Mengxi Heshang 濛谿和尚

School: Hongzhou | Teacher: Mazu Daoyi

Tang-dynasty master of the Hongzhou school, one of the fifty-six recorded dharma-heirs of Mazu Daoyi. He survives through a single exchange: asked 'What about when not a single thought arises?', he simply remained silent a long while, and the monk bowed.
