Long was also famous in his day, renowned for the core teachings of the Lotus Sūtra. Yin applied his efforts with singular devotion, penetrating deeply to uniquely express fresh insights. Thereupon he traveled east to the capital and resided at Zhongxing Monastery. During the Daming era of the Song, he was summoned to dwell [there]. He Dian convened a great gathering of monks and invited Yin to be the master of Dharma. There were over seven hundred listeners.
