Master Hongyi (1880-1942), commonly known as Li Shutong. Before becoming a monk, he was very talented, and he had profound attainments in music, poetry, drama, seal carving, calligraphy, and painting. In 1918, he became a monk in Hupao Temple in Hangzhou, and was known for his precepts, and was respected as the eleventh ancestor of the revival of Nanshan Vinaya. "Evening Collection" is a collection of Buddhist scriptures, ancestral sayings, and aphorisms compiled by Master Hongyi in the summer of 1941 when he was covering the Fulin Temple, "taking Huayan as the realm, taking the four divisions as the line, and leading to the Pure Land as the fruit", which can be said to be the essence of Master Hongyi's lifelong Buddhism. Therefore, it will be organized and shared for the benefit of readers.

- Master Wise
Ordinary people learn the Tao, only their hearts can know themselves, and if they make a way to others, he will be slandered. Diguan rarely said that people can achieve virtue by valuing morality, and people from far and near are in a quiet place, sitting upright and thinking. But looking at oneself and deeds, don't say that he is short, stammering his tongue less, and silently soft-hearted. If ignorance is deaf and blind, inner wisdom is full of real treasures, the head is happy and quiet, and the cultivation is lazy.
