“Zhū dà fǎshī” 諸大法師 (“the various great Dharma masters”) is a collective ascription used in canonical sources for the Liáng-dynasty group of monks who, at the request of Liáng Wǔdì 梁武帝 (r. 502–549), compiled the Cíbēi dàochǎng chànfǎ 慈悲道場懺法 (KR6k0198, T1909) — the Repentance Liturgy of the Compassionate Bodhi-mandala — for the soul of his deceased consort Empress Chǐ 郗皇后. The hagiographic tradition (preserved in the work’s zhuàn 傳 prefacing the canonical text) records that Liáng Wǔdì, distressed at his consort’s metempsychosis as a serpent, commissioned the great Buddhist masters of the realm to compose the ten-juan repentance liturgy, which was performed at court on her behalf.
DILA Buddhist Person Authority A000390 records the entry as a collective ascription. Among the historically associated names are Bǎozhì 寶誌 (418–514), the celebrated Liáng wonder-worker, who tradition credits with chief leadership of the compilation, but the actual list of compilers is not preserved.
