Personage introduction

In the 16th year, I became a monk after listening to Nirvana Sutra. Later, I listened to Hua Yan, Da Lun, Shi Di, di Chi, fo Xing, Bao Xing and other sutras, and took Nirvana as my ultimate belief. Hidden in the southern Taihang Mountain (zhongchaoshan) Baiti temple, wrote "Nirvana Da Shu", which was granted by mengmaming. Zhou Taizu heard of it, bowed to listen to the clear words, and set up Yunju temple for it in Shanxi ridge of the Chinese dynasty, and granted it as the national unification. Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed the Buddha and fled to Taihang Mountain. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, it was said that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty supported Buddhism, invited more than 4000 monks successively, and revived the Zhou Dynasty to abolish Jialan. The emperor "gave priority to the master" and "used the instrument of his disciples". At that time, people rated it as "tracking Cheng and Shi, surpassing Mai'an and Yuan". In the early Sui Dynasty, he was as famous as Jing Ying Hui Yuan for his academic attainments. His disciples include Tong Zhen, Hong Yi, Tong you, juelang, Dao Xun, Xuan Wan, FA Chang, etc. The annotation of qixinlun Shu is the earliest information about qixinlun of Mahayana.
