Uicheon (28 September, 1055 - 5 October 1101) was a Korean Buddhist monk who founded the Cheontae school of Buddhism.[1] Son of King Munjong of Goryeo.[2] He lived at Ryongtongsa in Kaesong for much of his life and was buried there, where his tomb can be found today.
From 1073-1090 he collected Tripiṭaka commentaries from Korea, China, the Khitan Empire and Japan, which were published as the "Goryeo Catalog of Sutras" (or "Goryeo Supplement to the Canon").[3]
Guksa was his title (‘National Preceptor’); while Daegak was his posthumous Dharma name, meaning "Grand Enlightenment".
