Zen Thought in Six Ancestors Tanjing;
1. Thought of "Different Buddhism and Dharma": Huineng's view of Buddhism and Dharma is actually rooted in Taoism, which clearly shows that China Zen is influenced by China's traditional culture and Taoist thought. In addition, Mr. Fang Dongmei also demonstrated that China Buddhism was mainly influenced by Taoism in its formation stage from the perspective of "Geyi" and the cultural background at that time.
2. since the enlightenment since the enlightenment's "Enlightenment": "since the enlightenment since the enlightenment" is the basic principle of Huineng's meditation. "Six Ancestors Tanjing" points out that "good knowledge, self-purification, self-study and self-cultivation." Huineng's self-study in since the enlightenment is based on self-reliance and independence from others.
3. "Don't write": The origin of Zen Buddhism's "don't write and don't teach" and "heart to heart" is the allusion of Sakyamuni's "smiling at flowers". The original intention of Huineng Nanzong's "not writing" is not to completely advocate not writing, nor is it just to teach disciples not to write rigidly when learning Confucian classics, but to break through the mask of language and try to grasp the truth behind it.
4. The thought of "three noes": the thought of "three noes" means "no mind for teaching, no phase for body, no life for foundation". Six ancestors regarded it as the three major programs of Zen practice. The Six Ancestors "Tanjing" said: "If you leave all the phases, it is said that there is no phase. If we can leave each other, the dharma will be clean. This is based on no phase. " Reality has no phase, but it doesn't leave everything and has no meaning. This requires prajna paramita, so it is not a living phase. Only through various phases can it be legal.
