There is a hut on the top of Qian Shan, and there is a cloud between the old monk and the old monk.
Last night, the clouds went with the wind and rain, but in the end they were not as idle as the old monk.

There is an old monk who is a monk. He built a hut on the top of a high mountain. Cabin is often in the clouds. The old monk himself said that he only lived in half and left half to the cloud. The old monk can settle down in such a mountain life, but Yun can't settle down. Clouds drift away with the wind and rain, but they are not as calm as the old monk.
When the Tibetan Bodhisattva was still practicing Buddhism, his attendant boy often missed his relatives at home and asked for leave.
Go home. Seeing the waiter coming out, the Tibetan Bodhisattva said to the boy, "Old monk, don't worry about this trip often."
Accompanied by smog. "This means you don't have to worry about leaving. I live on the top of a high mountain, accompanied by clouds, smoke and clouds.
I'm not alone.
There used to be many monks who went to the mountains to practice. Do you think they will be lonely at the top of the mountain? Actually, no.
However, they regard everything as a partner. It doesn't matter even if he doesn't shave or take a shower, because they have no worries.
Without filth, I live in Zen and happiness. Just like the old monk in the poem, he doesn't drift with the clouds. On the other hand, some monks, especially young people, can't stand ups and downs, can't stand the change of human feelings, can't stick to their own monasticism, change and change, and finally have nothing, nothing. We should learn from this old monk, live in half a room, and don't travel around.
If you are uncertain, you can achieve something.
