Zen | Verses on the Perfect Mind | Seng’tsan

The Hsin Hsin Ming (Shinjinmei in Japanese) is a verse attributed to the Third Chinese Chan (Zen) Patriarch Seng’tsan (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. It is as relevant today as it was then.

This translation is titled "verses on the perfect mind" and is interpreted by Eric Putkonen
