Zhi 知 and Ideas of Practice According to Zongmi

Abstract

This paper discusses Zongmi’s concept of zhi 知 and his ideas of practice. Therefore, I point out the significance of Zongmi’s separation of zhi 知 and zhi 智 by grasping the relationship between zhi 知 as the content of sudden enlightenment and zhi 智 as the result of gradual training.
