Dai Zong
In August, 651, Daoxin ordered his students to build his stupa as he was soon to die. According to the "Hsü kao-seng chuan," when asked by his disciples to name a successor, Daoxin replied, “I have made many deputations during my life.” He then died. The emperor Dai Zong honored Daoxin with the posthumous name “Dayi” (Great Healer).
