Introduction by Eric Putkonen
The Hsin-Hsin Ming (Shinjinmei in Japanese) is a verse attributed to the Third Chinese Chan (Zen) Patriarch Seng-ts'an (known as Sosan in Japan). Written in the 6th century, it is considered the first clear and comprehensive statement of Zen.
The Hsin-Hsin Ming has been much beloved by Zen practitioners for over a thousand years. It is still studied today in Western Zen circles. I find it is as relevant today as it was then.
