Description
The Zen Teaching of Huang-Po On the Transmission of Mind This collection of sermons, dialogues, and anecdotes offers a unique insight into the teachings of Huang Po, a renowned Chinese master of the Tang Dynasty. Translated into English, it provides a rare opportunity for Western readers to engage with the original source of Zen philosophy. Huang Po's teachings are characterized by their use of paradox, which he uses to convey the nature of reality and the path to enlightenment. Through his words, he guides his listeners towards truth, often using a single phrase to dispel their ignorance. This translation presents these paradoxes in a clear and simple manner, allowing readers to explore the rich treasures of Eastern thought. By studying Huang Po's teachings, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the principles of Zen and its approach to spiritual growth.
