description: These are not just commentaries on the teachings of anancient Zen master. Here is an alive, contemporary Zen master at work --and as the meaning of Sosan's teachings are unraveled, so are the habitualpatterns and prejudices of the reader's mind. Furthermore, Osho's work isso subtle and delicate, the surgery is performed almost before you know it.As you turn the last page, you may suddenly realize that you'll never againbe quite so captivated by your own inner chatter -- and without any effortyou've taken the first, vital step towards meditation.Review from sannyas dot org:"If I were to save only two books from the whole world of the mystics, one would be Sosan's Hsin Hsin Ming," Osho says. "It contains the quintessence of Zen, the path of awareness and meditation...the very soul of Zen." Himself a master of both words and silence, Osho builds a bridge between the modern, chattering mind and the infinite no-mind of Sosan through these Zen sutras - the only words uttered by Sosan, the 6th-century Chinese mystic and third Chinese patriarch.SubjectZen and Zen MastersTranslated fromNotesOriginal book title "Neither This Nor That".Time Period of Osho's original Discourses/Talks/Lettersfrom Oct 21, 1974 to Oct 30, 1974Number of Discourses/Chapters10
