The document provides a biography of Huìkě, the second patriarch of Chan Buddhism. It describes how he was born in China and showed early promise in his studies. He left home to become a Buddhist monk and studied various scriptures on his own. He later traveled to meet Bodhidharma and served him for many years, during which time Bodhidharma recognized Huìkě's understanding and named him his successor. Huìkě then taught Chan Buddhism for over 30 years, emphasizing meditation and cultivating the mind.
