Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng is probably the most important Chinese Zen Master, next to Bodhidharma. An illiterate woodcutter that nevertheless had an immediate affinity and capacity to grasp the most profound Zen teachings, he ultimately was responsible for bring the Zen teaching to all parts of China.
This is a very nice song about Hui Neng by an American John Wheeler.
這是一首美國人寫的「六祖慧能」的歌!

This is awesome, Shifu. Thanks for posting it. What does Shifu think of his other Zen songs. And are his books worth reading?
