Chapter 34 The Thirty-third Chen Shangshu Looks at Zifu

The Thirty-third Chen Shangshu Looks at Zifu Example: Minister Chen Cao looked at Zen Master Zhiyuan of Zifuyuan. When Zifu saw him, he drew a round face.Cao Yun: Why are you here, my disciple? It's not convenient, let alone draw a circle.Fu then closed the door of the abbot. (Zen Master Xuedou said: Chen Cao only has one eye. ) Monks like to draw a round face, which is to draw a circle, about the size of a rice bowl, or draw it on a piece of paper with an ink pen. Or on fans, and some are painted on the ground with tin sticks, and some are only painted in the air with gestures.in Buddhism,

Yuanxiang originally represented the meaning of Nirvana, as in the cloud: "I will make everyone enter Nirvana without remainder and pass away." But Zen's The circle is the chaotic self of nature, that is, the sea of ​​chance, everything enters into the sea of ​​chance, and everything comes out of the sea of ​​chance. Chen Cao and Bai Juyi were at the same time. He was a noble official, but he came to Zifu Temple to see Zen Master Zhiyuan. This has been in the late Tang Dynasty good.The Zen master draws a circle.As for Chen Cao's Yunyun, you can't regard him as an honest person, thinking that he really said it

: It is inconvenient to come out to see the Zen master, let alone forbid the Zen master to test him with the perfect picture, it is begging for forgiveness.I don't know today What Tianta meant was that it was already a miracle for him to come to see the Zen master so easily, not to mention that it is even more difficult for the master to draw a circle. Miraculous, just like this, today's meeting in Zifu Temple has been full of scenery, so there is no question and answer. After Chen Cao finished speaking, the Zen master closed the door of the abbot.Although Chen Cao's words are good, has he really reached this level?

?He probably didn't realize it.It is good to shut out such a worldly person and let the world be confused. Zen Master Xuedou said: There is nothing wrong with paying the sea and mountains, and the next circle is twins when fishing. But when the turtle saw Yuanxiang's shadow, it swam away with its tail.But in front of him is Chen Cao standing in the capital. Outside the abbot of Fusi Temple, the carp in the pond under the steps is leisurely and motionless in the shadow of the medicine fence.
