"What happens above the spring sun"
It is good to read the biographies of eminent monks, and always look for ways to live without grains.
The dove-shaped will be carved with a stick, and the turtle shell will be used to support the bed.
Willows are reflected in the green mountains, and pear blossoms are hidden in the evening birds.
Under the peaches and plums by the north window, I sit and burn incense.
Appreciation:
This poem records an aspect of the poet's life, and also allows readers to see that his good Buddha is no lie. The last sentence says "sit idle but burn incense", which is obviously zazen. Volume 1 of "Wu Deng Hui Yuan" records Kassapa's deeds: "One day when the Venerable stepped on the mud, a novice saw him and asked the Venerable: "How can I do it for myself?" The man said: "If I don't do it, who will? What do I do? '" It can be seen that Zen requires personal experience and focuses on personal realization, so sitting meditation is also necessary. Didn't Bodhidharma just "sit facing the wall and remain silent all day long" in Songshan Shaolin Temple? After the rise of Southern Zen, the emphasis was on directly pointing to the source of the mind and achieving enlightenment. Sitting in meditation was often regarded only as a means and not considered to be very important. Huineng once said, "The Tao is understood by the heart, how can it be done while sitting?" "The words.
Although the poet Wang Wei had a profound understanding of Southern Zen, he did not deny the Northern Zen’s meditation skills. "The Biography of Wang Wei" in Volume 190 of "Old Book of Tang" says that he "lived in the capital with more than a dozen monks every day and enjoyed mystical talks. There was nothing in the house except a tea pot, medicine mortar, and a rope bed for sutra cases. He retired from the court. After that, he burned incense and sat alone, doing meditation and recitation." This is a vivid description of his living conditions. In his poems, he either described himself as "the day of love has faded, and the day of meditation has become solid" (Part 3 of "Six Poems by Occasionally Written"), or praised his friends "if you want to know that if you sit in Zen for a long time, your journey will be full of spring fragrance" ("Guo Fu") "Zen Master Lan Ruo"), and endorses a life of isolation from the world: "Although you are in contact with other people, you will become a hermit after closing the door" ("Jeju Passing Zhao Sou's Family Banquet"); "The idle door is closed, and the setting sun shines on the autumn grass" ( "Three Ode to the Ancestor"); "It rains lightly in the Qingyin Pavilion, and it blooms in the daytime in the deep courtyard" ("Book of Things"), which also proves this point.
