The poem says: The net of love has nothing to do with love, and there are all kinds of golden pills in Jintian, The Zen mind must be purified in the dust, and the merits and deeds must be perfect in the world. Afflictions are free from afflictions, and life and death are beyond the realm of life and death, Branches and leaves cannot grow in the fire, and flowers bloom in the fire. These eight poems mean that although the arhat in the Buddhist sect ascends to bliss and is immortal, but he does not turn somersaults and play tricks in the world, how can Buddhism be explained?It's hard to show supernatural powers, so how can it wake up this earthly stupidity?Now let’s talk about an Arhat who left a holy relic on the West Lake for fifty years because of a single thought of mercy.

It is said that Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty moved south and established his capital in Lin'an Prefecture, Zhejiang Province (now Hangzhou). There is a Tiantai Mountain in the middle of Zhejiang Province that is the most beautiful, and it is the place where a Living Buddha lives.Gaozong built the capital next to it, so it was changed to Taizhou Prefecture.There is a Guoqing Temple in this mansion, the name of the elders in the temple is a book, the Taoist name is Xingkong, Seng La is sixty-eight years old, and he is also an Arhat who has cultivated through many kalpas. He often hints at Zen, and never reveals his true nature easily Mutually.

This year, it was the end of winter, the north wind was bitter, the clouds were dense, and the rain and snow were flying.After the evening fast, the elder sat alone on the Zen chair in the abbot's room.All the disciples waited on both sides, the incense smoke in front of the Buddha, and the shadows of glass lamps.When there were a lot of teachers and brothers, there was a disciple who realized it in his heart, knelt down in front of the elder and said, "My disciple was mercifully enlightened by the master about the principles of tranquility. Now, I have studied and enlightened carefully, and I know the taste of tranquility, which is so beautiful." ’ The elder smiled and said, ‘Although you will enjoy the tranquility, it will be wonderful.However, where there is stillness, there must be movement, and it should not be said that there is no taste in movement because there is taste in stillness. The disciple said in amazement: "Master Meng showed the principle of tranquility mercifully. Now that the clouds are moving again, how can there be a special taste in the movement?" The elder said: "If there is no taste in the movement, then those who are still will not want to move." ’ Just as he was speaking, he heard a loud bang, like a thunderbolt, and all the disciples were taken aback.The elder said: "Don't be surprised, this is the so-called movement in stillness."But if you look closely, where does the sound come from? '

After receiving the decree, all the disciples moved the lamps out of the abbot's room together, walked to the Dharma hall and turned to the main hall, there was no sound, and then walked into the Arhat hall, only to see a purple and golden Arhat, and even a painted wooden chair , They all fell to the ground, and the monks realized that the original sound came from this, so they went back to the abbot's room to report to the elders.The elder remained silent, closed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, and went into the hall.Not long after he left, he suddenly came back and said, "There was a sound of shock, and the person who fell to the ground was the purple-footed Arhat who was moving very still, and he had been reincarnated in the world!"Fortunately, it is not far away, and you will know who you are in another day.At the end of the full moon, the old monk should go to see it in person and say goodbye to him. When all the monks heard this, they were all surprised and didn't mention it.exactly:

It is known that the coming will come, and the time will go when it is early to distinguish; The way of coming and going is the Bodhi Road. It is said that in Tiantai County, Taizhou Prefecture, there was a magistrate whose surname was Li and whose name was Maochun, also known as Zanshan.Mrs. Wang is very kind, but she is over thirty and has no children. Zanshan is also devoted to the good relationship between husband and wife, and she refuses to marry a concubine. The husband and wife pray day and night to the Buddha for a son.Suddenly one night, Mrs. Wang dreamed of an arhat who presented a five-color lotus as a gift. The lady took it and swallowed it in one gulp. From then on, she became pregnant with Liujia.At the end of October, at the first watch, a boy was born with a face like a full moon and clear features.When he was about to give birth, the room was filled with red light, and the door was full of auspiciousness. Zan Shan and his wife were very happy. Zan Shan was busy burning incense and lighting candles, thanking the world, and all relatives and friends came to congratulate him.

