Master Guojun is a Western-educated spiritual and guiding teacher of Chan Community Canada and Dharmajala Indonesia. He was the abbot of Dharma Drum Retreat Center in Pine Bush, New York. Master Goujun is currently the abbot of Mahabodhi Temple in Singapore. His first book was Essential Chan Buddhism: The Spirit and Character of Chinese Zen, an impressive collection of teachings on breath, the student-teacher relationship, kindness, letting go, and prostration.

In this elegant collection of meditations, Master Guojun looks at the capacity for tolerance, dealing with sickness, faith as the opening of the heart, getting attuned to our original nature of smiling and floating, maximizing the relentless effort of courage, engaging with the world, and the riches of coming back to the present moment.

Chan Heart, Chan Mind delivers the wisdom of the East as a perfume for the West. The author's calligraphy nicely enhances his thoughtful insights.
