Xuē Jiǎn 薛簡
Táng court official; dispatched by emperor Zhōngzōng (or per other accounts Zé Tiān) to convey an imperial summons to the Sixth Patriarch 惠能 Huìnéng at Cáoxī, the encounter forming a familiar set-piece in the Liùzǔ tán jīng and reworked in the Dìwáng wèndào lù selection of Xiānjué zōngshèng (KR6q0052).
