Anyone who reads my poems must be careful in his heart.
Being greedy and honest, flattery is right.
Get rid of bad karma and return to the truth.
It is urgent to become a Buddha today.
This is the first poem in Hanshanzi's poetry collection, also called preface poem. From the standpoint of literature, some scholars think that this is written by editor Lu Qiuyin Du. The reason they hold is that with Han Shanzi's creative skill, there is no reason to choose such a song without artistic conception and creative skills, and it is very general? A very common warning poem is his own preface. This view is not impossible. Maybe you will support it after reading 3 12 poems in the complete works. Personally, from a religious point of view, I firmly believe that this is indeed the work of Hanshanzi.
Let's see what this poem says.
Anyone who has read my poems.
You must have the idea of protecting purity in your heart.
Abandon greed and greed and replace them with light (sun) and honesty.
Correct flattery in time.
Drive away the evil heart and stop doing evil.
Reject the three treasures and benefit from your true Buddha nature.
You can get the Buddha body right away today.
What are you waiting for? Be quick.
(Note: As urgent as a law, Taoist incantations use words. It means: I am instructed by the old gentleman that the soldiers (ghosts) will execute it quickly. ) The above is for reference.
