Ta-hui Tsung-kao (Jap., Daie Soko, 1089–1163), Ch'an/Zen teacher in the
Rinzai school. He was the dharma-successor (
hassu) of Yüan-wu K'o-ch'in, and was a major advocate of training by use of
kōans. In this he opposed his friend, Hung-chih Cheng-chüeh, who accepted kōans, but put emphasis on quiet meditation, as in his brief text,
Mo-chao ming, Jap.,
Mokushomei (The Seal of Silent Illumination). Ta-hui called this
jazen, unwise Zen, dismissing those who practise it. Ta-hui gave to this position the name
mokushu zen, i.e., ‘silent-illumination zen’. Hung-chih called the way of Ta-hui
k'an-hua ch'an, Japanese
kanna zen, ‘Kōan-gazing zen’, and these two names were adopted as the names of these two positions.
