摘要

The purpose of this paper is to explore three main rhetorical devices employed by the The Sutra of Hui Neng in terms of metaphor,pun,and parody.The Sutra of Hui Neng records the zen thoughts rather than the language.In the process of explaining the sutra,Hui Neng applied rhetorical devices in a flexible way to make the disciples fully comprehend the zen thoughts,so that Buddhist sutra can be vividly and fully expressed through language.
