The *Āgama* says: "The Buddha is the master of preaching the Dharma." Both in antiquity and today, a monk who preaches the Dharma and knows the Dharma is taken as a Dharma master. For example, Sengrui said to Sengdao: "You ought to be a Dharma master for ten thousand people." Emperor Xiaowu of Song decreed that Daoyou be the presiding Dharma master of Xin'an Temple.
