This thesis analyzes mainly three topics: the wisdom, metaphysics and epistemology of Hui-neng in The Platform Sutra and it is divided up into sections with each section being analyzed separately. The goal of this thesis is to shine philosophical light on the meaning of Hui-neng's work, The Platform Sutra by clearly analyzing the importance of Hui-neng's wisdom, metaphysics and epistemology in each section that I cover. For example, in Section 24, I will define the Maha Prajnaparamita and tell the reader why it is an important concept relating to wisdom, metaphysics and epistemology. And the purpose of it is to give the reader an understanding of the importance of Hui-neng's Platform Sutra regarding his wisdom, metaphysics and epistemology. Concepts being analyzed include prajna, the Maha Prajnaparamita, the nature of prajna, the dharmas, thought, meditation, one practice samadhi, etc.... Each section included in this thesis will focus on Hui-neng's wisdom, metaphysics and epistemology. Moreover, each section analyzed explains the importance of that section regarding the meaning, metaphysics and epistemology of that section. The final purpose of the thesis will be to actually motivate the reader not only to think of the importance of Hui-neng's teaching regarding wisdom, metaphysics and epistemology but to actually put his teachings into practice so that the reader will understand and see into his own nature, which is the whole point of why Hui-neng expounded the Platform Sutra in the first place.
