pure Land on the twenty-third day of every month. Eminent figures from the Chan, Vinaya, and Doctrinal traditions all gathered, and the monks and laity regularly exceeded ten thousand people. Down to this year, Guiyou, on the sixteenth day of the twelfth month in winter, he sat peacefully and passed away. His Dharma-inheriting disciples were Falian, Huixun, and Shensao. Shao composed the Zhina ji in two fascicles, which was treasured across the rivers and lakes (Fofa xinian lu).
