This classic was written by the sixth-century monk and meditation master, Shramana Zhiyi , one of the most illustrious figures in the history of Chinese Buddhism. Master Zhiyi is famous for his role in the founding of the Tiantai teachings lineage and for his authorship of a quartet of meditation manuals of which this is one.
