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.

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.

Overseas Chinese also admired the name, and they converted tens of thousands of disciples and founded more than ten temples.

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.
