Chuan Zhi (traditional Chinese:釋傳智 見行; simplified Chinese 释传智 見行; Shì Chuán Zhi Jiàn Xíng, meaning Transmit Wisdom, and Walk, born Steven) is a Chan Buddhist master.[1]
Significance
[edit]Chuan Zhi, given the precepts in 1993 by Ming Zhen Shakya [2] was ordained by Jy Ding at Hsu Yun Temple [3] on November 8th, 1997. The name 'Chuan Zhi' bears resemblance to Jy Ding's own[4], a signal that Jy Ding wanted Chuan Zhi to be his spiritual successor.
He was ordained again in 1998 as a monk, or bhikṣu at China's Hongfa Temple, Shenzhen, by ten masters, including Jy Ding and Benhuan[5]. This was an honour recognised by the Buddhist Association of China [6].
He did not have to adopt the Vinaya rules.
He was the first American-born practitioner to be added to Xuyun's Linji school lineage in the United States [7] [8] [9].
