【Idiom Story】:
This idiom is derived from the Song Dynasty. Shi Daoyuan's "Jingde Chuan Lantern Record. Recruiting Masters", the teacher showed a side and said: The head of the hundred zhang pole is not moving, although it is not true. The head of the hundred zhang pole must progress, and the world of the ten directions is the whole body.
During the Song Dynasty, there was a high monk named Jing Cen in Changsha, who was called the master of recruitment. This master has a high level of Buddhist attainment, and often travels to various places to preach and preach the scriptures.
One day, Master Zhaoxian was invited to give a lecture in the Dharma Hall of a Buddhist temple. There were many monks who came to listen to the lecture, and the master spoke in simple terms, eloquently, and the listeners were deeply affected. Except for the master's voice, there was silence in the Dharma hall.
After the master finished speaking, a monk stood up, asked him to make a bow, and then asked a few questions for the master to answer. The master returned the salute and replied slowly.
When the monk heard what he didn't understand, he asked the master a question, so the two of them asked and answered, and the atmosphere was cordial and natural.
Those who attended the lecture found that they were talking about the highest state of Buddhism---- the world of the ten directions. In order to explain what was going on in the Ten Directions World, Master Zhaoxian showed a note on the spot. The so-called verse is a book that records the lyrics in Buddhism. But seeing the master pointing to a passage above and chanting: The bamboo pole of a hundred zhang is not high, and it needs to be further advanced before the world of the ten directions can be regarded as the real peak.
The idiom of a hundred feet is also called a hundred feet.
