description: "Heshang Moheyan was a late 8th century Buddhist monk associated with the East Mountain Teaching. Moheyan (摩訶衍) is a brief translation of Mahayana in Chinese, so the name literally means a Mahayana monk. He became famous for representing Chan Buddhism in the so called \"Council of Lhasa,\" a debate between adherents of the Indian teachings of \"gradual enlightenment\" and the Chinese teachings of \"sudden enlightenment,\" which according to tradition was won by the \"gradual teachings.\""
