Even if there is a golden hair in the cloud, it looks unlucky.
"Dojo" is the location of the Buddha and the place where the Buddha speaks. There are four famous Buddhist mountains in China. The four famous mountains are the four Dojo: Putuo Mountain is the Guanyin Bodhisattva Dojo, Jiuhua Mountain is the Tibetan Bodhisattva Dojo, Wutai Mountain is the Manjusri Bodhisattva Dojo, and Emei Mountain is the Bodhisattva Dojo.
At that time, monk Chen Cong wanted to go to Wutai Mountain to seek Buddha. At this time, a monk said meaningfully to Chen Cong, "Which castle peak in the world is not a monastery Dojo? Why do you have to go to Liang Qing (Wutai Mountain) to worship with employees? Even if you see Manjushri riding a golden lion in the clouds of Wutai Mountain, you will not be lucky if you look with your eyes. " Say that finish, the monk casually recited a poem "letters patent":
Where is the castle peak without Dojo? Why should employees be cold?
Even if there is a golden hair in the cloud, it looks unlucky.
The world is very big, and there are green hills everywhere. Which castle peak is not a place to practice Buddhism and realize enlightenment? Where is there no Manjusri Bodhisattva in Qingshan? According to Buddhism, the nature of Buddha is self-centered, and it is spread all over the world. Even in the room, on the sofa, as long as you are clear-headed, it is the Dojo. Why do you insist on finding Manjusri Bodhisattva only when you reach Wutai Mountain?
Buddha is in my heart. If you are too persistent, your heart will die and become ethereal, just like the transcendence and relaxation of Zen Buddhism. If you are too persistent, your mind will be cemented. Even if you come to Wutai Mountain and see the Golden Lion and Manjusri Bodhisattva, it is not a good thing, because it will only stifle your vision and limit your interest.
Buddhism is everywhere and Zen is everywhere. Enlightenment is Zen, honesty is Buddha, Buddha and Zen are not outside, but in the heart; The outside world is Wutai Mountain, and the phenomenon is that Manjusri Bodhisattva appears riding a golden lion. Between external phenomena and internal noumenon, ontological Zen is the first; If you put the Dojo and Bodhisattva outside first, you leave Buddha and Zen, and there is no inversion. It seems close, but in fact it is farther.
Therefore, anyone who has an ethereal Zen in his heart is allowed to wander wherever he goes, and the green hills are everywhere, nothing more than the Dojo; Otherwise, even if you worship Buddha every day, your heart will be persistent and all aspects will be hindered. What does it have to do with Zen Buddhism?
This is really "when the green hills are absent, there is another village", and the key is still between thoughts. At that time, you will get the freedom and freedom of life.
There are flowers in spring and moons in autumn.
It's cool in summer and snowy in winter.
If you don't mind your own business.
It's a wonderful time on earth.
These four poems were originally written by Wu Men Hui Kai, a Zen master in the Song Dynasty, and recorded in his book Wu Men Guan, which commented on the case-solving of ancient Zen.
This poem has the flavor of high mountains and flowing water, and some people can understand it at first sight. Zen pays attention to epiphany, and this poem also presents a gesture of pointing fingers at the ignorant to some extent. Mind your own business, that is, worry. The key is whether we can find the way to the romantic realm in any environment. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, of course, there are other things besides romance, depending on where your eyes naturally look. A hundred flowers bloom in spring, a cool breeze blows gently in summer, a bright moon is in the sky in autumn, and it is snowy in winter. Wind, flowers, snow and the moon can symbolize open-mindedness in different periods, that is, enlightened people can remain calm and calm.
