Some people say it is a word game, but it is actually a word game. They are also words, so why can you understand things only by reading scriptures? Why can't you realize it just by playing word games? Text, sound, pictures, videos, and books are all carriers. It is not knowledge itself. It has never been said that one form is nobler than another. In fact, this is very practical and can be used as a methodology in reality. If you are always obsessed with enlightenment, you really don't need to go too deep. With a little gain, you can clarify your illusions and clarify your own mind.
"The Story of Zen" is well worth reading. The book teaches us to fight against loneliness and relieve anxiety. There is a sentence in the book: "Actually, this is not bad. More often than not, we often worry about and struggle with how others see ourselves, but rarely think about how we see ourselves." Isn't this sentence talking about ourselves? Many times we tend to care about other people's opinions, but never ask ourselves: Do I like this? Living in the eyes of the world is really tiring. Young people who are under pressure should read this book to understand themselves correctly and refuse internal friction.
Zen Buddhism is the past and present life of Gautama Buddha. He preaches sermons on the spiritual mountain. He uses stories of flowers and smiles to move people and attract believers; because the problem of Buddhism lies in its Chineseization. There are no readers on the road to localization and it cannot win the favor of the ruling class; because the paradise it promotes and the equality of all living beings are not true for the emperor and the relatives of the country. Practical pursuit, on the contrary, is the practice of ordinary believers. Especially in contemporary times, self-cultivation is the best way to fight against the impetuous era. There is a mirror in the heart, and Zen thoughts can come at any time. Using real historical stories and fictional mythical characters, Yi Zhongtian vividly and vividly tells us the past and present lives of Zen Buddhism in China.
Why should we understand, not be disturbed by things, take refuge in our true heart, and gain true freedom? How to achieve enlightenment, planting rice seedlings and fishing, sitting alone and meditating, all have the feeling of Zen. What is enlightenment? It is colorless and formless, dispensable and dispensable, and has no desire or pursuit. Slow enlightenment, sudden enlightenment, no matter how slow or urgent it is, when you realize it in one thought, you and I are both Buddhas.
I have read teacher Yi Zhongtian's works before. The teacher's greatest characteristic is that he explains things in a simple and easy-to-understand way. I have read his "Three Kingdoms", which is really a relaxing and easy-to-understand book. It made me understand the chaotic Three Kingdoms clearly at once. After reading this book "The Story of Zen", the teacher's writing style is still as usual, allowing people to understand the artistic conception of Zen. It is said that Buddha can be spoken of, but Buddha cannot be spoken of, but no matter what, we cannot see clearly. But "The Story of Zen" explains it clearly in just a few chapters. It's interesting and easy to understand, and it's really powerful! Recommend.
Without setting up words, it points directly to people's hearts and becomes a Buddha by seeing one's nature. Stone Buddha has a roof, but its form has no soul. On Lingjiu Mountain, flowers are raining in abundance. Execute What is persistence? He is just stubborn, stubborn and has no enlightenment, so he has to hang himself from a tree. If you persist, you will be confused, and if you are confused, you will not understand. It is called: stubborn It is not something, it is not nothing, it is neither something nor something, it is neither something nor something. The past cannot be grasped, the present cannot be grasped, and the future cannot be grasped There is a Buddha in my heart, and the Buddha is the true Buddha. If you don't have a Buddha mind, where can you find the true Buddha? Supreme enlightenment The west wind is still worshiping upside down, and the hanging Yang Yuan raises his head in confusion. There are many yellow flowers on the east fence, and they grow to regulate the autumn. The green bamboo is always the Dharmakaya; The lush yellow flowers are nothing but prajna.
In fact, I always ask what is Zen? Zen, do you want to practice it? It turns out: I went to have tea, wash dishes, plant fields full of green rice, and return full of empty boats to the bright moon. Again: the sun rises over Songshan Col, the morning bell frightens the birds, There is a gurgling stream in the forest and green grass on the slope. It's all Zen! Wherever you are, Zen is there! Yi Zhongtian is good at studying the Three Kingdoms and has good knowledge, but he is really bad at writing articles and novels.
