Abstract
The paper summarizes some previous research on the Chan Buddhist
materials recovered from Khara-Khoto. The focus of the present research is
on a text known as Notes on the Teachings of Hongzhou Masters and its
commentary, both texts available only in Tangut translation. The paper
maintains the idea that the text demonstrates continued influence of
Zongmi thought on Chan Buddhism, which is seen in continuous usage of
Huayan interpretation paradigm for the analysis of the teaching of Mazu
Daoyi. The version of Mazu teaching presented in the Tangut texts appears
to be peculiar to Xixia and is not attested in other sources available to me.
Key words: Tangut Chan Buddhism, Hongzhou Chan, Mazu Daoyi, Huayan Chan Buddhism, Liao Buddhism
