Furthermore, the author exams to what extent could practitioners accomplish the rewards of the various stages of attainment. As a Mahayana Buddhist practical method, Fa-hua-san-mei ch’an-i could promote oneself and convert his humanist disposition. Through this study on Fa-hua-san-mei ch’an-i, we can rethink the significances of Buddhist rituals on the process of freeing and liberating oneself from the mortal life.
