A native of Tiantai County, Zhejiang.

Zen monk Jigong was born in Tiantai Chengguan, he is good at poetry and writing, drama to help the poor, and is respected as a "living Buddha" by the people. Now, there is a Jigong Pavilion at the head of the stone wall of Jigong's birthplace, and there is a "Jigong Buddhist Temple" in Chicheng Mountain, where Jigong Juvenile Reading is located. The Sanskrit Palace Taoist Institute not only adds color to the victory, but also makes Tiantai Mountain gain the reputation of "the source of Buddhism".

According to the records of books such as "Tiantai Mountain Fangwaizhi" and "Jingci Temple Chronicle", Jigong's name is Daoji, and the word Huyin is hidden. His father, Li Maochun, was a descendant of Song Gaozong Li Yuma. Mother Wang, dreamed of swallowing the sun and gave birth to Jigong.

When he was eighteen years old, his parents died one after another, so he followed the Zen master of Lingyin Temple, and left home. When he was mad, he was addicted to wine and meat, and the monks in the temple accused him. But the blind hall said:

Buddhism is vast, can't it accommodate a monk? From then on, they called him Jidian. After the blind hall passed away, Ji Dian came to Jingci Temple.

One night in the fourth year of Jiatai in the Southern Song Dynasty (1204 AD), Ji Dian seemed to be drunk but not drunk, and shouted eagerly around the corridor, but the monks could not hear it, and only felt inexplicable. After a while, the fire broke out, the Buddhist temple was in flames, and the Xionglou Jie Pavilion turned into ashes. Jidian raised his own funds and rebuilt the treasure temple.

He came to Yanling, brought his robe, and actually shrouded all the green mountains, and the tall trees and giant trees on the mountains were immediately uprooted, and floated out of the river. Ji Dian told the monks that the timber used to build the temple had arrived in the incense well in the temple. It took a lot of effort for the six strong men to hook out the giant trees one by one, piling them up like a mountain.

The temple supervisor asked for a reward of money, and Ji Dian hurriedly excused himself and said: "I am the god of the door, why do I want your reward?" "Let's go with the wind.

He passed away five years later. Before dying, he wrote a poem:

In the past sixty years, the east wall has defeated the west wall.

Now that he has cleaned up, he is still blue.

After writing, he threw his pen and passed away, and was buried in Hangzhou Tiger Run.
