Viên Cảnh

Viên Cảnh (圓鏡, fl. 1640s–1660s) was a Chinese Lâm Tế Chan master teaching in Quảng Trị province in seventeenth-century Vietnam^[1]. He ordained Hương Hải (1628–1715) in 1655, giving him the dharma name Huyền Cơ Thiện Giác and the lineage title Minh Châu Hương Hải — making Hương Hải the central figure of the Vietnamese Thiền revival of that century^[1].
