Manura, patriarch of Master Kosen 's zen buddhism lineage

Manura

The twenty-second patriarch was the Venerable Manorhita. He asked Vasubandhu, "What is the bodhi of all the Buddhas?" The Venerable said, "It is the original nature of Mind." The Master again asked, "What is the original nature of Mind?" The Venerable said, "It is the emptiness of the six sense bases, the six objects, and the six kinds of consciousness." Hearing this, the master was awakened. The twenty-third patriarch was the Venerable Haklenayasas. Once, the Venerable Manorhita said, "I have the unexcelled great Dharma treasure. You must hear it, accept it, and teach it in the future:' Hearing this, the master experienced awakening.
