Hakuin Ekaku
From Wikiquote
Hakuin Ekaku (白隠 慧鶴 Hakuin Ekaku, 1686 - 1769) was one of the most influential figures in Japanese Zen Buddhism. He transformed the Rinzai school from a declining tradition that lacked rigorous practice into a tradition that focused on arduous meditation and koan practice. Essentially all modern practitioners of Rinzai Zen use practices directly derived from the teachings of Hakuin.
