Platform Sūtra: the Huixin version (967)
六祖壇經 (recensión de Huixin 惠昕, 967; impresiones japonesas de Kōshōji y Daijōji)
An intermediate version that already contains the line “from the beginning there is not a single thing” and expands the autobiography. It shows how the text grew between the Dunhuang copy and Zongbao's canonical edition.
No edition of this work is currently on sale in a store we have been able to verify.
Authorship note
A reorganisation of the text by the monk Huixin into two fascicles and eleven sections; lost in China, it survived in Japan in prints derived from a Song edition.
