Originalmente concebido en India, las enseñanzas del Buddha Sakyamuni fueron diseñadas para funcionar para todas las personas de todos los tiempos y culturas del mundo.

The compassion of Buddhist Dhamma (法, fǎ) had expanded all around the world. Originally developed in India, the teachings of the Sakyamuni Buddha were designed to function for all the people of all times and cultures of the world. The intention of this thesis is to investigate the application and implications of these teachings for the development of a beneficial secular life, with no restrictions of geographical, time or cultural boundaries. Based on a structural and conceptual framework provided by the Sigalovada Sutra as the main source of lay advices gave by the Buddha, and the revolutionary ideas of Huineng found on the Platform Sutra, the author exposes the main ideas of Chan practice for lay life.
