About this listen
A flower is held up in silence. Only Mahakashyapa smiles, because the flower is already his own face.
The Original Face follows Chan, the school that became Zen, from that wordless beginning through its first great masters, in their own words: the Third Patriarch's Faith in Mind, Huineng and the sudden school, Yongjia's Song of Enlightenment, Dazhu Huihai, Mazu and the birth of encounter dialogue, Huangbo, Linji, Dongshan's Five Ranks, Yunmen's one-word barriers, the Five Houses, the Blue Cliff Record, the Gateless Gate, the Book of Serenity, Dahui's huatou method, Hongzhi's silent illumination, and the lamp records.
Each chapter sets the masters' own sayings, newly translated from the Chinese, beside a clear account of what they point to and how to sit with it.
This audiobook is narrated with a digital (AI) voice.
