True Heart/Mind by Sengcan
"True Heart/Mind" by Sengcan is a poem traditionally attributed to the Third Chinese Chan Patriarch and composed during the Tang dynasty (618–907). This early Chan Buddhist text explores non-duality and equanimity through adapted Daoist terminology and Buddhist wisdom teachings. The poem guides practitioners to abandon one-sided views and dualistic thinking, revealing the mind's inherent perfection. Its central message points directly to the true nature of mind by letting go of attachments to
concepts of right and wrong, being and non-being. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
