Zhiyi's śamatha and vipaśyanā
Any written texts from Zhiyi himself explaining his meditation system of samatha and vipasyana?
It’s eye blinking.

Some English Translations are available;
http://www.amazon.com/Essentials-Buddhi ... ords=zhiyi
http://www.amazon.com/The-Six-Dharma-Ga ... ords=zhiyi
I'm not sure about the original Chinese texts though.

A lot of articles on Swanson' website.
"Inscribed with the brush of Mt. Sumeru and the ink of the seas,
Heaven-and-earth itself is the sutra book.
All phenomena are encompassed in even a single point therein,
And the six sense objects are all included within its covers."
-Kukai, translated in Kukai on the Philosophy of Language by Takagi and Dreitlein

Any free texts? Just need a few lines clearly explaining samatha and vipasyana. I don't see myself reading a whole a book of anything.

The first link dearreader gave (Dr Swanson's website) includes some free texts. Look at the upper-right hand corner of the page.

The Greater Text on Calm and Insight, 摩訶止觀
The Six Entrances to the Sublime, 六妙門 and
The Explanation of the Perfection of Dhyana 釋禪波羅密.
The first three are available in English translation, but not the latter.
