Wang Anshi, a native of Linchuan (now Linchuan District, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province), was a famous thinker, politician, writer and reformer in the Northern Song Dynasty. He pushed for political reform all his life, was reused twice, and was suppressed by conservatives when he was in high spirits. It can be described as ups and downs. If he can't maintain a detached attitude in such changes, he can't face such changes.
Wang Anshi's daughter is very talented. When she was an adult, she married far away and missed her family and relatives very much. She was worried, so she sent a poem to her father to express her love for her. There are two sentences: I hate the mountains and rivers, and I look at the yellow flowers according to the past and tears.
after Wang Anshi received the poem, he personally copied a copy of the Shurangama Sutra, the top of the Giant Buddha, and sent it to his beloved daughter, encouraging her to let go of her grief and concern, so that she could learn from the Buddhism the dream of reaching the various ends, and understand and accept the impermanence of the world like a dream bubble. where will you go is the truth with a fantastic origin. I look forward to her daughter's spiritual wisdom of Shurangama Sutra, and turn her thoughts into the driving force for practicing Buddhism.
In addition, I wrote a famous poem "Poems for Women": A little blue light reflects the window screen, so that I can read the truth and remember my family. It's like a dream to realize the fate, and there is only a wonderful lotus in the world.
This poem shows a true and touching story of a father leading his daughter into Buddhism. Let my daughter find the most thorough, the most complete and the most complete ultimate destination in the great wisdom of Buddhism. Wang Anshi's move is a great wisdom among fathers in ancient and modern times. It is especially valuable to truly and thoroughly love and educate his children, which is worth pondering and learning from contemporary people!
Also in Song Dynasty, a Zen master who had no door to open his mind had a case, and based on this case, he wrote a poem "Ode to the common mind is the Tao": there are flowers in spring, there is a moon in autumn, there is a cool breeze in summer and there is snow in winter, and it is a good time on earth if you don't mind your own business.
This poem teaches the world that four seasons have four beautiful seasons. Don't miss the flowers in spring in winter, don't miss the snow in winter in summer, let go of your business and experience the beauty of the present, then every day is a good time.
Buddhism teaches people not only to be kind, but also to let themselves go. This is precisely the mentality that many young people who are struggling in their careers need at present. Only in this way will they feel happier and have less troubles.
