Taoism
The three sages of Oriental philosophy were Confucius, Buddha and Lao-tzu. Lao-tzu was the first of them but Confucius is believed to be the greatest of them.
Confucius, Mencius, and Laozi (Lao Tzu).
Wu-Hsin is a concept of Chinese philosophical thought ("mushin" is what it's called in Japanese). The Chinese and Japanese share this concept. Roughly translated it means "no-mindedness." I think that this principle originates from Taoist philosophy but it seems to share certain ideas with Buddhism in that it has to do with a sort of "non-attachment" type of mentality. Some schools of Buddhism, of course--such as Zen or Ch'an--have a lot in common with Taoism.Bruce Lee is famous for discussing the princinple of Wu hsin in his book "Artist of Life" and "The Tao of Gung Fu."It is worth saying that "no-mindedness," as understood by the oriental philosophy, does not refer to a state of mind devoid of thought. That would be a misinterpretation. Rather, it should be thought of as a state of "non-graspingness" in which one's mind and one's thoughts do not linger on any one thing. As Alan Watts comically puts it, it is a state of mind in which there is no sensation of a separate mind, or separate thinker "standing over it with a club."There is a lot more that can be said about this. I would suggest reading into the work Bruce Lee, Alan Watts and Lao Tzu (founder of Taoist philosophy). I'm sure there's a lot more but these are the philosophers that I'm familar with who discuss this principle (and yes, Bruce Lee was a philosopher--most people aren't aware of that).
Just for apex.. Lao-Tze
there is no official 'holy book' but a fundamental work would be the 'Tao Te Ching' by Lao Tsu.
