Great Dharma Masters in History

Great Dharma Masters in History

Dharma Master Zhi Zhe

Dharma Master Zhi Zhe turned to monastic life at 18. At 23, he took refuge in Dharma Master Hui Si and eventually had an enlightenment experience through studying the Lotus Sutra. He was also known for establishing the first indigenous Buddhist school in China.

Dharma Master Huai Hai

Master Huai Hai introduced for Chan monasticism the tradition of "a day without work is a day without food," which helped shift Chan monastic life from one supported by alms begging to a self-sufficient lifestyle based on farm work.

Dharma Master Kui Ji

The son of a general during the Tang Dynasty, Master Kui Ji was ordered to become a Buddhist monk at 17, but refused to give up meat and women. Under the guidance of Master Xuang Zang, he eventually became one of the master's most prominent disciples.