When the full moon arrived, a banquet was being held, and suddenly Mengong came to report: "Elder Xingkong of Guoqing Temple is seeking to see Zanshan outside." Zanshan thought to himself: This monk Xingkong is an eminent monk in the world, he would not leave the temple lightly, why is he here today?Enter the hall quickly and meet each other with salutes.The side road: "In the customs of the lower officials, if Mr. Meng came to visit, there must be accidents." The elder said: "It's nothing else. I'm here to congratulate you when I hear that you are a full moon."But this son and the old monk have some karma, and I want to meet him and explain it to him. Zan Shan was full of joy, hurried inside to tell his wife about it, asked the maid to hold him, and followed him out to show the elders.The elder held his hands in his arms, touched his head and said, "You are so fast, why is it cold, you are not afraid of the heavy snow, but you came here."But Shengfan is far away from Tianyuan, so he comes as he comes, so he must not go astray. 'The child smiled slightly as if he knew it.The elder patted him twice, and praised loudly:

'Don't laugh!Don't laugh!I know about you.Seeing that my meditation is not painful, you have to be active and active.Jump and jump, don't get lost in Jingzhongqiao.Sex can burn the body, gas can be diverted, and money can only be used to help build.If you worry about freezing to death Subhuti, the boiling hot yellow soup is really wonderful.It's clear when you come and when you go, so be careful not to cling to each other. The elder praised him, then carried the child back to the maid and asked her to carry it in.He asked Zanshan again, "Has the young master been named?" Zanshan said: "I haven't got a good name yet because of the tedious celebration for several days." The elder said: "Since he is not famous, the old monk did not take the liberty to name him Xiuyuan. As the name suggests, he called him Hengxiu Yuanchen. I don't know what you think?" Zanshan said with great joy: "Yuan is the first of the four virtues, and cultivation is the foundation of the whole body. I would like to receive the Taiwan teaching of the master. I am very grateful." The elder got up and said goodbye.Zanshan said: "Mr. Meng is far away, and I should be a vegetarian, so I should pay less to respect it."Nai now hosts a banquet for guests, cooks and slaughters, and the kitchen stove is unclean, so that he is negligent, and let his relatives go to the treasure temple to kowtow to him in the future. The elder said: "I don't dare to say thank you, but the old monk will return to the west in a few days. If you don't want to abandon him, I will send you to the small nunnery. There will be a lot of favors." Zanshan said: "My teacher, Sengla, is not too high, and it's time to enjoy the happiness in peace. Why did you say this suddenly?" The elder said: "There is a cycle of coming and going. How dare the old monk violate it." So he said goodbye to Zanshan and went back to the temple to sit quietly.

A few days later, when it was Shangyuan, the elder came out of the Dharma hall and was seated.Order the waiter to ring the bell and beat the drum, gather the crowd, and after the first salute, two classes stand in a row.The elder said: "The old man will return to the west soon. There are a few verses of his death. Read them and listen to the public: In the middle of the first lunar month, lanterns are set off, and the public enjoys peace every year. The old monk is used to following the crowd, and he will come and talk when he returns. After going back, why doubt it? I know what is on my mind. If I let others know this, I will be told right and wrong by others.

So let's not talk about it, stupidity becomes stupid, it's hard to be good between life and death, the mountain monk returns to the west on the 29th, and specially reports that the mountains will come in order. When life and death come, don't be frightened. Everyone in the past and present has this way. The water has a sound, the mountains have a color, Yan Luo Laozi is ruthless, and advises the public to practice early and ascend to the Kingdom of Ultimate Bliss one after another. After the elder read it, the crowd heard the words of returning to the west, and all panicked. They knelt down and begged: "The disciples are stubborn, and they are relying on the kindness of the master to instruct the Dharma. Fortunately, they will stay for dozens of years, so that the lamp of Minghui will never go out." ! The elder said: "How can the lamp of wisdom be extinguished?"Because of being enlightened, the old monk concealed his flames.How can life and death be fixed?You can transcribe French and report to the mountains quickly, so that you can come and see me off on the 18th. After finishing the order, he went down to the Dharma hall, and all the monks had to set up niches and deliver the report.

On the 18th, all the people from various mountains came to watch and see off; Li Zanshan and all the officials also came one after another.Elder Xingkong took a shower and changed his clothes, and sat down on the Zen chair in the Anle Hall, surrounded by monks from all mountains and an eunuch.The elder called his five trusted disciples to come forward, and gave them all the mantle and bowl, and said: "Although the body is empty, the spiritual light is not separated. If the opportunity comes, you will have a sense of it."The five of you abide by the law and precepts, don't indulge! The five disciples were so sad that they kowtowed to receive the decree.The elder waited for another moment, then suddenly said: "The time has come!"Quickly burn incense and light candles, worship Buddha and chant scriptures. According to the words of the monks, the ritual recitation was finished in a short time.The elder ordered the paper and pen to be taken, and wrote a verse in a big book: "Er Shun is over nine years old, and everything is empty and ugly; now let go of his hands and return to the west, wandering around in the Kingdom of Ultimate Bliss." '

