Gāo Dàosùshǒu 高道素手 (fl. late 16th–early 17th century CE) was a Ming-dynasty lay Buddhist who compiled and engraved for circulation the Wǔbǎi Luóhàn zūnhào 五百羅漢尊號 (KR6i0030, L157n1651), preserved in the Qianlong Edition of the Canon (乾隆藏). His name as recorded in the preface may represent the formula “Gāo Dàosù, recorded by [his own] hand” (高道素 手錄) rather than a single personal name, but the catalog tradition treats it as a single identifier.
According to the text’s preface, his father, a Ming literatus surnamed Gāo 高 with the Buddhist sobriquet Míng Shuǐ 明水, was a lay disciple of the Tiantai master Liánchí Dàshī 蓮池大師 (Zhūhóng 袾宏, 1535–1615 CE). His father discovered in Beijing an old stone stele of the Southern Song Shàoxīng period (1131–1162) from Qiánmíng Monastery 乾明院 in Jiāng’yīn 江陰, bearing the names of the five hundred arhats, and copied it by hand. The son (Gāo Dàosùshǒu) subsequently had the list re-engraved for wider circulation, adding the eighteen eternal-resident arhats (住世十八尊者). CBDB records a 高道素 with index year 1589, consistent with this late Ming context.
