Sayings of Old Cheng On the Nature of Original Mind

Taking the form of a diatribe from a grumpy Zen master upset with the slow progress of his pupils, this translation of a seminal Buddhist text examines the misconceptions that surround Buddhism. Humor is used to cut through unexamined beliefs and misplaced faith as the old master Ch'eng scorns his young students' impatience and mistakes. Drawing on Chinese Taoist and Tibetan Buddhist traditions, these teachings profess and entertain by playfully undermining Buddhist cliches and pointing toward a simpler way of life.Dickman, Mike is the author of 'Sayings of Old Cheng On the Nature of Original Mind' with ISBN 9781887276221 and ISBN 188727622X.
