1。 Buddha said: forgetting doesn't mean it never existed. Everything comes from choice, not deliberate. Let go. The more you put it, the more you feel you have it.
2, Buddha said: life is made by oneself, and it is born by the heart. Everything in the world changes, the heart does not move, everything does not move, the heart does not change, and everything does not change.
3, the Buddha said: sitting is also Zen, walking is also Zen, a flower is a world, a leaf is Tathagata, spring flowers are green, autumn leaves fall, boundless prajnaparamita is free, and words are silent and natural.
Sitting is Zen, walking is Zen, and a flower is a world. A leaf can realize the Buddha, and when autumn comes, the leaf will naturally fall, and the heart with infinite insight can be at ease, and whether to speak or not is naturally controlled by the body.
4. Buddha said: Laugh without complaining. Leisure, carefree, casual, casual. Just a hundred years later, a flower blooms, and life is doomed to change.
Flower refers to lotus, which means bloom sees Buddha. There is a lotus pond in the pure land of the west, and people are lotus flowers. If you practice in this life, the lotus pond in the west will have its own lotus. In a hundred years, Bloom will meet the Buddha.
5, Buddha said: the moment is eternal (if life is like a Buddha, there is no sorrow, no joy, no dream, no illusion, no love, no hate, all four are empty, what is the difference between life and death. Can't, can't understand, can't give up, can't give up, can't understand, loathe to give up. )
6. Buddha said: Don't say it, don't say it, it is wrong to say it.
What can't be said refers to the Buddhist reality, which is one phase. The so-called no phase, so can't say, because also said.
Buddhism itself is boundless, there is no language to express or teach, everything is just self-awareness, so it can't be said or said. Buddhism believes that human language is limited and cannot express all the perceived things, especially profound philosophy. Once you put into language, you will lose the truth, and you will be out of phase and have no truth. Therefore, Zen advocates that "telling the truth without writing" is also rooted in this.
7. Buddha said: One thought of stupidity is prajnaparamita, and one thought of wisdom is prajnaparamita.
Prajna means "great wisdom" in Buddhism.
Foolish thoughts are prajnaparamita, while intellectual thoughts are prajnaparamita. It should be silly to think that wisdom disappears. When you think of wisdom, it means that wisdom is around you.
8. Buddha said: Bodhi has no trees, and it is not Taiwan in the mirror. There is nothing, so there is no dust.
There is no tree in the bodhi tree, and the bright mirror is not a table. It's nothing. What dust will catch it there?
First of all, talk about the origin of this poem.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Zen spread to the fifth ancestor, Master Hong Ren, who gave lectures in Huangmei, Hubei Province, with more than 500 disciples, especially the great disciple, Master Shen Xiu. Shen Xiu is also considered as the heir to the mantle of Zen Buddhism. Hongren was old and wanted to find an heir among his disciples, so he told his disciples that everyone should make a poem (a poem with Zen meaning), and whoever did it well would pass it on to him. At this time, Shen Xiu wanted to inherit the mantle, but she was afraid that doing it for the purpose of inheriting the mantle would violate the artistic conception of Buddhism doing nothing. So he got up in the middle of the night and wrote a song on the wall of the courtyard: the son is a bodhi tree and the heart is a mirror. Wipe frequently, and don't create dust. The meaning of Song Jizi is to take good care of your mind and state of mind at all times, and to resist external temptations and all kinds of evil spirits through constant practice. It is a mentality of joining the WTO, emphasizing the role of practice. Moreover, this understanding is not consistent with the epiphany of Zen Mahayana, so when everyone saw this poem (Ji) the next morning, they all agreed with one voice, guessing that it was made by Meixiu, and they were amazed. Hong Ren did not make any comments after seeing it. Because he knew that Shen Xiu had not had an epiphany.
At this time, when all the monks in the temple were talking about this poem, a monk named Master Huineng heard it in the kitchen. Huineng asked others to take him to see the girl. It should be noted here that Huineng is illiterate. He can't read. When he heard the story told by others, he said at that time that the man had not understood the true meaning. So he made another poem himself and asked others to write it next to that beautiful poem. Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. There is nothing in it, so there is no dust. With this poem, we can see that Huineng is a man of great wisdom (later, some people said that he was reincarnated as the tenth monk), and his poem accords with the idea of Zen epiphany. It is an attitude of being born, which mainly means that the world is empty and everything in the world is an empty word. If the heart is empty, there is no need to resist the temptation from the outside world. Everything passes by the heart without leaving a trace. This is a very high realm of Zen, and those who appreciate this realm are called enlightenment.
When Hongren saw this poem, he asked the people around him who wrote it. The people next to him said it was written by Huineng, so he called Huineng, said it was a mess in front of him and other monks, and said it was nonsense. He also erased the poem himself. Then he hit Huineng on the head three times and left. At this time, only Huineng understood the meaning of the Five Ancestors, so he came to Hongren's meditation room in the middle of the night, where Hongren explained to him one of the most important Buddhist classics, the Diamond Sutra, and handed it to him. Then, in order to prevent the honey trap from hurting Huineng, Huineng was allowed to escape overnight. So Huineng went south overnight, lived in seclusion 10, and founded Zen Nanzong in Shaolin Temple in Putian. The next day, when Shen Xiu learned about it, he sent someone to chase Huineng, but he didn't catch up. Later, Shen Xiu became the protector of the Liang Dynasty and founded the Northern Sect of Zen.
