The Breakthrough Sermon (Poxiang lun)

Bodhidharma

A dialogue teaching that 'contemplating the mind' is the single practice that includes all others, and symbolically reinterpreting external rites (building temples, lighting lamps, making offerings) as operations of the mind. Its text coincides in substance with the Guanxin lun (Treatise on Contemplating the Mind).
