The Platform Sutra (on the Great Perfection of Wisdom) ~ Master Hui-neng

Selected passages from the "The Sutra of Hui-neng, Grand Master
of Zen" (Platform Sutra), using an amalgam of
translations.Hui-neng (638-713) was a seminal figure in Buddhist
history and is one of the most beloved and respected figure in
Zen Buddhism. An illiterate woodcutter who attained enlightenment
in a flash, he became the Sixth Patriarch of Chinese Zen, and is
regarded as the founder of the "Sudden Enlightenment" school. He
is the supreme exemplar of the fact that neither education nor
social background has any bearing on the attainment of
enlightenment. The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch, which
is said to be a record of his teachings, is a highly influential
text in the East Asian Buddhist tradition.
