Ingen's father disappeared when he was five. At age 20, while searching for him, Ingen arrived at [[Mount Putuo]] off [[Zhejiang]] [[Provinces of China|province]], where he served tea to monks. At 28, after the death of his mother, he was ordained as a monk at his family temple - [[Wanfu Temple]], [[Mount Huangbo]], [[Fujian]]. Ingen's teachers there were [[Mi-yün Yüen-wu|Miyun Yuanwu]] and [[Feiyin Tongrong]]. In [[1633]] he received [[dharma]] transmission from the latter, and in [[1637]] served his first term as abbot. His second term as 33rd abbot of the temple began in [[1646]] and at this time he is credited with helping Mount Huangbo to develop in to a thriving Buddhist centre. In [[1654]], after repeated requests of [[Itsunen Shoyu]] he went to [[Nagasaki, Nagasaki|Nagasaki]], [[Japan]] with around 30 monks and artisans, including his disciple [[Muyan]], and founded the [[Obaku (school of Buddhism)|Ōbaku]] [[Schools of Buddhism|sect]], establishing its head temple [[Mampuku-ji]] at [[Uji]] in [[1661]]. Yinyuan Longqi was also a skilled calligrapher. Along with his disciples [[Mokuan Shoto]] and [[Sokuhi Nyoitsu]], he was one of the ''[[Obaku no Sanpitsu]]'' ("Three Brushes of Ōbaku"). He is known to have carried paintings by [[Chen Xian]] with him to Japan. ==See also== *[[Egoku Dōmyō]] {{buddhism2}} {{buddhism-bio-stub}} {{zen-stub}} [[Category:Ming Dynasty Buddhists]] [[Category:Qing Dynasty Buddhists]] [[Category:Obaku Buddhists]] [[Category:Zen Buddhist monks and priests]] [[Category:1592 births]] [[Category:1673 deaths]] [[Category:Chinese Zen Buddhists]] [[cs:Ingen Rjúki]] [[ja:隠元隆き]] [[pl:Yinyuan Longqi]] [[vi:Ẩn Nguyên Long Kì]]
