Syonchi was a one-eyed Zen teacher inspired by enlightenment.
He taught his students at Tofuku Temple. Day and night the entire temple was silent. Not a sound was heard. Even the reading of sutras was abolished by the teacher. His disciples did nothing but meditate.
When the master died, the old neighbors heard calls and sutra readings. They immediately realized that Syonti had died.
