In this article, I have examined a Korean text An Account of the Coming East of Huineng's Dingxiang written by a Korean monk Kakhun (覚訓). It tells the story that a Silla monk Kim Deabi (金大悲) tried to cut the head off the corpse of Huineng, an episode mentioned in the Jingde Chuandenglu (1004). However, this document is based on two materials: the Sanggaesa jingamsonsa daegong tappi _双渓寺真鑑禅師大空塔碑 and the Samguk yusa 三国遺事. Two problems are focused on here. First, a ‘Dingxiang’ portrait of a Chan master is equivalent to a ‘head’; second, the creation of the monk Kim Deabi 金大悲 just originated from a sentence that “there is a statue of Taebi 大悲 in Paengnyul (栢栗) Temple”.