I have always believed that Zen is a beautiful thing, with profound meaning and aesthetic existence. It not only brings me the principles of life, but also allows me to cultivate my moral character and understand things in life. Zen is the most profound and ancient academic form of Chinese wisdom. It helps us understand ourselves, understand the meaning of life, and understand the origin of all things in nature and the meaning of existence. These few sentences in the article are worth reading carefully: Wisdom and knowledge are different. Knowledge belongs to human beings, and wisdom belongs to individuals; knowledge can be passed on, but wisdom can only enlighten; wisdom can only enlighten, and this requires opportunity. "A very meaningful sentence, I like it very much.
Yi Zhongtian is a famous Chinese historian and writer whose works cover a wide range of historical and philosophical fields. This book allows us to understand the story of "Zen" more clearly through Yi Zhongtian's narration and Huang Yonghou's paintings. He tells a story in the book. A man came to the Zen master's door and asked: "Master, how should I practice Zen?" The Zen master replied: "Did you hear the sound of running water? Go and listen to it for three years, and then come back to see me." So the man went. Three years later, he returned to the Zen master's door. The Zen master asked: "Do you understand?" The man replied: "Yes, I understand." The Zen master said: "Okay, you can go. Through this story, the author tells us that meditation requires meditation, and only by meditation can we understand everything in the world.
Zen is not meditation with eyes closed. Meditation with eyes closed is just one of the ways to enter Zen. What is real Zen? Carrying firewood and water is Zen, carrying rocks and piles of rice is Zen, plowing fields and weeding is Zen, plowing in the morning and working in the evening is Zen. Others include patience and compassion as Zen, hard work and sacrifice as Zen, convenience and dexterity as Zen, and sticks, drinks and teaching as Zen. Without Zen it is hell, but with Zen it is heaven and bliss.
Teacher Yi Zhongtian uses easy-to-understand language to lead readers to understand the origin of Zen Buddhism and why Zen Buddhism can take root in China. How to understand the Zen concept of "becoming a Buddha immediately": To become a Buddha is to transform from a sentient being into an enlightened person. It also introduces how to change "from south to north", and then explains that the inability to awaken is due to "attachment", and that breaking attachment requires passing three passes... It is not long and the language is lively. It is a very good Zen enlightenment book. I very much hope that Teacher Yi Zhongtian will continue to provide such good books.
I don't understand what I'm saying. It's too profound and too greedy.
Wisdom is different from knowledge: Knowledge belongs to human beings, and wisdom belongs to individuals. Knowledge can be taught, wisdom can only inspire. Wisdom can only inspire, and only then can we be proactive.
Yi Zhongtian's books have never let me down. Benefited a lot. When reading books, you still have to read what everyone has written. But when I say this, it shows that I am persistent. If I read books to improve my wisdom, I will not gain wisdom. Only when you reach the state of spiritual independence and freedom of thought can you realize wisdom. We still need to work hard!
This book uses a relaxed and harmonious writing style, and each chapter uses poetry and painting to draw people in, and then uses storytelling to explain the Buddha and Zen in Buddhism in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Although the article is not long, it explains the subject of Buddhism clearly and clearly. Thank you Professor Yi Tianzhong for your interesting writing. Great book! I give it a five-star review!
Very wonderful, wonderful
In my heart, I think Zen is very beautiful and poetic. After reading the whole book, I remembered the non-discrimination; when I was about to finish it, I suddenly thought of letting nature take its course. Maybe this is the reason why I have a good impression of Zen.
This is the fourth time I have read it. I have gained something from reading it every time, and I can understand some truth.
A book with philosophy and philosophical thoughts. Overall, this book gives people a very peaceful and cheerful feeling. This feeling is not something you can feel with ordinary books. He is the most important soul of this book. He teaches you an attitude towards life and an optimistic and open-minded spirit. Through this book, you can see a different state of life and a different way of thinking about life. I highly recommend everyone to read this book and use this book to change your vision and perspective.
Easy to understand and humorous.
This book is well written.
Simple words but deep meaning, wonderful and wonderful
Thousands of feet of silk droop straight down, and only one wave moves and thousands of waves follow. It's a still night, the water is cold and the fish won't eat. The boat is full and empty and returns at full moonlight.
The creek is gurgling and the grass is green
Free to start
I can't achieve enlightenment, but the Buddha is right in front of me!
Really, after reading it, I discovered a lot of things that I was obsessed with before but didn't need to be obsessed with.
It's wonderful and it really doesn't change its humorous nature.
I read it in one day, very good
Good analysis, I learned a lesson.
