Chapter 35: The so-called Zen

Therefore, the ancient Buddha of the green lantern is "Zen", the quiet and inaction is "Zen", the cold window is "Zen", the dawn people are "Zen", and the three from the four virtues may also be "Zen"...

Some people look at the rivers and lakes, the beautiful water, can be "Zen";

Some people look at the strange peaks and mountains, the magnificent mountains, which can be "Zen";

Some people look at the sunrise and sunset, which can be "Zen";

Some people look at the cold window of the past ten years and no one asks, and they become famous all over the world in one fell swoop, and they may also be "Zen"...

Drinking wine in large bowls and eating meat in large chunks is what some people say is "Zen";

Revitalize the sect and carry it forward, some people say that this is "Zen";

Chivalrous and righteous, the road is uneven, some people say that this is "Zen";

If you don't agree with each other, some people say that this is also "Zen"...

Therefore, different people's perception of "Zen" is also different!

The clouds outside the sky are rolling and the flowers in front of the court are blooming and falling, we can see it as "Zen";

The bamboo shadow sweeps the dust and does not move, and the moon wheel passes through the swamp water without a trace, we can also see it as "Zen"...

"Zen" can be spring breeze, "Zen" can be summer rain, "Zen" can be autumn frost, "Zen" can be winter snow, "Zen" may be in the flow of the four seasons;

Of course, "Zen" can also be the blooming of spring flowers, "Zen" can also be the wood of summer, "Zen" can also be the fall of autumn leaves, "Zen" can also be the withering of grass in winter, "Zen", and it may also be in the changes of plants and trees at four o'clock;

So there is, Shanqing is "Zen", Shuixiu is "Zen", Fenghua is "Zen", and Xueyue is also "Zen";

Looking at the mountains from afar, and listening to the water silently up close, it is "Zen"!

Carrying a hoe with empty hands and riding a buffalo on foot is "Zen"!

Enlightenment and meditation are in a hurry, and the geometry of life is also in a hurry, which is "Zen"!

Sleeping with tea, hunger and food, looking at the flowing water and sitting and watching the clouds, is also "Zen"...

So there is, meditation is "Zen", farming is "Zen", enlightenment is "Zen", and sleeping is also "Zen"...

Some people say that the wise man looks at the mountain, which is "Zen", the benevolent man looks at the water, and it is also "Zen", the Buddha looks at the world, it is "Zen", and the world looks at fame and fortune, which is also "Zen". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The magnificent mountain is "Zen", the beautiful water is "Zen", the world is bustling, it is "Zen", fame, fortune, power and wealth are "Zen".

Therefore, they think that "Zen" is colorful, "Zen" has sound, "Zen" is tangible, and "Zen" is intentional...

So there is: the body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, do not make dust.

But...

We can't say that "Zen" means going into the mountains to practice, but we can say that going into the mountains to practice is "Zen";

We can't say that "Zen" is the wandering red dust, but we can say that the wandering red dust is "Zen";

We can't say that "Zen" must be the Green Lantern Scroll, but we can say that the Green Lantern Scroll is "Zen";

We can't say that "Zen" must be empty of the four major emptiness, but we can say that the four emptiness are also "Zen"...

The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng Ming is "Zen", and the Venerable Ka Ye is also "Zen" when he smiles...

So in the same way, we can also say that "Zen" is invisible, "Zen" is unintentional, "Zen" is silent, "Zen" is colorless...

So there is also: Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust.

Buddhist disciples practice "Zen", which can be a green lamp, an ancient scripture, a string of Buddhist beads, and a cup of fragrant tea;

Of course, it can also be a candle flame, a gust of breeze, a futon, an empty heart...

Therefore, when we talk about practicing "Zen", simply put, it means cultivating the mind.

The clouds open and the sky is wide, and the leaves fall back to the roots. Looking back at the smoke waves, the fishing song passed through the distant village.

Cultivating "Zen" can repair spring flowers and autumn moons, summer rain and winter snow, mountains, rivers, plants and trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish.

