The Platform Sutra is perhaps the most famous teaching from the Sixth Patriach, Hui Neng (638-713). The Platform Sutra is also known as the Sutra of Wei Lang, from the first translation into English published in 1930 by Mr. Wong Mou-lam. This is the only writing from a Zen master to have been given the status of "Sutra", a term otherwise reserved for teachings from the Buddha as recounted by Ananda.
