Hongzhi (1091 – 1157)

Hongzhi (meaning “vast wisdom”) was a Chinese Zen master who was predecessor of the famous philosopher Dogen. He is celebrated in Zen literature as one of its most artistically graceful stylists. He was the first to articulate silent illumination, commonly known to Zen students as “just sitting”.
