佛法總府

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: to contain the entire Buddha Dharma

Senses:

  • A school that equally values all of the Buddhist sutras 經 and śāstras 論 without preference for one particular text. A term used to describe Chan/Seon/Zen based on the assumption that because all of the Buddhaʼs teachings ultimately derive from his experience of meditation 禪, Chan/Seon/Zen encompasses all of those teachings. 〔興禪護國論 T 2543.80.5c5〕 [Stefan Grace; source(s): Yokoi, ZGDJT]
