During the rainy season, it rained for less than half a month, and the temple was wet everywhere.

Disciples who meditate in the lobby often sit on futons, watching the rain outside and fidgeting.

A young monk whispered to another young monk, "Why hasn't the rain stopped?" ! My heart is bored to death ... "

Another young monk took the topic and said, "When it rains, I always worry about whether my crops will be flooded ..."

Just then, their master came in with beads in his hand, looked at his disciples and said, "Please understand the situation carefully. After the rain, the sky is clear, the sun is round and bright, and it is very comfortable to shine on your body. " Disciples, have you seen the sun? "

"Well ..." Young monks, look at me, and I'll look at you.

Master went on to say, "In fact, the sun is rising every day, but it is blocked by a dark cloud in front of us. Open the dark clouds and your heart will be a clear sky. You can't see the sun, and of course the sun won't shine on you. "

The moral view of Zen;

Even if living in pain drives us crazy, let yourself smile the first thing after getting up every day. When you are happy, maybe you are not used to smiling. But if you force a smile, you may have the last laugh. If you give a smile, your heart will feel happy.

A monk wants to travel and study.

The master asked, "When shall we start?"

"Next week. It's a long way. I found someone to play a few pairs of sandals and set off after picking up the goods. "

The master pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? I will ask believers to donate money. "

I don't know how many people Master told me, but dozens of believers sent sandals that day, which filled a corner of the meditation room.

The next morning, someone sent an umbrella to the monk.

The monk asked, "Why did you send an umbrella?"

"Your master said you want to go out of town, afraid of heavy rain on the road. He asked me if I could give you an umbrella. "

But on this day, more than one person came to deliver the umbrella. At night, nearly 50 umbrellas were piled up in the meditation room.

After the evening class, Master went into the monk's meditation room and said, "Are sandals and umbrellas enough?"

"Enough is enough!" The monk pointed to the mountains of shoes and umbrellas in the room. "There are too many. I can't take it all.

"How can this work?" Master said, "There are unexpected events in the sky. Who knows how many roads you will walk and how much it will rain? " Sandals are worn out. What should I do if I lose my umbrella? "

Master also said, "You will meet many streams. Tomorrow I will ask believers to donate boats, so take them ... "

The monk understood the master's intention. He knelt down and said, "Disciple, set out now, without anything!"

What matters is not whether the things outside the body are complete, but whether you have the determination! I have determination, I have goals, and everything is not a problem!

Please take your heart on the road, the goal is in the distance, and the road is at your feet! Every step is a little gain! With a heart on the road, all foreign things are naturally enough!

Once upon a time, there was a monk whose house was often stolen by thieves. The monk was very angry, but there was nothing he could do but close the doors and windows every day.

One day, the monk closed the door and hid in his room, and the thief knocked at the door again.

The monk said, "Stop knocking, my door is about to be broken. I can't look at you, put your hand in! I'll give you anything you want. "

The thief really put his hand into the door.

The monk quickly tied the thief's hand with a rope, tied it to a post, and then opened the door with a wooden stick. He swung a stick and shouted, "Give back the Buddha!" "

The thief was frightened and quickly said, "Turn to Buddha!" "

The monk swung his stick high and struck again, shouting, "Return to the law!" " "

The thief was afraid of death and shouted, "Ouch!" Ouch! Return to the law! "

The monk then severely hit him for the third time and shouted, "Give him back!" " "

The thief was scared and shouted, "Go and find the monk! Return to the monk! " He shouted in his heart and muttered, "I wonder how many' shelters' this monk has?" If he continues to' return' like this, he will kill me. "

Unexpectedly, the monk stopped fighting, untied the rope and let the thief go.

The thief limped home, lay in bed and couldn't get up again. It took him a long time to recover. After the injury, he became a monk.

