Duànyún Zhìchè 斷雲智徹 (b. 1310, death year unrecorded), Yuán-dynasty Chán monk, self-styled XīShǔ yě nà 西蜀野衲 (“Wild-Robed Monk of Western Shǔ”). Native of Western Shǔ 西蜀 (Sìchuān). The autobiographical passages of his Chánzōng jué yí jí (KR6q0098, T48 n2021) are the principal biographical source: received lay precepts at 26 sui in Yuántǒng yǐhài 元統乙亥 (1335); took formal monastic ordination in Zhìzhèng gēngchén 至正庚辰 (1340) on 12.8; entered the ménxià 門下 of the teacher Yúnfēng 雲峯, who assigned him the Wàn fǎ guī yī, yī guī hé chù 萬法歸一，一歸何處 (“the ten-thousand dharmas return to the one; to where does the one return?”) huàtóu 話頭 for kànhuà 看話 practice. Subsequently retired with his dharma-brother Guāng 光 to the Hétángān 何堂庵 at Kuífǔ 蘷府 (modern Fèngjié 奉節 in Sìchuān) for a three-year intensive solitary retreat, under vows of non-lying-down, no-sitting-on-stools, and no-visits-to-patrons.
The Chánzōng jué yí jí is unusual in the Chán genre for its strong autobiographical cast: Zhìchè narrates his Chán training and awakening experientially rather than doctrinally, and the text includes unusually concrete descriptions of the jìng niàn xiāng jì 淨念相繼 contemplative state attained at the climax of the three-year retreat.
Works in the Kanripo corpus: KR6q0098 Chánzōng jué yí jí 禪宗決疑集 (1 juan, T48 n2021).
