		The southern school evolved under the powerful influence of Hui-neng (638-713), who is recognized as the sixth great patriarch of Zen and the founder of its modern interpretation.
		The goal of adherents of the southern Chan is to gain transcendental, or highest, wisdom from the depths of one's unconscious where it lies dormant.
		Chan flourished in China during the T'ang and Song dynasties (960-1279) and its influences were strongly felt in literature and painting.

		Chan Heung (1806-1875) was born in the lunar calendar 7 moon 10th day of 1806 (August 23, 1806) and began his martial arts career at the age of seven when he went to live with his uncle, Yuen Woo.
		Chan Heung was shocked when Choy Fook pointed to a large rock weighing about eighty pounds, and told him to kick it twelve feet.
		When he was twenty-nine, Chan Heung left the monk and went back to his village where he spent the next two years revising and refining all that he had learned from Choy Fook.

	Title Here
		Chan Buddhism is linked with other Indian Mahayana Buddhist schools including the Yogacara School through the Lankavatara Sutra, which was translated into Chinese around A.D. Moving meditation and disciplined exercise was and is part of Buddhism itself and its mindfulness about the body.
		Bodhidharma’s Buddhism was Chan Buddhism (Dhyan in Sanskrit, Zhan in Pali) and is well-known in Indian Buddhism.
		Chan Buddhism minimized the role of recitation of sutras and emphasized the importance of appropriate experience.

	Daoist Influence and the Formation of Chan Identity
		Southern Chan, on the contrary, was less damaged by the rebellion and persecution, due to the fact that it relied less on the royal support and on doctrines/teachings and that it was located farther away from the urban and northern areas.
		This paved the way for Southern Chan to take over and also explains why it was not Shenhui's sect but the sects in Jiangxi and Hunan provinces, the Hongzhou and Shitou sects, that became the mainstream of Chinese Chan after Huineng.
		It is the language of the commoners that constitutes the distinctive language of the mainstream of Chinese Chan in its golden age.

	Zen Information - Online Prescription Medication Directory
		Chan continued to be influential as a religious force in China, although some energy was lost with the syncretist Neo-Confucian revival of Confucianism starting in the Song period.
		After further centuries of decline, Chan was revived again in the early 20th century by Hsu Yun, who stands out as the defining figure of 20th century Chinese Buddhism.
		Many well known Chan teachers today trace their lineage back to Hsu Yun, including Sheng-yen and Hsuan Hua, who have propagated Chan in the west where it has grown steadily through the 20th and 21st century.

	Development of Chan in China
		The character pronounced "Chan" in Chinese ("Zen" in Japanese) was originally a transliteration of the Sanskrit term "dyana" meaning meditation.
		Chan is a school that does not "believe in" meditation, yet emphasizes and practices meditation.
		Chan Buddhism can be viewed as pushing the implicit logic of Buddhism to reject the original goal of Buddhism--the quest for Nirvana.

	Chan history from 700 to 850
		In Jiangxi and Hunan, where the Southern school or "chan of the patriarchs" was fully established, there must have been a few thousand serious chan monks studying at a variety of temples and monasteries located in the remote rural regions and led by a few dozen celebrated masters.
		The chan monastery itself was divided into separate buildings—a Dharma hall for lectures and possibly for housing sutra texts, a Buddha hall for ceremonies, and a monks' hall for meditation, where the monks also ate and slept and sometimes heard lectures.
		For the chan movement, these resulted in the gradual establishment of the Five Houses and the creation of new forms of chan literature during the following Song period, of which the translations included in the present work may also be seen as representative.

		Chan’s mission field -— the 1 million-plus Chinese who live in California -— is ripe with the harvest but laborers like Chan are few.
		However, the emphasis, Chan said, is to establish and maintain one Chinese Baptist church under the same roof, not emphasizing one language or culture over another.

	Teachings of the chan schools
		Insisting on silent meditation as the most direct means of realizing the Buddha's experience of enlightenment, all chan schools in China rejected a formal and systematic study of Buddhist philosophy, derived from the scholastic traditions of India and cultivated especially at the principal Buddhist university-monastery of Nalanda.
		It is a key teaching in the Lankavatara sutra, which was very influential in the chan movement in the early 8th century, and it achieves especial prominence in the story of the recognition of the Sixth Patriarch's enlightenment, by his master, Hongren.
		Tathagata-garbha is also the basis for "the mind is Buddha" teaching of the Southern chan schools in the 8th century, referred to repeatedly by Shitou and Mazu.

