In Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi
Everyone went crazy in the summer,
The unique Zen master didn't leave the room.
but there is no heat in the meditation room?
but being calm means being cold.
Bai Juyi's method of summer vacation is quite interesting and philosophical. The so-called calm mind is naturally cool. Compared with other people's discomforts in summer, Xiangshan laymen are much calmer and full of creativity. However, there are also shortcomings, that is, the realm requirements are too high, which is very human.
Poem of Enlightenment
Yang Miaoxi in Song Dynasty
He searched for spring all day, but he didn't see it,
He walked all over Longtou Cloud with his sandals.
When you come back, smile and smell the plum blossoms.
Spring is already on the branches.
The whole poem describes the experience of trying hard to find spring, but finally getting it by accident, so as to illustrate the experience of enlightenment. Nature's wonderful way was originally above people's hearts, but people didn't find it, so all outward efforts were in vain. The more persistent you are, the more different you are.
The last words of Master Hongyi
Li Shutong (Hongyi) in the Republic of China
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
it's a thousand miles away to follow the image.
when I asked Yu what he wanted, Kuo 'er forgot to say anything.
master hongyi is a literary genius, and his songs are sung all over the world. After becoming a monk, I don't write secular words, I don't leave the Buddha's mouth, and I don't leave my pen. These two last words are really four-character quatrains. The two songs have different rhymes and different meanings. The first is about the friendship between gentlemen, and the second is about your own feelings. Do not cling to life and death, everything is in harmony, optimism shows silence, and it is fully understood.
