Youxi Chuandeng
Youxi Chuandeng (Traditional Chinese: 幽溪傳燈, Simplified Chinese: 幽溪传灯, 1554–1628) was a prominent Buddhist monk of the late Ming dynasty who played a central role in the revival of the Tiantai school of Chinese Buddhism at a time when its institutional presence and doctrinal influence had significantly declined. His contributions included exegetical scholarship, history and the reconstruction of Tiantai temples.[1][2][3] For his efforts he is known as “the patriarch who revived the Tiantai school during the Ming dynasty.”[4]
Chuandeng's writings, such as his On Nature Including Good and Evil, provided Ming Tiantai with sophisticated philosophical underpinning. He also wrote extensively on the Śūraṅgama Sūtra, a work which was very popular in Ming Buddhism.[3] Chuandeng was student of Baisong Zhenjue, and a teacher of the eminent monk Ouyi Zhixu.
He was commonly known as Youxi Heshang, Youxi Dashi, or Chuandeng Dashi.[1][2][3]
