Hsin Hsin Ming, the Book of Nothing: Discourses on the Faith Mind of Sosan

These are not just commentaries on the teachings of an

ancient Zen master. Here is an alive, contemporary Zen master at work —

and as the meaning of Sosan's teachings are unraveled, so are the habitual

patterns and prejudices of the reader's mind. Furthermore, Osho's work is

so subtle and delicate, the surgery is performed almost before you know it.

As you turn the last page, you may suddenly realize that you'll never again

be quite so captivated by your own inner chatter — and without any effort

you've taken the first, vital step towards meditation.

Review from sannyas dot org:

"If I were to save only two books from the whole world of the mystics, one would be Sosan's Hsin Hsin Ming," Osho says. "It contains the quintessence of Zen, the path of awareness and meditation...the very soul of Zen." Himself a master of both words and silence, Osho builds a bridge between the modern, chattering mind and the infinite no-mind of Sosan through these Zen sutras — the only words uttered by Sosan, the 6th-century Chinese mystic and third Chinese patriarch.
