Dàcí 大慈 (1884-1923), also known by his lay name Huáng Bǎocāng 黃葆蒼, was a Buddhist layman involved in the Republican revolution and who later became a monk under Tàixū 太虛.

Biography

Huáng Bǎocāng was from Húběi 湖北. He was one of the founding members of the Awakening Society 覺社 in Shànghǎi 上海 in 1918, and he contributed to their periodical Juéshè cóngshū 覺社叢書.

In 1918, Huáng went with his friends Dǒng Mùshū 董慕舒, Lǐ Jǐnzhāng 李錦章 (See the entry for Dàyǒng 大勇), and Sūn Dàoxiū 孫道修 to hear Fóyuán 佛源 lecture in Chóngqìng 重慶, which led them all to have faith in Buddhism. Three of them tonsured under Yùhuáng 玉皇 at Tiānwáng Temple 天王寺 in Níngbō 寧波. Lǐ became Dàyǒng, Huáng became Dàcí 大慈, and Dǒng became Dàjué 大覺. Huáng was the eldest of them.
