Chan Master Puyin: His taboo name was Yuanjing, his style name was Tianjing, and his sobriquet was Puyin. He was a son of the Ni clan of Kuaiji; his mother was of the Yan clan. He tonsured under the Venerable Li of Hongjiao, and received full ordination from Vinaya Master Ru of Zhaoqing. He went to Jiqing to receive from Dharma Master Ji of Tian'an the doctrine of the ten vehicles of cessation and contemplation and the three thousand [realms] inherent in the nature. He called upon Chan Master Yuansou Duan of Jingshan to clarify the path of direct pointing through single transmission. Master Duan praised him, saying, 'This is a man of prajñā.' Later, he traveled to Dalongxiang Monastery and met the Venerable Xin, Guangzhi, who was thoroughly versed in the teachings of both Confucianism and Buddhism. He made his appearance in the world at Changqing Monastery, and was promoted to Wanshou Chan Monastery. In the early years of Hongwu, the master, together with the Venerable Ri of Dongming and the Venerable Jin of Bifeng, was summoned into the inner palace to discuss the Way, and withdrew after being granted food. Later he served as abbot of Lingyin, but ultimately suffered false accusations and was demoted. On the nineteenth day of the first month of this year, he passed away.
