Ryōgen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ryōgen (良源, 912 – January 31, 985) was the 18th chief abbot of Enryaku-ji in the 10th century.
He is considered a restorer of the Tendai school of Mahayana Buddhism,[1] and credited for reviving Enryaku-ji.[2] His supposed role as a precursor of the sōhei or "warrior monks" is questionable and seems to be a later invention.[3]
