A monk from the Tang Dynasty in China, and the founder of the Jimin school of Pure Land Buddhism. His real surname was Xin, and his given name was Huiri. Jimin Tripitaka was a title bestowed upon him by Emperor Xuanzong. He was from Donglai, Qingzhou (Ye County, Shandong Province). Impressed by Yijing's work in India seeking the Dharma, he set out on a pilgrimage to India by sea to visit Buddhist sites. He spent 18 years visiting over 70 countries, and returned to Chang'an by land in 719. The Jimin school he founded was a form of Nembutsu Zen that combined Zen and Nembutsu, and had a major influence on Pure Land Buddhism after the Song Dynasty. He is the author of works such as Jodo Jibishu. [Tonami Mamoru]
