— 446 — and was succeeded by the patriarch Ma, Ma-tsu f£, jft|§_ (1), commonly known as Tao-yih ^ — (died A.D. 788). Other distinguished disciples are Hsing-sze %f ,g,, Shih-t'eu ^ and jjjf[, Hsi-ts'ien ^ jg. Ma-tsu f£, jjf§ and Shih-t'eu jfi j]J} were themselves founders of special schools. Hwei-neng =| "ft declined to nominate a successor in the patriarchate (2), as the doctrine was already well established in China, and thus the series of the Chinese Buddhist patriarchs closes at his death, which took place A.D. 712 (3). Henceforth, the "Contemplative Schools" separated into 2 branches, the Northern and the Southern (4). Between both, rivalry grew up, while individualism increased to an alarming extent, thus giving rise to endless divisions, which have weakened the influence and prestige of Chinese Buddhism down to the present day. (1) Ma-tsu W) jfQ., or Tao-yih jH — . Of his personal appearance strange things are told. He walked like an ox, had eyes like a tiger, a tongue that reached beyond the tip of his nose, while a Buddhistic wheel was imprinted by Nature on the soles of his feet. Johnston. Buddhist China, p. 88-89. (2) He named no successor in the apostolate, and the begging-bowl of Bodhidharma, which had been transmitted from patriarch to patriarch, was buried beside him. Mayers.

— 447 — ARTICLE XXI. THE GREAT BUDDHIST SAINT Ta-sheng ^ H (A.D 627-710). In A.D. 705, as the Dowager-Empress Wu, Wu-Heu j£ jgf, was deposed (1), and Chung-tsung r£i £f£, of the T'ang j|*- dynasty, proclaimed emperor, the Buddhist teacher, Seng-k'ia ta-shi jffi jj}\] •fc j^jfj, arrived from India. He was a native of the West, Si-yuh W fejc (2)? a nd bore in the eyes of the public the name of Ho ffij (3). This Hindu monk abode at first in the Lungshing monastery, Lung-hsing-sze f| M. ^f, at Hwai-ngan -/£| -^, but later on he went to Lin-hwai-hsien $% $£ ]§|, then a district city dependent on Sze Chow flrt[ j'\], in Nganhwei 4^ H£. Here, he begged the inhabitants to grant him a piece of land for the erection of a monastery, and to this they kindly agreed. As work was being carried on, the lay helpers, K'ia-lan jjjfl J^, unearthed a stone slab, which belonged to the monastery of "Copious Incense", Hsiang- tsih-sze :ff ^ ^f-, and also a golden statue bearing the inscription "Buddha the world-illuminating king", P'u-chao-wang-fuh j^ Bi3 3E m i4 )- (1) Wu-heu g£ J&, or T'ien-heu ^ }& (A.D. 684-705). The Dowager Wu, or Heavenly Queen, usurped the throne on the death of Kcto-tsung % the annual £, and reigned for 20 years, clad in Imperial robes and offering sacrifices to heaven. She tried to spread the belief that she was the Supreme Being. Despotic, harsh, vindictive and cruel, she was at last deposed A.D. 705, and the rightful heir, Chung-tsung Gowan.
