Of course, now many places have been dealt with by him and Qian Dashen, such as Putian, Sanming, and Zhangzhou are not a problem, and the activities of the stone world in northern Fujian are not active, so I will not consider joining for the time being, which is no problem, but the most headache is Ludao and Longyan, and now they are in trouble.

"Jingle bell", the Kowloon phone rang, it was Tie Dahan calling: "President Wei said that he wanted to run the association here, it's not a problem, Ludao Shiyou has always been very united, and there are not many associations like Zhangzhou, and they don't accept each other, we are all serving Shiyou, just ask President Chen to find him directly."

"As for the development of members, please don't worry, President Cheng, I am the webmaster of several magazines, and I still have this ability. ”

Jiulong relayed Tie Dahan's reply, and Chairman Cheng frowned: "That's good, that's good! I'll find an opportunity to visit President Wei in person and get this matter done, Xiao Huang, you are a local of the Longyan Development Association, can you help?"

"Isn't President Lin of the Longyan Association very familiar with Teacher Qian, why do you want me to help?"

Kowloon was puzzled.

"This ...... It's hard to say, I just want to ask Xiao Huang, do you have a trick?"

"I'll try. ”

Jiulong still couldn't understand why it was obviously Qian Dashen's territory, but he couldn't figure it out himself, so he promised President Cheng first to talk about it, and then asked Qian Dashen what was going on.

When President Cheng saw that Jiulong agreed, he was in a good mood, stood up, and asked Jiulong to take a good look at his stone.

President Cheng's strange stone is rich in stone species, there is a large color Lingbi stone, very imposing, white Lingbi is dotted with many red dots, named "plum blossoms are happy with snow." ”

There is a Brazilian colored glazed agate, the crystal and the agate symbiosis, constituting a harvest scene, and there is a party named the head of a generation of emperors, like the appearance of Qin Shi Huang.

Kowloon is most concerned about the "generation of monks" head stone, this is the representative stone of Kowloonbi, on the textbook, but look left and right, still not seen, Kowloon can't help but ask where is this treasure?

"Want to see it? Wait a minute. ”

President Cheng smiled and walked upstairs.

Jiulong understands, this is a treasure, how can it be shown to others at will, it must be hidden.

Sure enough, not long after, President Cheng walked down with a glass display box in both hands.

In the display box, it is the classic head that Kowloon has admired for a long time - a generation of monks!

Jiulong reflexively looked at his eyes first, and sure enough, it was natural, there were no traces of processing, his nose, mouth and his whole expression, he really looked like Master Hongyi, it was too expressive.

Jiulong was amazed again and again, and President Cheng seemed to be very proud, he said, since the name of this stone, there has been an endless stream of inquiries, and now the price is called 2 million, but in President Cheng's heart, this stone will not be sold without six million.

This is understandable, a person like President Cheng who does not have to worry about food and clothing, there is nothing more worthy of him to show off than having a high-quality product, so unless there is a price that makes him attractive enough, everything is not to be discussed.

President Cheng talked about his experience of playing with Zen stones to the "generation of monks", and he said that since he got the "generation of monks", he has been particularly interested in Buddhism, and he believes that everything has a cause and effect, and people must do more good deeds to be blessed.

Originally, he took over the matter of the Provincial Stone Association with the mentality of serving the stone friends of the province, but when he really took over this burden, he felt that it was not easy to do this, so he regarded it as his own practice.

When Kowloon heard President Cheng talk about the Zen stone, he asked him if he had any scripts, and he wanted to read them.

"I've written some tips on this, I'll send it to you. ”

President Cheng directly added Kowloon WeChat and sent his article over.

Jiulong actually had some doubts in his heart, and Mr. Chen Minfu, who was introduced by Mr. Jingjing, had already explained the Zen stone very thoroughly, would President Cheng still have new tricks? If not, there is no need to quote it, and it is necessary to avoid repetition.

However, since the other party sent it, let's take a good look at it, maybe there is something new?

The title of the article sent by President Cheng is "Also Talking about Zen Stones and Zen Stone Appreciation".

1. What is Zen Stone?

What kind of stone is a Zen stone? At present, there are different opinions in the world of stone appreciation, and there is no unified standard.

From the classics to the monographs, there are some theories and limitations, but the definitions are different, there are tangible round pigment theory, there are gray cold and dark silence theory, there is no form and no picture theory, there are those who agree with the Buddha and Sangha theory, and there are those who oppose the Sangha theory.

However, most of them still emphasize that the strange stone that can realize the meaning of Zen is the Zen stone, and there are three representative arguments for the meaning of the Zen stone.

The first is Zen theory, which believes that the meaning of Zen stone should contain the spirit and ideological content of Zen Buddhism, and the most important thing to appreciate the stone is people's "understanding".

The second is the theory of mood, which believes that Zen stone is a kind of stone that can stimulate people's natural beauty and great wisdom, and it is a kind of stone that can help stone appreciators enter a good state of mind such as indifference, calmness, open-mindedness, harmony and joy.

The third is the object theory, which believes that Zen stone refers to the strange stone without image and object, only the quality of color, line, light, or the image of Buddha, Bodhisattva, monk, Zen master, etc., that Zen beauty exists in the beautiful stone, and is an objective existence that is not transferred by human will.

The above three arguments embody two foundations of the cultural identity of Zen stone in contemporary China: first, Zen stone must have the basic characteristics that can express Zen and philosophy;

Second, through the aesthetics and cognition of Zen stones, it can help the viewer to cultivate temperament, improve the mood and purify the soul.

The Buddha's "smiling flowers" shows that Zen is the product of heart-to-heart, and it is all in that heart-to-heart smile.

There is no need for a lotus flower with a tongue, no need for a river in the mouth, words are broken, and the heart is destroyed.

Zen is not bound by any knowledge, any logic, or any common sense, and advocates abandoning the use of existing knowledge, logic, and mind to understand the world, and emphasizing the realization of one's true essence with the mind.

It is a state of mind that sees through and lets go, is bright and clear, indifferent and open-minded, calm and peaceful, has no desire and no greed, is warm and comfortable and joyful and detached.

The basic points of Zen are selflessness, emptiness, otherworldliness, clarity of mind, and the pursuit of truth, perfection and perfection.

The purpose of meditation is to achieve great enlightenment, to realize emptiness, and ultimately to attain great liberation and freedom.

According to this understanding, the Zen stone is a stone that can embody these spirits and ideas of Zen, or the Zen stone is a strange stone that contains Zen and philosophy.

Of course, the aesthetics and cognition of it will definitely react to the improvement of the realm of stone appreciators.

The verdant bamboos are nothing more than the Buddha's body, and the lush yellow flowers are all Dharma bodies.

When the Buddha was able to smile with flowers and pass on the seal with his heart, if he was facing all the strange stone lovers, he could naturally also pass the Dharma with stones.

Zen is with nature, and there is nothing hidden in Zen.
