Li Shutong Said About Buddhist Meditation: If You Lose Something, You Must Gain Something | Master He Hongyi Practices in the World of Mortals

Practicing in the world of mortals with Master Hongyi Every period of childhood has sadness, and Li Shutong's "Farewell" makes a child's sadness unique. Li Shutong is a legend. He has imprinted himself on the modern history of China in various ways, and his techniques are just like the seals he carved, which are either round or vigorous, and the swordsmanship is amazing. In 1918, under the sad and puzzled eyes of the students, he changed into monk's robes half a mile away from Hupao Temple in Hangzhou and walked towards the world of Buddha without looking back. "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky. The evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountains. At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, acquaintances are half scattered. A bottle of turbid wine will exhaust the remaining joy. Don't dream of cold dreams tonight." The second half of Li Shutong's life unfolded in the afterglow of the sunset. The sunset is the most beautiful and peaceful. He bid farewell to his earthly life and lengthened his life that was originally extinguished like fireworks in the sound of the Buddha's name. Looking at his story, it seems that very few of his practices were for the purpose of becoming a Buddha. He spent most of his time spreading the Dharma and educating sentient beings. Perhaps, what he expected was not the coolness of the wind in the Western lotus pond, but just wanted to use the wisdom of Buddha to extinguish the fire of human karma and seek peace of mind.
