Francois Julien's book has been translated into English. You can read about it here. However, just because it's in English doesn't mean it's understandable to an English-speaker. At least I haven't had much luck with it, but I know Stephen Karcher lists it in one of his recent bibliographies (not sure which book) as a source. Go figure.
Waiting to receive all things. It sounds very simple. As if he uses this word only to describe "everything". But I think it is very literal. "Things" as opposed to thoughts, concepts, feelings, everything which involves ears or heart.Zhong Ni replied:
“Unify your frame of mind. Give up listening with your ears, but listen with your heart. Give up listening with your heart, but listen with the vital essence of your spirit! Listening stops at the ears. The heart stops at making calculations. In the essence of the spirit is openness that’s waiting to receive all things. Pondering Dao accumulates more openness. In that openness is the fasting of the heart.”
