Six-juan yǔlù of Huīzhōu Hào 昊 暉洲昊 (lifedates unknown, active 1675–1699+), LínjìYángqí dharma-heir of Liǎozōng Chāojiàn 了宗超見 (1614–1688) of Pánshān 盤山.

Other abbacies in Yǒngpíngfǔ 永平府, Yùtiánxiàn 玉田縣, Liáodōng Cháoyángsì 朝陽寺, Níngyuǎnzhōu Dìzàngsì 寧遠地藏寺. notBefore ≈ 1675 (post-付法 abbacy career under Liǎozōng who was active from the 1670s); notAfter = 1699 (preface).

Other points of interest
This is the major LínjìYángqí yǔlù of post-1644 northern-frontier Buddhism after Pòshān Hǎimíng’s line passed through 函可 (Cáodòng, exiled to Liáodōng) and 古林智 (Línjì, integrated into the Mukden ecclesiastical establishment). Huīzhōu Hào represents the third-stage institutional consolidation of Manchurian-Hé-běi Buddhism: 13 simultaneously-held abbacies under formal Qīng patronage, with Tiānjīn as a key bridge-station between Héběi monastic centers and the Liáodōng frontier.
