Chapter 769: A Thought

Over the past 289 years, the social life of the Tang Dynasty has undergone unprecedented "great changes", with various wars and turmoil, palace coups, and the trees wanting to be quiet and the wind not stopping.

History is no longer peaceful, and the idyllic life of the past is difficult to find in the chaos of war. Although the ancient bright moon is still high in the sky, and the earth and mountains have changed, the memories of the Tang people in the old shepherd boy blowing the flute in the twilight, the raccoon woman frustrated by the leisurely pastoral life next to the mountain stream, has long been replaced by the turbulent war. Especially the civil and military ministers of the imperial court, all of them live so nervously and so depressed...... Everyone wants a peaceful and prosperous world of harmony and stability. However, the open and secret strife made the goodwill of the people smaller and smaller, and the pressure on each minister to survive became greater and greater. In the face of pressure, the emperor was powerless, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were powerless.

So, where is the solution to this macro problem, which is as big as saving the planet? People of insight have turned their attention to "Buddhism" and to the long-standing and profound Zen culture. Just as the rescuers of the earth put forward "there is only one earth", can we paraphrase "there is only one Datang": that is, to make every inch of space of our existence and every tiny period of time in every inch of space full of harmony and joy, which is equivalent to asking: Is there a way to make the polluted river clean again?

Zhang Cambodia looked at the certain Zen master suspiciously, and said noncommittally: "Can it?" ”

The Zen master must have affirmed: "Yes!" ”

Zhang Cambodia asked: "What method is used?" ”

The Zen master replied, "As long as the method is right." One of these methods is the Zen culture of Buddhism, a traditional Chinese wisdom that makes people's living and psychological states peaceful and harmonious.

Then, the Zen master made a further analysis of Zen cultureβ€”β€”

The essence of the six ancestors Huineng's Zen thought is to enlighten wisdom and purify people's hearts. Open-mindedness in Zen is the path to inner and interpersonal harmony.

Zen is such a "great way", which teaches everyone: the world is me, I am the world, the world is beautiful and I am beautiful, the world is painful and painful, everyone should live quietly, live naturally, like a fish in the clear water, such as clouds in the blue sky, such as flowers blooming in the spring of March, like snow falling in the cold winter, live in harmony with nature, with the earth, with people, with animals, and still life, as harmonious as fish and water, clouds and sky.

If everyone's heart is as transparent as a mirror, as peaceful as a lake, and as peaceful as a mountain, then the above-mentioned wars, the struggle for the throne that plagued the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, and the wars caused by disasters such as palace coups will be imperceptibly eliminated in the initial state of every budding root.

The Zen master must have analyzed this, and Zhang Cambodia nodded again and again. "The power competition between the DPRK and China in the past dynasties is fierce, and the delusional persistence of the civil and military ministers is also very strong, how can we achieve harmony?"

Seeing that Zhang Cambodia had raised such an eternal problem, the Zen master folded his hands and said, "Good, good!" The donor is talking about a big topic, and the poor monk is sparse and knowledgeable, and he can't directly dissect the essence. ”

Zhang Khan Zhi: "This is a matter of what the mind thinks and thinks. It's easier said than done, but it's hard to say ......"

The Zen master must have been so little at the heart of Zhang Khan Zhi, and said excitedly: "Yes! The donor is right! This is between people's hearts and one thought, there can be two completely different realms, two heavens and earths! ”
