Whenever an occasion of mourning occurred, he upheld the precepts and restrained his grief. He would only practice the Way with increased diligence in order to fulfill the regulations for the mourning periods. In his final years, the śramaṇa Huishi invited Cheng to return to his home district to give lectures; when his relatives and old acquaintances all came to pay their respects, he instructed and encouraged them with sincere diligence, showing them filial piety and benevolence. When parting, they wept and tried persistently to detain him, but he would not stay. Returning to the capital, he rested at Anle Temple. The Wheel of the Dharma turned constantly, and he lectured on the great root text more than thirty times. In the second year of the Yongyuan era of the Qi (500 CE) he died, at seventy-two years of age. He composed the Expository Notes on the Meaning of the Daśādhyāya-vinaya (Shisong yiji) in eight fascicles, which circulated widely in the world. His disciple Sengbian and others erected a stele at Anle Temple. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.11.120) - [Next: 11.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.11.122) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.11.121) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.11.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.11.121) · Pramāṇa
