Chan Master Zhuyuan, taboo name Zhengyuan, courtesy name Zhuyuan, was of the Ouyang surname and a native of Nanyong. At age twenty-seven, he received the precepts. He first saw the venerable Ling; their question-and-answer brought him awakening, his wisdom opening and understanding harmonizing, free of internal and external obstacles. With heroic discourse and wise eloquence, his activity and stillness were both empty. He resided at famous monasteries such as Xingsheng Daochang and Lingyin. The Imperial Preceptor bestowed upon him the title 'Chan Master of Buddha-Wisdom, Compassionate Radiance, and Universal Response' (Fohui Cizhao Puying). Ministers of the regional commands invited him to be abbot of Jingshan. On the twenty-sixth day of the sixth month of this year, he passed away. His age was seventy-two; his monastic age was forty-five. His stupa was erected at Jingshan. In the eighth month, the Great Ming commanded its army to attack the Han. Xu Da said: "An army that fights for justice is strong." Liu Ji said: "To assume majesty and overcome the enemy lies precisely at this moment."
