(173.52.161.72, 74.72.15.7): it is clear that you have misinterpreted your sources. You claim: "Wonch'uk and his disciples eventually established their own school, called the Ximing school...." as evidence that Wonch'uk established the Ximing *monastery*, but this is a quote out of context. The book that you cite indicates that: "The two Yogacara schools, Old and New, differed in their theoretical approaches and there were conflicts between them. Wonch'uk and his disciples eventually established their own school, called the Ximing school. This was followed by the Silla Vijnanavada school, which included such noted monks as Tojung and T'aehyon. Vijnanavada theory in Silla developed its own unique characteristics quite distinct from those of Xuanzang's school in China. The Silla school not only effected a synthesis of the various Vijnanavada schools in China, but it also adoptd theories from other Chinese schools, such as Tientai and Huayan." It's clear to any astute reader that the "schools" referred to here are schools of thought, not actual, physical schools ala monasteries or temples. This article is about the Ximing Temple, not the Ximing school of thought created by Wonch'uk and his disciples.
