About this listen

The Yin Chih Wen, or Tract of the Quiet Way, is a religio-ethical tract which was very popular in the Middle Kingdom, but never attained the celebrity of similar texts, such as the Tao Te Ching.

This recording is of the first known English translation, which was made by the eminent Buddhist scholars, D. T. Suzuki and Paul Carus.

This little Tract is a Jewel . Very well produced. It was an unexpected gift.
I was looking for anything T D Suzuki and I found an expression of the Sanatana Dharma in it purest of forms.
