Who said that you can read the arrogance of the lotus? In the rippling waves, I found the lonely and proud heart. From between a lotus leaf, a green and white bud stands up, and in a touch of tenderness, it is full of affection. Lianru's mood is also lonely, thin, and gloomy. But in the passage of time, he was willing to become the throne in front of the Buddha, and in loneliness, he listened to all the Sanskrit and Buddhist words.

Lotus, with its own delicateness, surprises the hearts of the world. Let the gentleness of tranquility flow in the hearts of the world. Let me carefully read the passing years of the first life in the tranquility of the first life......

And all this has long been gone with the wind.

Let the lotus in your heart, in the rippling blue water, moisten the delicate face like jade, and in the corridor of time, and the Buddha!

"Yu Duai Lianzhi is out of the mud but not stained, and the water is clear and rippled but not demonic." It's about lotuses;

"The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red." It's also about lotus flowers;

"Tian Tian eight or nine leaves, scattered at the beginning of the green pond. The tender blue is only flat water, and the round yin has covered the fish. The duckweed does not fit together, and the weak thorn is still sparse. Half at the bottom of the spring waves, the heart is not comfortable. "It's still about lotuses.

Since ancient times, the lotus flower is the object of the chanting of literati and scholars, noble people, people love lotus, sing lotus, not only the graceful posture of the lotus, the faint fragrance, but also her noble character out of the mud and not stained so that the world admires and deeply respects.

Zhang Cambodia loves lotus very much. Often worship the otherworldly temperament and fairy wind bones of the lotus flower in front of the Buddha.

In the court, Zhang Cambodia suddenly found one day that in the streets and alleys of Lin'an, fashion printed with lotus patterns has become people's favorite. What made him even more delighted was that in the galleries of Lin'an streets and alleys, the large portrait of the lotus flower flashed solemnly on the gallery as a symbol!

Ah, Lian, is it an epiphany for all living beings?

This Zen lotus, I hope your noble character is really recognized, and I hope that your unstained wind and bones out of the mud are really appreciated by all sentient beings! May all the images that appear in your name really not insult you!

The Buddha said, "A thousand times of looking back in the past life is exchanged for a passing of the present life." Perhaps, the passing of Zhang Cambodia and White Lotus in this life is the result of a thousand times of looking back in the previous life......

"The lotus flowers in the south of the Yangtze River bloom, and the red flowers cover the blue water. The color is the same, and the lotus root is the same. "The Zen "Summer Song" by Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, made Zhang Khan's dream return to the Liang Dynasty......

Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, was the founding emperor of the Liang Dynasty. His ancestor, the Lanling Xiao family, was originally a northern Shu clan, and his family background was relatively low. But his uncle Xiao Daocheng was a very strategic politician, he took advantage of the civil strife in the imperial court, seized power, and established the Qi Dynasty.

Xiao Yan inherited his uncle's courage and strategy, held a military position in the Southern Qi Dynasty, and fought many times with the Northern Wei army, and became famous.

In the second year of Qi Jianwu (495), the Northern Wei army attacked Xiao Dan, the assassin of Sizhou in Southern Qi, and Xiao Yan followed Wang Guangzhi, the assassin of Jiangzhou, to the rescue. In front of the two armies, the other generals saw that the Wei army was strong and fearful. Xiao Yan personally led the death squad as the vanguard and fought bravely, and the soldiers followed closely behind, breaking 100,000 Wei troops. After the war, the enemy camp was searched, and the edict of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was found from the towel box left by a Wei general, which read: "I heard that Xiao Yan is good at using soldiers, don't fight easily, and wait for me to arrive and discuss countermeasures." If I can capture this person, then Jiangnan will be owned by me. ”

Xiao Yan was also a socialite in his early years. Xiao Ziliang, the king of Jingling in the Southern Qi Dynasty, opened the West Mansion, recruited literary scholars, Xiao Yan and celebrities Shen Yue, Wang Rong, Xiao Chen, Fan Yun, Ren Fang, Lu He, etc. traveled in the West Mansion, chanting poems and writings, known as "Jingling Eight Friends".

