Nanpo Shà Âmyà  grew up and studied at his hometown's temple, Takyà Â-ji. In 1249 he began studying Zen under Lanxi Daolong at Kenchà Â-ji. In 1259 he traveled to Song China and received dharma-transmission from the monk Xutang Zhiyu (Kidà  Chigu). In 1267 he returned to Japan and Kenchà Â-ji, staying until 1270, when he moved Kà Âtoku-ji in Chikuzen Province. In 1272 years he became the chief priest at Sà Âfuku-ji. In 1304, at the invitation of Emperor Go-Uda, he entered Manju-ji. In 1307 he returned to Kenchà Â-ji. He died at the age of 75 in 1309. He was the master of Kyà Âà  Unryà  and Shà «hà  Hyà Âchà Â.
In December 1309, Emperor Go-Uda awarded him the Kokushi name of "Entsà « Daià Â", which is the beginning of Zen monks receiving the Kokushi name in Japan. Following him, Shà «hà  Hyà Âchà  received Daità  Kokushi and then Kanzan Egen received Muso Daishi. The names of the three monks formed the à Âtà Âkan lineage.
