Teacher Zhi Xin, whose style name is Wu Yi (literally meaning “fully comprehensive”) and whose pseudonym is Zhi Xin (literally meaning “governing the heart”), is a poet, writer, thinker, artist, and wiseman who integrates Tao into his life. He was born in Sichuan and has experienced many adventures since childhood, which led to the subversion of his three contemplations in outlook on life, values, and world view, and then prompted him to begin to explore the truth of life and the mystery of the great Buddha-Path. Later, a Taoist master came unexpectedly to enlighten him carefully for years before he began to study Buddhism. So far, he has been immerging himself in all kinds of special and superior cognition for more than 20 years, enabling himself to finally realize the perfect reality of life and universe. His achievements are beyond description. Now he even uses his multiple identities and roles to interpret the great freedom of his life.

I solemnly recommend another of Teacher Zhi Xin’s brilliant collection of spiritual poems: “My Daily Life”!  Each poetry collection of Teacher Zhi Xin’s is a fusion of wisdom and mercy after decades of Buddhist practice and demonstration, having finally understood the truth of the origin of life. Each collection can be considered a classical book of Buddhist practice and a demonstration of perfect wisdom in life, providing us with a rare and precious guide to the ultimate truth of life and a rapid spiritual awakening!

Teacher Zhi Xin’s poetry collection not only contains a classical charm, but also the essence of thousands of years of culture, which is as deep and distant as the melodies of a zither. It also combines a modern style, rippling with poetic life, just like the dancing of a bamboo shadow, carefree yet refined. There are magnificent, unconstrained styles, imaginative and tense handwriting and expressions, all of which are amazing and enlightening to read. There are also children’s interests and a playfulness that is nuanced, lively, humorous and fresh, causing one to laugh and clap their hands after reading. Sometimes words are used as a lion’s roar, and the meaning of life is inquired after with a power that strikes directly to the heart. At other times it conveys to you in human language the spirit of the origin of all things, the heaven hidden in every leaf, and the bliss in every flower!
