Download One Essence: The Nondual Clarity of an Ancient Zen Poem AudioBook Free
One Substance is a modern commentary on the nondual teachings of any classical Zen text. It is also a collection of Zen intelligence and poetry, comprising the 67 stanzas of the Hsin Hsin Ming (with multiple alternative translations), plus many other succinct spiritual verses from ancient and modern-day Zen sources. The concise, powerful verses of the Hsin Hsin Ming have been translated repeatedly over the age range, and been the subject of many commentaries in the attempt to understand its straightforwardness and subtlety. Here, Robert Wolfe, the author of Living Nonduality: Enlightenment Teachings of Self-Realization, offers a modern, nondual look at this ancient Zen-Taoist poem. All thirty of its quatrains are given plus a modern-day nondual interpretation as well as options from other Zen and Taoist educating poems. Also included is a short tale by Robert Wolfe, "In Loss of life such as Life," envisioning the previous times of the Buddha and his nondual teachings.
