"Q: Four Hills onslaught, how?
Division goes: access roads are Zhaozhou. "
Perhaps there are too many questions about life, no solution, too much bitter ineffable, too much joy, waiting, eager and anxious moments in the most enthusiastic, no sharing, there are too many situations, with the "Four Hills onslaught" strikingly similar .
Soul exports, in a very contemporary and modern, it becomes extremely important.
Then one day in a dynasty, Zhaozhou Zen monk temple in Berlin, said: access roads are Zhaozhou.
Every Word Abas, or implied a very profound Zen, or the wisdom of the empty and non-speculative, I was vulgar woman, naturally unknowable. However, note from Zhaozhou, because the word into a blind alley, repeatedly YR eyes, and a long time get rid of.
So one day in June, I took my three young people in their early 20s, to Zhaozhou, to Berlin, Temple, to listen to - Zen said.
Early lessons - beautiful to look at
Hisai city and the lazy me, never to be sleeping until noon, the so-called "natural Awakening" type Happiness is not unusual, when the chef said Lee Sing 4:30 am to go to hall for morning classes, 4:00 get up, I am prepared at heart, or one can not help but shiver with fear, then, a dream to be going on, right?
4 am cell phone played ming, on the wound and jumped up four rubbing Xingzhong sleepy eyes, take advantage of the pre-dawn darkness of that period of time, walked toward the Basilica. Along the way monks, lay continually, black, and yellow robes, the rapid pace of disorder but in no way, and accompanied by upright figure, are silently marching tirelessly towards the same direction.
There was ablaze with lights, through the lattice window lattice hall, in the Dianwai, and threw the warm golden light everywhere. The door sensor, two-story building that houses the open hall, magnificent, inside of early lay quiet standing male passenger in the right form two female passengers in the left square, and we quietly forward, look for a suitable place settled.
As early as classes are very grand, silent monks out into the column, followed by stops well, and we salute with the monk, leaning over, stand up, their prayers for me as I fugue. Halfway through, all the early Middle class people have to face, in the monk standing under the leadership of the phalanx around their line of walk around, hit the bell with the crisp sound of wind around the metal in the ear, and numerous yellow walking in my drooping eye before the crossing, and each time gently lifting or landing, are driven as if the soul of that body, along with a floor to think of the empty and non-realm. All of a sudden sorrowful, the pursuit of eternal faith heavy enough to crush material desires, even our lives can be discarded at any time. That Red Dust Is it because our hearts are still confined to the suffering of the shackles of materialism? Monk industry sector can be vulgar, who state clearly whether the definition of eternity?
The dust has settled, around the circle, I was back to earlier position. To continue to salute, looking, stand up and chant, and take God's gap steal a glance outside the night retreat, the sun is not thoroughly murky light up the main door of light and the sun showing harmony clear, deep hall, the monks remained silent li, chant read.
At 6 o'clock, as early as the end of class, we have the best team at the end, move forward and monks behind me a 1 to turn off the lights behind them so step by step into a solemn silence, while the eyes, it is in the early morning sun red tile cornices, jiu ming birds circling the wings, everything is beautiful to look at.
Tips:
1, Zhaozhou Berlin, near the temple is located in Shijiazhuang, was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a monk is now the auspices of the net-hui put forward the "Living Zen" concept, the Zen spirit, into the realm of life, embodies a Zen mood and style, any interested a friend could come to the temple, "for lodging," and can enjoy free of charge plain room.
2, train to Shijiazhuang, a station across the street, "California Beef Noodle" in the vicinity take three cars to China coach Lu Station (fare 1 yuan), buy a ticket to the Zhaoxian (fare 7 yuan), will allow vehicles to stop Temple entrance in Berlin.
3, Zhaozhou Berlin Temple can provide accommodation, each 10 yuan, shelter known as the cloud water floor, usually three human, there is hot water, a single cold air-conditioning, female public places two-story, places a layer of male guests, paste the stairs the "male public against public housing," the words.
4, into the hall, if the body near the door on the left, we must first lift the left foot, if the right foot towards the right side of the first lift, I do not know the origin of the rules, but in receiving our Master so exhorted, it is very carefully lift knee; in the hall for morning or late in class, attitude to serious and strictly forbidden laughter rumbling around here waiting to see, the basic respect should be done. If you kneel before not suited to traditional etiquette, simply do not enter the hall.
