under Huaisu. Master Shen lectured on the New Commentary, and his school flourished greatly. The three virtuous masters Yisong, Rujing, and Chengchu all studied the new chapters and together propagated this school. Eventually, later generations propagated the Dongta Vinaya. Master Manyi of the Western Pagoda propagated the Xiangbu Vinaya, with numerous disciples who debated doctrinal principles with each other. These included Vinaya Masters Wei, Jun, Si (this was not Wengang), Wenhui, Sihui, Fazang (Xiangxiang of Huayan), Yuan, Yuan, Yiwei, Yuanzhi, Quanxiu, Hui Beisong, Daliang, Cha, Zhaoyin, and others. Vinaya Master Dingbin was a disciple of Manyi. Huaisu refuted Master Li's Sixteen Great Principles, and Bin composed the "Record of Breaking Deluded Attachments" in one volume to rescue Li's great principles and break Su's deluded mind. The two worthies Eiei and Fusho of Japan sought vinaya teachings and traveled to Tang. In the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, year Guiyou (corresponding to the fifth year of Tempyo in Japan), they requested Vinaya Master Bin to serve as preceptor for their ordination. Manyi transmitted to Fa Daliang, who transmitted to Yun Yi. Master Yi lectured on the Four-Part Vinaya thirty-five times. He passed away on the seventeenth day of the eleventh month in the sixth year of Dali, year Xinhai, at the age of eighty. Tan Yi's disciples continued to flourish. Xi Jing Zhanran and Qingliang Chengguan both studied vinaya under Tan Yi. Master Yi propagated the vinaya dharma of both the Xiangbu and Nanshan schools, so he composed the "Record of Revealing Correctness" regarding the "Jiecho." The Xiangbu Vinaya school was thus propagated and disseminated. Vinaya Master Shou had two outstanding disciples who propagated vinaya. In Japan, these were formerly called the "Excerpt School" and "Essential School." These were Vinaya Master Xuanyun's "Essential Discussions on Vinaya" and Nanshan Vinaya Master's "Jiecho on Monastic Affairs." Therefore, the "Essential Discussions" belongs to the Nanshan school. The Nanshan Vinaya school was transmitted for a long time in later generations. Nanshan was the ninth patriarch among the nine patriarchs, and now we establish him as the first high patriarch. His disciples were very numerous, all upholding the one school.
