Died Kāngxī 丁亥 3/12 卯時 = 1707/4/13 Gregorian aged 70 suì (sēnglà 65) — yielding approximate birth-year 1638. Native of Fēnglíng 酆陵 (= Fēngdū 酆都, Sìchuān), lay surname Xú 徐. Tonsured at 10 suì with his fellow-disciple Wànfēng Shàn chánshī 萬峰善禪師 under his maternal uncles Fóxǐ 佛喜 and Yěyún 野雲; full precepts at Chóngshèng 崇聖; further training at Wǔyún 五雲; returned to receive transmission (fùfǎ 付法) from Tiěbì at Qìngzhōng.
Long service under Tiěbì — twenty-one years (事忠二十一年) — alongside his close associate the lay-disciple Yuán Bǎoshàn 袁寶善. After Tiěbì’s death in 1668 the community invited him to succeed to Zhìpíng 治平; successive seats at Qìngzhōngsì 慶忠寺 (Liángshān), Shígǔ 石鼓, Zhōngzhōu Zhènzōng Chánsì 振宗禪寺 (the chìjiàn imperially-bestowed seat), Jiāxīng Léngyán Chánsì 楞嚴禪寺 (Zhèjiāng — the publishing center for the Jiāxīng Canon).
