Qingyuan Xingsi (J. Seigen Gyōshi; K. Ch’ŏngwŏn Haengsa 青原行思) (d. 740). A Chinese Chan master of the Tang dynasty, Qingyuan is said to have been a native of Jizhou in present-day Jiangxi province.[1] Little is known of his career besides the fact that he was ostensibly the student of Huineng, the sixth patriarch of the Chan school.[1]

He later resided at the monastery of Jingjusi on Mt. Qingyuan (present-day Jiangxi province) and acquired many students, of whom Shitou Xiqian (700–790) is the most famous.[1]
