The goals of a Buddhist Dharma practitioner are to overcome worldly illusions and vain hopes, and to convert and cleanse the original mind. These are similar to the core ideas of Habitual Domain theory, which thus becomes the major theory employed in the present study of Master Hsu Yun. Master Hsu was the most fabled of the great monks who attained enlightenment after the establishment of the Republic of China. He practiced the teachings of the five Zen sects: Cao Dong, Linji, Yun Men, Fa Yen, and Wei Yang. His practice of Dharma shows that he places equal weight on theory and practice and combines the rituals of both the Zen and the Pure Land schools of Buddhism. He also emphasizes following precepts and rules. The great Habitual Domain displayed throughout Hsu Yun's life illustrates the general status and vision of a masterful bodhisattva practitioner. Master Hsu was resolute and lived an ascetic life. He tested and explored his mind through experiences of the secular world. He ignored distinctions and privileges in his approach to the world, going beyond bitterness and joy as well as the artificial separation of the enlightened and the mundane, in his perception of reality. He remained in a state of meditation in all acts of his daily life, demonstrating the highest realm of Dharma practice (i.e., the state of a carefree mind), and arguing that the mundane world was a meditation hall to deliver and save the people, and worldly worries were the seeds for Bodhi enlightenment. Master Hsu Yun's Actual Domain is the expansive realm of a human being's Potential Domain, which completely transcends the vision and acts of the worldly, showing the great Habitual Domain of a bodhisattva.
