世宗嘗召以為羽林監，領中書舍人，將令侍講十地諸經，固辭不拜。 Emperor Shizong summoned him as Captain of the Feathered Forest with concurrent duty as Palace Scribe, intending to have him expound the Ten Grounds sutras; he firmly refused the appointment.

世宗給其工力，[2]令與沙門統僧暹、河南尹甄琛等，周視崧高形勝之處，遂造閑居佛寺。 The emperor gave him workmen and ordered him, with the Buddhist overseer Sengxian, Henan Intendant Zhen Chen, and others, to tour Mount Song's finest sites and build a reclusive temple.

延昌二年冬，因遇篤疾，世宗敕以馬輿送令還山，居崧高道場寺。 In winter of Yanchang year 2, gravely ill, he was sent by imperial palanquin to Mount Song's Daochang Temple.
