Biography
Jǐng went to Middle School (1915-1919) and Teachers’ College in Nanjing (1919-1923). In January of 1923 he tested into the Chinese Inner Studies Institute 支那內學院, where he studied under Ōuyáng Jìngwú 歐陽竟無. He graduated in August and began teaching at Northeastern University 東北大學 in September. There, he lectured on Consciousness-Only 唯識 as a replacement for Western epistemology. He was roundly skeptical, saying that he did not superstitiously believe in the statements of the Chinese ancients, Western philosophers, or talk about mysterious things. Eventually he became a professor. In September of 1928, he went back to his hometown. In his life he taught philosophy at a number of colleges over the curse of his life, in Sìchuān and the Jiāngnán 江南 Region.
He is best known in the Buddhist world for participating in debates in the mid-1920s over the authenticity of the Mahāyāna Awakening of Faith 大乘起信論真偽辯, as well as his opposition to Táng Dàyuán 唐大圓.
