洞山 [dong shan]—Dongshan — [Person's Name] Master Wuben (悟本大師 [wu ben da shi]) of Dongshan, Yunzhou (筠州 [yun zhou]), whose name was Liangjie (良价 [liang jia]), and whose surname was Yu (俞氏 [yu shi]). He became a monk in childhood under Chan Master Mo (默禪師 [mo chan shi]) of Wuxie Mountain (五洩山 [wu xie shan]). Later, he widely visited various masters and attained the Dharma from Master Sheng (晟師 [cheng shi]) of Yunyan (雲巖 [yun yan]). During the Dazhong (大中 [da zhong]) era of the Tang Dynasty (唐大中年中 [tang da zhong nian zhong]), he propagated his teachings in Xinfeng (新豐 [xin feng]). In his later years, he moved to Dongshan and established the Five Ranks of Particular and Universal (偏正五位 [pian zheng wu wei]) (see entry for Five Ranks 五位 [wu wei]), and his Dharma influence greatly spread (法威大揚 [fa wei da yang]). In the 13th year of Xiantong (咸通十三年 [xian tong shi san nian]), he passed away peacefully while seated (端坐長逝 [duan zuo zhang shi]) at the age of sixty-three (壽六十三 [shou liu shi san]). He was posthumously titled Master Wuben (諡悟本大師 [shi wu ben da shi]). See Jingde Chuandeng Lu (傳燈錄 [chuan deng lu]), Vol. 15.

東山 [dong shan]—Dongshan - [Place Name] The Fifth Patriarch, Chan Master Hongren (五祖弘忍禅师 [wu zu hong ren chan shi]), resided on Huangmei Mountain (黄梅山 [huang mei shan]) in Huangmei County (黄梅县 [huang mei xian]), Qizhou (蕲州 [qi zhou]). This mountain was located in the eastern part of the county, hence it was called Dongshan. The Dharma Gate of the Fifth Patriarch was therefore known as the Dharma Gate of Dongshan (东山之法门 [dong shan zhi fa men]). The Preface to the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch (六祖坛经序 [liu zu tan jing xu]) states: "The lay practitioner thus shaved his head and ascended the platform, fulfilling Buddhabhadra's (跋陀罗 [ba tuo luo]) prophecy, and opened the Dongshan Dharma Gate."

東山—【地名】五祖弘忍禪師住蘄州黃梅縣之黃梅山，其山在縣之東境，因而謂為東山，稱五祖之法門為東山之法門。六祖壇經序曰：「居士由是祝髮登壇，應跋陀羅之懸記，開東山法門。」
