The Kasaya and mantle are important symbols of Buddhist teachings.The first ancestor of Zen Buddhism,Dhamma,who came to a foreign culture to spread the Dharma,had to use the Kasaya and mantle as symbols of the authentic Dharma lineage in order to have a"embodiment of faith",in other words,"in-phase",for the transmission of Zen Buddhism.The"external appearance"of the Kasaya and mantle was used as a symbol of the authentic lineage of Dharma.But once the symbol is linked to power or fame,even Buddhists will have disputes and kill each other.Therefore,after Hui Neng received the mantle of the True Transmission,he abandoned it several times as the"embodiment of faith"of the Dharma lineage,the Kasaya of the Dharma that everyone was after.He tried to abandon the obstacle of the lost mind that hindered"enlightenment"through the abstraction of"external appearances"("detachment from appearances",in other words,"out-of-phase"),and to"transmit the mind with the mind"without taking on external objects.He attempts to realize the way of"no-phase"——the truth about the meaning of life,the laws of society,and the world.
