Jixing Chewu

Jìxǐng Chèwù (Chinese: 際醒徹悟, c. 1741–1810) was a prominent Buddhist scholar and monk of the Qing dynasty (1644–1912) who came to be recognized as the twelfth patriarch of Pure Land Buddhism.[1][2] He was also known by the sobriquet Mèngdōng and as "Hóngluó Chewu" in honor of his association with Mount Hongluo. Initially a Chan (Zen) monk ordained in the Linji school, Chewu later abandoned Chan and dedicated himself completely to Pure Land Buddhism.[1]
