NOTE:
According to the Daikaku Zenji Goroku, Lanxi Daolong (Rankei Doryu, 1213–1278) invited Wu’an Puning (Gottan Funei, 1197-1276), to come to Japan in 1260. Wu’an served as the master of Kencho-ji Temple in Kamakura until his return to China in 1265. Wu’an’s school is one of the twenty-four Zen divisions in Japan.
