The study of Chan Buddhism should not only focus on its scriptures and eminent monks, but also pay due attention to the development of the Chan Buddhist folk world. The discovery of the Confidential Instructions on the Transmission of Precepts in the Linjizhengzong 臨濟正宗傳教密語, a Qing dynasty Chan transmission ritual text found in the Dali area of Yunnan province, sheds light on the spread of Chan Buddhism in the folk society of the southwestern ethnic frontier areas during the Qing dynasty. This ritual text reveals that Chan Buddhism continuously absorbed Taoist elements in order to localize its teachings and gain wider acceptance among the people. This is not contrary to Chan Buddhism's fundamental purpose of “understanding one's mind and seeing one's nature 明心見性,” and may rather be a deliberate “Taoicization” strategy adopted by Chan Buddhism to facilitate its development in Qing civil society. |
