Dharma Master Xiaoyin, whose personal name was Xin, was posthumously titled "Great Chan Master Guangzhi Quanwu" (Vast Wisdom and Complete Awakening). Because Emperor Wenzong knew him from when he was still a hidden dragon, he built the Longxiang Dajiqing Monastery and summoned the master to be its abbot. He was conferred the rank of Grand Master of the Palace (Dazhong Dafu) to take charge of the monastery's affairs. He received an imperial decree to collate the Baizhang Pure Rules newly compiled by Dehui. On the twenty-fourth day of the fifth month of that year, he passed away. In the eighth month, he was buried south of the city at Boyun Mountain, adjacent to the stūpa of the monk Kang Senghui. His conduct and path of cultivation are fully recorded in Yu Wenjing's Xuegu lu and in the stela inscriptions by the two venerable lords Huang Wenxian and Song Wenxian. The disciple who received his Dharma was Zongle, whose courtesy name was Jitan; during the Hongwu reign era, he served as abbot of Tianjie Monastery, and his fame was illustrious. At that time, when court appointments were offered to recluses, Taiyou remarked: "The hermit seeks nothing from the imperial court; it is the imperial court that seeks out the hermit. Why should titles and ranks be begrudged?"
