摘要
This article aims, in general terms, to conduct a qualitative research and express the essence of Truc Lam Zen teaching, which cuts right to the core of the matter and can only be found by oneself, as the best answer itself is “practice”. One of the key points of Vietnamese Zen Buddhism is intuitive understanding. It leads one to break the ice of ignorance and attain Buddhahood naturally. For the fi rst objective, the author would like to go back and take a deep look at the origin and development of Truc Lam Zen school as to understand its past and present. As a result of this study, it was shown that the Truc Lam Zen school has been offering a spiritual way for earnest meditators to reach the higher realm of welfare and revive the golden period of Vietnamese Zen Buddhism for later generations, thus contributing to the Buddhist foundation, making it more universal and thriving.
