Question

Common additions to this text depict the protagonist tying a rock to himself during the eight months he spends in a rice threshing room and coining the concept of “original face” during a mountaintop encounter with a rival. The translator of the Dunhuang version of this text, Philip Yampolsky, argued it was written to defend the “sudden doctrine” against the Oxhead and Northern Schools. The Jogye (“joke-yeh”) Order descends from this text’s illiterate “barbarian” (15[1])narrator, who has a monk write the couplet (15[1])(*) “Buddha nature is always clean and pure / Where is there room (-5[1])for dust?” (10[2])on a wall, thus reversing his rival’s comparison of the mind to a mirror. In this (10[1])unusually autobiographical sutra, (10[1])Huineng (“hway-nung”) relates how he won (10[1])a poetry contest to become the (-5[1])Sixth Patriarch. For 10 points, name this Chan Buddhist sutra that centers on a sermon delivered from the title podium. ■END■ (10[4]0[6])
