Dōshō
Dōshō (629–700). Japanese Buddhist monk who founded the Hossō school. Hossō is ‘the dharma-characteristics’ school: it maintained that all appearances are reducible to the consciousnesses, which in turn are necessarily of the same nature. It was one of the six schools of the Nara period (710–94).
