description: "Bassui Tokushō  was a Rinzai Zen Master born in modern-day Kanagawa Prefecture who had trained with Sōtō and Rinzai Zen-masters. Bassui was tormented by the question \"Who is the one that sees, hears, and understands?\" This question was also central in his teachings, and still inspires present-day Zen-practitioners."
