Shi Sengmin, whose secular surname is Sun, is from Fuchun, Wujun (now Fuyang County, Zhejiang Province). He is a descendant of Sun, the founding emperor of the Eastern Wu. When they were young, their parents died and were able to speak and enjoy the Tao. At the age of seven, he went to Xishan Temple in Huqiu to become a monk. He became a master of monk Hui and studied the Five Sutras after he heard it. He could remember it and recite it in the first glance. He was good at understanding the spirit of the classics. He was outstanding among his classmates. Every time I talk to my peers and ceremonies, I feel proud to be my own responsibility. Zhang Bian, Lang of the Ministry of Personnel of Song Dynasty, asked him: "Little novice, what is your surname? Where is your home?" Seng Min replied: "I am the only surname of Shi, so I live in this mountain." Zhang Bian thought this little novice was unusual, so he introduced him to Zhang Xu . When Zhang Xu saw him, he felt that he was good and sighed, "HTM1, although pine and cypress is small, he already has the aura of glory." From then on, he began to become a little famous. When he was thirteen years old, he followed the monk back to leave the capital and stopped at White Horse Temple . Many monks in this temple are engaged in transferring reading and singing and guiding, and the monks are very charming and are not satisfied with these. At the age of sixteen, his master, monk, passed away. Monk Min was extremely sad and devoted himself to the funeral. After the mourning was finished, he moved to Zhuangyan Temple.

Monk Min admires Master Tan Jing very much. Tan Jing lived in the temple for a long time, and his charm was elegant and the monks respected him very much. He manages the temple well and the temple provides sufficient supply. Monk Min was poor and fond of learning. He often studied scriptures and treatises with Fayun, Changang and Faguan in the same temple. He studied scriptures and treatises with the four masters of Rou, Cial, Yuan and Liang. He lie down at night, and went out to study together during the day. He spent many years without any obstacles in cold and heat. He can explore and explore many Buddhist scriptures and treatises, study them in depth, learn from them, and learn from them. Not only can he deeply understand the purpose of the sutras and treatises, but he can also help his classmates and inspire others; many of the difficulties in the sutras and treatises are explained by him, and even some problems that are difficult to learn from in the timely sages and masters can analyze in detail and explain the subtleties. Due to outstanding knowledge, reputation gradually spread.

Qi Wenhui Emperor Jingling King Xiao Ziliang He respected him very much and often asked him about Buddhist principles and sang to each other. When the Shangshu Ling Wang Jian asked the monk sect to give a lecture on " Nirvana Sutra ", Monk Min asked a question aside. The questions he asked were all profound and profound, and the debate was invincible. Wang Jian said, "In the past, when Zhu Daosheng arrived at Chang'an , Yao Xing met him at Xiaoyaoyuan and asked him to question the meaning of Daorong. He discussed the difficulties and spoke in detail. The audience saw his spirit and admired his heroic spirit. Now, Master Min, the monk, has outstanding understanding, profound attainments, outstanding ethics, and invincible. Compared with Zhu Daosheng at that time, it is really even better than that."

Qi Wenxuan once asked Rou and the second master to explain " Chengshi Lu " together at Puhong Temple, with subtle explanations and listeners gathered. Monk Min discussed at the end of the meal, his words were fresh and his words were distant, and all the listeners were fascinated by it. The second king put down the dust tail and sighed, "I have been engaged in Pengcheng. Since then, I have been committed to the research of "Chengshi Lun" for a long time. I often feel deeply regretful because I have never encountered strong opponents. Since I arrived at Jinling , I have gradually met some monks who are quite accomplished in this theory, and tonight's monk Master Min is the most outstanding one among them. Please prepare some questions carefully and answer them one by one when the lecture is held tonight." After the lecture began in the evening, the two of them made several difficult discussions, and the second master finally couldn't stand it. He couldn't help but sigh, "The younger generation is terrifying, this sentence is not false at all."

When he was twenty-six years old, he began to explain the "Chengshi Lun" at Xingfu Temple in the tenth year of Yongming (492 AD). The predecessors and contemporary wise men all went to listen to the lecture: the monks in nearby temples, secular scholars and Confucian scholars came to listen to the lecture, which squeezed the entire venue into pieces. Master Seng Min talked all day long without any fatigue, and everyone praised him very much. After the news spread, those who admired the destiny from all over the world came to listen to his explanation of the scriptures and treatises. Since the Jin and Song dynasties, all the commentators have talked loudly and praised each other. After the monk Min, they have focused on wisdom and enlightenment, change their minds and change their minds like gods, speak with a correct voice, and there is no loud voice at the banquet. Because of his humility, he has never been able to favor others with reason. He is like entering meditation in the world of monks and lay people.People at that time praised, "Exploring the hidden secrets, and becoming far away from the predecessors; the lines are connected throughout the whole process, and the listeners can easily understand. When the different theories are gone when the lecture is held, the Dharma will be spread. Therefore, the reputation has become great, and thousands of people listen to the preaching of the scriptures and preaching. He is diligent and tempted, and teaches people tirelessly.

Liu Ye, the prefect of Jin'an, once said to Seng Min, "The master is well-versed in the sutras and treatises, why do we establish the meaning of many Confucianism? ?" Seng Min replied, "The Song Dynasty is highly valued in Taoism, and suddenly realizes it to understand the sutras. During the Qi period, monks are favored, and Ying Vitan is a slogan to speak. I will follow the sutras. Those who have similar meanings to metaphysics will explain it with metaphysics. Those who have similar meanings to Confucianism will explain it with Confucianism. That's all." ...

