Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: Nanpo Jōmyō

Senses:

  • (1235–1309. ); known posthumously as 圓通大應國師. Japanese monk of the Rinzai school 臨濟宗, originally from the region that is presently Shizuoka Prefecture. Founder of the Daiō Branch 大應派, one of the twenty-four transmissions of Zen 禪宗二十四流 that reached Japan. His first teacher in Kamakura was Rankei Dōryū (Ch. Lanxi Daolong) 蘭溪道隆. He left for China in 1259, where he consulted Xutang Zhiyu 虛堂智愚 (1185–1269. ). He returned to Japan in 1267, first residing at 崇福寺 in Daizaifu (present-day Fukuoka Prefecture), then at Manjuji 萬壽寺 in Kyoto, and Kenchōji 建長寺 in Kamakura. The date of his death is wrong in most dictionaries: He died on the first year of the Enkei Era, twelfth month, twenty-ninth day, at the age of 74, which corresponds to February 9th, 1309. His writings are extant in the Daiō kokushi goroku 大應國師語錄 (三卷)。 〔大應國師塔銘, 鎌倉五山記〕 [Michel Mohr Charles Muller]
