The Zen Teaching of Huang Po (Part 4) - On The Transmission of Mind - Q&A

Excerpts of Questions and Answers read from the text - The Zen Teaching of Huang Po on the Transmission of Mind - Translated by: John Blofeld.
Huang Po (died 850) was an influential Chinese master of Chan Buddhism. He was born in Fujian, China in the Tang Dynasty. Later he became a monk in Huangbo Shan (lit. Huangbo Mountain). That is how he got his name. Huang Po was a disciple of Baizhang Huaihai and the teacher of Linji (Japanese: Rinzai). Huang Po is one of the most influential of the Chinese Zen masters.

This was one of the first books I ever bought on Zen Buddhism - way back in the early 70s. A great treasury of wisdom, John Blofeld gave the world a fantastic gift when he translated this work. Now, as times move forward, you have increased the audience even further. I thank you for both your compassion and kindness. May you continue to help sentient beings, in all realms, for many, many years to come.

Huang Po! The Ancient man, the primeval Mountain....the sound of windswept peaks, Lightning 🌩 in the dark near the summit, Sun 🌞 breaking through the bamboo in the canyon at midday! Lonely incense, burning till it collapses in a hut.....His shadow over us to this day, as vast as the night that carries the Moon itself! 🌙 Gassho to you!

The first 5 minutes is a masterclass in the Devine paradox. We left go of the cliff edge and discover the weightlessness of true being. Which is not diffent from this. Just this. 🌟

To be more precise: what are circumstance? And how do they arise?

[@norbertkulig6144]

In response to circumstance... How?
