Empty Mountain Zen
by Wan Liuyi
About This Novel
The morning bell of Jingyun Temple hides the salvation and inheritance of three generations. The young man was unwilling to accept the coldness of the ancient temple, and was obsessed with going down the mountain to find the true meaning of "compassion." However, he repeatedly encountered obstacles in the sufferings of the world, and misunderstood the "emptiness" of his master, Master Liaochen, as an escape. Until he uncovered his master's half-life-long past - the passionate and conceited Ah Chen was ordained as a monk because he failed to protect his beloved, Mei'er, and practiced Zen to escape regret. Houshan Xuemei is the incarnation of this obsession. From the collapse of faith when the Buddhist beads collapsed, to the biting sarcasm of the hypocrisy of the wealthy gentry, to the tragic relief of the master risking his life to protect his disciples, Mingxin finally realized: Buddhism is never a dry Zen that ignores impermanence, but embraces the world after seeing suffering. It is the transparency of hard work and fate. Many years later, Mingxin accepted the lonely young man A Nian, and continued this goodwill and inheritance, letting the Zen spirit return to the fireworks, and making the heart light immortal from generation to generation. Between the blooming and falling blood plum blossoms, the intertwined marks of carved knives and teeth, the wooden sign hides the original intention. Three generations of people have reached the same destination through different paths, and finally understand the true meaning of "compassion has no form, and the law has no fixed law."
