Research Abstract

In the process when early Zen Buddhism was formed, I was able to compile the prospects about the importance that Mahayana-Sila (大乗戒) had on thought.
For a study of the explanatory note of concrete documents, I was able to gather up the Japanese reading of the "Nansyuu-Teizehi-Ron (南宗定是非論)" of Shen-Hui (神会) society and the last completion manuscript of the explanatory note work.
The manuscript was almost completed, but the input was confined to the state that did not yet conclude for the database. As basic work of one elucidating significance of Mahayana-Sila (大乗戒) in the Zen Buddhism, I am going to announce it sequentially
