As the first person of Chinese zen, hui ke, the second ancestor, first followed by bodhi damo of India, and then from sengcan, the third ancestor, established the unique zen belief model of Chinese Buddhism. In the history of zen in China, there were two stages of common people or grassroots Buddhism, the first of which was the second ancestor, which influenced the later generations of dongshan Buddhism. Huike's wisdom is unrepeatable and is the only source of zen. From grassroots Buddhism to altar worship, Huike should represent the status of Buddhism in the country. The academic research on the second ancestor and the culture of the second ancestor also need to increase investment, promote the interaction between the two temples in the north and the south, and promote the culture of the second ancestor to the world.
