At the beginning of A Dream of Red Mansions, a monk abandoned a stone to the Goddess of Heaven, saying that everything in the world is a lot of things, and then it becomes empty. However, this abandoned stone has become popular, begging monks to bring it to the world to experience it. The two grandfathers were very kind, so they obeyed his request and took him to a prosperous place to enjoy the gentle and happy blessing. So, the abandoned stone became Jia's baby brother and was born with Yu. On the surface, Baoyu got what he wanted and enjoyed everything that people in the world expected, but what happened later proved that he suffered from the gradual decline of the family and the disintegration of the group, while the big family in the past was destroyed as soon as there was drastic change, like a tree falling apart. As for Baoyu's fragrant flowers, they were all gone in smoke, and Wan Yan was equally sad. Baoyu's experience after he came to the world undoubtedly verified the enlightenment of the two great founders on the truth of life: what a good thing is soon empty when it is ground. Throughout the book, if we can understand the author's enlightenment, we can understand his foresight and kindness. There are many fans in the world, but prosperity and love between men and women are the key to life. The author wrote this wonderful book with a wonderful pen of flowers, which made people realize that life in the universe is empty after all. The flowers and plants in the first half are in sharp contrast with the red lonely atmosphere in the second half, which makes people have great wisdom of epiphany.
Second, good songs.
At the beginning of A Dream of Red Mansions, a strange article about Zhen Wudao was written, in which the literati felt the pain of life. When he was bored, the founder of Buddhism and Taoism floated up to him and sang to him: "Everyone knows that immortals are good, but fame cannot be forgotten;" Where will the past and present be? A pile of grass is gone. Everyone knows that immortals are good, but gold and silver can't forget them; In the end, I only hate getting together, but I close my eyes for a long time. Everyone knows that immortals are good, but only wives can't forget them; You said hello on your birthday, and you died with others. Everyone knows that immortals are good, but only children and grandchildren can't forget them; There have been many infatuated parents since ancient times. Who has seen filial piety? " Hearing this, Yin Shi realized that he had written a "Notes on Good Songs" at once. At the end of the note, he said, it is ridiculous to make a sound when you sing and I want to go on stage, but it is even more ridiculous to think that another country is your hometown. In the final analysis, it's all about making wedding clothes for others. So Dazu confirmed that he was enlightened and drifted away from him. Here, with the heart of a bodhisattva and the skill of a king kong, the author decomposes the fame, gold, silver, wife, children and grandchildren that the world is obsessed with, and shows the truth when it is gone. There is nothing to hinder this truth. We have a clear place where we can really settle down, that is, the hometown mentioned in Song's note, but the world would rather recognize other places as their hometown, and in the final analysis, they also believe that they will be cheated for a lifetime.
Third, funeral lyrics
Lin Daiyu, a talented woman in A Dream of Red Mansions, has a famous funeral poem. Many people like to look at it from the perspective of poetry appreciation. In fact, this poem is the author's macroscopic understanding of life in the universe. Flowers fade, ups and downs are impermanent, and there is not much left in spring. This short and illusory feeling can only be realized by deep and delicate eyes and sadness. "Once it is hard to find, the flowers will fall and people will die." People who wake up are happy to break the fan and get rid of the fetters.
Four, naked to worry-free.
Baoyu heard the phrase "come and go naked without care" in the opera, and suddenly realized that he was sad and happy. In retrospect, it's really boring to think of it. Zen is directed at people's hearts, seeing Buddha's nature, and a naked word comes and goes inadvertently, which has a great shock to Baoyu, making him lose his mind and see his true colors. But then, attracted by the outside world, this heart fell into climbing again, still rotating in the touch of sound, smell and fragrance. When you are happy, you are sad and you are upset. It can be seen that even if there is a unique opportunity to meet the true face, if the work is not done well, it will still fail. Therefore, only by recognizing the true nature of the truth and carefully protecting it can we live a comfortable life in rainy days. A Dream of Red Mansions exhorts the world earnestly, and the basic principle of its enlightenment is just as the Heart Sutra says: "Color is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from color; Color is empty, and empty is color. " In order to express emptiness, the author did not hesitate to use the illusory prosperity color. If readers can't show the truth with their eyes, they will be more obsessed with the mirror in the book because of the color Wukong. The cool bell of Ande Hanshan Temple awakens the dream world, and * * * ascends the realm. The author's bodhisattva heart is not to let all beings fall into a dense void after being blinded by color, but to let all beings face life with a more intelligent and detached attitude after realizing the truth of cosmic life, feel at ease with their fate, consciously realize him and share legal interests. As Master Yin Guang said, people who study Buddhism should do their best to avoid evil and protect righteousness, shoulder their own responsibilities, strive to be a good teacher, carry forward the infinite light and compassion of the Buddha, practice Purdue Buddhism, and achieve a perfect and complete life realm.
