'''Daosheng'''
==Life==
Born in [[Pengcheng]], Daosheng left home to become a monk at eleven.{{sfn|Kim|1985|p=38-39}} He studied in [[Jiankang]] under [[Zhu Fatai]], and later at [[
[[Sengzhao]] reports that Daosheng assisted Kumarajiva in his translation of the [[Lotus Sutra]], Daosheng wrote commentaries on the Lotus Sutra, the [[Vimalakirti-nirdesa Sutra]] and the [[Astasahasrika-prajnaparamita Sutra]] (the last of which has been lost).{{sfn|Hsiang-Kuang|1956|p=66}} In 408, he returned to Lushan, and in 409 back to Jiankang, where he remained for some twenty years, staying at the

Daosheng controversially ascribed [[Buddha-nature]] to the [[icchantikas]], based on his reading on a short version of the [[Mahaparinirvana Sutra]], which in that short form appears to deny the Buddha-nature to icchantikas; the long version of the [[Nirvana Sutra]], however (not yet known to Daosheng), explicitly includes the icchantikas in the universality of the Buddha-nature.{{sfn|Blum|2003|pp=201-202}}{{sfn|Buswell|Lopez|2013|p=370}}{{sfn|Kanno|1994|p=88-89}} Daosheng's bold doctrine of including icchantikas within the purview of the Buddha-nature, even before that explicit teaching had actually been found in the long ''Nirvana Sutra'', led to the expulsion of
With the availability of the long [[Nirvana Sutra]] after 430, through the translation of [[Dharmakshema]], Daosheng was vindicated and praised for his insight.{{sfn|Kim|1992|p=35}} He remained in Lushan, composing his commentary on the Lotus Sutra in 432, until his death in 434.
Daosheng's exegesis of the Nirvana Sutra had an enormous influence on interpretations of the Buddha-nature in Chinese Buddhism that prepared the ground for the [[Chán]] school emerging in the 6th century.
