Facing the beautiful scenery of a pond of lotus ponds, Zhang Cambodia sighed with emotion...... At the age of 16, after filling the vacancy as a Tai student, he was eager to study literature and history, study the books of sages, learn the strategies of governing the country, and learn all the books that a Tai student should learn.

When I was tired of reading, I remembered the bittersweet years spent by the lotus pond at home, so I suddenly came to my senses. The lotus flower is like the water of the Yellow River rolling in the waves, surging in his dreams night and night, the sound of the waves is high and low, like the scolding of his father, has been spurring him.

After the Zhongjin Shi, he never had the opportunity to return to his hometown, at first transferred to Qingyuan County, and then awarded the official to supervise the imperial history, and then moved to the Fengge Sheren, becoming a prominent official and nobleman, quite well-known in the current dynasty, it can be described as smooth sailing, high-spirited......

Now, he actually came to the hometown of the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Huineng, with such an identity and such a mood.

"In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. These sentences in the "Book of Songs" should be a portrayal of his mind at this time.

Facing the beautiful scenery of a pond of lotus ponds, Zhang Cambodia's heart is like the rolling Yellow River.

He stood near the pool, and the surging river rolled like a yellow dragon, flowing down from the sky, and seemed to flow his heart into an endless reverie......

When he was 14 years old, after his father and mother passed away one after another, after dinner, Zhang Cambodia stayed alone by the pond.

In the summer evening, the willow branches are swaying, the birds are chirping, and the lotus flowers in the pond are budding and waiting to be released, exuding bursts of fragrance, rising and diffusing over the pond, blurry and intoxicating.

The breeze with a little residual warmth, lazily sticking to the face and forehead, like the advice of the mother and father, surrounding the left and right, rippling in the heart.

The fragrance of the moonlight, holding up the gorgeous colorful clouds, reflecting the lotus flowers in the pond, gentle and affectionate, hiring Tingting. A pool of pink delicacy, full of enchantment. The white is like jade, the pink is like xia, the red is like a flag, the purple is noble, the water surface is sparkling, and the warmth is like blue.

Patches of emerald green lotus leaves, swaying in the wind, floating slightly. The leaves of the water lily are even more lovely, spreading evenly and neatly on the surface of the water......

Zhang Cambodia looked at it, watched, and couldn't help but think about it, so I wanted to use water as a bed and leaves as a quilt, lie on it, hug a crescent moon, take a pool of clear water, and fall asleep with a lotus flower.

In the dream, the fish are companions, and the wild ducks dance together, swaying, calling! The faint fragrance blows in, penetrating every corner of the body, holding your breath and savoring the original innocence unique to this child.

Zhang Cambodia was sitting by the pool, a water lily was looking at him and laughing, she was as white as jade, as blue as snow, like snow, and there were no impurities at all. Zhang Cambodia also reciprocated with a smile and quietly interpreted her thoughts......

Zhang Cambodia has always had an elegant dream related to lotus in his heart. At this moment, he is in a foreign land, and this dream is even more real and illusory, with wisps of refreshing fragrance, and unpredictable to show him an intoxicating smile:

The clear water is long, the jade lotus is charming, and the pure and noble lotus is a beautiful dream for him to bathe in the sun at the moment?

The icy and jade lotus flowers bloom on the surface of the lake one by one, the luscular lotus leaves sway quietly on the water, and suddenly there are a few beautiful goldfish quietly swimming around the lotus stems.

From a distance, the white lotus that blooms quietly and beautifully is just like the white lotus that he died young. Seeing things and thinking about people, I couldn't help but sigh to myself, and my mouth became a poem:

The fragrance of clear water hibiscus is sweet, like a flower beauty wearing purple clothes.

Spring goes to summer like a dream, counting the lotus leaves.

The beautiful fairy lotus blooming in summer is not the most holy embellishment in the world? The water hibiscus has a pure language, and her icy jade petals are like a dream, which makes him feel kind thoughts when watching the lotus flower, and the Zen is slow......

