He left the Komel Monastery, founded by Venerable Cornelius of Komel, and continued his solitary ascetic life in the Belozersk region, on the Shujgora mountain. Here, the holy ascetic founded a monastery in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord. Venerable Daniel was buried in the church of the monastery. In 1764, the monastery was transformed into a parish.
