From the sentence “One should abide nowhere to arouse his/her mind”in The Diamond Sutra, Hui-neng was enlightened upon first hearing, and fully enlightened to realize that all dharmas are not apart from the self-nature. The meanings of self-nature such as “originally pure”, “originally no-arising and no-disappearing”, “originally encompassing”, “originally no-moving”, “being able to arouse all dharmas” and so on substantially established the Ch’an School of Chinese Buddhism, exerted influence on East Asian Buddhism, and deepened world culture. The creativity embedded in The Sixth Patriarch’s Platform Sutra” centers on two axes of prajna wisdom and bodhi self-nature, pushing Buddhism to its zenith. Creativity is really the key to success and the most wanted by humanity.
