Master Yuan

Master Yuan was an iconoclastic teacher who appears in the Long Scroll (also called the Bodhidharma Anthology by Jeffrey Broughton), which contains the earliest known records of Chan Buddhism. According to Broughton, despite being an obscure figure and not appearing in traditional collections of biographies or Chan genealogical charts, Yuan may be the earliest "Zen master."
