Chapter 96 praise

Master Taixu once gave a verse to Master Hongyi, saying: "Seal the heart with teaching, tighten the body with discipline, and clean the inside and outside, which is the cause of Bodhi." Zhao Puchu commented on Master Hongyi's life: "I am deeply saddened that La Traviata appeared early, and I hope to become an ascetic monk in the end. Countless rare treasures are offered to the eyes of the world, and a bright moon shines on the heart of heaven." Master Xia Mianzun and Wan Hongyi said: "Changing Nirvana and writing verses to each other, the old two forget each other, and the enthusiasm responds to the tiger roaring in the stream; Xu Sapo will come again with her vows, and the Yiren will be there, and the sky will look at the sunset."

My good friend Ye Qingyan pulled Master Hongyi and said: "I sigh that my father has practiced the Sangha aspirations all his life, and strives for perfection. He can be said to be meticulous in every detail; I believe that the feelings and lessons learned by people from all walks of life in Wenling today should be like thousands of rivers." Yinyue, Wanmu welcomes spring." Master Hongyi's vulgar nephew, Li Jinzhang, asked Master Hongyi to say: "Incense has a karmic relationship, and the teachings have been passed down for a long time, and they are only a few years old.

Li Shutong's speeches and mottos are praised by Liang Shiqiu, Lin Yutang and others as "a single word is a thousand catties", and it is worth spending a lifetime to understand quietly. Feng Zikai commented on the artistic career of his teacher Li Shutong, saying: "He has almost traveled all the fields of literature and art." Feng Zikai wrote in the article "My Teacher Li Shutong": "Master Hongyi changed from Mr. Pianpian to an overseas student, then to a teacher, to a Taoist, and to a monk four times. Every kind of person is different. Very presentable. It’s like an all-round actor: from the old student to the old student, from the young student to the young student, from the big face to the big face... It’s all for the 'true' reason, which explains the first characteristic of Mr. Li’s personality."

Feng Zikai said: "I admire Master Hongyi because he is a 'very human-like person'. At the beginning, when one is a human being, he never wanted to be a very 'human' person; but later, because of the environment Obstacles, habits, material desires, delusions, often can not be very "human", six points like a "human", is also worthy of praise; even five points like a "human", it is rare in the recent society It's a 'high-class person'. There are very few people like Master Hongyi who are very 'human' in the past and present. So I admire them very much. I myself want to be very good, but in fact I don't do much like it' People's people, so I really dare not praise such a noble and great personality as Master Hongyi."

Someone asked Master Hongyi's student Cao Juren: "A teacher like you, Master Hongyi, is enough for training? Or is it not enough for training?" Cao replied: "As loyal to his beliefs as he is, he is a 'human teacher'. It is enough to teach. His teachers, friends and disciples do not necessarily have to abandon the vulgar and become a monk, but when they make a vow, they have the meaning of compassion and compassion. This is the way to "become a Buddha". He is the person with the most complete personality I have ever seen in my life. We hear some politicians, such as Wilson, Johnson and his ilk, tell lies every day. It is too rare to think of a person who is as down-to-earth as Master Hongyi ..."

Xia Mianzun commented on Master Hongyi: "Master Zong lived his whole life as a handsome son, a passionate man of lofty ideals, a talented artist, a serious educator, and a virtuous Tutuo. " Lin Yutang commented on Li Shutong: "Li Shutong is one of the most talented geniuses in our era, and also the most unique person, the most reclusive and independent person. He once belonged to our era, but finally abandoned this era. He jumped out of the world of mortals. His romantic talent made him choose Hangzhou, a place full of romance and tenderness, even if he was born. proud."

Lu Xun commented on Master Hongyi's calligraphy: "Simple and perfect, it is as natural as it is. It is very fortunate to have Master Li's handwriting!" In the spring of 1942, Guo Moruo asked Master Hongyi for calligraphy, and got Hongyi's scroll: "My heart is like a bright moon, and the blue pool is clear and clean. There is nothing comparable to it. Teach me how to say it." Later, Guo Moruo wrote a letter to express his respect to Master Hongyi: "I have learned from the handwriting... Master Chenglan said that it is very true. Literary affairs should care about people, and it is good to have old learning. It’s a matter. An ancient text says: Scholars first implement art and then literature and art, and it’s hard to see the words.”

Premier Zhou once told Cao Yu: "If you want to write "History of Chinese Drama" in the future, don't forget Li Shutong in Tianjin, that is, Master Hongyi after he became a monk. He is the pioneer who spread Western painting, music, and drama to China." In the early 1980s, Liu Haisu said in an article: "Among modern people, I only admire Li Shutong... Li Shutong is brilliant in painting, calligraphy, music, and poetry... But I am one thing less than him—— acting!" When President Jiang Zemin visited Japan, the Emperor of Japan also mentioned Master Hongyi's deeds to President Jiang Zemin.

Zhang Ailing once said: "Don't think that I am an arrogant person, I have never been-at least, I am so humble outside the walls of Master Hongyi's monastery."
