"Poetry of Emptiness and Emptiness" Buddhism
The flesh turns into bones and mud in the breeze, walking south to north, west to east, and the floating life is always empty, the sky is empty, the earth is also empty, Life is lost in it. The sun is empty, the moon is also empty, who is responsible for rising in the east and falling in the west? The fields are empty, the earth is also empty? How many protagonists have been changed. Gold is also empty, silver is also empty, never shook hands after death, power is also empty, name is also empty, in the blink of an eye there is a handful of soil in the wilderness.
The wife is also empty, the son is also empty, it is difficult to meet each other on the road to hell, the love is also empty, the love is also empty, each has a different future. Walking west in the morning and east in the evening, life is like a flower-gathering bee. After gathering hundreds of flowers into nectar, all the hard work is in vain.
If you can’t see through it and can’t figure it out, it’s like a pheasant locking its cage. In the Tripitaka, form is empty, and in the Prajna Sutra, form is empty. When I turn my mind beyond the three realms, I pick up flowers and smile, and the Buddha’s mind is enlightened.
Extended information
This poem explains life in a cold style. Tear the side that people least want to hear and see in front of others. It starts from common phenomena such as land, gold and silver, fame and fortune, family, love, etc., analyzes them one by one, and comes to the same conclusion - "all hard work is in vain".
Indeed, humans only live for a few decades on this earth, and even if they live a hundred years, they only last for thirty-six thousand days. Compared with the mountains, rivers, earth, sun, moon, and stars that have existed for billions of years, , is still a short moment. The laws of nature tell us that everything that lives must die. From the moment we are born, the train of life is rushing towards the terminal station of death.
No matter how much we extend our lives, we will all be buried in a pile of grass; no matter how much material wealth we have, we will still be empty-handed on the road to hell. "Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its time. The snake rides on the mist and will eventually become ashes." Cao Cao had a clear understanding of this more than a thousand years ago. Perhaps, this was the reason why he wrote a poem "On the occasion of wine" "Song, the Geometry of Life",
Lamented the reason why great achievements have not been accomplished and time is fleeting. The lyrics, "Life is just a drama. Why should we care too much about grievances and grievances? Fame and fortune! What are they? If they are not brought with them in life, they will not be taken away with them in death."
Buddhists are indifferent to fame and wealth and look down on material wealth. In the eyes of Buddhists, fame, fortune, house and property and other external things are just passing smoke, fleeting, and not worth pursuing diligently. This is their ancient temple in the mountains. , Common people eat rough food and feel at ease. No wonder Jigong in the TV series is cheerful even though he is dressed in rags.
The singing voice is loud and clear: "My shoes are torn, my hat is torn, my cassock is torn. You laugh at me, he laughs at me, my fan is broken. There is no Amitabha Buddha, there is no Amitabha Buddha." ; Namo Amitabha,? Namo Amitabha. Hey-? Hey-? Hey-no troubles, no worries, no sorrows, and seeing through all the hardships of the world..."
What Buddhism emphasizes is. Practice quietly and reach the other shore early. "The Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita" says: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after walking in the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, he will see that the five aggregates are all empty, and he will survive all the hardships. ... Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, because of the Prajna Paramita, his mind will not be hindered. , "No hindrance". No fear, stay away from upside-down dreams, ultimate nirvana.
"Buddhism pursues "seeing through and letting go", that is, "seeing through everything, letting go of everything to become the Tathagata." . Therefore, they can see through everything and see everything in vain, endure all kinds of rebellion, poverty, humiliation and resentment, put an end to all kinds of troubles, and enjoy peace of mind and happiness.
