惠能,慧能
"The Sixth Patriarch of Chan/Zen Buddhism in China. His words are preserved in a work called the Platform Sutra."
"Known in Japan as Eno and in Vietnam as Hue-Nang, he was the sixth and last patriarch of Ch'an Buddhism in China (the first being Bodhidharma). As leader of the Southern branch of Ch'an school, he taught the doctrine of Spontaneous Realization or Sudden Enlightenment, through meditation in which thought, objectivity and all attachment are eliminated. He was the protagonist (central figure) of the only sacred Chinese Buddhist writing which has been honoured with the title Ching or Sutra, the famous Platform Sutra of Hui Neng."
Hui-Neng / Vegetarianism
In the Platform Sutra, the Chinese patriarch Hui Neng relates that after inheriting the Dharma from the Fifth Patriarch, he spent years in seclusion with a group of hunters. At mealtimes, 'he tells us, 'they cooked meat in the same pot with the vegetables. If I was asked to share, I replied, 'I will just pick the vegetables out of the meat. Was he, then, attached to vegetarianism? And if refraining from eating flesh foods is itself an 'attachment,' does it follow that refusing to give up flesh foods shows non-attachment?
NOTE:
"(Hui-Neng) was the key figure in determining the main historical development of Chan/Zen in East Asia."
