Hsin-Hsin Ming: Verses on the Faith-Mind Paperback – Illustrated, 19 April 2001

If you only ever read one book in your life, let it be this one.

What i am not The Mind is controlling what i am not The Body. So, everything is happening spontaneously. You need not do anything to get liberated. Since, time does not exist, there wont be any time coming in which you will get liberated. Yes, you are already liberated. So, whatever is happening through your body and mind, let it happen. You are free. There is no bondage. Suffering does not exists. It is your ego, so called mind, which cannot exist without duality, which in turn is cause of all illusive sufferings. There is cannot be any suffering in present moment. The answer of "who am i" is "i am". No truth is required to be known beyond this ultimate truth. End of all questions. I am although manifested, is one with unmanifested. When your consciousness is directed outward, mind and world arise. When it is directed inward, it realizes its own Source and return home into Unmanifested. Every experience is some form of astral travel. Sleep, coma, deep sleep, death, lucid dreaming, drugs are all pleasurable states which gives experience of astral travel. I am none of these states.नान्तःप्रज्ञं न बहिष्प्रज्ञं नोभयतःप्रज्ञं न प्रज्ञानघनं न प्रज्ञं नाप्रज्ञम् ।अदृष्टमव्यवहार्यमग्राह्यमलक्षणं अचिन्त्यमव्यपदेश्यमेकात्मप्रत्ययसारं प्रपञ्चोपशमं शान्तं शिवमद्वैतं चतुर्थं मन्यन्ते स आत्मा स विज्ञेयः ॥

I liked the book very much.. Is deep and requires multiple readings to Develop deep understanding of Life and Energy.. Buy it of you are interesting in such works. 👍

Most wonderful book ever ....

Book is an absolute GEM but the one star is because the Kindle version is horrible. Words begin at the end of the page which makes it impossible to read.

I first came across this little gem of a book in 2001, and I return to it often. It's a lovely translation, and for the serious practitioner, a useful pointer to the essence of Zen as a living practice. I have purchased several copies over the years to share with friends on the path. I hope you find it useful as well. Peace.

This is a simple pointer of how to practice Chan.Unfortunately, the creators of the Kindle version did not check it on an iPhone or perhaps any smartphone. If you read this with the phone in portrait mode, the first letter and a half of the first word is chopped off. I have changed settings, but nothing fixes that problem.However, if you put the phone in landscape mode, it works fine. But that is very inconvenient and less of the text is available at one glance.Nonetheless, this is awesome book written by the Third Patriarch. It was written when Zen was simple and straightforward. When you find your practice is become work, read this poem.

oui c'est une tentative de traduction d'un authentique maître.....mais un prix si élevé pour 12 pages.... ave des photos !

For everyone looking for other, this book brings you back home to all.A gem to all who read these few words of enlightenment, enjoy and savour.Relax you are here where all is. Be well, be happy in your skin.

It's a short complement to the Tao Te Ching but a fundamental oneLoved the quick readRecommend it to all
