In the early Song Dynasty, Cloud Gate reached its peak, and many outstanding monks and great virtues emerged. For example, the second generation, Xianglin Chengyuan, Bai Yunxiang, Deshan Mi Yuan, Dongshan Shouchu, Baling Li Jian and other more than 80 people. There are more than 80 people in the third generation, such as Zhimen Guangzuo, Wuzu Shijie and Manjusri Yingzhen. The fourth generation has the reappearance of snow sinus and Dongshan. After nearly 300 years of prosperity, Yunmen School declined gradually due to the invasion of Jin Bing and the southward crossing of Song Dynasty. Finally, the Yunmen Sect died after it settled in Shenjing Zen Master (11years ago, the 11th generation of Yunmen Sect).
1943, 100-year-old Buddhist monk Xu Shang Xia Yun moved from Nanhua Temple to Xiyunmen, which is the 12th generation. 195 1 in the spring of last year, Zen Master Xia Yuan (then called "Vacuum") came to Yunmen to pay a visit to Xu Yun, an old monk. He paid great attention to it and was appointed as his confidant. In August, Lao Xu passed on the book of cloud gate patriarchal clan system, giving it a wonderful name, the source of Buddha, which is the 13th generation of cloud gate Sect. 1953, the Buddha succeeded the abbot of yunmen temple. 1982, with the support of the party, the government and all walks of life, the Buddhist monk returned to Yunmen to rebuild yunmen temple. In 2003, the Buddha retired from yunmen temple (later died in 2009) and became a great monk. Buddha's life has contributed greatly to the promotion of the Zen method of Yunmen Sect. His seven Buddhist revelations and quotations on solving crimes are widely circulated in the Buddhist community, and readers have benefited a lot. His disciples (Yunmen Sect14th generation) numbered nearly 400, many of whom became the pillars of Buddhism.
