Daguang Juhui

837 – 903

Lineage of Daguang Juhui Qingyuan line school

Daguang Juhui (大光居誨, 837–903) is recorded in the *Jǐngdé Chuándēng Lù* as a Dharma heir of Shishuang Qingzhu and one of the lesser-attested teachers of the late-Tang Yaoshan / Qingyuan-line stream^[1]. He taught in the Tan-zhou region of modern Hunan, where Shishuang's "withered-tree hall" practice was being carried forward by a small number of successors^[2].

Few of his sayings are preserved beyond what the lamp records compile; the modern scholarly view, following Yanagida Seizan and others, is that masters like Daguang represent the bulk of the late-Tang Chan population — local teachers anchoring the spread of the new monastic culture rather than figures who themselves generate canonical koan literature^[3].
