　　　 Northern Song The fourth year of Zhenghe in Huizong (1114 AD) On April 27, I saw Amitabha Buddha in my dream and said to him: "You have only six days left to preach, and you will be reborn in the Western Pure Land." Zong Tan told the public after waking up from his dream. The next day, he continued to preach and enlightenment. In the second half of the night on May 4th, I knew that the time for rebirth was coming, and I rang the bell to gather the public and told the public, "There are certain seasons for the birth and death of causes and conditions, gathering and dispersion, and the reunion of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, how can he miss such a special cause and condition? May the public recite the Buddha's name together to help me rebirth."

Song neutral

neutral. His common surname is Chen, and he is from Yin County, Mingzhou, Zhejiang Province. At the age of nine, he became a monk at Qixin Temple in Yongdong (Zhejiang Zhoushan Island). All the scriptures I have received will never be forgotten. During the Zhiping period of Emperor Yingzong of the Northern Song Dynasty (1064-1067 AD), he was ordained and became a monk after taking classics. Initially, I followed Master Guangzhi to learn the teachings of Tiantai Sect . When Master Shenzhi inherited and presided over Nanhu Temple, he relied on Master Shenzhi. There were more than 200 people under the sage, none of whom was better than the Neutral Mage. After Shizuo resigned from the affairs of the temple, Neutri inherited his abbot's seat.

　　Jinli often uses the Pure Land Method to induce sentient beings, and ordered his disciple to create the Sixteen Contemplation Hall to attract people who are interested in practicing Pure Land. He resigned from the affairs of the abbot soon after. Later, Fubaoyun Temple was rebuilt and then retreated to Baiyun Temple. I preach the method of meditation and contemplation every day, and I have written many works throughout my life. At the invitation of everyone, he came out again to preside over Nanhu Temple and promoted the teachings, and widely guided the endless sentient beings to practice. He recited dozens of " Vimalakirti Sutra" and "Golden Light Sutra" before and after, and recited more than ten thousand "Lotus Sutra". Anyone who prays for others to eliminate disasters often has a response. On the evening of April 1115, the fifth year of Zhenghe in Huizong (1115 AD), he suddenly told his disciple Fawei, "Did you smell the strange fragrance?" Then he gathered the crowd and said with a smile, "It's time for me to pass away." Then he went to the west and passed away. (Buddhist Religion)
