Baotang Wuzhu (traditional Chinese: 保唐無住, 714–774 CE), also rendered in the Wade-Giles romanization as Pao-t'ang Wu-chu, was the head and founder of the Baotang School of Chan Buddhism (Chinese: 保唐宗) in Chengdu, Sichuan, southwest China. The Baotang School was known for its radical rejection of rituals and formal Buddhist practices.
