"Two Entries and Four Practices"

The legendary Bodhidharma's only surviving teaching, as recorded by Tanlin, who learned from Huike, who learned from Zen Master Dharma himself.

In the following episodes we'll be discussing Bodhidharma and Huike's school in-depth, and this text will factor heavily into the discussion. Here is the whole thing, as translated by John McRae. Included at the end are two letters which were appended and circulated with the text, the first of which is anonymous, the second of which is by Layman Hsiang (I incorrectly say it is also anonymous in the episode). After this follows Huike's letter replying to Layman Hsiang.
