This study proposed to find connective meanings between Yogacara and Chan ( Seon, Zen) from the teachings of the antecedent Buddhist masters, the literatures. To achieve this, the study investigated the core descriptions and meanings in common bridging of the two approaches from the literatures. Therefore, based on the Buddhist patriarchs' discourses, the patriarchs encourage us to encompass the two different views in our Buddhist practices in the way of realizing the Buddhahood. The two approaches are shown to have two different characteristics in terms of awakening progress and the length of time required to realize enlightenment. Yogacara uses descriptive and doctrinal teaching and considers attaining Buddhahood a gradual experience. On the other hand, Chan directly points us to our human heart with no written words. It aims for sudden awakening , especially in the KanwhaSeon. However, the end goal of the two approaches is the same, the attainment of Buddhahood. This end result which is the attainment of Buddhahood suggests that our Buddhist practice system needs to sincerely consider what realistic ways are needed to assist people in different spiritual experiences and ones in agony in the contemporary society. Not by emphasizing on the enlightenment through a specific practice method for all people but by tailored practice methods based on each one's faculties in understanding Buddhism.
