Wulong Shaokang

Wulong Shaokang (烏龍少康, 736–806) was a Chinese Buddhist monk in the Tang Dynasty, considered the Fifth Patriarch of the Pure Land School in Chinese Buddhism and in Japanese Jōdo-shū.^[1]^[2] He was later given the sobriquet "Later Shandao" for his influence in Chinese Pure Land Buddhism due to his devotion to Buddha-recitation (念佛, Nianfo). Shaokang eventually came to be regarded as a reincarnation of Shandao.^[3]^[2]
