Biography

Born August 15, 1909 in Xiamen. As a youth Yú read the works of Zhāng Tàiyán 章太炎 and Liáng Qǐchāo 梁啓超 and was inspired to study Buddhism. He was enrolled in the second class at the Wuchang Buddhist Seminary 武昌佛學院, which started on September 1, 1924. In February 1925, Tàixū 太虛 lectured on the Èr shí sòng jīng 二十頌經, which inspired Yú to study Consciousness-Only and Buddhist logic. In October 1926 the National Liberation Army took over the school for use as a barracks. Yú then went to Shànghǎi 上海 to attend college. After he graduated, he returned to Wuchang.

In 1930, Yú tested into the Psychology Department at Xiamen University. His college was next to Nánpǔtuó Temple 南普陀寺, which housed the Minnan Buddhist Seminary 閩南佛學院.

He was the prime recorder for Tàixū’s Fǎxiāng wéishì gài lùn 法相唯識學概論, which is a collection of lectures Tàixū gave at the Seminary.

After graduating, Yú stayed and taught at Xiamen University until 1935, when he went to participate in the Republican government in Nanjing.
