Rainstorms poured down from there and strong winds blew from there.
This is an easy-to-repair poem that explains the name "easy-to-repair". He thinks that both the material world and the spiritual world are important. One has to go back and forth between these two worlds, but in order to be reborn in pure freedom, one must have a short rest. Ups and downs and any external force have nothing to do with him. And all his life, he has been working hard in this direction.
A Buddhist monk in Muromachi era in Japan was a Buddhist monk. His father is Emperor Komatsu and his mother is the concubine of the Emperor. Yixiu's mother comes from a noble family. Although Emperor Komatsu doted on her, it caused the queen's jealousy. When I found out that she was pregnant, I found a reason to expel her from the palace. Yixiu was born after his mother left the palace, so he never lived the life of a prince and grandson, but grew up among civilians.
An Jiuzhi was sent to Beijing by his mother when he was five years old. When he was a servant of a monk, he was originally named Zhou Jian. He is very interested in studying Buddhist scriptures. At the age of eleven, I attended Buddhist scriptures and began to learn to write Chinese poems at the age of twelve. In the Muromachi era, a learned monk had to be able to write Chinese poems. When I was young, Yixiu was a very pious and observant monk, which won the favor of Ji Jian, and later formally accepted him as an apprentice. Four years later, Xiang Waiji Jian died, and he lost his teacher for a while, which was very painful. He once had the idea of suicide. Fortunately, his mother knew about it and sent someone to stop him.
After several twists and turns, he worshipped Zen as a teacher, and the master named him Yi Xiu Zong Chun. After learning from the teacher, while studying Buddhist scriptures, I also pay attention to reality after a break. He expressed his resentment against the hypocrisy and formality of some monks at that time in a wild and maverick way. Yixiu nicknamed himself "Crazy Yunzi", so his poetry collection of China was named "Crazy Party".
Out of great dissatisfaction with the deceitful monk, he left the temple a few years before Master died, and his behavior went to the other extreme, openly leading a bohemian life. This is undoubtedly an open challenge to monks, aiming at satirizing those prudes. In fact, almost all the monks in the temple are secretly pursuing sensuality and doing evil, but they just dare not act openly. He also satirized these behaviors of monks in many of his poems.
Although he was bohemian and playful for a while, he always believed that everything in this world was temporary and superficial, and even the external forms and costumes of religion were just skin on the bones. There is an anecdote to illustrate his point: once a wealthy family took a break to do something, and then went there in shabby robes. The man thought he was too inappropriate and sent him away. After a short rest, he came back. This time, he put on gorgeous cassock on the old cassock, which was very popular. After a short rest, he immediately took off his cassock and said, "Let this cassock do things for you." Say that finish also don't look back, still wearing shabby vestments, towering away.
At the age of eighty-one, he reluctantly accepted the invitation of Emperor Houdiyumen and became the abbot of Dade Temple, but he only lived in Dade Temple for one day and never went back. Because of the rebellion in Ren Ying, Dade Temple was burned down again, and it is planned to be rebuilt after the interruption. It was not until the thirteenth year of civilization that the abbot and the Dharma Hall were built. In that year 1 1 month, one died in the reward nunnery at the age of 88.
Generally speaking, Yixiu is a strange man who transcends the times. He is both an enlightened Zen master and an unruly monk. His thoughts are far higher than those of his time.
