Kaixian Ying 開先行瑛

School: Linji | Teacher: Donglin Changzong

Song Linji (Huanglong branch) master titled Guangjian, dharma heir of Donglin Zhaojue Changzong. Ordained at Puti monastery in his home prefecture; he first glimpsed the essential meaning under Qingxian, then settled all his doubts with Changzong, and went on to head Kaixian monastery on Mt. Lu. He was a close friend of the poet Huang Tingjian (Huang Luzhi). Two dharma heirs are recorded — and the corpus independently confirms both.