After the elder finished writing, he closed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, and passed away immediately.Everyone mourned, and asked the dharma body to enter the niche, and then dispersed. On the ninth day of February, it was March 7th, and the public was invited to hold a funeral.On this day, the sky was clear and the sky was clear, and the distance was near and near. The crowd held up the altar and walked, only to see the banners leading in front, and the sutras to follow.Until the cremation pavilion, the niche was stopped, and in the depths of the pine forest, the five disciples asked Elder Han Shiyan to light the fire, and the elder held the torch in his hand and said: "Listen, everyone!" Huoguangyanyan is ignorant, if you sit in the niche, will you be shocked?Looking back, I know that it is right and wrong, so why bother to ask others. Gongwei passed away under the Zixia Hall, the Great Monk of Xingkong, Ben Jueling, originally a Confucian descendant from Nanchang, who converted to Zen Buddhism in the East, broke away from the mundane world, and the worldly nature is empty, he is really a kind of Buddhism.No joy, no anger, kind and well-mannered, calm and monopolized by famous mountains, enjoying it, a dream in sixty-nine years. what!Don't follow the flowing water into the sky, take advantage of the fire to return to the pure land. Elder Han Shiyan finished reading, then set fire to the niche, and the flames rose into the air for a moment, and after a moment of burning, a monk appeared in the flames, rising up with the flames, looking down at the crowd and saying: "Thank you so much . He also called Zanshan and said, "Master Li!"Your son, Xiuyuan, is the root of the Buddhist family, not the bone of a prime minister, but he can be a monk, so he should not be an official. Don't let him go astray.If you become a monk, you can vote in Biefeng or Yuanxiatang as a teacher, and you must firmly remember it and never forget it. Zan Shan clasped his palms together and said to Xingkong: "Because of the merciful instructions of the old Buddha, I dare not obey them." ’ When I wanted to ask again, the monk Faxiang had gradually moved into Qingyun.Nazanshan listened to the elder's instructions in Yunqu, so he kept it in his heart and dared not forget it for a while.Later, Xiuyuan really became a monk in Lingyin Temple and did many amazing things.It is precisely the mystery of movement and stillness that condenses the wonderful way, and the traces of coming and going show magical powers. 'What happened after all?Let's listen to the next chapter. Comments: 1. Elder Xingkong pointed out that there is movement in stillness to be a "living Buddha", otherwise it will become a "puppet", but it is difficult to be a "living Buddha", and it will always be disgusting.Because the "puppet" does not speak, even if it is "ineffective", it is only to blame the one on the desk that is not working, and the one far away in the western sky is still "high above"; therefore, the masters in the world seldom satisfy all sentient beings, because sentient beings expect He is 'alive', and he is not allowed to 'eat'! 2. Quiet and thinking of moving, one foot smashed through the carved wooden arhat, and ran out of a wooden man to repair Yuan (Yuan), but because his feet fell to the ground, Jifo's legs wandered around the West Lake for fifty years.Although it is crazy, fortunately, the nature is not ambiguous, so I can go back to the original, rest and calm down.If sentient beings want to be quiet and want to move, there is a big "loophole" in this movement. They fall into the well and cannot climb up, so they have to become a "baby" and lose their lives!It's exactly: "One mistake will cause eternal hatred, and it will be a hundred years when you look back." ' 3. Praise the good and have no sons to seek the Buddha, just because you praise the good and not evil, and you will get Buddha children when you seek the Buddha, exactly: Pray for the Buddha to come, pray for the son to come; When fate meets, the Dharma door opens wide. 4. I come and go, Elder Xingkong!If the boss doesn't stay in China, when will the world's people stop cultivating?Come and go, avoid teaching 'more monks and less porridge'!What's more, both of us are from here, so who doesn't owe anyone?People in the world are happy to have their children come, but their children are so sad that their fathers go away!The new 'Chen' replaces 'Xie', the old monk has practiced enough, and it is also necessary to change to a junior novice.Life and death are like this, why be sad! 5. Sure enough, Xiuyuan has extraordinary roots and background, but he doesn't put on airs, doesn't play bureaucratic (chanting scriptures), and is still amiable. Let's see him talking and joking, never leaving the world, and wholeheartedly promoting the tradition of equality between Buddha and all living beings. People miss it. 6. Monk Xingkong goes in emptiness, and Monk Jigong comes with justice. The roads are different but the roads are the same. From then on, Lingyin Temple is authentic!Public case exercises: who am I?when will it come — ginseng!