Before Xiao Yan became emperor, although he was busy with government affairs, he still read under the lamp until late at night every day, and wrote more than 600 volumes of "General History". He also often personally drafted the edicts, praises, prefaces and other official documents of the imperial court, which together amounted to one hundred and twenty volumes; revise the "hundred family trees" and reuse the scholars; Xiao Yan is good at playing chess, and is good at other aspects such as yin and yang, divination, calligraphy, etc., which can be called versatile.

Such a civil and military all-round talent naturally refused to live under the people for a long time, so when Emperor Qi Wu died of illness and the palace was in turmoil, Xiao Yan assisted Xiao Zhaoye to seize power. At that time, his wings were not yet full, but Xiao Zhaoye relied on him very much, causing his power to grow step by step. After accumulating enough strength, Xiao Yan resolutely launched an uprising in Yongzhou, seized power, established the Liang Dynasty, and changed the Yuan Tianjian.

From then on, Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan no longer served as a think tank for others, and began to fully display his talents in politics. Emperor Wu of Liang is a rare long-lived emperor in Chinese history, he lived to be eighty-five years old, reigned for more than 50 years, it can be said that before he believed in Buddhism, he was still very energetic, can be called a Ming monarch who cultivated both civil and military.

"Longevity without borders" is the wish of all emperors, in this case, whether to take romance or gamble on longevity, Xiao Yan chose the latter.

There is a view that from the Buddhist precept of "removing the two obstacles" (i.e., killing obstacles and desires and evil obstacles), Xiao Yan "knows the direction of returning", eats vegetables and eats outside, and breaks off the room. In the final analysis, it is for health reasons, and the so-called "pedestrian's doer" is the way to seek longevity.

This point of view is quite reasonable, and the original reason for Xiao Yan's "forty years of not being close to women" should be here.

Sure enough, but***, after not killing, his health problems were solved, and his brain was no longer dizzy. In Xiao Yan's own words, it is "neither the inner nor the inner realm, there is no evil obstacle of repetition, in addition to these two obstacles, the consciousness is slightly clearer, the internal and external scriptures, and the reading will be enlightened."

The emperor is fortunate to have the privilege of beauties all over the world, Xiao Yan "has not been close to women for forty years", the truth is not to mention the civil and military officials of the court, even the imperial doctors of the court may not be able to tell.

However, there is also a view in the court that a large number of elderly people should have physical and health reasons, and it could not have been caused by the Buddha in the first place. Xiao Yan also agrees with this.

But what exactly are the physiological and health reasons? Women often tease men with a sentence, "Men are not good things, except for him."

To paraphrase this point of view, as an emperor, if Xiao Yan is really "40 years but ***", it is the "lower body" problem, directly speaking, it is not good for sexual function and there are obstacles, not a single-minded Buddha can explain it all!

After giving birth to her youngest daughter, Princess Great Wall, Xiao Yan, who was already in her fifties, never had *** again.

This is not nonsense, from Xiao Yan's description in "Pure Karma Fu", it can be seen that Yao Bodhi, who discovered this secret at that time (Xiao Yan denied that Yao knew about his "illness") prescribed a pill to Xiao Yan, it is conceivable that this pill will not be an ordinary tonic medicine, but must have the effect of aphrodisiac and body. However, "the disease of taking it has increased too much", and it cannot cure the "small evil of the four bodies", it can be seen that Xiao Yan's "little evil" is not an ordinary problem, it is a failure of sexual function, and he suffers from prostatitis, which is the most taboo impotence for men.

Xiao Yan knew that he couldn't do it anymore, so he simply "became a monk", became a clean emperor, and lived a long life, so he didn't touch a woman again until he died. This is probably the original truth of Xiao Yan's "abstinence", and it is also an explanation for his sudden change of faith, abandonment of Taoism, and belief in Buddhism at the age of fifty.
