Abstract

The article focuses on Hui-Neng, the 6th patriarch of Buddhism in China. His background is given including his introduction to the Diamond Sutra. His travel to Hung-Jen is mentioned along with his meeting with the 5th patriarch. The appointment of the successor is described citing the participation of Shen-Hsui, then head monk. Two verses are presented to illustrate the difference between the Indian view and the understanding discerned by Hui-Neng.
