Bassui Tokushō
Bassui Tokushō was a Rinzai Zen Master born in modern-day Kanagawa Prefecture who had trained with Sōtō and Rinzai Zen-masters. Bassui was tormented by the question "Who is the one that sees, hears, and understands?" This question was also central in his teachings, and still inspires present-day Zen-practitioners.
