Cultural Writing. Spirituality. Asian Studies. This is an English translation of a text of unknown provenance, given to a Frenchman by a Buddhist monk in old colonial Indochina. These essential anti-instructions from an ancient Buddhist anti-master echo certain inner aspects of the profound Great Perfection Teachings of Tibetan Buddhists as well as those views alluded to in Chinese Taoist traditions. The original mind has always been right before your eyes. There is nothing for you to discover or achieve. Nor have you ever lacked that which would enable you to see it -- from THE SAYINGS OF OLD CH'ENG.

Old Ch’eng points to the self existing reality that is free from mental fabrications—a state free from religious dogma. “The original mind has always been right before your eyes. There is nothing for you to discover or achieve. Nor have you ever lacked that which would enable you to see it.” —from The Sayings of Old Ch’eng *This is an English translation of a text of unknown provenance, given to a Frenchman by a Buddhist monk in old colonial Indochina.