Someone asked him, "You used to be a thief and did all kinds of bad things. How can you repent now and want to become a monk? "

The thief replied: "I thought about it and thought that Sakyamuni was too great, so I asked to become a monk." I was caught by a monk that time. He hit me with a stick three times and almost killed me. If the disciples of Sakyamuni were not "three refuge" but "four refuge", I would have died long ago! Sakyamuni must be very powerful. He knew hundreds of years ago that I would be caught. If we engage in' four refuges', I will be killed, so we only engage in' three refuges'. Sakyamuni is so great that I asked to become a monk. "

Small good and small evil

Monk Nanshan has two disciples.

One day, the big disciple went out for alms and got a load of fresh peaches. He picked peaches and hurried back happily.

When passing by Li Jiazhuang, the disciple was very anxious, so he put the peach under the tree and found a convenient place.

When I came back, I saw a large group of people eating peaches around the tree. The big disciple shouted, "That's my peach, don't eat it." Hearing the shouts, people dispersed with a coax.

Back in the temple, the big disciple complained to the Nanshan monk: "Li Jiazhuang people are so hateful that they steal peaches."

The monk in Nanshan smiled kindly: "Don't blame them, may the Buddha bless you."

After a while, the second disciple went down the mountain to beg alms, accidentally broke his leg and fell to the village entrance of Li Jiazhuang.

When the villagers knew about it, they took the second apprentice home and invited a doctor to treat him.

After the injury, the two disciples returned to the temple and told the Nanshan monk what had happened.

Nanshan monk smiled. He asked his disciples, "Do you still say that Li Jiazhuang people are hateful?"

The eldest disciple scratched his head and said, "It was quite hateful last time. How can I be friendly this time? "

The monk in Nanshan said: "After all, there are only a few people who have made good and evil great. Most people, like the villagers in Li Jiazhuang, are ordinary people. There are both small good and small evil. You give him a good chance, and he behaves just as well; You give him an evil chance, and his behavior is evil. Therefore, we should forgive evil and guide good. You left a car full of peaches under the tree, and you blame others for stealing them? "

Precipitation life precipitation mood.

After Mike lost his job, he was in a bad mood and went to the priest.

The priest took him into an old hut with a glass of water on the table.

The priest smiled and said, "Look at this cup. It has been here for a long time. Dust falls in it almost every day, but it is still clear and transparent. Do you know why? "

Mike thought it over carefully and said, "There is dust under the cup."

The priest nodded in agreement: "Young man, there are many things that bother you in life, just like dust falling into water, but we can make it sink to the bottom and keep the water clear and transparent." If it keeps oscillating, not much dust will make the whole glass of water turbid, which will be more annoying and affect people's judgment and mood. "

The reason why some people feel that life is very painful, while others feel very happy is because people have different attitudes towards pain. If we can calm down and let the pain settle in our hearts, no matter whether the pain can disappear or not, let it occupy only a small space in our hearts, and most of the space will be filled with happiness.

In the past, we were in a hurry and impetuous, shaking our lives desperately, without a moment of peace, making our lives muddy, and all the happiness was mixed with pain.

To this end, we might as well learn to precipitate life, experience, mood and ourselves! Let life be quiet in sports, and let the mind be quiet for a while in impetuousness.

Go along the river without a bridge.

A master led several disciples to meditate and realize the Tao.

The apprentice said, "Master, we heard that you know a lot of magic. Can you show us? "

The master said, "ok, I'll show you a master of moving the law." I will move the opposite mountain. " As the master spoke, he began to meditate.

An hour has passed, and the opposite mountain is still opposite. The disciples said, "Master, why don't you come over?"

The master said unhurriedly, "Since the mountain can't come, I will go there." He stood up and walked to the opposite mountain.

Another day, the master led his apprentice out and was blocked by a river.

The master asked, "There is no bridge on this river. How can we cross it? "

Someone said, "We waded through." The master shook his head.

Someone said, "Let's go back." The master still shook his head.

People don't understand, ask a master.

The master said, "If you wade through water, your clothes are wet, and the water depth is life-threatening, so you can't take them." Turning around and returning can ensure peace, but the goal has not been achieved and it is not enough. The best way is to walk along the river, and you will always find a small bridge. "

"I'll cross the mountain if it doesn't come" and "I'll follow the river without a bridge" reveal the same truth: when we do something in one way, we might as well change our way of thinking and angle.

