If clouds can come down from a high place, they will nourish the drought seedlings; if they cannot come down from a high place, they will show off their posture. "The best is like water. Water benefits all things without fighting." Clouds can only be practical if they come down from a high place and turn into water. Otherwise, posturing and competing will be in vain, and in the end it will be in vain. "Thousands of actions and phenomena are still in vain", which will mislead others and themselves. This shows the importance of good roots (indisputable virtue).
The rain that saves drought always comes from the clouds. Some clouds cannot see their own value and underestimate themselves. It can be seen that wisdom (self-knowledge) is also very important.
No matter whether we mislead others or ourselves or others, in the end we never have the intention to save suffering (compassion). "The endless drought is about to dry up the seedlings." If Yun could be moved, he would naturally not "create strange peaks leisurely."
Teacher Nan Huaijin’s book said that regarding water, Confucianism is “diligence is beneficial to life”, Taoism is “humility is beneficial to health”, and Buddhism is “holy purity without life”. If the clouds do not come down and become water, then "thousands of lines and phenomena will be empty". If you cannot be humble and nourish your health, then "the mountain pieces will be hidden in the reflection of the water". It is beneficial to life.
If you are humble and nourish your health (good roots) and the holy and pure non-life (wisdom), you will eventually be able to work hard to benefit life, and will not let the "infinite drought seedlings wither".
I really want to imitate Tao Yuanming and add a subtitle to this poem: Yun, the one who saves the suffering.
Thousands of things are still empty,————What are you busy with?
The film Yingshui Zangshan is repeated. -----------Endless embellishments.
Infinite drought, the seedlings are about to dry up, and ----------- I look around and look around.
There are strange peaks in a leisurely place. ----unattainable.
