Yantou Quanhuo

Yantou Quanhuo (Chinese: 巖頭全豁; pinyin: Yántóu Quánhuō; Japanese Gānto Zenkatsu[1]) (828–887) was an ancient Ch'an master of Yantou Monastery in Ezhou, China.

A dharma heir of Deshan Xuanjin, Quanho was born in Quanzhou and became a novice monk at Baoshu Temple in Changan, China.

Known to be an avid traveler, Yantou eventually began studying Ch'an under Deshan and received Dharma transmission from him.

In 887 on the "eighth day of the fourth month"[2] his temple was raided by bandits.
