This Too: The Water Cave Tutelage

by Wu Hsin

The real life of Wu Hsin is a historical puzzle that may well never be resolved. Long lost texts have emerged from more than two milennia beneath the soil in South China. Written on bamboo and silk and entombed in burial sites of sages of the Southern Region, the writings of Wu Hsin are indeed a treasure.

In this volume, he takes his students on an interior journey, figuratively and literally. Leaving their mountaintop hermitage, the students send several months inside Water Cave, during which time the Master expounds a timeless wisdom in his inimitable style.

About the author

Wu Hsin is a pseudonym of Roy Melvyn. Although Melvyn presents himself as the "translator" of the supposedly lost writings of Wu Hsin, the character is in reality entirely fictional.

According to his biography, Wu Hsin was a Chinese sage who lived about one hundred years after Confucius, some time between 403 and 221 BCE. His name translates to "no mind", alluding to an important concept of non-duality in Daoism as well as Zen Buddhism.
