ved by Seng-yu (Nanjio, 1476) who wrote about 520. Some notes on the Patriarchs and reproductions of Chinese pictures representing them will be found in Dore, pp. 244 ff. It is extremely curious that Asvaghosha is represented as a woman.] [Footnote 803: It is found, for instance, in the lists of the Jain Tirthankaras and in some accounts of the Buddhas and of the Avataras of Vishnu.] [Footnote 804: See Watters, _Yuan Chwang_, p. 290. But the dates offer some difficulty, for Mihirakula, the celebrated Hun chieftain, is usually supposed to have reigned about 510-540 A.D. Taranatha (Schiefner, p. 95) speaks of a martyr called Malikabuddhi. See, too, _ib._ p. 306.] [Footnote 805: It is clear that the school of Valabhi was to some extent a rival of Nalanda.] [Footnote 806: For a portrait of Hui-neng see Kokka, No. 297. The names of Bodhidharma's successors are in Chinese characters [Chinese: ]] [Footnote 807: [Chinese: ]] [Footnote 808: [Chinese: ] Much biographical information respecting this and other schools will be found in Dore, vols. VII and VIII. But there is little to record in the way of events or literary and doctrinal movements.] [Footnote 809: [Chinese: ]] [Footnote 810: [Chinese: ]] [Footnote 811: Lin-Chi means coming to the ford. Is this an allusion to the Pali expression Sotapanno? The name appears in Japanese as Rinzai. Most educated Chinese monks when asked as to their doctrine say they belong to the Lin-Chi.] [Footnote 812: They are generally called the three mysteries (Hsuan) and the three important points (Yao), but I have not been able to obtain any clear explanation of what they mean. See Edkins, _Chinese Buddhism_, p. 164, and Hackmann, _l.c._ p. 250.] [Footnote 813: Wieger, _Bouddhisme Chinois_, p. 108, states that 230 works belonging to this sect were published under the Manchu dynasty.] [Footnote 814: See _e.g._ Nanjio, Cat. 1527, 1532.] [Footnote 815: [Chinese: ] Tendai in Japanese. It is also called in China [Chinese: ] Fa-hua.] [Footnote 816: [Chinese: ] Also often spoken of as Chih-che-ta-shih. [Chinese: ] Officially he is often styled the fourth Patriarch of the school. See Dore, p. 449.] [Footnote 817: [Chinese: ] In Pali Buddhism also, especially in later works, Samatha and Vipassana may be taken as a compendium of the higher life as they are respectively the results of the two sets of religious exercises called Adhicitta and Adhipanna.
