Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Xuefeng（雪峰） school in Tang Dynasty Fujian split into two, the lineage of Xuefeng and the lineage of Xuansha（玄沙）. This was caused by some differences in thought. Monks of Xuansha-Fayan（法眼）’s lineage aimed to realize the Buddha Nature which transcends the individual level and prevails in the world. It can be said that this is one conclusion of Chan Buddism thought in Tang Dynasty. In order to protect Buddhism from the anti-Buddhist rhetoric, in Fujiaobian（《輔教編》）, Qisong（契嵩）, who was a Chan monk in Northern Song Dynasty, claimed that Buddhism could contribute to the maintenance of social order. In his theory, the concept of “retribution”（因果報應）was emphasized as a means of maintaining social order. He also put an emphasis on practicality as Buddhist superiority over other doctrines. This can be considered a forerunner of criticism of Chan which stressed the idea of doing nothing（無事禪）.
