Hui Hai (720-814)
Hui Hai, also known as Pai Chang, was the Zen Master famous for
establishing the Zen monastic rule. He was always very insistent on
working every day. When he was old he persisted in this, and the monks
felt sorry for him so they hid his tools. He said, "I have no virtue.
Why should others work for me?" And he refused to eat. He said, "A day
of no work is a day of no eating." This saying became very famous in
Zen circles, and to this day the Zen schools are noted for their
practice of work.
Pai-Chang's students included
Huangbo and Lingyu.
