Encouraging Words | Zen Master Guishan - Practice Before It's Too Late

Guishan Lingyou (771-853) was a Chinese Chan master during the Tang Dynasty and the founder of the Guiyang school.
For monks, nuns, or laypeople, this text from the days of early Buddhism in China calls on us to wake up and live an authentic life dedicated to spiritual ideals. The Admonitions and Encouraging Words of Master Guishan is offered to new monks and nuns at the time of their ordination together with books on monastic codes of conduct, and it remains a companion and guide throughout their career.
The importance of Master Guishan's Classical Chinese text cannot be underestimated. Although it is addressed to monks, it is suitable for anyone who seeks to awaken and live with clarity and intention.
