Yamada worked as the project leader and coordinated the whole project. He specifically examined the relationship between the change of the Taoism view of "Ksetra 国土"from Six dynasties 六朝 to Tang dynasty 唐代 and Theory of Hunan Nature 心性思想 in Taoism. Yamada also examined the exchange of ideas between Taoism and Buddhism (Zen-Buddhism 禅宗) following the concept of "Nei-jiao 内教". Referring to Du Guang-tingt±杜光庭,,Yamda looked at Hunan Nature in Taoism from the end of Tang dynasty to Five dynasties 五代 in conjunction with Confucianism and Zen-Buddhism. In the report, he dealt with Hunan Nature in Bei-Song dynasty 北宗 Taoism in regard to the historical change from the end of Tang dynasty to Five dynasties, and, as a whole, investigated the change in Hunan Nature from Six dynasties to Song dynasty.

Funayama did research on "abandoning the body 捨身行" which started in the period of Six dynasties and flourished in the era of Tang and Song dynasties. Funayama also looked into the background of "abandoning the body" including the relationship between ideas and "dharma 戒律" and investigated Buddha's " stage of Praxis 階" in connection with enlightenment 悟. In the report, Funayama focused on "dharma" and examined the overview of the history of Chinese Buddhist "dharma" which is closely related to Theory of Hunan Nature.
Sakauchi, first, conducted a basic examination of the prologue of Xuan-zhu Xin-ji which was the commentary made by Wang Sun-zhi 王損之 in Tang Dynasty, then, in the report, using " Xuan-zhu Xin-ji Zhu 玄珠心鏡註", Sakauchi specifically talked about the relationship between Theory of Hunan Nature in Tang Dynasty Taoism and Buddhist ideas, especially the ideas from Zen-Buddhism.
