Zhu Dao-Sheng (372-434) claimed that even the most evil man has some Buddh-nature, which irritated the traditional moralists of the Chinese Buddhist world, and got driven out of the monkery .His contribution lays in his search for the common ground of the ultimate Buddh-nature, which is argumentatively as powerful as the idea “everyone can be the ancient saintly kings” maintained by Chinese Confucians. His doctrine would play a significant role in the root-taking of Indian Buddhism in Chinese culture. The doctrine of epiphany is defined in terms of the Bodhisattvas Ten Stages, which would have influence on the later school of Zen.
