光宅

Kuang-chai, name of the temple where 法雲 Fa-yun early in the sixth century wrote his commentary on the <Lotus Sutra>, which is known as the 光宅疏; 光宅 became his epithet. He made a division of four yāna from the Burning House parable, the goat cart representing the (sa) śrāvaka, the deer cart the (sa) pratyekabuddha, the ox-cart the Hīnayāna bodhisattva, and the great white ox-cart the Mahāyāna bodhisattva; a division adopted by T'ien-t'ai.
