Huang-Po's sermon
from Treatise of the Essentials of the Transmission of the Mind. (Denshin Hoyo)

Translated by D. T. Suzuki

Narrated by Denis Daly

Little is known of the life of Zen master Huang-Po (Obaku in Japanese). He was born in Fuzhou, China, and died about 850 AD. His main teacher was Pai Chang (Hyakujo) (720 - 814).

The main source for Huang-po's teaching is The Treatise of the Essentials of the Transmission of the Mind, compiled by his student, Pei Xiu.

Huang-Po's teaching is focused on the concept of Mind, the essence of intrinsic Buddahood. According to the master, the search for enlightenment was a useless distraction, as seeking for something inevitably separates the seeker from what is being sought.
