Ji Shou Tian Zhong Tian is a poem written by Su Shi and has no name. When he was in Huangzhou, Su Shi often communicated with Zen Master Foyin, who was in charge of Jinshan Temple. One day, Su Shi composed a poem and presented it to Foyin: "The head of the sky is in the middle of the sky, a single ray of light shines on the universe, and the eight winds cannot blow it, sitting upright on a purple golden lotus." The Zen master immediately criticized the word "fart" and asked the boy to take it back. Dongpo was furious when he saw it, and immediately crossed the river to question the Zen master. The Zen master laughed and said, "Bachelor, bachelor, aren't you 'unable to be blown by the eight winds'? Why did you cross the river with just a 'fart'?"
"The eight winds cannot move" can be found in Volume 5 of "Buddhist Sutra", and this sentence is also included in the poems of the poet Hanshan. The eight winds are Buddhist terms, referring to the eight realms of wind: praise, ridicule, destruction, Reputation, profit, loss, suffering and happiness.
Su Shi was accompanied by his monk friend Weilin in the last moments of his life, which shows that the principles of Zen Buddhism comforted his life. In his final poem "Reply to the Elder Jing Shanlin", he wrote: "Both you and I are Bingzi, and each has lived for thirty thousand days. One thousand verses a day, I will send a telegram to Rongjie.
A great fate. If there is a body, there will be no disease. The whole life will be full of smiles, and the divine mantra will really flow out." Here is not only the "Diamond Sutra"-style argument for life, but also the suffering of birth, old age, illness and death. The detachment is also the ultimate expression of Su Shi's thoughts.
