Yongjia Xuanjue
Yongjia Xuanjue (; ), also known as Yongjia Zhenjue (),〔 was a Zen and Tiantai Buddhist monk who lived during the Tang dynasty. The name Yongjia is derived from the city of his birth, which is now called Wenzhou. He is also known by his nickname "The Overnight Guest" because of his first encounter with his teacher, Huineng. On a visit to Caoxi (漕溪), where Huineng's Nanhua Temple is located, Yongjia was convinced to stay just one night, during which his enlightenment was acknowledged. He supposedly died while meditating in 713. He is best remembered today as the author of the ''Song of Enlightenment'', often known by its Japanese name Shodoka (證道歌).〔 This work remains popular in contemporary Zen practice. For example, Kosho Uchiyama quotes the following when giving his instructions on seated meditation:
Neither try to eliminate delusion, nor search for what is real. This is because ignorance, just as it is, is the Buddha Nature. This worldly body itself which appears and disappears like a phantom is nothing other than the reality of life. When you actually wake up to the reality of life, there is not any particular thing which you can point to and say, 'this is it'.
In other words, Uchiyama explains, while one should not be "dragged around" by the thoughts that occur during meditation, one should also not try to extinguish them as they are an expression of true reality. Xuanjue is also known for the Yongjia ji (永嘉集), a collection of his writings.
==Biography==
Yongjia Xuanjue was born in 665 in present-day Wenzhou in Zhejiang Province, China. The city went by the name of Yongjia at the time, and he came to be named for his birthplace later in life. He began studying Buddhism at an early age as a monk in the Tiantai school and was given the dharma name Mingdao (明道), meaning "bright path". He was friends with Xuanlang (玄朗), who would go on to become the fifth patriarch of Tiantai. He settled at Lung-hsing temple in Wenzhou, where he remained teaching until his death in 713. He was prominent enough that after his death, the Emperor Xuanzong gave him the posthumous name Wuxiang (無象), meaning 'without phenomena'. His two works that survive today are the ''Song of Enlightenment'' and the ''Yongjia Collection''.〔
