A leaf is like a Buddha, a sand is like bliss, and you can see kung fu at ordinary times; A smile is a dusty fate, an idea is quiet, and a Zen machine is well understood. Life is never short of excitement, just short of eyes looking for excitement; Life is always full of suffering, but idealists are never afraid of reincarnation. Who does not long for freedom and detachment, who is willing to really let go, without greed and hatred, there will be no bondage; Without comprehension and demonstration, you can't sublimate yourself. There was a poet and monk in the Tang Dynasty who was resourceful since he was a child. After middle age, he converted to Buddhism and eventually achieved success in Yu Dayou.
Topic Bamboo Tang Dynasty: The mysterious view of the sea jumps out from the fish, and birds are in the sky. If you want to know the outline of my Tao, it doesn't violate things.
Wang Xuanlan, a poet and monk in the Tang Dynasty, has a common name of Hui and a mysterious legal name. His ancestors moved from Taiyuan to Mianzhu in the late Jin Dynasty. He studied Taoism in Maoshan and then lived in seclusion in Chengdu, studying Taoism and Buddhism. He often talks about Taoism with scholars and argues with Buddhists, but no one can beat him, so he is famous far and near. Wu Zetian died in Luoyang on her way to Beijing in the first year of her magical power.
Wang Xuan, who is nearly 40 years old, traveled all over the world to find a teacher to visit the Tao. After reading the Buddhist classics, he found that although the Buddhist classics are exquisite, they are still unsatisfactory compared with the Taoist classics. He found that Taoism can develop wisdom and enlighten thinking. After becoming a monk, the master began to integrate Taoism and Buddhism, founded his own theoretical system, and eventually became a monk admired by thousands of people. Emma Wu Zetian has heard his name for a long time.
Master Xuan Lan is not only profound in Taoism, but also rich in literary accomplishment. He often wakes up his disciples in a few words. However, monks usually like to be quiet and don't want to be entangled in the world. Others think he is arrogant. Monks are also generous. He seldom blames those monks who have minor shortcomings, and always hopes that they will take the initiative to correct after repentance. Moreover, some monks not only study hard, but also abide by the rules and regulations at all times, and he does not praise them easily. So many disciples talked privately, and Xuan Lan wrote this poem on a bamboo pole after knowing it.
The first two sentences of the poem are easy to understand, "The sea jumps from fish and birds fly in the sky". The vast sea is boundless, and fish are free to jump. The vast sky is blue, where birds fly freely. The master warned his disciples that everyone's development is inseparable from a platform. When you are good enough, the platform can also let you gallop freely, and the chances of success will be greatly improved. On the contrary, even if you are lucky enough to board the best platform, if you are complacent or give up on yourself, you will lose the opportunity to take off.
After listening to this, the disciples were silent and stopped chattering like before. The monk continued to enlighten his disciples while the iron was hot. "It is not against the material situation to want to know the outline of my Tao." Side, the meaning is broad and profound; Physical sense refers to physics and human feelings. The master means that if you want to understand why my road is broad, the fundamental reason is that doing things does not violate its internal laws. A man of practice does not have to force himself to go against his innate nature. The more they cling to the superficial form, the more they can't get rid of it.
Legend has it that a Zen master practiced for many years and never saw sex. When he got up in the morning, he accidentally bumped his nose against the door frame, which not only hurt badly, but also bled. He shouted unconsciously, "Wow! It turns out that the nose is long! " At this moment, he suddenly realized. (Don't imitate) The poet Du Mu once said, "You can't see the cilia in front of you, and you want nothing but Tao." Everyone has Buddha nature, but a few people can see the clue. Few people believe the facts before them; * * * Naked lies often spread from one source to another.
A monk's Zen poem in the Tang Dynasty, seeing the Zen machine outside the appearance, brushed aside the clouds and understood the Zen principle. As the saying goes, take a step back and broaden the horizon. We often live outside the appearance and in the clouds. No one is a prophet or saint, and no one can make mistakes all his life. The key is how to actively correct his shortcomings, rather than trying to hide and cheat. When we are more mature and steady, and at the same time ignite the hidden potential in our hearts, we will inspire endless power and bring greater changes to the world.
