He also believed in Buddhism since he was a child, and a Zen master in Mazu Road, Hongzhou (now Nanchang, Shanxi), who worked for his father as a teenager, preached Buddhism there, and he was deeply influenced.
After the failure of "Yongzheng Innovation", Liu Zongyuan went into exile (removed from his post at home) and lived in an ancient temple in longxing temple. My wife just died, and my mother died, which was a great blow to my body and mind. At this time, the monks in longxing temple cared about him and took care of him, so Liu Zongyuan and the disciples of the famous monk Zhan Ran became friends outside China. The poem "Pure Land Hall" written in the temple: learn from scratch and drown the poor source in turn. Manifold and this world, only then realize three empty doors. Huatang has a clean field, and its images are beautiful and complicated. Leng Xiang, implicit songs and words. I'm sorry for my tutor, but I'm very sorry for fainting this morning. This poem describes the renovation of the temple and expresses his understanding of the truth of three empty spaces (I am empty, French empty, empty).

Xiangshan ju Bai Shi ju yi
Bai Juyi (772-846) was the initiator and advocate of the New Yuefu Movement. When he was proud, he lived in Xiangshan Temple in Longmen, Luoyang, made friends with Manchu Zen masters, recited poems and meditated, calling himself "the Buddha of Xiangshan". After being demoted to Huizhou, he felt that his career was difficult and dangerous, so he put his youth in mountains and rivers and converted to Buddhism. He said in the poem "Give Straight Articles": "Set an example in the early years and go straight to leisure articles; I am close to Nanchan. "
Bai Juyi is closer to a middle-aged monk. He has been disciplined and practiced Zen. The Epitaph of Mr. Zuiyin, written by him, contains the ambition of recording his life: "To cultivate his body with Confucianism outside, to cure his heart with Buddhism inside, and to reward his ambition with beautiful scenery, piano songs and poems outside." In his later years, Bai Juyi became more convinced of Buddhism and returned to Pure Land Sect (a sect in Buddhism that believes in reincarnation). He rebuilt the Xiangshan Temple in Luoyang and was buried in it after his death. Up to now, there is still Bai Juyi's tomb in Xiangshan Temple. The poem "Rebuilding Xiangshan Temple with Twenty-two Rhymes" wrote: "Southern ancestors should learn, and Western societies can vote. Life should be Zhi Zhi's foot, and the second enlightenment should be suspended. " .
