The old monk was born in Hui'an County, Fujian Province, on the 26th day of the 10th lunar month in the 18th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1892 AD). His common surname was Huang and his given name was Wenlai. Due to his poor family background, his brother had no money to marry. When Shi was four years old, his parents sold him to a farmer named Li in Jinjiang County as an adopted son. His adoptive mother was a vegetarian, and the teacher voluntarily followed her mother to become a vegetarian when he was seven years old. After his eldest adoptive parents died one after another, Shi immediately went to Nanyang to make a living, and went up the mountains with local people to cut and transport wood. One day, he predicted that something would happen to a light cart, and warned his colleagues not to ride on it. The cart did indeed fall down the valley, and some colleagues joked that it would happen. Since you are a god of knowledge and a vegetarian, why not go back to your hometown in Quanzhou to practice Taoism? The teacher seemed to have a realization and took a boat back to Fujian.

In 1927, when the master was thirty-six years old, he was ordained as a monk by Master Ruixiafang in Chengtian Temple, Quanzhou. His name was Zhaojing. That is to say, he starts from the most basic labor service on the slopes, and then takes the ordination at the age of forty-two. The abbot turned around and the old monk taught him to "eat what others don't eat and do what others don't do, and you will know later!" Because he was illiterate and thin, he was often bullied, but the master endured the humiliation and was determined to do it. Determined to cultivate hard, do rough work and do lowly labor, without any regrets. Over the past few years, due to the merits of asceticism of "enduring humiliation and altruism", my mind has gradually broadened, and I have gradually got rid of the limitations of human beings and myself. Among them, he attained the realization of "Nambutsu Samadhi". Later, he went to the Bixiao Rock in Liangshan Mountain, north of the city, to practice meditation. Unexpectedly, he accidentally entered a tiger cave. The tiger did not harm him. The next day, he brought many tiger cubs jumping and playing at the entrance of the cave. They were very happy. This is "moving the heart with the heart." The residents at the foot of the mountain were called "Monk Fuhu".

The master often fell into trance, and for several months he could not eat, move, or even breathe. The woodcutter mistakenly believed that the master had passed away and went to Chengtian Temple. The old monk Zhuanchen and Master Hongyi went up the mountain to visit him. Master Hongyi snapped his fingers three times and said, When the master came out of Ding, there was a sensation in Quanzhou. Fanci's years have lasted for several years (the number of years is difficult to determine). Later, the master came down the mountain and returned to the temple to stay for about five or six years. In the thirty-sixth year of the Republic of China (1947 AD), the division was fifty-six years old. He crossed the sea from Xiamen, Fujian Province to Taiwan on the British Airways ship. Then he followed the fate and prayed to Buddha. There was an incident where Japanese ghosts were saved at night in Taipei's Fahua Temple. The "Fruit Monk" became famous throughout Taiwan. Overseas Chinese also admired the name, and they converted tens of thousands of disciples and founded more than ten temples. In the 44th year of the Republic of China, the Chengtian Zen Temple built in Tucheng, Taipei County was named in memory of his ancestral home in the mainland, Chengtian Zen Temple. Of.

When the master was over eighty years old, he expressed that he was about to give up his life. After repeated pleas from his disciples and asking Master Chanyun to preside over Amitabha Buddha Seven, he received compassionate permission and postponed the time. But Master once told Elder Wu Ming that if he teaches the precepts again in the future, he will leave this world. In the 70th year of the Republic of China, Miaotong Temple was built in Kaohsiung. In October of the 74th year of the Republic of China, he taught the three great precepts. On the 26th of the 12th day of the first lunar month, he returned to Chengtian Temple in the north, gave instructions one by one, and said that he had passed away. Afterwards, he was cremated and his remains were enshrined in Chengtian Temple, Guangchengyan Temple and Miaotong Temple. On the first day of the first lunar month of the following year, he signaled to return south to Miaotong Temple. After arriving at Miaotong Temple, he chanted Buddha's name day and night. Sometimes he caught wooden fish with his own hands and asked his disciples to chant Buddha's name together. On the fifth day of the lunar month, the teacher's vision was clear, calm and peaceful, nothing unusual. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, he suddenly told everyone: "There is no coming, no going, no generation." He nodded and smiled at the disciples, sat down and closed his eyes. After a while, everyone saw that the teacher was not moving, and they came forward to take a closer look, and they knew that the teacher had already arrived. In the sound of reciting the Buddha's name, he passed away peacefully at the age of ninety-five.
