道吾円智 (Daowu Yuanzhi) is Zen monk of the Tang dynasty. He was born in Jiangxi Province, and his family name was Zhang.He studied under Master Pan and received the full monk precepts at the age of twenty. After that, he joined Master 薬山惟儼 (Yaoshan Weiyan)'s group and secretly received the proof of enlightenment.
He passed away in 835 at the age of sixty-seven, having been a monk for forty-six years. Posthumous Title is 修一大師 (Master practicing oneness). Because Yunyan and Daowu belonged to the same master, Yaoshan Weiyan, they were very close. There is a famous dialogue recorded between them about Guanyin's 'Great Compassion Thousand-Hand Eye' (known as 'The whole body is hands and eyes') (景徳傳燈録 卷第十四（No. 2076 道原纂） in Vol. 51).
Q: Why do you think Daowu Yuanzhi is a guiding master?
A: Because he discovered the talent of 夾山善會 (Yangshan Huiji). Asked by his fellow practitioner, Master Chuanzi, to 'introduce any promising practitioner you find in the future,' Dogo took the trouble to walk with his staff to visit the young Yangshan. Then, sharply perceiving the shortcomings in Yangshan's sermon, rather than dismissing him outright, he eagerly urged him, 'You should go study under Master Chuanzi,' thereby creating the decisive catalyst for Yangshan to attain great enlightenment. His attitude of not overlooking the talents of others, visiting them himself, and introducing them to a suitable master truly marks him out as a magnificent educator and guide. The *Jingde Record of the Transmission of the Lamp* contains other stories that demonstrate Dogo Enchi's deeply caring and supportive nature.
