A story of a woman reincarnated in Wuhu County, Anhui Province, as Huanggu, xiushui county City, Jiangxi Province, is recorded in the County Records of xiushui county, Jiangxi Province.
Huang Gu, a famous great writer, became the year of Wuhu at the age of 26. One day, he dreamed that he went to a place and saw a white-haired old woman offering a bowl of celery noodles outside the door. When Huang Gu smelled noodles, he ate them and woke up with the smell of celery. Huang Gugu thought his career was a dream and didn't care too much. I took a nap the next day, but I dreamed about yesterday. When I woke up, I felt very confused. So I followed my dream and went to a village unconsciously. In my dream, I saw the old woman, with three sticks of incense in her hand, praying to heaven in a low voice. Strangely, a bowl of hot and delicious celery noodles was placed on the incense table. Huang Gu asked:
"Old woman! What are you doing? "
"Yesterday was the 26th anniversary of my daughter's death. I am paying homage to her! "
Yellow valley a listen to very surprised, how about his age, quickly ask again:
"What does your daughter like to do on weekdays?"
"When she was alive, she liked to worship Buddha, read Buddhist scriptures, and decided not to marry, especially celery noodles, so I specially prepared a bowl for her today."
"Can I visit her boudoir?"
The old woman then led Huang Goo Goo into the door, only to see the bookshelf filled with many ancient books she had read, and there was a big cupboard in the corner. Huang Gugu asked curiously:
"What's in it? Can you open it and have a look? "
The old woman doesn't know what's in it, let alone where the key is. Huang goo goo mused, as if thinking of something, and soon found the key. When he opened the cupboard, he was speechless. It turned out that it was full of articles that he took part in every exam. Yellow valley finally understand this helpless old woman, turned out to be his mother in a former life, kneeling on both feet, sincerely say:
"Old man! I used to be your daughter, please go back and accept my support. "
In order to honor Gu Ying's mother and go home, Huang specially wrote a poem for this purpose:
Like a monk with hair, like a vulgar dust.
As a loving person, you can realize the outside world.
It means that although I am a family with hair, I am a Buddhist shaman who has a yearning for the Tao; Although living in five desires and six dusts, it is not polluted by vulgar dust. Sighing that life is like a dream, and there is fatigue outside, it is really "six interests in the dream, and nothing after sleep."
Hirohito, the fifth ancestor of Zen?
Hong Ren, the fifth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, also has a well-known samsara karma. Hong Ren was an old man who planted pine trees at the foot of Broken Head Mountain in his last life. He respected the Taoist beliefs of the four ancestors and demanded to become a monk. Taoist beliefs doubt that he is too old to be widely used, so we have to comfort him and say:
"If you are reborn, I may be able to wait for you for a few years."
The old man bid farewell to his four ancestors and came to the stream. When he saw a girl washing wool, he asked:
"Girl! Can I borrow your house? "
"I have a father and a brother in the world, so I can't decide. You can ask them. "
"I dare to go only if you promise."
As soon as the girl saw dusk, an old man came to ask for accommodation and nodded. Strange to say, the unmarried girl got pregnant when she came home. Her parents thought it was bad for her, so they kicked her out of the house and became a maid. Later, a chubby baby boy was born. The unfortunate mother wanted to abandon the ominous child in the river, but the child went upstream and had to beg to raise him. Not knowing the origin of his father, people in the village called him "no surname". At the age of six or seven, those who have no surnames are smart, lively and lovely. One day, the Taoist Buddhist monk Honghua came here, met the Taoist Buddhist monk with no surname, and kindly held the Buddhist monk's vestment, asking the Taoist monk to become a monk. Jackson saw a child, touched his head and said:
"You are too young, how can you become a monk?"
"master! You used to think I was too old, but now you think I am too young. When will you allow me to become a monk? " No surname, just like an adult, questioning the Zen master.
Hearing this, the Taoist priest suddenly felt something and quickly asked him:
"Kid, what's your name, what's your name? Where do you live? "
"My name is Wuer and I live in Shilixiang. "
"Everyone has a surname. How can you lie and say you don't have a last name? What's your last name? "
"I take Buddha as my surname, so I don't have a surname."
Dao Xin was very happy to hear that. At an early age, his tone was so loud that it turned out to be a three-treasure dragon elephant, a multiplier. Later, he taught him the mantle and became the fifth ancestor of Zen. His disciples came forth in large numbers and made brilliant flowers for China Zen.
