description: "Daoxuan was an eminent Tang dynasty Chinese Buddhist monk. He is perhaps best known as the Patriarch of the four-part Vinaya school. Daoxuan wrote both the Continued Biographies of Eminent Monks and the Standard Design for Buddhist Temple Construction. Legends retold in his biographies also associate him to a relic of the Buddha which came to be called Daoxuan's tooth, one of the four tooth relics enshrined in the capital of Chang'an during the Tang dynasty. He is said to have received the relic from Nezha, a divinity associated with Indra."
