Ōuyáng was a lay Buddhist teacher and founder of the Chinese Inner Studies Institute 支那內學院.

Biography

Ōuyáng studied under Yáng Wénhuì 楊文會 in Nánjīng 南京 at the end of the first decade of the 20th century, and after Yáng's death Ōuyáng continued his teacher's education efforts by founding the Chinese Inner Studies Institute 支那內學院 in 1922. In 1931 he founded the periodicals Inner Studies Monthly 內學 and Inner Studies Magazine 內院雜刊. He was a vocal advocate of Dharmalakṣaṇa and Consciousness-Only philosophy 法相唯識學.

In the 1920s, he and several of his students were involved in debates, primarily with Tàixū 太虛 and his students, over the authenticity of the Mahāyāna Awakening of Faith (See 大乘起信論真偽辯). His side felt it was a Chinese apocryphal text.

In 1937 he fled Nánjīng because of the war and continued his publishing activities in Jiāngjīn 江津, Sìchuān 四川. He died of illness in 1943.

Ōuyáng had two sons, Ōuyáng Gé 歐陽格 (1895-1940) and Ōuyáng Zhāng 歐陽璋 (dates unknown). Gé was commander-in-chief of the Navy of the National Revolutionary Army.
