The Zen Teaching of Huang Po (Part 1) - On The Transmission of Mind

Excerpts read from the text - The Zen Teaching of Huang Po on the Transmission of Mind
Translated by John Blofeld.

Huang-po (Huangbo Xiyun) was an influential Chinese Zen Master, and the teacher of Lin-chi (Rinzai) during the Tang Dynasty. Huángbò was a disciple of Baizhang Huaihai (720-840) There is not much information about the life of Huang Po. However he taught in the tradition of Zen Buddhism. Huang Po taught that enlightenment could be achieved by a silent mind and putting an end to conceptual thinking. This is a similar teaching to other Zen Masters such as Bodhidharma and Dogen. Huang Po is one of the most influential of the Chinese Zen masters.
