Thien Tong Bat Lap Van Tu - Softcover

The book Thien Tong Bat Lap Van Tu by Nguyen Giac is a collection of essays that explain extensively The Heart Sutra and the practice based on Sutta Nipata -- the practitioner should cling neither outside nor inside, neither to the past nor future nor present; should neither grasp nor reject anything. If you dwell in or hold on to "the here and now," you are still outside the Zen Gate of Bodhidharma. If you practice the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, you still have an object for insight meditation -- which is a great means; however, if you practice Zen (in which The Heart Sutra is a great means), you are mindful without any object. You should cling to neither Existence nor Non-Existence because you directly recognize via eyes and ears the Emptiness and the Stillness; in the Emptiness, you know how to dwell your mind in Suchness. Buddha taught in Sutta Nipata that we should drop all the "here and now" and all things, even the practice (Sn 4.5 - Paramatthaka Sutta in Atthakavagga, Sutta Nipata: A brahman not led by precepts or practices, gone to the beyond — Such — doesn't fall back.). Thus, Sutta Nipata shows us how to mindful without any object, depending on nothing. This book also cites Einstein in the essays about the Buddhist way to see the world as illusions.
