Qingliang Wenyi

He then traveled to the southern city of Fuzhou in search of the solution of his doubts on the subject of Zen.

The tradition of Zen Buddhism holds that it was during this particular trip, Wenyi acquired great insight(頓悟).

[3] Knowing that Wenyi is an accomplished Zen philosopher, the king of Nan Tang which ruled over the Linchuan region appointed a temple under his guidance.

He would remain in the kingdom of Nan Tang for the rest of his life, promulgating the way of Zen.

[1][3] The King of Nan Tang ordered his royal subjects to wear white clothes for the mourning of Wenyi's death.
