Nenghai (Chinese: 能海; pinyin: Nénghǎi; 20 January 1886 – 1 January 1967) was a Vajrayana Buddhist monk of the Gelug school and religious leader in modern China. He is considered one of the key figures of the "Movement of Tantric Rebirth" (密教復興運動) which sought to revitalize Chinese Esoteric Buddhism.[1]
Nenghai was vice-president of the Buddhist Association of China. He was a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a delegate to the 1st and 2nd National People's Congress.[2][3]
