Sometimes things in the world are really unpredictable, as if they have their own arrangements.

At this moment, Huineng, who is already the sixth ancestor, stands in the pagoda of retribution, and the pond next to the door of the house appears in front of his eyes.

The beautiful lotus flower in the pond made him give birth to a classic sentence: "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 length, nor anger, no joy, nothing is nothing more, there is 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. Later, this classic was recorded by Fahai in the "Sutra of the Six Patriarchs".

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.

He thought: Pure Lotus, it is not so difficult to seek wisdom in the world, and the most important thing is to make oneself 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.

From this, he thought of another scenario: during the horseback ride, a small tornado blew down a large tree on the side of the road, and the large tree fell in the middle of the road. The horses on the road came to an abrupt stop in front of the fallen tree and could not be passed, 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. Cause and effect, 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 learn to 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.

He thought: Before the second patriarch Hui Ke was enlightened, his Dharma name was Shenguang, and in order to show his determination to dedicate himself to the Dharma, he swung his knife and cut off his left arm 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 help you get rid of them. ”

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 Ke couldn't find his heart, and turned around, and finally suddenly realized.

No intention is peace of mind. If the heart is unstable, it is better to abandon the heart first.

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

Thinking of this, Huineng looked at Houliang Village not far away, and muttered to himself, "Yes, the troubles of the world are empty, if you can maintain a plain and unchaotic true heart, the Buddha nature will be revealed at the moment." ”

……

At this moment, Huineng stood on the pagoda of Longshan Guoen Temple, looking into the distance by the railing, but his thoughts stopped at the lotus pond next to his house......

When the spring breeze blows the old years, it can't blow away the lingering memories of him and Li Xiaolan;

When time goes by in cycles, he can never return to the unforgettable time when he and Li Xiaolan studied together in his father's private school......

Li Xiaolan in childhood, her crystal clear figure flashed in his heart all the time, all of them told about endless lovesickness, and how many memories were aroused-

Ah, Sister Alain, do you know? You have already left an indelible imprint on the young heart of Aneng at that time.

Lovely Xiaolan, at that time, your Brother Aneng and your father were studying in the school, so that you, the unenlightened Brother Aneng, opened his mind under the influence of your aura......

It is your compelling aura that gives you endless inspiration and inspires infinite wisdom;

It is your compelling aura that has created your Anengge's unforgettable ability, and even later achieved the talent of the Six Ancestors......

Recalling this unforgettable childhood, Huineng's thoughts are like waves in the sea......

In the hazy rainy season, Xiaolan is just like a little white lotus, just like the round and full leaves, stained with crystal raindrops, like pearls, reflecting the light and clean face of the little white lotus, and quietly touching the eyes of the six ancestors in the night when the moonlight is silver like water.

As the years went by, he became more and more fond of the clear and clean jade face in the blue waves, and in the charm of the lotus, he seemed to realize the true meaning of life:

Let the sadness fade away, let the years be quiet, and live a safe life. As the saying goes: to see the lotus purity, you should know that you are not stained by the heart.

The Buddha said: Calm is calm, the wind and moon in the world, do not forget the original intention, the mood of appreciating the flowers, can always be calm and peaceful.

You can be with your loved ones on a summer day when the breeze blows your cheeks, frogs chirp and cicadas chirp, and you can listen to the sound of fish playing green lotus in the warm sun of June. People who can wait for the flowers to bloom together and gaze at the flowers are all deeply destined......

Those who are destined, please forgive in cherishing, please cherish in forgiveness. In the moment of juanxiu, read the hurried turning, gathering and dispersing of the years. Let the smoke of the past, in the reincarnation, precipitation, in the lotus of a Zen, floating flowers, the moon is quiet and the days are long, and finally, the years of agarwood.

After all, Huineng is a person who has experienced ups and downs, and he does not want to sigh the bitterness of life between the lintels of the years, so that the slightest resentment spreads.

He hoped that the white lotus in his heart would freeze the peace of a lifetime in the momentary perfection. In the blooming season, it makes people forget the sadness of withering. In this bustling and noisy summer day, the lotus floats lightly among the mellow leaves, listening to the gentle murmur of the waves, as if a lifetime of quiet anticipation, in the breezy lotus pond, rippling in the bottom of the heart.

Huineng silently said in his heart: Let the tranquility of the lotus infect my thoughts, in the years like water, low eyebrows, gaze at the elegance of a flower, in the quiet years, let me read the world of a flower and a leaf, in a different mood, bloom a chic gentleness. Let me meet and forget in my own world. In the passing years, read the fireworks, the passing years, the red dust, and the vicissitudes of life.

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.
