Essential Dharma of Mind Transmission: by Zen Teacher Duanji of Huangbo Mountain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781099522673)

This book contains a fairly literal translation of the sayings made by late Tang Dynasty zen teacher Huangbo Xiyun on the timeless and limitless nature of one-mind.

"The Buddhas and all sentient beings are only of one-mind; there is no other dharma. This mind, since beginningless time, has never been born and never been annihilated. It is not green and not yellow, has no form and no characteristic, doesn't belong to existence or non-existence. It cannot be considered new or old, is neither long nor short, is neither big nor small."

And so begins the very first sermon on this one-mind which transcends all conceptual understanding and intellectual inference.
