Zhaozhou Congshen Life story
Zhàozhōu Cōngshěn was a Chán Buddhist master especially known for his "paradoxical statements and strange deeds". Zhaozhou became ordained as a monk at an early age. At the age of 18, he met Nánquán Pǔyuàn, a successor of Mǎzǔ Dàoyī, and eventually received the Dharma from him.