A volume of Buddhist scriptures can be practiced "Zen", thousands of zhang red dust, can also be practiced "Zen".

If you meditate on emptiness, you can practice "Zen", and you can also practice "Zen" if you wander and become invisible.

Between the green mountains and green waters, you can practice "Zen" after being drunk for 500 years.

Withered trees and clouds fill leaves, withered plums and snow make flowers, you can practice "Zen".

After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn, and you can practice "Zen".

Of course, the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart, and we can also say that we practice "Zen".

We can't say that meditation practice must be "my heart is like the autumn moon, and Bitan is clear and clean", in fact, "I want to eat when I am hungry, and I need to add clothes when I am cold." When you are sleepy, stretch your feet to sleep, and love the wind in the hot place", which is also the practice of "Zen".

We can't say that the practice of meditation must be achieved that "progress must be made in a hundred feet, and the world of the ten directions is the whole body", in fact, "the life experience is leisurely and not tied to the boat, but you have to go with the flow and follow the flow." There is wine today, and there is drunkness today, and there is no money tomorrow and tomorrow is sorrowful", which is also the practice of "Zen".

When practicing "Zen", we can not only achieve "the monk's family also has a spring of prosperity, and there is no stagnation in the Zen mind." When you look at the blowing water, how can you not be affected by the shadow of flowers and branches", you can also do "scatter all the floating clouds and fall all the flowers, and in the end the bright moon is a career." Outside the sky and thousands of mountains, where the breeze is not the old home".

If you have "Zen" in your heart, you can practice "Zen" no matter where you are or where you are.

If this is true for practicing "Zen", what about "Zen"!

The same is true for "Zen".

On "Zen", we can talk about the magnificence of the mountains, the beauty of the water, the bustle of the world, and the fame, fortune, power and wealth of the red dust.

Therefore, the spring breeze can be "Zen", the summer rain can be "Zen", the autumn frost can be "Zen", and the winter snow can also be "Zen";

Therefore, the blossom of the flower can be discussed as "Zen", the wood can be discussed as "Zen", the leaf fall can be discussed as "Zen", and the grass withering can also be discussed as "Zen"...

We can talk about the clouds and clouds, we can talk about the flowers blooming and falling, we can talk about the wind and snow, we can also talk about the green lantern ancient Buddha...

The door of the secret room is unlocked, and the door is not loose. There will be no flute and blow out the phoenix clouds. This is on "Zen"!

People are idle and osmanthus falls, and the night is quiet and the spring mountain is empty. The moonrise frightens the mountain birds, and the spring stream sings. This is also about "Zen"!

The emptiness of all dharmas, neither birth nor destruction, neither impurity nor purity, neither increase nor decrease, is also about "Zen"...

Birth, old age, sickness and death can be discussed, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness can be discussed, green clouds can be discussed, and sunset can also be discussed.

Tangible can be discussed, intangible can be discussed, intentional can be discussed, and unintentional can also be discussed...

This is the fourth realm of the Buddha, which is also known as "Zen"!

Looking at Senior Brother Tianyuan in surprise, who walked steadily and was like a sword out of the box, Dusk never thought that in this senior brother who seemed to be indifferent at any time and did not seem to be a firework in the world, he could feel such a trace of fierceness like a knife and tenacity like a stone, which can be said to be a half-sharp momentum.

Is this still the Tianyuan Senior Brother who is not moved by external objects and is quiet and indifferent in the Scripture Pavilion!

Feeling the momentum coming from Senior Brother Tianyuan, Dusk, who was puzzled in his heart, couldn't help but put away his hippie smile, his face became solemn, and he glanced at the lobby that revealed a little candlelight, Dusk seemed to understand why his senior brother suddenly became like this.

It seems that my guess is not wrong!

The sky is like a cover, shrouding the four seas, and the night is like water, wandering leisurely.

In the brilliant starlight, accompanied by the cool night breeze, the two brothers and sisters, who were mentally prepared, followed Xianghe and entered the brightly lit lobby...
