Sengrui of the Jin was a native of Jizhou. He travelled and studied in various regions, journeying afar to India. Returning to the Guanzhong region, he received the sūtra teachings from Master Kumārajīva. Later he took part in the Lotus Society on Mount Lu. In the sixteenth year of the Yuanjia era of the Song, he suddenly announced to the assembly: "I am about to depart." Facing the west with palms joined, he transformed. The assembly saw a golden lotus flower before Rui's couch, which abruptly vanished; five-colored fragrant smoke drifted out from his room.
