A detailed explanation of Wang Anshi's Zen poem Dream

1. Explanation: This empty heart has nothing to send, just like dying with a dream in a dream. Then your pursuit of penance and seeking Buddha is just gravel at the bottom of the river, and those so-called merits are just empty dreams and nothing.

Life is like a dream, we can't have too many desires, so our hearts will be calm. Since you are in a certain environment, you should accept it frankly. Only by letting nature take its course and wanting nothing can we get the truth of the world and achieve infinite merit.

Wang Song Anshi

Knowing the world is like a dream, with nothing to ask for and an empty heart.

Just like chasing a dream in a dream, it has achieved the merits of a river and sand dream.
