    Huineng

    (Wisdom's Ability)


    This is the name that the famous
    6th Chinese Ancestor of Zen
    Dajian Huineng is usually
    identified as.

    The first character "Hui" is very
    common in Zen names--it means
    "wisdom", but not the wisdom of
    knowledge and learning--a more
    universal wisdom of the "whole".
