Heze School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Heze School (traditional Chinese: 菏澤宗; simplified Chinese: 菏泽宗; pinyin: Hézézōng), also called the Ho-tse School, was a short-lived school of Chinese Chan Buddhism during the Tang dynasty that was founded by Heze Shenhui (670–762) and who last patriarch was Guifeng Zongmi. His writings and interpretation of Chan later strongly influenced Korean Seon Buddhism, particularly through Chinul, well after the school had died out.
