Hsüan-sha Shih-pei (Jap., Gensha Shibi; 835–908). A Chʾan/Zen master, the dharma-successor (
hassu) of

Vinaya rules, and lived an austerely ascetic life until he began pilgrimages to meet Chʾan masters. On one of these, he stubbed his toe against a stone in the road and experienced sudden enlightenment (
Ho-tse).
