Who are the five ancestors of Zen Buddhism? What contributions did they make to Zen Buddhism?

The five ancestors of Zen Buddhism are Bodhidharma Patriarch, the second ancestor Huike, the third ancestor Monk Can, the fourth ancestor Daoxin, and the fifth ancestor Hongren. The Neo-Zen Buddhism they established was a good combination of Confucianism and Confucianism in China, and put forward the idea that "all laws are the same, and the body and Buddha are not the same", which attracted many believers.

The five ancestors of Zen Buddhism are Bodhidharma, Hui Ke, Seng Can, Daoxin and Hongren. They have continuously improved the system and ideological practice of Chinese Zen Buddhism from generation to generation, and have made outstanding contributions to the development of Zen Buddhism.

Zen Buddhism is a Buddhist sect, and it is the most sinicized and innovative sect. The five ancestors of Zen Buddhism are the masters of Hongnin. The second ancestor put forward the idea of "all laws are the same, the body and the Buddha are not two", which had a great influence on Zen Buddhism, the third ancestor advocated a return to nature and a leisurely attitude of life, and the fourth ancestor put forward the idea of "the present is the heart of nature" and "free to be at ease", which has become the basic attitude of Chinese Zen Buddhism.

The basic completer of Zen Buddhism is the Five Patriarchs Hongnin, and the ideological and spiritual practice of Zen Buddhism is basically established.

The Zen Buddhism of Buddhism is said to be the Shakyamuni of Tianzhu, and the Sanskrit is called Sakyamuni, and Sakyamuni was later translated as Bodhidharma after being transmitted to China.

This is the patriarch of Bodhidharma, who came with the traces of Ming.

I can only expand to your attention here.

Zen Buddhism inheritance to Bodhidharma as the first ancestor, Shaolin Temple northwest has the first ancestral nunnery, built in the Song Dynasty, the stone pillar has the inscription of Song Xuanhe seven years (1125 years), the southwest of the temple originally two ancestral nunnery, there are reed and two ancestors Hui Ke statue.

Kuangfu Temple, located in Cheng'an County, North Dinghe, where the two ancestors of Zen Buddhism Hui can say the Dharma, it is said that Mo had been here for the two ancestors.

Located in the northwest of the two Anhui Qianshan 30 miles of the three ancestral mountain, the three ancestors of Zen Buddhism monk can master once preached the scriptures here, the temple has the monk can big acacia and the teacher tower.

Zhenjue Temple, also known as Dongshan Temple, is located on Fengmao Mountain in Erdan, northeast of Huangmei, Hubei. The four ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Daoxin, and the five ancestors Hongren once lived here.

Nanhua Temple, located in the south of Shaoguan, Guangdong, was formerly known as Baolin Temple. The six ancestors of Zen Buddhism can open the Dharma here. There are six ancestors in the temple body, which is dedicated to the six ancestors hall.

The first ancestor of China was Bodhidharma.

Guess you're mistaken! Zen Buddhism is only passed on for six generations, namely the first ancestor Dharma, the second ancestor Hui Ke, the third ancestor Seng Can, the fourth ancestor Daoxin, the fifth ancestor Hongren, and the sixth ancestor Huineng. I'm guessing that you're asking about the Provincial Master, the Thirteen Patriarchs of the Pure Land Sect and a well-known monk.

There are six ancestors of Chinese Zen Buddhism, the first ancestor Bodhidharma, the second ancestor Huike, the third ancestor Seng Can, the fourth ancestor Daoxin, the fifth ancestor Hongren, and the sixth ancestor Huineng. By the time of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, he would no longer pass down the Dharma robe, so there were only six Zen patriarchs.

The senior brother asked if it was the patriarch of Pu'an, there was a Pu'an mantra.

Bodhidharma Zen Master awarded Hui Ke with 4 volumes of the "Ranga Sutra", Hui Ke is the second generation of Zen Buddhism in the East in the future, since then, Zen Buddhism has a lineage of transmission in China.

The cultural origin of Buddhism is in India, and Zen Buddhism is a Buddhist sect with unique Chinese characteristics, its cultural origin is in Songshan, Zen Buddhism did not become a sect in India, its birthplace, but after being introduced into Songshan, it has become the mainstream sect of Buddhism in China. It is precisely because the patriarch Bodhidharma founded a school of Zen Buddhism in Shaolin Temple, so Shaolin Temple was later known as the "Zen Ancestral Garden".

One of the important reasons for the longevity of Zen Buddhism is the simplicity of its teachings and practices. The purpose of Zen Buddhism is: don't teach outside the teaching, don't set up words, point directly to people's hearts, and become a Buddha by seeing nature.

Zen Buddhism was born in China and spread in China, spreading from China to Japan, South Korea, and the rest of the world.

Although Zen Buddhism is also a method taught by Shakyamuni Buddha, this method has really formed a sect since Master Bodhidharma came to China, and the Sixth Patriarch Huineng has carried it forward. From the perspective of China, India, and Nepal, Zen Buddhism is in the East, so it is called "Eastern Zen Buddhism".
