Huangbo Xiyun (?-855) was a prominent Chan monk during the Tang dynasty. Although Xiyun did not actually say that "The Mind itself' is the Buddha" and that "The Non-intentional (無心) is the Dao,"these statements became catchphrases for his conception of Chan Buddhism. This paper will examine these two statements in order to disclose some aspects of Chan Buddhism during the Tang dynasty.Five topics will be discussed. The first concems the doctrinal background of the statement that "The Mind itself is the Buddha."The second topic is how one recognizes that the Mind is originally pure in seeing mental activities during meditation. The third topic is Xiyun's argument that the noumenally pure Mind is the substratum for ordinary cognition. The fourth topic is Xiyun's simile that the Mind in its ontic state is equivalent to nature in its primordial state. The last topic traces the two catchphrases for Xiyun's Chan thought back to the two Indian doctrines of Tath~gatagharba and Sfinyata. This paper suggests that these five topics can be the bases for more research into Chan Buddhism during the Tang dynasty.
