After returning home, Dōshō established the <a href="/wiki/Hoss%C5%8D" class="mw-redirect" title="Hossō">Hossō</a> school, basing it on Yogācāra philosophy and built a Meditation Hall for the purpose of practising Zen in the <a href="/wiki/Gang%C5%8D-ji" title="Gangō-ji">Gangō-ji</a> in <a href="/wiki/Nara_(city)" title="Nara (city)">Nara</a>. In the <a href="/wiki/Nara_period" title="Nara period">Nara period</a> (710 to 794 C.E.), the Chan master, <a href="/wiki/Dao-xuan" title="Dao-xuan">Dao-xuan</a> (道璿, 702-760 C.E.), arrived in Japan, he taught meditation techniques to the monk <a href="/w/index.php?title=Gy%C5%8Dhy%C5%8D&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Gyōhyō (page does not exist)">Gyōhyō</a> (行表, 720–797 C.E.), who in turn was to instruct <a href="/wiki/Saich%C5%8D" title="Saichō">Saichō</a> (最澄, 767-822 C.E.), founder of the Japanese <a href="/wiki/Tendai" title="Tendai">Tendai</a> sect of Buddhism.

There he studied four branches of Buddhism including Chan and <a href="/wiki/Tiantai" title="Tiantai">Tiantai</a>, which he was, by that time, already familiar with. </p><p>The first attempt of establishing Zen as an independent doctrine was in 815, when the Chinese monk <a href="/wiki/Yikong" class="mw-redirect" title="Yikong">Yikong</a> (義空) visited Japan as the representative of Chan's Southern-school lineage, based on the teachings of the master <a href="/wiki/Mazu_Daoyi" title="Mazu Daoyi">Mazu Daoyi</a> (馬祖道一, 709–788 C.E.), who was the mentor of <a href="/wiki/Baizhang_Huaihai" title="Baizhang Huaihai">Baizhang</a> (百丈懐海, 720–814 C.E.), the supposed author of the initial set of Zen monastic regulations. Yikong arrived in 815 C.E. and tried unsuccessfully to transmit Zen systematically to the eastern nation. It is recorded in an inscription left at the famous Rashõmon gate protecting the southern entryway to <a href="/wiki/Kyoto" title="Kyoto">Kyoto</a> that, on leaving to return to China, Yikong said he was aware of the futility of his efforts due to hostility and opposition he experienced from the dominant Tendai Buddhist school. What existed of Zen in the <a href="/wiki/Heian_period" title="Heian period">Heian period</a> (794-1185 C.E.) was incorporated into and subordinate to the Tendai tradition.
