Brief Biographies of the Branch Lineages of the Orthodox Lineage, Part Two

In the eighth generation from Dajian: Chan Master Wenyan of Mount Yunmen in Shaozhou. He was a native of Jiaxing in Suzhou, surnamed Zhang. Naturally sharp-witted and perceptive, even as a child he was unlike ordinary youths. He left home and took the precepts, and studying the sūtras, vinaya, and treatises, before long he had mastered them all. When he traveled to visit good spiritual friends, at his first meeting with the Venerable Chen of Muzhou, he thoroughly penetrated the ancestral principle. Soon afterward, he received confirmation from Chan Master Cun of Xuefeng. From then on, he concealed his radiance and mingled unnoticed with the multitude. Later, journeying south, he came to the Dharma assembly of Chan Master Min of Lingshu in Shaoyang. Min was an extraordinary man, reputed to possess prescient knowledge. Seeing Yan, he regarded him with exceptional respect and appointed him head seat of the assembly. When [Min] passed away, he left behind a letter recommending him to the ruler of Guangzhou, of the Liu clan, who commanded the Chan master to succeed him in leading that dwelling. Later, the Liu clan further renovated the great monastery of Yunmen and moved Yan to reside there. His fame thereupon spread far and wide, and students from the four directions turned to him like water flowing downhill. Yet his manner of teaching was steep and swift, and his guidance toward the Way was ever more profound. Today, the realm esteems it, calling it the Yunmen school. There were eighty-eight Dharma heirs who issued from him: one named Upādhyāya Baiyun Xiang of Shaozhou; one named Deshan Yuanmi; one named Nantai Daozun of Tanzhou; one named Shuangfeng Jingqin of Shaozhou; one named Upādhyāya Zifu of Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Guangyun Yuan of Guangzhou; one named Chan Master Longjing Lun of Guangzhou; one named Chan Master Yunmen Shuang of Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Baiyun Wen of Shaozhou; one named Piyun Zhiji of Shaozhou; one named Upādhyāya Jingfa Zhang of Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Man of Mount Wenmen in Shaozhou; one named Baling Haojian of Yuezhou; one named Dizang Huici of Lianzhou; one named Upādhyāya Darong Yin of Yingzhou; one named Chan Master Luoshan Chong of Guangzhou; one named Chan Master Yunmen Bao of Shaozhou; one named Linxi Jingtuo of Yingzhou; one named Chan Master Huayan Hui of Guangzhou; one named Upādhyāya Shunfeng Shao of Shaozhou; one named Upādhyāya Guanyin of Yingzhou; one named Upādhyāya Linquan of Shaozhou; one named Shuangquan Shikuan of Suizhou; one named Upādhyāya Yunmen Xu of Shaozhou; one named Xianglin Chengyuan of Yizhou; one named Bore Qirou of Nanyue; one named Huangbo Faji of Junzhou; one named Dongshan Shouchu of Xiangzhou; one named Upādhyāya Kangguo Yao of Xinzhou; one named Chan Master Gushan Feng of Tanzhou; one named Luo-han Kuangguo of Ying; one named Upādhyāya Cangxi Lin of Dingzhou; one named Dongshan Qingbing of Junzhou; one named Upādhyāya Beichan Ji of Qizhou; one named Daoqian of Letan; one named Nantianwang Yongping of Luzhou; one named Chan Master Yong'an Lang of Hunan; one named Upādhyāya Tanming of Hunan; one named Chan Master Qingliang Ming of Jinling; one named Chan Master Fengxian Shen of Jinling; one named Upādhyāya Qingcheng Cheng of Xichuan; one named Chan Master Miaosheng Zhen of Lufu; one named Upādhyāya Putong Feng of Xingyuan; one named Upādhyāya Dengfeng of Shaozhou; one named Upādhyāya Dafan Yuan of Shaozhou; one named Upādhyāya Yaoshan Yuan of Lizhou; one named Upādhyāya Ehu Yunzhen of Xinzhou; one named Kaixian Qingyao of Mount Lu; one named Fengguo Qinghai of Xiangzhou; one named Upādhyāya Ciguang of Shaozhou; one named Bao'an Shimi of Tanzhou; one named Chan Master Rong of Mount Yunju in Hongzhou; one named Dashengsi Shouxian of Hengzhou; one named Chan Master Beitianwang Hui of Luzhou; one named Hongyi of Mount Bajiao in Yingzhou; one named Chan Master Fuhuayuan Guang of Meizhou; one named Dongtianwang Guangci of Luzhou; one named Chan Master Xichan Qin of Xinzhou; one named Chan Master Guangyun Zhen of Jiangzhou; one named Shuangfeng Huizhen of Shaozhou; one named Faqiu of Mount Yunmen; one named Guangwu of Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Zheng of Mount Changle in Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Yuan of Mount Fotuo in Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Shao of Mount Jiufeng in Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Zhen of Mount Jingyuan in Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Yuehuashan of Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Shuangfeng Zhen of Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Yu of Mount Shuangquan in Suizhou; one named Chan Master Shen of Mount Ciyun; one named Chan Master Huacheng Jian of Luzhou; one named Chan Master Huguo of Mount Lu; one named Chan Master Qingyun of Mount Lu; one named Chan Master Yongfu Lang of Yuezhou; one named Chan Master Zhaohengshan of Yingzhou; one named the Master of the Hermitage on Mount Zuanzi in Yingzhou; one named Chan Master Nantian Sanhai of Luzhou; one named Juehua Puzhao of Guizhou; one named Chan Master Tiezhuang Jue of Yizhou; one named Chan Master Yanchangshan of Xinzhou; one named Chan Master Huanglongshan; one named Chan Master Xichan Guang of Meizhou; one named Beichan Wutong of Qizhou; one named Chan Master Tianzhushan of Shuzhou; one named Chan Master Longguangshan of Shaozhou; one named Chan Master Gong of Shuijingyuan in Guanzhou; one named Zhimenshan Fajin of Suizhou; and one named Senior Seat Lang of Mount Yunmen.

In the tenth generation from Dajian was Chan Master Qingliang Wenyi of Jinling. He was a native of Yuhang, surnamed Lu. From the start he had lofty aspirations. After taking the precepts, he studied the vinaya under Vinaya Master Xijue, and also explored Confucian learning, showing impressive literary accomplishments. Jue once regarded him and said, "This is the Ziyou and Zixia of our school." Soon turning his efforts toward the ancestral vehicle, he went to the Dharma assembly of Changqing in Futang. Before he had stayed there long, he was already esteemed by the community. In his later years he traveled widely again. Meeting with rain on the road, he and his companions rested at Dizang Cloister to the west of that prefecture. There, calling upon Chan Master Chen, he attained the Dharma essentials.

8.114

An appraisal states: Once the orthodox lineage reached Dajian, its transmission became widespread, whereupon students each pursued the teachings of their own masters. Thereupon, [opinions] under heaven diverged, and they vied to establish their own traditions. Hence there were the so-called Guiyang, Caodong, Linji, Yunmen, and Fayan [houses]; [lineages] such as these cannot all be enumerated. Moreover, the followers of the three houses of Yunmen, Linji, and Fayan are especially flourishing today; Guiyang has already died out, and Caodong barely survives, lingering like an isolated spring drawn upon during a great drought. Yet as for their flourishing and decline, how could the Dharma possess strength and weakness? It is simply whether subsequent generations succeeded each other with the right persons or not. Does not the Classic say, "If it is not the right person, the Way does not act in vain"?