In the first year of Yongyuan (499 AD), the monk ordered the monks to invite thirty monks to Hualin Garden to speak in the summer. The monk was about to ask Seng Min to be the master of the Dharma, but was rejected by Seng Min. Someone asked him, "Why?" He said, "I am an internal practitioner, not a so-called speaker, and cannot be a scholar outside the teachings." Therefore, his reputation has been well-known and fascinated by the capital. Wang Zhongbao of Langya and Zhang Siguang of Wu and Zhang Siguang both learned the most contemporary and took the initiative to date him and asked him to preach. After the age of thirty, he often gave lectures on sutras and treatises and became a master of his generation. I know everything about the nine divisions and five hours. The mysteries of mystery and subtle analysis. Therefore, many great monks and scholars from the two realms of monks and lay people compete to interact with him. ...

By the end of Qi, due to the turbulent situation, the world was turbulent, villains were rampant, and gentlemen were jealous, so they took refuge in Xuzhou . Later, they were invited to Wu to continue preaching and spreading the Dharma. Those who listen to the Dharma can gain benefits from the Dharma according to their aptitude, so they have a great reputation. After the establishment of the Liang Dynasty, he deliberately avoided the court and went out for a long trip. It was not until the fifth year of Tianjian (506 AD). The emperor met him and treated him very well. He ordered the monk Zhenghuichao to personally follow the imperial edict to go to his residence and ask him to stay in Fa Chong, Fayun, Runan, Zhoushe , etc. to make an excuse. Since then, courtesy is rising.

day supervision for six years, annotating the "Prajna Sutra". At that time, the ministers and nobles of the court wanted to promote the classics, so they invited the five great masters in the capital to lecture at the five temples, headed by Min Dao. It can be seen that the emperor's concerns are valued. Monk Min was then hired by the emperor as a monk, and the supply of all seasons was extremely generous. He also ordered the lecture on " Victory Garland Sutra " in Huilun Hall, and the emperor personally visited the court. Later, more than 30 people from the two realms of Taoism and secular worlds were ordered to write "Abstract of the Sutras" in Shangdinglin Temple, including Seng Zhi, Seng Huang, and more than 30 people. During the writing process, I suddenly felt a wind dysfunction in the spring of 11 years. Although it improved slightly after conditioning, my reaction was dull and my speech was slow. He said, "It has been twenty years since the lecture. Now that he suffers from this disease, he may not have hope of recovery, and he will be able to preach everything." So he decorated the room, set up a temple, and worshiped day and night. Later, the prefect of Wu County, Zhang Chong , Wuxing , Xie Lan , and sent his subordinates to Kyoto, and submitted a letter to post to request. The emperor approved the report and issued an order to provide ships, supplies, etc. for the purpose of seeing off. At that time, the two counties were filled with ships to welcome the river, and Kyoto scholars gathered to see him off, and officials along the way also came out to welcome him. Jinling Premier Cai Yan , went out to greet him, sighing, "In the past, Kong was King Su in Zhou Dynasty, and today, Master Monk Min was King Su in Liang." At the end of Tianjian, he issued an order to build eight * wheels at Zhuangyan Temple. The five monks who gave lectures were based on their age. Monk Min was the youngest, so they were ranked last. But when Seng Min started speaking, the audience was the most. ...

to Liang Gongnian asked, and the disease relapsed one after another. Seng Min even wanted to retreat and return to the quiet. He returned to Huqiu Mountain late at night, but no one knew about it. At that time, Xiao Ang went out to guard Wu County and wanted to enter the mountain to pay homage. The mountain lord Zhiqian told Seng Min in advance, and Seng Min said, "I am a sick man in the mountains and fields. I have nothing to do. In the past, Dai Yong lived in seclusion in Beiling. King Jiangxia of Song went into the mountain to visit him. He lay high under the window and did not meet him. Although I am not virtuous, please act like Dai Yong." After Xiao Ang entered the mountain, Seng Min left from the back door. That year, the Crown Prince sent a member of the Communist Party of China to pay tribute and presented him with a few sticks, furnace boxes, quilts, dust tails, and whisk fans.

In the fifth year of ordinary years (524 AD), the imperial edict was issued to move to Kaishan Temple, and the local officials were ordered to receive and resettle them so as to live up to the emperor's expectations. On the way to Kaishan Temple, the disease recurred when the Zhuangyan Temple was suspended. Good doctors and medicines are used to serve them continuously, and countless people visit them. Unfortunately, the deadline has come. On the morning of February 1st of the first year of Datong, he died in the temple room and lived a lifetime of 61. The emperor was sad and regretful, and the prince sighed and issued an imperial edict to be buried in the Kaishan Temple Cemetery in Zhongshan, , Zhongshan, on the sixth day of that month. The funeral was held very grandly. The hermit Chen Liu and Ruan Xiaoxu wrote an epitaph for him, and his disciples Zhixue, Huiqing and others built three tombs for him. One of the steles has an inscription written by the Crown Prince Xiangdong King , which is erected on the side of the tomb; the other steles has an inscription written by the Conqueror He □, which is erected in this temple.

...Meng Min released animals and gave alms throughout his life, but he never gave up temporarily. ...The collection of miscellaneous remarks, four tones, and poems, etc., have been circulated in the world for more than 100 volumes. The law shall be subject to Seng Min's opinion.