Just like sailing on the sea, maybe we can't change the direction of the wind, but we can change the direction of the sail. Persistence is the enemy of success, and flexibility is the shortcut to success.

This morning, the young monk found that Master had taken six steamed buns, while Brother had taken six steamed buns, and only he had taken four steamed buns.

The young monk felt unfair. The master took six steamed buns, and he didn't mind, but the eldest brother also took six steamed buns. Isn't it an equal with master? No, no.

So the young monk found the master and asked for six steamed buns.

Master said, "Can you eat six steamed buns?"

The young monk said loudly, "Yes! I want 6 steamed buns! "

Master looked at the young monk and gave him two steamed buns.

Soon, the young monk ate six steamed buns, and he was full.

The young monk patted his stomach and said happily to the master, "Master, look, I ate all six steamed buns. I can eat six steamed buns, and I want to eat six steamed buns every morning like my big brother! "

Master smiled and said to the young monk, "You have eaten six steamed buns. Do you want to eat six tomorrow? Let's wait! " "

The young monk felt bloated and thirsty, so he went to drink half a bowl of water.

Then, the little monk's stomach swelled bigger than before, and it hurt a little. The young monk began to feel uncomfortable and could not carry water, sweep the floor and chant Buddhist scripture as usual.

At this time, the master said to the young monk, "You usually eat four steamed buns, but today you ate six and got two more, but you didn't enjoy the benefits of these two steamed buns. On the contrary, they bring you pain. Getting is not necessarily enjoying. Don't stare at others, don't compare with others, don't be greedy, don't ask for it, be naturally satisfied and naturally happy. "

The young monk nodded, clutching his stomach and said, "Master, I'd better eat four steamed buns in the future!" " "

Fo Yin was sitting on the boat drinking with Dongpo when he suddenly heard: "Someone fell into the water!"

Fo Yin immediately jumped into the water and saved the drowning man. The drowning man is a young woman.

Fo Yin asked: "You are still young, why do you want to commit suicide?"

"Just married for three years, my husband abandoned me and my child died. What do you mean I'm alive? "

Fo Yin asked again, "How did you live three years ago?"

The young woman's eyes lit up: "At that time, I was carefree and unrestrained."

"Did you have a husband and children at that time?"

"Of course not."

"That you are just fate sent back to three years ago. Now you can be carefree and free again. "

The young woman rubbed her eyes and suddenly had a dream. After thanking her, she left happily and never committed suicide again.

The moral view of Zen;

The master of the Tang Dynasty once said: "Freedom is based on the mind, and the mental method is asexual; No body and mind, no mind, no sex, including virtue and utility. It can be profound or broad. "

The situation of life is the result of the interaction between self and external environment. If I can "live", then life can "change" and we can deal with complex things effectively: we can treat people properly and think clearly, which is what people often say.

Awakened people will not be blinded by desire, hue and prejudice, so they can see the real side. Only in this way can we know ourselves.

Knowing others gives you a better insight into everything and life will be less troublesome.

Li Ao, the secretariat of the Tang Dynasty, was in a high position and had a Buddhist heart. Especially in meditation, he often interacted with the Zen master. He was an official in Hunan. He heard that the abbot of Yaoshan in Lizhou (now Lixian) was very accomplished in Zen and admired him. He sent someone to invite the Zen master into the city. However, Wei Yan turned down many invitations.

On this day, the weather was fine and cool, and Li Ao took his entourage to visit Wei Yan in a sedan chair.

Yaoshan Temple is located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by pines, and it is very quiet. The Zen master was reading under the window when the waiter came in and reported, "The Taishou is coming!" " "But Yanyan didn't get up.

Li Ao walked into the Buddhist temple, but the Zen master still didn't look up and went on reading. Li Ao couldn't help but say anxiously: "It's better to meet when you are famous!"

The Zen master put down the scriptures and said with a smile, "Why do you have to be a prefect?"

