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.  🙏 May whatever goodness arises from these readings/offerings be for the benefit of all sentient beings.  🎧 As a Buddhist nun, my intention with these podcasts is to offer these creative adaptations of spiritual teachings for the purpose of deepening spiritual understanding, contemplation, meditation, healing, devotion and relaxation for listeners.
