3.23

釋普智字無儗別號一枝叟。浙江臨平褚氏子。出家於錢塘龍井寺。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。永樂戊子正月二日微疾。會眾端坐面西念佛而逝。甞集註阿彌陀經一卷。

Śramaṇa Puzhi, courtesy name Wuyi and art name Yizhisou, was a son of the Chu family of Linping in Zhejiang. He left home at Longjing Temple in Qiantang, and relied on Dharma Master Dongming Ri to receive the Tiantai teachings on intrinsic inclusion. He was skilled in lecturing and preaching. He went through four major bodhimandas, greatly invigorating their traditions. In his late years, he taught at Yanqing Temple in Songjiang, where he finally spent his remaining days, exclusively cultivating pure karma without ceasing through winter and summer. On the second day of the first month of the wu-zi year of Yongle, he showed slight illness; he assembled the crowd, sat upright facing west, recited the Buddha's name, and passed away. He once compiled and annotated the Amitābha Sūtra in one fascicle.
