The Zen Teaching of  Huang Po

ON THE TRANSMISSION OF MIND

Beeing the teaching of the Zen Master

Huang Po as recorded by the scholar

P’ei Hsiu of the T’ang dynasty

PUBLISHER’S NOTES

Zen has already earned for itself a special place of affection among the rapidly growing numbers of people who are finding so much of vital interest in the entire field or Buddhist thought and practice. Thus a complete translation of this short ninth-century Chinese Zen classic is particularly welcome.

The work is logically divided into two parts, the first containing the record of a series of discourses between P’ei Hsiu, a Chinese government official and schoolar, and His Yun,  a master who founded the third sect of Zen Buddhism known as the Huang Po sect. this section is followed by over fifty brief, trenchant dialogues on different intellectual levels between His Yun and numerous inquirer.

The dilight of this book lies in its freedom from Buddhist technical terms. His Yun turned to everyday life to illustrate his arguments, and his thought is remarkable free from the intricacies of religious speculation; while John Blofeld’s own understanding of Zen ensures that his translation, introduction and explanatory notes are outstanding for their clarity and precision.
