Chiho
智鳳 (n.d.) ( Jpn; Kor Chipong)

    A priest of the Dharma Characteristics (Chin Fa-hsiang; Jpn Hosso) school. Born in Silla, a state on the Korean Peninsula, he went to Japan while young and became known as Chiho. In 703, together with Japanese priests Chiran and Chiyu, he traveled to China and studied the Dharma Characteristics doctrine under Chih-chou. After returning to Japan, he settled at Gango-ji temple and propagated the Consciousness-Only doctrine. This is regarded as the third transmission of the Dharma Characteristics teachings to Japan.