	Huineng (Hui-neng) [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Chan, like other Chinese religious/philosophical traditions, is organized as a system of lineages in which teachings are passed down from Master (Patriarch) to disciple, much as family heritage passes down from father to son.
		There is some basis for such views, and in Chan history we do find examples where this seems to have been encouraged, as, for example, in the case of the Baotang school of Chan that developed in Sichuan during eighth century.
		From a Chan perspective, this mode of understanding is the result of a highly artificial process that cuts one off from full participation in one’s immediate context and inevitably leads to suffering.

	Faure. Chan/Zen Studies
		The lion's share was nevertheless given to Chan, with essays on Chan and Pure Land (Chappell), on the "One-Practice samâdhi" (Faure), on the "secret" of Chan meditation (Bielefeldt), and on the kôan technique in Korean Son (Buswell).
		In this well-documented study, McRae attempted to rehabilitate Northern Chan, which was accused by Shenhui of representing a form of gradualism and merely a collateral lineage of Chan, thus inferior to the direct lineage of the Southern School, represented by Shenhui and his master Huineng.
		Thus, although her approach cannot be characterized as feminist, Miriam Levering focusses on the role of women in the Chan tradition, and in particular in the school of Dahui Zonggao.

		In actual fact, the Chan sudden method of directly pointing to the human mind is a kind of liberative technique cultivating from the stage of the "effect," i.e., Enlightenment.
		Chan view is the Prajna-wisdom representing the Madhyamika view, but its method of practice is the practice of Enlightenment.
		What Chan masters use to transform this demon into the "True Man of No Fixed Position" is that direct pointing to the human mind, the method of cultivating what is known as the Inherent State.

		Southern Outpost hasn’t neglected its foundation in Sydney, even if the electro scene is small and definitely not a money-making venture.

	About ZBOHY
		Buddhism's mystical path is Chan (Zen), and it is in the context of an ancient tradition that has been passed from generation to generation in a well established lineage that ZBOHY seeks to offer spiritual guidance to interested persons.
		The Chan path is difficult because it requires that we change ourselves: the way we think, the way we act toward ourselves and others, the way we feel about things.
		His passion, bringing Chan to the forefront of consciousness in China, led him to the restoration of numerous monasteries and temples that had fallen into extensive disrepair, many abandoned due to aging and lack of interest.

	Zongmi Summary
		Unlike some of his more radical and cryptic Chan contemporaries, he was a meticulous scholar who wrote extensive critical analyses of the various Chan and scholastic sects of the period, as well as numerous scriptural exegeses.
		Zongmi, like many later Korean monks on whom he extended his influence, was deeply interested in both the practical and doctrinal aspects of Buddhism, and especially concerned about the means of harmonizing the views of those that tended toward exclusivity in either direction.
		He was deeply affected by Huayan thought and is famous for his work in the area of doctrinal classification: the attempt to account for the apparent disparities in the Buddhist doctrines by categorizing them according to their specific aims.

	E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum > China's three traditions
		Empress Wu was more "pivotal" than "important." During her reign, the Northern Ch'an teachings fell into disrepute and the Southern Ch'an teachings came to be embraced as a sort of "reform" movement.
		It is important to note that much of the decline of the Northern Ch'an during the Empress Wu's reign had to do with the corruption of dharma by the clerical hierarchy rather than flaws in the basics of dharma within the Northern Ch'an.
		In strictly Ch'an terms it becomes important to remember that Hongren transmitted Huineng (a Southern School Master) as Dharma Heir and then told him to escape to the South because of the political turmoil the transmission was likely to cause.

		Owing, perhaps, to the propaganda about the southerners' backward and barbaric natures, nobody in the north seems to have thought that southern lands were worth invading.
		Southerners had not been bred to survive their environment but to accommodate it.
		In order for Chan to become the sleek "salvation" vessel that it eventually proved to be, it had to jettison a thousand years of confused literature.

		Prepare your mind more fully and when you are ready, submit another gatha." It is a Chan commonplace that Shenxiu's verse stressed methodical practice and was perfectly logical—just the opposite of the sudden, antilogical leap of intuition that is true enlightenment.
		He was saying that to see the mind as a "thing" to be kept pure by constantly "sweeping away" defilements is to miss the underlying truth that mind is in itself buddha, and is therefore inherently undefiled.
		The master, recognizing that this was the work of someone who truly understood the essence of mind, erased it lest it put Huineng in danger from the wrath of monks jealously loyal to Shenxiu.
