The \u003ci\u003eHsin Hsin Ming\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterpiece of economy, expressing the profoundest truth of the enlightened mind in only a few short pages. Master Sheng Yen’s approach is unique among commentaries on the text: he views it as a supremely useful and practical guide to meditation practice. “I do not adopt a scholarly point of view or analytical approach,” he says. “Rather, I use the poem as a taking-off point to inspire the practitioner and deal with issues that arise during the course of practice. True faith in mind is the belief grounded in realization that we have a fundamental, unmoving, and unchanging mind. This mind is precisely Buddha mind.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shambhala Publications, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070156751088,"sku":"9780834826175","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780834826175_p0.jpg?v=1763830636","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780834826175","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
