Ruyuan (abbess)

Ruyuan (Chinese: 如願, 700-775 CE) was a Chinese Buddhist abbess and master, lüshi.[1][2]

She was a member of the Li family of Longxi, one of the five most important families under the Tang dynasty.[2] She became a novice at the age of nine, a nun at twenty, and an abbess at the temple convent of Zhenhua Temple (真化寺) in Chang'an.[1][2] She was a master within the Chan Buddhism and famed as a lecturer and organizer of religious rituals with a great circle of followers.[1][3] She was favored by Emperor Daizong of Tang, who enlisted her to officiate at religious ceremonies at court and give lessons to his empress, wives and concubines.[1] In particular, Ruyuan was noted as the teacher of Consort Dugu.[4]
