Huiwen


Huiwen is considered to be the first patriarch of the Chinese Buddhist School Tiantai. He derived from the Gao family in the current Bohai region of Shandong, under the Northern Qi Dynasty. Huiwen´s doctrine on the 'simultaneity of the mind in the three wisdoms' was later developed by his disciple Huìsī in 'simultaneity of the minds in the three consciousnesses'.
