Nan Huineng received the mantle of the fifth ancestor Hongren, inherited the Dongshan lineage, and promoted the Dunjiao method. At Faxing Temple in Guangzhou, he discussed the Feng Banner language with Master Yin Zong and taught him the supreme way, which directly pointed to the human heart and became a Buddha by seeing one's nature.

The Fifth Patriarch Hongren, in order to make the Dongshan Dharma lineage unique in the world, all the Zen Dharma from the north and south were returned to Huangmei. Huineng from Nanling had only been in Dongshan for more than eight months. After the Fifth Patriarch Hongren taught the Dharma, he passed on the cassock as a token to let the world know that he was the authentic successor of the Dongshan Dharma lineage, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism.

Senior Brother Shenxiu is different. With his decades of following the Fifth Patriarch Hongren in Dongshan and his long-term practice in Zen, Master Shenxiu can definitely establish a sect and become his own family even without the support of the Fifth Patriarch Hongren.

The Sixth Patriarch Huineng and the Venerable Shenxiu just looked at meditation from different angles, and there was no distinction between them. The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng once taught: There is no sudden and gradual progress in the Dharma, and people have dull abilities. If they are confused, they will gradually understand it, and when they understand it, they will practice it suddenly.

Empress Wu Zetian was not invited, and Shenxiu personally wrote a letter to invite him. Huineng said to the envoy: "I have a short appearance. If the people in the north see it, they may not respect my method." There is no better person than Shenxiu who knows Huineng. The person who knows the beauty of God is none other than Huineng.
