These words have no specific source. They are from the fifth episode of A Dream of Red Mansions. Jia Baoyu saw Xi Chun's verdict in The Twelve Women in Jinling, and quoted the phrase "a green light with an ancient Buddha, half-repaired and half-illumined".
"This is a green lantern that doesn't return visitors", which means that the author is tired of the world of mortals and originally planned to escape into an empty door, recite the manager Buddha and die. "Only because the wine is turbid, the dust still exists." Just because I like what is in this cup, I miss the world of mortals.
The word blue light is always associated with the ancient Buddha. In ancient temples, oil lamps in front of Buddha statues were consecrated. The lampshade is made of cloth, so it is called blue light. Therefore, we often use "often accompanied by ancient Buddha with blue lanterns" to refer to breaking away from the secular and converting to Buddhism.
I want to practice with Deng Qing, but I am full of longing for the world of mortals. As long as I am not afraid of the death of the world of mortals, the loneliness of life, and the hardships ahead, I will definitely become a man of practice through my own efforts.
Appreciate:
The first sentence "This is that the Green Lantern does not return guests." Blue lamp, ancient Buddha, yellow scroll, this is the world of conversion. Blue light is both a guest and a self. In this world, where people come from and where they go are all blue lanterns. The lights in their hearts light up their lives, and passers-by are also guests. What do we turn into? Why can't we go back?
In this world, the desire to get rid of the mortal world and convert to Buddhism, not to rise and fall in the world of mortals, or to see through the world of mortals, or to understand the world, get tired of human affairs, and be free may not be realized.
Poetic heart and Buddhist heart are empty. I should have lived the life of an ancient Buddha, a clean life, a lonely life and a lonely old age.
The second sentence, "I love the world of mortals only because of turbid wine." You can't keep people clean in an empty door. Greed is always there. There are too many temptations in this world. After drinking a glass of turbid wine, you will know what you want.
Why do you want to see through the world of mortals? Why not enjoy the beauty of the world? Things in the world can't be said, because there are booze, drunkenness, luxury cars and BMWs in the world of mortals, and some of them are the needs of life. After all, the world of mortals is the way back and should be pursued.
These two sentences are nothing more than advocating pure people, who have to be greedy because of the temptation of too much world of mortals.
The third sentence, "The starry sky does not ask passers-by." Who is not allowed to travel and who is not a wanderer? Everyone comes and goes alone. This world makes you lonely. In this world, there is only a lonely life, and lonely people travel around the world alone.
Travel under the stars is a long and arduous journey. Who would ask? The starlight illuminates the people on the road. Starlight is starlight, which seems to have nothing to do with you. However, you can't ignore it. It is there watching you. Although it can't speak, it illuminates your way forward in the dark.
The fourth sentence, "Time pays off." Although time and tide wait for no man, we are kind to everyone who has a heart. Your efforts, your efforts and everything you do will not live up to time, but you just work hard and give the harvest to time. Time will not live up to expectations, and those who have hope in their hearts will also be kind to those who seek nothing but hard work.
In short, if you are clean, you have to run around. If you don't meditate in Buddhism, you have to practice in the world of mortals. The road of life is full of thorns, full of hope and bumpy and muddy all the way. As long as you work hard, you will get something. You will fail yourself, and time will not fail you.
