Hsüeh-feng I-tsʾun
Hsüeh-feng I-tsʾun (Jap., Seppō Gison. 822–908). Chʾan/Zen Buddhist master, dharma-successor (hassu) of Te-shan Hsüan-chien, from whom derived (via his pupils) the Yünmen (Ummon) school and the Fa-yen/Hsüan-sha (Hogen) school. He experienced profound enlightenment in mondō with his dharma brother, Yen-t'ou Chuan-huo. Against his initial wishes, many monks gathered around him on Mount Hsüeh-feng (hence his name), and through them, Ch'an spread extensively.
