His father served as Magistrate of Jiyuan and was killed during the An-Shi Rebellion in the Tianbao era. In his childhood, Xin accompanied his mother to Henei; in extreme poverty, his mother remarried. Xin was unwilling to follow her into the remarriage. Xin's aspirations were out of the ordinary, so he approached Dharma Master Zhiming of Yingfu Temple, begging for instruction and guidance to shave his hair. After ascending the altar to receive the precepts, he drifted like a cloud and roosted like a bird, making it his urgent task to investigate the profound; under the eminent disciples of Master \[Shen\]xiu, he understood the essentials of the Dharma. He then toured the famous sites in various regions, and finally settled at Mount Heng. Monks who came to seek instruction rubbed shoulders and walked heel to toe. At that time, Prefect Wu Xianzhong invited Xin to enter the prefectural seat, but he declined and did not go. He was again summoned to reside at Longxing Temple, where his abbot's quarters were always filled with those who came to inquire about the Way. On the eleventh month of the eighteenth year of the Zhenyuan era, the renwu year, he manifested his demise, at the age of seventy-six. On the twenty-seventh day of that month, he was placed in a stūpa. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 29.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.29.49) - [Next: 29.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.29.51) - [Up: 29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.29) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061~en-mt.29.50) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.29.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2061.29.50) · Pramāṇa
