云谷禅师 / Yungu Chanshi

云谷禅师 / Yungu Chanshi appears in Hanji 161 part 4 as the Buddhist teacher who changes 袁了凡’s relationship to fate. The episode says Yuan had accepted a predicted life pattern until Yungu Chanshi pointed him toward 发心,积德行善, and embodied practice.

This page is source-scoped. The wiki records Yungu Chanshi as a teacher-function in the episode’s argument: a fate prediction becomes changeable only when a person stops treating it as a sentence and begins treating conduct as the place where fate can be worked on.
