Xutang Zhiyu

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 1 min

Xutang Zhiyu 虚堂智愚 (Japanese Kido Chigu, nickname Sokkō) (1185–1269) was a Chinese Chan-monk who gave dharma-transmission to Nanpo Shōmyō (1235–1308), the founder of the Japanese Rinza-Zen Ōtōkan-lineage. His style of koan practice was admired and emulated by Hakuin Ekaku, and today it's the only existing line of dharma-transmission in Japanese Rinza-Zen.
