Poems about Buddha and God 1. Poems about God and Buddha

"Ye" The body is like a bodhi tree, and the heart is like The mirror stand should be wiped diligently at all times to prevent it from attracting dust. "Ye" There is no tree in the Bodhisattva, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in it, so it can attract dust.

One day, the Fifth Patriarch called all the disciples to come: " I say to you, life and death are major matters in this world. You only seek the field of blessings all day long, and do not seek to escape from the sea of ??suffering of life and death. If your own nature is confused, how can you save your blessings? Each composed a verse and presented it to me. If you understand the general idea, I will give you the Dharma and make you the sixth generation ancestor."

Everyone was waiting for Shenxiu to compose a verse, but Shenxiu secretly wrote a verse on the wall and said: < /p>

"The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand. I always brush it diligently to prevent it from attracting dust."

The Fifth Patriarch ordered his disciples to burn incense and recite this verse in reverence. But my dear He told Shenxiu: "When you wrote this verse, you didn't see your true nature. You only went outside the door, not inside the door. With such a view, you can't find the supreme Bodhi."

Although Huineng is illiterate, he can't read. After hearing this verse, I realized that I have not seen my true nature. The entruster also wrote a verse saying:

"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the beginning, so how can it cause dust."

Everyone was shocked. The Fifth Patriarch polished his shoes and said, "I haven't seen my nature either."

The next day, the Patriarch sneaked to the Tui Fang, struck the Tui three times with his staff, and left. Hui Neng then entered the room with three drums. The Fifth Patriarch covered the area with his cassock so that no one could see him, and started to preach the Diamond Sutra. When he reached the point where "the mind should have no place to live," Hui Neng suddenly realized that all dharmas are inseparable from oneself. Nature.

Then the ancestors said: “Whenever the self-nature is, it is inherently pure; Shaken; when will the self-nature be able to give rise to all things?"

At the third watch, no one knew the Dharma, so he spread the teaching and the mantle.

This poem by Shenxiu represents the Hinayana. The ideological and artistic conception of Buddhism.

The body is a bodhi tree, which means that our body should be like a bodhi tree, maintain an upright posture, and continue to practice diligently.

The mind is like a mirror stand, It compares our heart to a mirror. If it is stained by dust, it will not be clear.

Wipe it frequently to avoid dust. The literal meaning is that the mirror must be wiped constantly to avoid being contaminated. Dust. It means that we must continue to practice diligently and maintain a peaceful state of mind in order to restore our original mind and achieve enlightenment.

The first two sentences of the poem are about physical and mental practice, and the last two sentences are the results of practice. , understand the mind and see the nature. Hinayana Buddhism pays attention to one's own hard work and practice, and becomes a Buddha by seeing one's nature. The Hinayana's idea is that the original mind is the Buddha. These are reflected in Shenxiu's poems.

And " Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the beginning, so how can it cause dust." This highlights the ideological and artistic conception of Mahayana Buddhism.

Bodhi originally refers to the Bodhi tree, and Bodhi has no tree. It denies the tangible essence of the bodhi tree. The mirror is not a stand, and it also denies the tangible essence of the mirror stand. These two sentences mean that Bodhi is in your heart, and the mirror is just your heart. Whether it is the bodhi tree or the mirror stand, Well, originally it was all empty. Originally there was nothing, so where could it be like dust? This means that since everything is originally empty, how can it be contaminated with dust? Dust is also empty! The artistic conception of this poem is that it is completely empty, everything is empty, even the original mind and nature of Hinayana are empty.

These two poems have become a good story in the history of Buddhism. Everyone generally agrees I think that Huineng's poems have higher understanding and deeper realm. From a realm perspective, it feels like this, but Huineng's poems feel so empty and incomprehensible. But Shenxiu's poems embody true cultivation and enlightenment, giving people A more down-to-earth feeling. Maybe this is the difference between Hinayana and Mahayana.

The moon shadow in the water is in the mirror, where does the water and moon mirror appear?

Which is false and which is true? Please ask me about the person in the mirror.

In the city, there is a girl wearing pearls, He Shanshan. Parrots are playing in front of the flowers, and the pipa is playing under the moon.

The long song is played in March, and the short dance is played by thousands of people. Look, it may not look like this, hibiscus is not cold-resistant.

The peach blossoms are about to go through summer, and the wind and moon cannot wait. When I visited the Han Dynasty, no one was there.

Every morning the flowers moved down, People change it year by year. Where the dust rises today, it was the sea in the past.

Some people call the toon tree white sandalwood. When learning the Tao, there are many sands, and a few will get mud pills.

Abandoning gold but carrying grass, he is also arrogant. It is like gathering sand in one place, and it is difficult to form a ball.

Even if there is an iron threshold for a thousand years, it will eventually be a piece of earthen bread.

What is the most embarrassing thing in the world, it is all three ways to commit sin. If you don’t learn from the Dolomites, your life will be a cold one.

When autumn comes, the leaves of other forests will fall, and when spring comes, your trees will bloom. The three worlds sleep horizontally. Nothing, the bright moon and the clear breeze are my home.

My body is like a bodhi tree,

My mind is like a mirror stand.

Brush it diligently all the time,

Don't stir up dust.

The bodhi tree is not a tree.

The mirror is not a stand.

There is nothing in the beginning.

Where is it? Stirring up dust.

Seek to be at ease without being at ease, and get at ease naturally;

Understand that the Tathagata thinks of the Tathagata, but it is not the Tathagata. Tathagata.

Extended information:

Worshiping Buddha has four levels of meaning:

1. Inductive worship: In order to pray for the blessings of Buddha and Bodhisattva, grant luck, and avoid disasters, pray for Thank you for your kindness.

2. Respectful worship: Respectful to the Three Jewels, or out of gratitude and reverence. This kind of worship is spontaneous and sincere from the heart.

3. Penitential worship: that is, praying for repentance. People who can perform confessional prayers must already be humble, or are learning to be humble. Therefore, confessional prayers can improve a person's personality, change his temperament, and make him gentle and humble

4 2. Phaseless worship: Phaseless worship is worshiping without asking for anything, and it is divided into three levels. At first, you know that you are praying, you experience every movement of praying, and you direct your body to pray; when you enter the second level, you know that you are praying, you experience that you are praying, but the commanding heart is no longer there;

6. What are the poems describing "Buddha statues"

Please discuss Daolin Yueluzhong and Kun, Zhuo Nao in order. . After walking on the clouds for two thousand steps, I finally saw the big house with three doors. The spring is clear, or the dragon's cave is played, and the halls are full and the sails are lifted. Nowadays, the sounds of strange birds are constantly heard, and the flowers blooming in spring are more abundant when I hear the road. If you are calm and calm, your temples can be smooth. Ingratiating himself with the noble Hou Bo, he worshiped the Buddha statue and became more respected. I bowed to the emperor for a moment and shed tears, and tried to clear his soul with Qu Jia. The absurd big tree is covered with nangui, and the withered grass is covered with orchids and sunflowers. The novice monk goes to learn the five-seal calligraphy, and the quiet girl comes to hang a thousand-foot banner. The master's eyes are dim when he thinks of me, and the order comes in the middle of the night. Although I can get on the white boat when I return late, I dare not speak to Lu Zun. The two temples are full of treasures, and Du Fu is so kind in the wall. In the evening, the brilliance is even brighter, and the pen is as strong as it can be swallowed.
