worldly affairs. He constantly wandered and stayed in stupas and monasteries, living his entire life as a lay Buddhist. Meng Yi, the Governor of Danyang, met him, admired him, and invited him for an audience. After their first meeting, Meng Yi deeply venerated and cherished him, frequently arranging offerings and banquets to generously provide for him. In the second year of the Xiaojian era of Emperor Xiaowu, a yici year [455 CE], Jingsheng translated twenty-eight works, including the Sūtra on Maitreya's Rebirth Above, at Zhuyuan Temple in the capital Yangdu and at the Upper Dinglin Temple on Mount Zhong. Through long practice and mastery, his brush moved without hesitation. Jingsheng lived without wife or child, free from desires for glory and profit. Leisurely associating with his fellows in the Dharma, he expounded and propagated the scriptures. Therefore, both clergy and laity throughout Jianye respected and praised him. At the end of the Daming era, he contracted an illness and died.

Śramaṇa Guṇarṛddhi was a native of the Western Regions. His attainment in the Way was vast, and his skill in guiding others grew fresh daily. In the sixth year of the Daming era of Emperor Xiaowu, a renyin year [462 CE], he travelled to Jingzhou and lodged at Chanfang Temple. Śramaṇa Xuanchang invited him to produce two works, including the Buddhānusmṛti-samādhi-sūtra. Chang edited and corrected the text and meaning, making the diction and intent subtle and dense. When Chang extended his hand, fragrance emanated, and water flowed from his palm; no one could fathom it. Later he went to Chengdu and stayed at Dashi Temple, which was the Aśoka stupa site. He personally fashioned sixteen divine statues, including Guhyapada Vajra, which have been transmitted down to the present day. Guṇarṛddhi remained in Jingzhou for several years, and it is unknown where he ended his days.

Śramaṇa Shi Sengqu, surnamed Zhu, was a native of the state of Wu. Leaving the household, he became a disciple of Sengye. He took delight in all sūtras as a whole and was especially clear on the Daśabhāṇavāra-vinaya. He was also well-versed in historical records and composed refined literary works. At first, he lived on Mount Huqiu in Wu. Emperor Xiaowu, admiring his reputation, decreed that he come to the capital Yangdu to serve as Monastic Rector and bring joy to the assembly, residing at Zhongxing Temple. In the seventh year of the Daming era, a guimao year [463 CE], Sengqu compiled one work, the Daśabhāṇavāra-karman.

Śramaṇa Shi Faying, secular surname Suo, was a native of Dunhuang. At thirteen he left the household to become a disciple of Faxiang, residing at Gongfu Temple in Liangzhou. Together with his fellow student Fali, he became renowned for his mastery of the Vinayapiṭaka. From the time Ying submitted his mind to the teachings, he never had to ask twice, committing everything to memory upon a single hearing. He meticulously investigated the vinaya texts and read widely in sūtras and treatises. At the end of the Yuanjia era, he reached Jianye and stayed at Xinting Temple. Emperor Xiaowu, recognizing Ying's comprehensive mastery of scholarship and practice, decreed that he serve as the Capital Monastic Rector. Later, resigning his post, he returned to Duobao Temple. He constantly practiced meditation in quiet rooms and also occasionally opened lecture seats on the vinaya. Later, he moved to reside at Changgan Temple. During the Taishi era of Emperor Ming (Yu), he compiled and brought forth one work, the Bhikṣuṇī Precepts of the Daśabhāṇavāra-vinaya, and also brought forth a karman text, which circulated in the world.
