Following his master, he left home and became thoroughly versed in the great division of the Nirvāṇa \[Sūtra\]. In the first year of Xianheng of the Tang, he arrived at the capital. An imperial order decreed that he reside at Daji'ai Monastery. Resolutely declining, he went to Qichun to pay homage to the Great Master \[Hong\]ren. Later, while lecturing on the Nirvāṇa Sūtra at Faxing Monastery in Guangzhou, he met the Sixth Patriarch, Master \[Hui\]neng, and first awakened to the profound principle, taking Neng as his Dharma-transmission master. Furthermore, gathering the words of attained masters from diverse quarters from the Liang down to the Tang, he composed the Xinyao ji (Collection of Mind Essentials), which circulated widely in the world. On the twenty-first day of the second month of the second year of Xiantian, he passed away at Miaoxi Monastery on Mount Kuaiji, at the age of eighty-seven. Wang Shiqian of Kuaiji erected a stupa inscription for him. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.5.45) - [Next: 5.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.5.47) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076~en-mt.5.46) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.5.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.5.46) · Pramāṇa
