Hsüan-sha Shih-pei
Hsüan-sha Shih-pei (Jap., Gensha Shibi; 835–908). A Chʾan/Zen master, the dharma-successor (hassu) of Hsüeh-feng I-tsʾun, who began life as an illiterate fisherman. He received initial training in a monastery under Vinaya rules, and lived an austerely ascetic life until he began pilgrimages to meet Chʾan masters. On one of these, he stubbed his toe against a stone in the road and experienced sudden enlightenment (Ho-tse).
