The prosperous development of the “Maritime Silk Road” in the 17th century not only brought convenience in sea transportation and promoted trade between countries, but also acted as a bridge connecting countries. This bridge has the function of cultural exchange between peoples, especially in introducing and promoting China’s cultural and ideological quintessence with neighboring countries. During this period, Linji and Caodong sects of Chinese Zen Buddhism were spread directly into Cochinchina of Dai Viet through Chinese senior monks who followed merchant ships to this place. Among them was the Most Venarable Shilian Dashan, a senior monk at Changshou Temple, Guangzhou, who accepted Lord Nguyen Phuc Chu’s invitation to teach the Soto Dharma in Cochinchina for nearly two years (1695-1696). Based on the study of relevant historical documents and autobiographical works on this trip by Most Ven. Dashan, the article presents his biography and activities. Moreover, this article analyzes the method of spreading Dharma, Chan ideology, as well as the significance of his Dharma propagation activities for Buddhism in Cochinchina at that time.
