"Yuan Jue" Sutre made a profound influence on Chinese scholars and Zen since it was advertised by Zong Mi , a master of Middle Tang Dynasty. It always is the important ancient book which people practice Buddhist rules. It shows the way of pious life and directly reveals heart of the complete consciousness. It is the words of wonderful principle that Buddha says in a magical powers and a greatly bright secret time. Also is the words of good method said from Wen Shu, Pu Xian and so on 12 Bodhisattvas. We can call it the king of Dharma in Sutre . The important methods and symbols of "Yuan Jue" Sutre are like “Purely clean Mani jewel”, “Greatly bright scriptures”, “Imaginary nebula and flowers in the sky ”, “ imaginary secret” ... and so on，there are rich influence on the images in Su Shih 's Poetry and prose. I expect to take advantage of this research and reorganize the images of Buddhist literature with the process of studying Su Shih 's Poetry and show the context of Zen in Su Shih 's Poetry. It’s also my purpose to make sure of the influences of "Yuan Jue" Sutre in the poetry of Tang and Northern Song Dynasty. Finally, I hope to achieve the bidirectional observation of poetry history and the Buddhism history.
