Remarkable teachings intended for meditation and for cutting through delusions!
The Words of Old Tcheng first appeared in the French journal, Etre, in 1974.
Where this text first originated and at what time are unknown. It was given by a Buddhist monk in the form of a written document to a Frenchman who was visiting Indochina.
Indications of style suggest that it may belong to the school of Zen founded by Hui Neng, the 6th Zen patriarch.
French paraphrase of the original Buddhist text by J. Garillot (1974), translated by Else van den Muyzenberg.

Jared Marshall "Old man Tcheng used to live across the street from me and would always get up early in the morning to steal my newspaper." Hey Jared, I accidentally deleted your very funny comment from this thread when I went to reply and do some emojis of laughing faces and didn't know what I was doing and clicked the wrong button. Anyhoo, love it - ha ha ha ha aha! 😊 😊 😊

I am relieved to see that someone else has brought attention to this Old Man Tchengs character- after listening to this - I am pretty sure he is some sort of mind hacker’ How else could he go on and on with the details of my private, silent, still mind? Oh, ohh- Hey, Im gonna go have another listen - lovely to bump into people here- ❣️

Why is this powerful

@swingtradingpsychology Жыл бұрын

@@vijayaranha9018 it points directly to the nameless without having to go through the spiritual jargon and the politically correct rituals. It goes as far as ridiculing those who play the game of spirituality in a powerful and funny way. The '' truth'' has a direct path, you don' t need rituals, wise masters, prophets, monks, prayers, meditations or anything else. '' original spirit'' is here and now nothing can be said about it, this is the end of the story!

By forcing a label on this teaching, you have objectified a direct knowing into a concept, a thought in your head. you’ve made the boundless universe contract into a tiny, ephemeral flickering.

@ParityASMR 5 ай бұрын

@@Mountain_DhammaYes! This kind of labeling is like making one's mind into a pimple on a pimple within the chaos of differentiation. This is the constriction caused by the struggle of conceptualization. It is like cramming one's self concept into a clown car in one's own mind. Even the old man says that original mind cannot be bridged through the thoughts of others. Of course that is so when even our own thinking can be like an obstruction when we see ourselves as a divided entity within. Parity is found in stillness and teachings are more effective when we stop analyzing and vivisecting them with expectation and fantasizing about imagined prerequisites for original mind. It is like realizing the sunlight illuminating the whole tree instead of identifying with and swinging within it's tiniest branches.

I know it's just a way to jolt the audience out of their comfort zones so they will listen, but it's pretty amusing how he insults his audience in about every paragraph. Charming in a way.

He is about as grumpy with his fellow monks as my father-in-law was with me. Not wearing robes I feel that I safely avoid many of the arrows flying at his audience, so I am quite receptive to his message, while all those monks are squirming on their meditation cushions and waiting to escape from the withering storm of his excoriation.
