This is a Zen ode, which contains analogy, allusions and ancient common sense. There is very little content that can be seen on the internet, which is difficult to understand. I'm trying to explain it here, and I hope people of insight can do it together.
The purpose of Zen Buddhism is "pointing directly at people's hearts and seeing nature as a Buddha". It believes that the highest truth is unspeakable, and the highest truth is contained in everything and everyone. Only when someone has experienced it personally can you finally get it. The highest truth emphasizes personal experience and cannot be conveyed through words. This has caused a phenomenon, that is, the disciples taught by the great virtue of ancient Zen Buddhism often have nothing to say, and if they can't say it, they will answer irrelevant questions and scold their disciples in various seemingly contradictory and unacceptable ways, hoping to break through the shackles of language in this way, point directly at people's hearts and become Buddhas! From external pursuit to internal exploration, see nature clearly! But for disciples who are bent on seeking Tao but have no consciousness, they will find these words and actions unacceptable, and they will not understand the good intentions of Zen master. Therefore, many disciples will choose or be recommended by the Zen master to continue their studies after studying for many years. Perhaps another Zen master's "method" will enlighten them. After knowing some common sense of Zen, we can read a book.
In the first four sentences, "You Tan-Come to the place", for example, compare the highest truth to You Pan, which is in full bloom, but can't smell the fragrance, just like self-sufficiency, people who don't realize it will never understand. Only when you are enlightened will you know where it comes from and understand it. The first four sentences are about the fundamental characteristics of Zen.
The last four sentences "move-meaning" say that the method of Zen exploration cannot rely on words. Once you rely on words and thinking, the highest truth will change immediately, and it will no longer be the highest truth I have experienced, because what is experienced cannot be described by language. Only when you and I are full can you call it our * * * experience, and I tell you, satiety is not satiety itself, if you don't have this experience. Moreover, Zen also claims that enlightenment cannot be obtained through intellectual thinking. It opposes thinking, emphasizes experience and empathizes with everything! This is really a headache for most friends who are interested in Zen, because we always think that intelligence is omnipotent and the only tool we can rely on to explore the outside world. But Zen is not. This is where it transcends. Wisdom is not intelligence! It is closer to the will.
The next six sentences, "Yinjiang-Wan Li", should be to introduce this disciple of Zen Master Qing Mao in Gu Lin, that is, "Jiushi", who has served him for a long time and has not been enlightened for a long time. It is said that he is a disciple with a good background and extraordinary appearance, and he has traveled all over the ancestral Dojo.
The next four sentences, "Because of thinking-ancestral meaning", should begin with the old monk Heaven Tong. Ancient people often called someone by their first names. Perhaps the home of the Zen master of Tiantong Temple is in Jizhou, Shanxi. I looked up the Zen master of Tiantong Temple who was contemporary with Qing Mao on the Internet, but I didn't give a detailed introduction, so I'm not sure which Zen master it is. Master Qing Mao said that his Tao is profound. This man is a descendant of Cao Dongzong, who inherited the teachings of Zen. Xizu is the founder of Zen Buddhism, Dharma. Xizuyi is a proper noun of Zen Buddhism, which means the highest truth. (In addition, Tiantong Temple is in Yinjiang, and this long-term waiter is also from Yinjiang. Maybe master Qing Mao did it on purpose. )
The next four sentences, "Go back to your own home", mean that this disciple has been to Tiantong Temple before, and now he is going back, and the "Re-participation" at the beginning of the ode is an explanation.
The last two sentences are hard to understand. I think it may still be said that the enlightenment of Zen is not legal. To break the mindset of crushing coral, the highest truth is not at the end of language, and the hand pointing to the moon is not the moon itself-Fengqi is not under the buttonwood tree.
The above humble opinions, I hope to help you.
