Wikipedia description:

Kyunyŏ (or Kyunyeo, Korean: 균여; Hanja: 均如; 923–973) was a Korean Buddhist monk and poet. He came from the Hwangju Byeon clan and his hometown was Hwangju. Among his works are the first extant collection of poetry in Korean, Songs of the Ten Vows Samantabhara, which can be found in The Life of Kuehne (c. 1075). Gyunyeo played an important role in the spread of the Hwaeom (Korean Huayan) school of Buddhism.
