Layman Pang



Layman Pang (Chinese: 龐居士 Páng Jūshì； full name 龐蘊 Páng Yùn； Japanese: Hōkoji) (740–808) was a celebrated lay Buddhist in the Chinese Chán (Zen) tradition. Much like Vimalakīrti, who is said to have lived around the time of the buddha Siddhārtha Gautama in the 6th to 4th centuries BCE, Layman Pang is considered a model of the potential of the non-monastic Buddhist follower to live an exemplary Buddhist life.
