"Stick to drink dam up" the story of the history of Chinese Buddhism from the famous Zen story. Talking about practice Zen Buddhist disciples chanting, in the rod knock, Duanhe under their senses and suddenly see the light of the situation.
Duan He is the founder of House of Tang Dynasty, Hebei Rinzai Zen Master Yi Xuan, his finger and alarming crack of enormous amounts of bile to enlightenment disciples; and contemporary mountain homes in Hunan Yi Kam De Zen Master then punch with a wooden stick to make disciple of enlightenment.
This is what I have heard the story in the Cold Mountain Temple.
Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows through the outside the city of Suzhou. The river Cold Mountain Temple, because of Zhang's song "The Maple Bridge at Night," while legendary. Shan Xian name, Buddha human transmission. Perhaps this door miss Gao Ren, which in the Buddhist community, far less fame far and wide.
Heart disease when there is no practice Zen Buddhism asked, it is a very high level. Everyman, as I had the general not very sick, we would not think of looking for the Buddha's feet hold the temporary one.
A very early age to go Hanshan Temple, want to see a child printed on the mind of "small bridge, berthing," looks like. However, come the morning of March 19, and finally into the Terakado, I realize that the night before, monasteries and hold me in right, only it can be seen standing outside the picture. People in middle age, to see some unexpected scenery is needed.
I actually wanted to come to practice Zen's.
Lost in the Buddhist world welcome to the people. Dial fog each day, Trek Purdue's Buddhist, generous compassion. It is a busy food and clothing mayfly-like beings, which help advance and retreat between the object of gain or loss.
Enter the Terakado, I found myself as a patient to a hospital in Hong Huoliao around the atmosphere, feeling there was treatment of two-thirds. Buddha asked more and more irrepressible desire to want to be themselves the Lost is a long time.
People in a separate temple of the Buddha, when faced with inevitable that some paranoid, and we face the Buddha, the Buddha would feel omnipotent. At this point, the sun shines, the temple bustling pilgrims, without exception, harbor awe.
But I still want to go to my Buddha.
Tripitaka Hall in general is relatively deserted. But here is a Buddha attracted me. This is what I have never seen in other temples of the most vivid statue. His face solemn, transcendent wisdom, magnanimity. I think I really ill, and went so far as his calm, no desire emergent jealousy, so that hands could not resist touching his feet. Found that he is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, hollow, could not help but have a bit disappointed.
Everywhere in the temple notice of Zen masters say, is Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Because of departure, I can not wait that long, and asked Sister booklet distributed Buddhist if I can meet with individual and master, help me enlightenment.
She patiently explained to me why not, "because every day they give students lectures, too busy to. Where Buddhist College opened several classes." She was talking about our reading of the two young monk, "they are trainees. "
Less than self-cultivation, it seems I just missed the chance to meet with a Zen master. Hopeless Zhidianmijin, still some frustration. The I looked bitterly looked, but saw the picture of spring school of the sun covered with monasteries, all things Su-sheng, Yourenruzhi.
Transcend the earthly aid do?
Finally, the participants of the exercises column, I read such a story:
Young Zen Master Tokuyama gas proud heart, not happy with the South Monastery, "see the nature of Buddha, directed at heart" in Buddhism in preparation for a debate south.
He went to Hunan, Li Yang, an old woman to the street to buy snacks. Did not think elderly people, he said, "The heart was not in the past, and now the heart is not in the future, not in the heart. I ask what point is the master mind ah?" Should Kam surprised when the next jump to abandon the debate, look for local Longquan Monastery in order to enlightenment.
The first few days, Longquan Zen Master does not care about him, and have loved not see. Then one day late, should Kam ready to go back, look outside the black one, he Zen Master said, "was too dark outside."
Zen Master is not language, for his side over a lamp. When appropriate Kam was about to take over, thought Zen breath blew out the lights. ------ Yi Kam Yi Zheng, insight.
Came back from the Cold Mountain Temple, or in the Lost Village unable to extricate themselves. Until one day, and a friend chatted Tokuyama the story of Zen master and lights before suddenly felt eyes bright, Wu had.