Plain room - hungry to eat
Zhaozhou Berlin, the largest temple gives me the feeling is the inclusion of blocking the door without ticket, plain room completely open to those who go to those who do not stay unsolicited aloofness, so he has the distinctive posture and demeanor.
One day, the most solemn Zhaifan of course ought to breakfast after the morning lessons. Male public walk on the right door, female public walk on the left door and not allowed to whisper into the canteen, after more shouting allowed, followed by sitting in long Muban Deng, when the Master when they enter the main entrance from the dining hall, all rose to pay tribute. Master sit down before we sit down, and then chanting along with the Master. Finished by the concentrated thought as "five views", mainly the general content and keep in mind Zhaifan not come easily, seriously reflect on their own self-cultivation, today's serious or not, and remind ourselves to enjoy a meal does not yield to the temptation of delicious food and so on. "Five view" can start only after the end of a meal.
Placed before each of the two big Hai Wan and a pair of chopsticks, cuisine style is very rich, there are many varieties of staple food, all meals are free to add, but definitely not a waste, and even soup, cooking master will ask you to drink . The meal is still to remain quiet and promise a large dining hall, only the sound of bowl touch with the desktop, as well as back and forth to view the dynamic and static master Da Fan.
We sat on the stool strip, with life has never been serious in dealing with a bowl of food, but my mind was also pleasantly surprised to praise, had known the plain room so delicious, would not be before they come to brush up wedge of sheep!
After dinner, we must once again chanting, and to salute the master of cooking, thanks and respect for, food from many people's labor and the loss of many lives, the ceremony is to thank them, and urged his time with the inscription carries a heart of thanksgiving .
Suddenly remembered an allusion, Huihai Master monk answered on the "monastic how studious" doubts, said that "hunger to eat, sleep on the sleep." Implying that if it refuses to concentrate on eating a meal there are 100 kinds of thinking, sleeping offer all kinds of fuss about it and refuses to sleep, they can not achieve "studious" realm, in my understanding, it seems they want to eat sleep, reduced to the minimum essential to meet the stage, not hungry when you eat matter whether they are not awake when the storm no harm done, only to think about life this is really to be able to with those fleeting moments before the value of the match.
Tips:
1, male and female public access to canteen door, we must each take the right, left door, can not arbitrarily take the Master had the main entrance.
2, breakfast time, roughly half an hour, we must grasp the good time, do not read the end of Master Chung scripture about when to panic in big mouth and swallowed up too late to eat the meal, we did not master the time, so just asked Master scoop a tablespoon and warm rice soup when he heard the beginning song in front of Master read, so he had to within half a minute regardless of the temperature and the grace to be poured into a large bowl Reyuyangbo, really painful.
3, the distance Li Zhaozhou Berlin temple design Zhaozhou Bridge close, on the introduction here, has a primary school textbooks, along with the myth, one of the Eight Immortals torrent! Say this year is the bridge into the penny, it is to let people aspire to. From Berlin to the temple about 34 kilometers away from Zhaozhou Bridge looked, sitting a local van to the money 1 yuan per person, tickets 25 yuan, basically, after Kanjia could buy two get one free, or even buy one get one free, unfortunately this the entrance ticket price index of the relationship between people's emotions is very large, almost no laws to follow. Holders of valid student card holders of retirement certificates free of charge. According to my feelings, do not be it. Our naked eyes to the concept of the bridge, many of which are modern concrete.
Meditation and the theory of law - and go straight up
Meditation is the soul of aerobic exercise, through the breakdown of the method of breath, exercise their concentration and endurance. With imagination assertion, it is certainly a wonderful feeling, all the thoughts gathered in the atmosphere of the inventory, the completely selfless and input.
Putian Pavilion extremely quiet, the sun coming in windows transparent people Huangruogeshi, the Master sat opposite to practice quietly talk about the first 15 minutes, he gently knocked three under the wooden fish, which means meditation began.

After meditation, in the quiet Putian House Lane continue to work with the Master "On the Law", in fact, called "for advice," be more precise, the Master explained in simple explanation, "Zen living" concept, we will be thinking of life and confusion speak out solving. Or controversy, or confusion, or suddenly enlightened, when the Master of "up and good deeds" for the final remarks, I also understand that hard work, being indifferent to, change, compassion is the best comment that the words, we are inevitably lazy and opportunities will be missed, we do not know the pain of being indifferent to the desire will sink, we are stubborn arrogance Therefore, the use refuses to admit, we therefore lose his mind the wisdom of compassion, so that this world began to indifference to alienation ... ...
