Shaoguan ancient books

Huineng, the sixth ancestor, is regarded as the real founder of Zen Buddhism in China. His Tanjing is the only Buddhist classic in history that is honored as a sutra except the ancient Indian classics.

The third question is no problem, because being called a holy book is a supreme respect. Generally, Buddhist scriptures are handed down from India, but the Six Ancestors Tanjing was written by China people, and it is called the "Sutra", and it is the only one.

You can look at the altar sutra when you are free! Very interesting.
