Chihō [智鳳] (n.d.) (; Kor Chipong): A priest of the Dharma Characteristics (Chin Fa-hsiang; Hossō) school. Born in Silla, a state on the Korean Peninsula, he went to Japan while young and became known as Chihō. In 703, together with Japanese priests Chiran and Chiyū, he traveled to China and studied the Dharma Characteristics doctrine under Chih-chou. After returning to Japan, he settled at Gangō-ji temple and propagated the Consciousness-Only doctrine. This is regarded as the third transmission of the Dharma Characteristics teachings to Japan.
