So his dates, more exact dates are 1067, to 1120, that makes it the 12th century. He was a disciple of even more famous master, wuzu phi yen. He is one of three illustrious students of Wu Zhu faiyan who are known as the three Buddhas and the other two, besides foyan, were fo Guo and fo John. My apologies to those who, those who know how to pronounce Chinese, and I do my best, but it's not, not the real thing. You know, Chinese has five different intonations, six I've heard once. So everything depends on the bat. And I'll just do the best I can. So foyan, fo Guo and fo John, the word fo means Buddha, hence the term the three Buddhas. And it says here at the young age of 14. And this is original material from centuries ago, when I'm reading at the young age of 14, foyan took the Buddhist precepts. He then began by studying the sutras, Buddhist sutras, and practicing the tenets of the Vinaya. Viniyas is, I don't think it's around now, not in this country or West, but it was a very prominent school ins day. That emphasize a mastery of the of the moral precepts, an understanding of it and and putting that into practice. So he was studying sutras, and he was practicing. He was studying the principles of the Vinaya. And then one day, he read a passage in the Lotus Sutra. They said, it is the Dharma that cannot be discerned by thinking. It is the it is the Dharma that cannot be discerned by thinking that can be attained. So that's what can be attained, the Dharma that cannot be understood by thinking. So this had quite an impact on him, and he he asked his Vinaya teacher for an explanation, but he got no answer. So foyan sighed and said, doctrinal study can't resolve the great matter of life and death. And that's a that's a basic principle of Zen, Zen or Chan, the Chinese word for Zen, is Chan. He. That it's the school Zen is the school or Chan is the School of direct experience, direct experience, not learning, not memorizing, but the experience itself.
