| FrontText | Chan Buddhism |
| FrontAudio | |
| BackText | Spread by the Silk Roads from India into China. A form of Mahayana Buddhism. Blended with Daoism, formed 'Chan Buddhism' (aka Zen Buddhism in Japan and Son Buddhism in Korea). Instead of more traditional forms of Buddhism, which emphasized the importance of the sutras (religious scriptures), they blended with Daoist concepts that the Dao (the Way) is felt everywhere, therefore they argue that Buddha-nature can be found in everyday life.Direct Experience:Chan Buddhism prioritizes direct realization of one's Buddha-nature through practice rather than relying solely on scriptures or intellectual understanding.Buddha-nature:The belief that all beings possess an inherent potential for enlightenment and wisdom.Koans:Paradoxical questions or statements are used to challenge rational thought and trigger insight."If you meet the Buddha, kill him." - Koan statement |
