高僧傳 8.18

8.18

Lin was eight feet tall, of extraordinarily refined bearing; mounting the seat he roared like thunder, his conversation flowing like a stream. Later he took leave to return to Gaochang. He died in the fifth year of the Yongming era of the Qi dynasty at the age of seventy-nine. He wrote the *Discourse on the Two Truths* (Erdi lun) and the *Notes on the Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya* (Pi tan za xin ji), and annotated the *Dvādaśamukha-śāstra*, the *Mūlamadhyamakakārikā*, and other works.
