The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch (Chinese: 六祖壇經, fully 南宗頓教最上大乘摩訶般若波羅蜜經六祖惠能大師於韶州大梵寺施法壇經), is a Buddhist scripture that was composed in China. It is one of the seminal texts in the Chan/Zen schools. It is centered on discourses given at Shao Zhou temple attributed to the sixth Chan patriarch, Huineng. Some modern scholars[who?] seriously doubt the historicity of the claim that someone named Huineng wrote the text, but this does nothing to diminish the fact of its widespread influence.[citation needed] The key topics of the discourse are sudden enlightenment, the direct perception of ones true nature, and the unity in essence of śu299 la, dhyāa and prajñā The Southern Chan or "Sudden Enlightenment" school of Chan Buddhism based its doctrine on this extremely influential scripture.

《六祖壇經》，佛教禪宗典籍。亦稱《壇經》、《六祖大師法寶壇經》，全稱《南宗頓教最上大乘摩訶般若波羅蜜經六祖惠能大師于韶州大梵寺施法壇經》。禪宗六祖惠能說，弟子法海集錄。記載惠能一生得法傳法的事跡及啟導門徒的言教，內容豐富，文字通俗，是研究禪宗思想淵源的重要依據。現有明清諸藏本、房山石經本及流通本等。其中心主張是佛性本有、見性成佛，「以定慧為本」，「佛法在世間，不離世間覺」。指出「法即一種，見有遲疾」，「法無頓漸，人有利鈍」。佛性本有思想與《涅槃經》「一切眾生悉有佛性」之說一脈相承。《壇經》認為「東方人造罪念佛求生西方，西方人造罪念佛求生何國？凡愚不了自性，不識身中淨土，願東願西，悟人在處一般」。又說：「心地但無不善，西方去此不遙；若懷不善之心，念佛往生難到。」「若欲修行，在家亦得，不由在寺。在家能行，如東方人心善；在寺不修，如西方人心惡」。
