After “Old Path white Clouds” – This is possibly my favourite book of Thays. I feel through these versus a connection with Vasubandhu, 21st patriarch of Chan, to who’s Thirty and Twenty verses this book form a sort of commentary and reply from one of the 21st Century’s foremost yogacara practitioners and philosophers.
This book has traveled with me on some form for several years – a sort of touchstone as to the true nature of mind, and a revealing of the store consciousness – (Sk: “alayavijñana”) as both source of all our seeds (Sk “bhija”), but also the possibility of “transformation at the base”.
