Northern-Sòng lay Daoist hagiographic figure associated with Máo Shān 茅山. Also known as Liáng Guāngyìng 梁光映. According to Hùnyuán shèngjì 混元聖紀 (Xiè Shǒuhào 謝守灝, presented to the throne in 1191) 9.45b–46a, Liáng was a leper who entered the Yùchén Guàn 玉晨觀 on Máo Shān as a serf (nú 奴) in Dàguān 3 (1109) or Zhènghé 2 (1112, per the same text’s variant tradition); his task was to fetch water from the pond in front of the monastery. After several years Lǎojūn appeared to him in a vision, bestowing upon him the Tiāntóng hùmìng miào jīng 天童護命妙經 (DZ 632 / DZ 633), by recitation of which over water he and others were healed of leprosy. In Fù Xiāo’s 傅霄 1144 postface to DZ 632 (KR5c0013), Liáng is represented at the Pond of Dragon-Feeding (Yǎnglóng chí 養龍池) before the Ruìxiàng Diàn 瑞像殿 receiving the scripture from Lǎojūn, after which he abandoned ordinary food, attained literacy without prior learning, wrote and recited scriptures, and revealed to men their calamities and blessings with divinatory accuracy. Three days before his apotheosis he wrote twenty-four talismans and cast them into the Pond; the water thereafter continued to heal the sick. His stele in the Yùchén Guàn is mentioned in Máo Shān zhì 茅山志 9.9a and 18.1b, located within the Ruìxiàng Diàn alongside a Táng statue of Lǎojūn; the Máo Shān zhì dates the revelation to 1109.
Not attested in CBDB, plausibly because his historicity is conjectural: Liáng may be in part a Daoist hagiographic construct built around a miraculous-healing legend attached to the Máo Shān cult-site. He is not listed among the historical abbots or patriarchs of Máo Shān. No related scripture other than DZ 632 / DZ 633 / KR5c0013–KR5c0014 is attributed to him.
