| Mei An, Zhaoqing, Guangdong |
Trip 17, to Northern Guangdong, naturally involved two famous monks: Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Chan (Zen), and Master Xuyun, Chan's greatest 20th-century practitioner. I based myself in Shaoguan for most of the trip, before moving down to Zhaoqing for the last three sites.
Many of the places I went on this trip were inspired by a familiar source, Bill Porter's Zen Baggage. A more surprising reference, though, was an online thesis by a Dutch PhD student named Kees Kuiken. The Other Neng provided lots of alternative sites that may have been related to Huineng's life.
Incidentally, here's a brief itinerary for Trip 17 on my Key Temples archive.
Enjoy!
