Zen Master Hongzhi ~ The Field of Boundless Emptiness ~ Zen (Chan) Buddhism
A selection of profound, direct pointers for meditation by Master Hongzhi Zhengjue. Excerpts taken from the text: "Cultivating the Empty Field
The Silent Illumination of Zen Master Hongzhi" - translated by Taigen Dan Leighton.
Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091–1157) was one of the most accomplished Chan masters of the Song dynasty who authored or compiled several influential texts. Hongzhi's conception of silent illumination is of particular importance to the Chinese Caodong Chan and Japanese Sōtō Zen schools. Hongzhi's distinctive teachings are well illustrated in the poetic practice instructions he left behind and are beautiful lyrical celebrations of our Buddha Nature and of all existence. However, they are not merely celebrations, but practice instructions and descriptions of meditative experience.
Music by Swami Madhuram Puri. With thanks to Swami for his kind offering of his exquisite music for this channel.