Listen, the cute goldfish in the water are whispering, telling the boundless happiness in their hearts. In the morning, lotus lovers walk by the pond and carefully admire the intoxicating beauty of the lotus flower, perhaps everyone is willing to be like the lotus flower out of the mud without staining, forever fragrant.

The moving lotus flower in the hometown of the six ancestors of Lingnan is the magic that he yearns for growing up in the north.

From this, he remembered a classic sentence in the Sutra of the Six Patriarchs: "The heart is vast, like a void, there is no edge, there is no square size, neither green, yellow, red and white, nor up and down, nor anger, no joy, nothing is right, no evil, no head and tail." All the Buddhas and the earth are the same as the void. The world's subtlety is empty, and there is no way to obtain it; The same is true of the self-vacuum. ”

The heart is vast, so it is like a void. There is no anger and no joy, so there is a vacuum of self-nature. Buddhism is also known as the empty door, the Buddha said: Don't ask for another 500 years, enter my empty door, you have already transcended Nirvana.

Therefore, he thought: Pure Lotus, it is not so difficult to seek wisdom in the world, and the most important thing is to make yourself have a soft heart. So soft that we see one of the petals of a flower falling, and we are moved and trembling to know its meaning.

When it rains, when I walk on the road, I sometimes unconsciously shed tears and feel sad in my heart.

Isn't the sorrow in our hearts the rain in the sky?

There are all kinds of sorrows in the world, but after the rain, we will often become clear people because of the rain.

While riding a horse, a small tornado blew down a large tree on the side of the road, and the large tree toppled in the middle of the road. The horses on the road abruptly stopped in front of the fallen tree and could not pass, so they had to turn their heads and turn to another passage.

Trees have life, and the wind is merciless. The tree that was blown down by the tornado may have been the wrongs of the wind in the previous life. The wind quietly dispersed after blowing down the trees. Because of the retribution, the wind has the persistence of the wind. And in the world, people can only seek a way forward without obstacles.

A tree falls, and the lush life is all in return to the land that gave birth to it and raised it. The wind is not attached to it, and the trees are not complaining. If the fate comes, it goes, when it gathers, it disperses, when it arises, when it arises, when it falls, it dies. The edge of the wind and the trees finally drifted away.

In the silent rain, I suddenly missed something. I miss the people I once loved, and I miss the people I still love but can't be by my side. The Buddha once said, "Emotions are born of past fate and love in this life, just as a lotus flower is conceived of two things: water and earth." ”

Yes, the fate of the past is water, and the love of this life is clay, and then the lotus flower of emotion blooms. If human emotions are lotus, they should not be dyed in any way. If you can miss, know how to miss, and cherish your thoughts, the person who misses will turn into the clear dew on the emotional lotus, shining with dazzling colors in the early morning or dusk.

What a beautiful emotion it is to miss it! And the most beautiful thing is to pull out the figure in the thoughts, look at the turbulent love and attachment in this world, and understand the eternal impermanence and emptiness in this world. Only with a broad mind can we understand the way of the Bodhisattva, be full of compassion and compassion in our thoughts, turn the pain of our thoughts, and get the light of the world.

Legend has it that before he became enlightened, the second patriarch Hui Ke was named Shenguang, and in order to show his determination to dedicate himself to the Dharma, he cut off his left arm with a knife and presented it to Bodhidharma. Bodhidharma then said to him, "The Buddhas risked their bodies and lives in order to seek the Dharma. You stand up to your waist and break your arms to seek the Dharma, which shows your sincerity. You say you have any troubles, see if I can relieve you of it. ”

Shenguang then said, "My heart is unstable, please feel at ease for me." ”

Bodhidharma said, "Take out this restless heart, and I will take care of you." ”

Shenguang thought about where his heart was, searched for a long time, and said, "I can't find it." Bodhidharma said, "I have made your heart right." ”

So, Bodhidharma named him Huike. Hui Keyu couldn't find a place, but turned around and finally came to his senses.

No intention is peace of mind. If the heart is unstable, it is better to abandon the heart first. If we can maintain a plain and undisturbed true mind, the Buddha-nature will be revealed at the moment.

I didn't have the intention. In fact, there may be no self in the world.
