A Boatload of Moonlight – Letters of Yuanwu
Originally appeared April 2014
The early sages lived with utmost frugality, and the ancient worthies overcame hardships and lived austerely. They purified their will in this, forgetting food and sleep. They studied with total concentration and accurate focus, seeking true realization.
Yuanwu is best known for the very well-known collection of 100 public cases, The Blue Cliff Record, which in reality consists of notes taken from lectures he gave to his students who collected their notes and printed them out as block prints.
