無礙禪師　諱普智。別號一枝叟。浙江臨平褚氏子。出家龍井寺。依東溟日法師。授天台性具之學。優於講說。歷四大道場。門風大振。晚年開演於松江延慶寺。遂為終老。專修淨業寒暑不輟。是年春月二日微疾。會眾端坐面西念佛而逝。甞集註阿彌陀經一卷　旃檀瑞像至此二千四百年矣。

Chan Master Wu'ai: Taboo name Puzhi, also styled Yizhisou, was a son of the Chu family in Linping, Zhejiang. He left home at Longjing Monastery and relied on Master Dongming Ri, who transmitted to him the Tiantai doctrine of nature-inclusion. He excelled in exposition and traversed four great monasteries, causing the style of the school to flourish greatly. In his later years he preached at Yanqing Monastery in Songjiang, where he eventually spent his final days. He devoted himself exclusively to Pure Land practice without interruption, winter or summer. In the spring of this year, on the second day, feeling slightly unwell, he assembled the congregation, sat upright facing west, recited the Buddha's name, and passed away. He had once compiled a commentary on the Amitābha Sūtra in one fascicle. Up to this point, it had been two thousand four hundred years since the sandalwood auspicious image [was made].
