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\n\u003cp\u003e144 Pages, Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStage 2 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/zmm.org\/teachings-and-training\/recommended-reading\/\"\u003eRecommended Reading\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Store Weighed Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32438733897866,"sku":"B-CHAN","price":15.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0307\/5683\/1370\/products\/c-_faith_in_mind__33251.jpg?v=1739048917"},{"product_id":"living-by-vow","title":"Living By Vow","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Practical Introduction to Eight Essential Zen Chants and Texts\u003cbr\u003eby Shohaku Okumura\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis immensely useful book explores Zen's rich tradition of chanted liturgy and the powerful ways that such chants support meditation, expressing and helping us truly uphold our heartfelt vows to live a life of freedom and compassion.
