Situo's Promotion of Buddhism

After arriving in Japan, he has been following Jian Zhen and presiding over the initial work of Tang Zhaoti Temple with Japanese monk Pu Zhao. In addition to lecturing and preaching Buddhism, he also actively participated in Buddhist activities such as building temples, writing scriptures and carving Buddha statues. At the request of Daoxuan, he gave lectures to disciples Renji and Chang Wei in Daan Jitang Garden on the Book of Four Points and Poems of Zong Yi (that is, True Ji Guo). He also told many monks about Tiantai Sect and spread the seeds of Tiantai Sect. During this period, in order to counter the slanderous attack on Japanese by the old cult of Jian Zhen, which represented the stubborn conservative forces, Stowe wrote the Biography of Buddhist Monks in Datang with his own personal knowledge and experience, which refuted the rhetoric of the old cult. After his death, Dan Hai, the then "literati leader", was invited to rewrite his Biography into Biography with He Dong, that is, Biography of Tang Dahe to the East. In the seventh year of Japanese calendar extension (788), Stowe wrote "Records of Japanese calendar extension monks", which is the earliest biography of monks in Japanese history.
