> First Patriarch: Venerable Dharmagupta (Fazheng; disciple of Venerable Upagupta; master of the Fourfold Vinaya; founder venerated by Nanshan). Second Patriarch: Venerable Dharmakāla (Fashi; a śramaṇa of the Western Lands; first conferred the precepts with ten persons according to the Fourfold Vinaya; remotely inherited from Fazheng). Third Patriarch: Vinaya Master Facong of Beidai (during the time of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei; originally studied the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya, but upon examining the recipient essence, he was the first to transmit the Fourfold Vinaya; remotely inherited from Fashi). Fourth Patriarch: Vinaya Master Daofu of Yunzhong (disciple of Cong; first to compose a commentary and outline in six fascicles to explain the Fourfold Vinaya). Fifth Patriarch: Vinaya Master Dajue Huiguang (originally left the household under Chán Master Fotuo, who said: 'This boy should first hear the Vinaya; Vinaya is the foundation of wisdom, and none but the wise can uphold it; if he begins with the scriptures and treatises, he will surely disdain the net of precepts.' Thereupon, relying on Daofu, he mastered the Fourfold Vinaya and composed a commentary in ten fascicles). Sixth Patriarch: Vinaya Master Daoyun of the Northern Qi (received instruction from Huiguang; composed a commentary and subcommentary in nine fascicles, judging and explaining the extensive text). Seventh Patriarch: Vinaya Master Daohong of Hebei (received instruction from Yun; also authored commentary texts). Eighth Patriarch: Vinaya Master Zhishou of Hongfu Temple (before receiving the precepts, he prayed in advance for a clear verification before an ancient Buddha stupa; he was blessed by the Buddha rubbing his crown, and with body and mind peaceful, he only then knew he had received the precepts; when investigating the Vinaya division, he harmonised much of its text; received instruction from Hong; composed a commentary in twenty fascicles). Ninth Patriarch: Vinaya Master Daoxuan of Nanshan (the \*Qingzhong yi\* states: 'The one formerly venerated and inherited was Vinaya Master Shou').
