Jixing Chewu (Chinese: 際醒徹悟, c. 1741–1810) was a prominent Buddhist scholar and monk who came to be recognized as the twelfth patriarch of Pure Land Buddhism. He was also known by the sobriquet Mengdong and as "Hongluo Chewu" in honor of his association with Mount Hongluo. Initially a Chan monk ordained in the Linji school, Chewu later abandoned Chan and dedicated himself completely to Pure Land Buddhism.
