About

Seng T'san (Jianzhi Sengcan, d. 606) was the Third Patriarch of Chan Buddhism and author of the 'Xinxin Ming' (Faith in Mind), one of the earliest and most influential Chan poems. The poem's opening lines — 'The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences' — encapsulate the essence of non-dual awareness. Little is known of his life beyond his role in transmitting the Chan lineage from Huike to Daoxin.
