Sengcan is best known as the putative author of the famous poem, ( W-G:.

The year and place of Sengcan ’ s birth is unknown, as is his family name.

It is said that Sengcan was over forty years old when he first met Huike in 536 and that he stayed with his teacher for six years.

: Sengcan: I am riddled with sickness.

: Sengcan ( after a long pause ): When I look for my sin, I cannot find it.

There are discrepancies about how long Sengcan stayed with Huike.

However, the Lamp records claim that after giving Sengcan Dharma transmission, Huike warned Sengcan to live in the mountains and “ Wait for the time when you can transmit the Dharma to someone else .” as a prediction made to Bodhidharma ( Huike ’ s teacher ) by Prajnadhara, the twenty-seventh Chan ancestor in India, foretold of a coming calamity.

After receiving transmission, Sengcan lived in hiding on Wangong Mountain in Yixian and then on Sikong Mountain in southwestern Anhui.

Daoxin attended Sengcan for nine years and received Dharma transmission when he was still in his early twenties.

Subsequently, Sengcan spent two years at Mount Luofu ( Lo-fu shan, northeast of Kung-tung ( Canton )) before returning to Wangong Mountain.

Dumoulin notes that a Chinese official, Li Ch ’ ang found Sengcan ’ s grave in Shu-chou in 745 or 746.

Sengcan received the honorary title (“ Mirror Wisdom ”) from the Tang dynasty emperor Xuan Zong.

Sengcan, like Bodhidharma and Huike before him, was reputed to be a devotee and specialist in the study of the Lankavatara Sutra, which taught the elimination of all duality and the “ forgetting of words and thoughts ”, stressing the contemplation of wisdom.

The link between this sutra and the “ Bodhidharma school ” is provided in Tao-hsuan ’ s Further Biographies of Eminent Monks where, in the biography of Fa-ch ’ ung he “ stresses that Hui-k ’ o was the first to grasp the essence of the Lankavatara Sutra ” and includes Sengcan as one who “ discoursed on but did not write about the profound message of the Lankavatara Sutra.

Although Sengcan has traditionally been honored as the author of the Xinxin Ming ( W-G: Hsin-hsin Ming ), most modern scholars dismiss this as unlikely and improbable.

The historical record of Sengcan is extremely limited.

The earliest recorded note naming Sengcan is in Further Biographies of Eminent Monks ( 645 ) ( Japanese, Zoku kosoden ; Pin-yin, Hsu kao-seng chuan ) by Tao-hsuan (?- 667 ) where Sengcan is named, immediately after Huike ’ s name, as one of seven disciples of Huike in a biographical entry of the Lankavatara sutra master, Fa-ch ’ ung ( 587-665 ) No further information is given.

Some have speculated that it was merely the fact that Sengcan ’ s name immediately followed Huike ’ s name in the latter work that led to him being named as the Third Patriarch of Chan.

Therefore, the biography that follows is garnered largely from traditional biographies of Sengcan, mainly the Transmission of the Lamp.

The first of the five records in the compendium is a text commonly referred to as the Transmission of the Lamp and it is from this text that most of the information about Sengcan is garnered.