Li Yong quickly bowed and apologized, explaining the meaning of going up the mountain for advice, and asked: "What is abstinence, determination and wisdom?" (Three Buddhist Learning, namely, Discipline, Meditation and Wisdom)

"Monks don't have these idle furnishings here." The Zen master replied.

Hearing this, Li Yong was puzzled. Ask again: "What is Zen?"

Wei Yan pointed to the air and then to the desk. Li Ao is more confused.

The Zen master looked at him and asked, "Do you understand?"

"No" Li Wei replied.

"The clouds are in the sky and the water is in the bottle." ("bottle" refers to a clean bottle, which is a container for monks to hold water)

Li Ao wanted to think, realized, and immediately recited a poem:

Refined into the shape of a crane,

Two classic letters from Panasonic.

I'll ask. I don't have to say anything,

Clouds in the sky and water in a bottle.

Then I bowed to the Zen master and left, and went back down the mountain.

The greatest misfortune in life

There is a donkey in the temple on the mountain, which grinds hard in the mill every day. Over time, the donkey grew tired of this dull life.

It thinks every day: if only it could go out and see the outside world without grinding!

Soon, the opportunity finally came. A monk took a donkey down the mountain to move things. The donkey was very excited. At the foot of the mountain, the monk put things on the donkey's back and then went back to the temple.

Unexpectedly, when passers-by saw the donkey, they all knelt on both sides to worship.

At first, the donkey was puzzled and hurried away, but along the way, the donkey couldn't help but get carried away: people worshipped me so much.

When it sees someone passing by again, it will proudly stop in the middle of the road and accept people's bows with peace of mind.

Back in the temple, the donkey thought he was noble and refused to pull the mill anyway. The monk had no choice but to let it go down the mountain.

As soon as the donkey came down the mountain, he saw a group of people beating gongs and drums coming head-on, thinking that they must have come to welcome me, and they swaggered in the middle of the road.

This is a wedding procession, but it was blocked by a donkey. People were furious and beaten. ...

The donkey fled back to the temple and was dying. Before he died, he said angrily to the monks, "It turns out that people are insidious. When I first went down the mountain, people worshipped me, but today they actually killed me. "

The monk sighed, "What a donkey! On that day, people bowed down to the Buddha statue on your back! "

The greatest misfortune in life is not knowing yourself all your life.

Outside the temple, smoke billowed and the wind was biting.

Lang, a scholar, knelt at the gate of the temple and asked the master to take him in. The master came to the door and asked, "Why did you become a monk?" Champion Lang said with tears: "I have gained fame from scholar to juren, from juren to champion, and I have never been wronged. I don't want to, but I was framed by traitors and didn't even get a county magistrate. I really have no face to return to China. " Hearing this, the master said thoughtfully to him, "You are a pillar of the country, and you shouldn't live a quiet life in a temple." Then he turned and went into the temple. But the champion Lang insisted on staying here, kneeling at the temple gate and not getting up. The master had no choice but to take him in.

Early the next morning, the master woke up the champion and wanted to take him down the mountain for alms.

They went down the mountain. There is a river at the foot of the mountain, and a path extends along the river. The master did not take the path, but walked on the frozen river. Champion Lang was puzzled by this, but he didn't dare to reply. But walking, both of them fell several times, and the champion Lang didn't hold back. He said to the master, "Master, let's hit the road." But the master didn't say a word, and still stumbled forward. After champion lang fell again, there was nothing he could do. He sat on the ice and shouted to the master, "Master, why don't you walk on the ice?" The master smiled and asked him, "How do you feel?" "It hurts!" Pierre lang said angrily. "I know why I fell." The master then asked. "It's too slippery!" Champion Lang said grumpily. "I know it hurts and the ice is too slippery, but I didn't wake up." The master said with a smile. "What awakening?" The champion still asked angrily.

The master looked into the distance and said to the champion, "the ice slides easily because there is no bump." Your life is like ice, and it has never been rough and smooth. Sooner or later, you will fall. Think of this encounter as a bumpy life. " The champion was shocked and realized something.
