Zheng Jue (Cheng Chueh) 1091-1157
He became a novice monk at eleven, and was ordained three years later. At the age of eighteen he travelled all over the country. He stayed in the monastery in the Tiantong Mountain for nearly thirty years and was therefore also known as Priest Tiantong. Most of his works are extant.
