Seon was later popularized especially by [[Sinhaeng]] (神行; 704-779) in the latter part of the eighth century and by {{ill|Wŏnjŏk Toŭi|lt=Doui|pl|Wŏnjŏk Toŭi|ko|도의}} (道義; d. 825) at the beginning of the ninth century. From then on, many Koreans studied [[Zen|Chan]] in China and, upon their return, established their own schools at various mountain monasteries with their leading disciples.<br /> <br /> The number of these schools was initially fixed to nine, whence the name derives. Eight of these schools were of the lineage of [[Mazu Daoyi]] (馬祖道一; 709-788), as they were established through connection with either him or one of his eminent disciples:<br /> <br /> # The [[Gaji san]] school (迦智山), established at [[Borimsa]] (寶林寺) under the influence of Doui and his grand-student Chejing (體澄; 804-890). Doui studied in China under [[Zhizang]] (735-814) and [[Baizhang]] (百丈; 749-814).<br /> # The [[Seongju san]] school (聖住山), established by [[Muyeom]] (無染; 800-888) who received his [[Inga (seal of approval)|inga]] from [[Magu Baozhe]] (麻谷寶徹; b. 720?).<br /> # The [[Silsangsan]] school (實相山), founded by [[Hongcheok]] (洪陟; fl. 830), who also studied under Zhizang.<br /> # The [[Huiyang san]] school (曦陽山), founded by Beomnang and [[Chiseon Doheon]] (智詵道憲; 824-882), who was taught by a Korean teacher of the Mazu transmission.<br /> # The [[Bongnim san]] school (鳳林山), established by [[Weongam]] (圓鑑; 787-869) and his student Simhui (審希; fl. 9c). Weongam was a student of [[Zhangjing Huaihui]] (章敬懷暉; 748-835).<br /> # The [[Dongni san]] school (桐裡山), established by [[Hyejeol]] (慧徹; 785-861) who was a student of Zhizang.<br /> # The [[Sagul san]] school (闍崛山), established by [[Beom&#039;il]] (梵日; 810-889), who studied in China with [[Yanguan Qian]] (鹽官齊安; 750?-842) and [[Yuesha Weiyan]] (樂山惟嚴).<br /> # The [[Saja san]] school (獅子山), established by [[Doyun]] (道允; 797-868), who studied under [[Nanquan Puyan]] (南泉普願; 748-835).<br /> <br /> The ninth of these initial schools was the [[Sumi san]] (須彌山) school founded by [[Ieom]] (利嚴; 869-936), which had developed from the [[Caodong]] (曹洞) lineage.<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Nine Mountain Schools}}<br /> [[Category:Korean Seon]]<br /> <br /> {{Korea-stub}}<br /> {{Buddhism-stub}}</div>
