Chijue Daochong (J., Chizetsu Dôchû, 1169-1250), from Wuxin (Changjiang, Sichuan Province), was a renowned Southern Song (1127-1279) Chan (J., Zen) master, along with the eminent Chan master Wuzhun Shifan (J., Bujun Shiban, 1178-1249). Daochong, who was in the lineage of the master Mian Xianjie (J., Mittan Kanketsu, 1118-86), served as the head priest of the temples Tiantong, Lingyin, and Jing, in China. Daochong wrote this Zen calligraphy (J., bokuseki), a postscript to a sermon (J., hôgo) by the Chinese Linchi (J., Rinzai) Chan master Dahui Zonggao (J., Daie Sôgô, 1089-1163), at the age of seventy-three.
