Mao Ziyuan (Chinese: 茅子元, c. 1096–1166) also known by his Dharma name Cizhao (慈照) was a Chinese Buddhist monk who founded a popular Pure Land Buddhist community known as the White Lotus School (bailian-zong 白蓮宗, also known as 白蓮菜 White Lotus Vegetarians) during the Song dynasty. Originating in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, Mao Ziyuan's teachings gained widespread popularity, especially among lay practitioners. Mao's White Lotus School became the model for the numerous later White Lotus Societies that arose throughout Chinese imperial history.
