Zen poetry

Shanneng was a Zen master in the Southern Song Dynasty. He often said: you can't have an affair once, but you can't live in the sky forever; You can't be in the sky forever, and you can't know what happened. And how romantic was Tao? Everyone is afraid of heat. I love the long summer, the fragrant wind comes from the south, and my temples are slightly cold. I will and won't, but I won't accept it.

Mo Zhu zhuzhu

Su Shi once sat in the class and painted roses for a while. There was no ink but cinnabar on the desk, so he picked up the cinnabar on the desk as ink and painted bamboo. At this time, someone asked: "I have only seen bamboo, where can I find bamboo?" Su Shi asked, "There is no ink bamboo in the world. You can draw bamboo with ink, but you can't draw with Zhu! 」

Appreciation of Zen poetry

An unnamed name is born because of its right and wrong, but unreasonable because of its reason.

People are limited to their own opinions, and often see human mistakes, not their own ignorance; I am good at meeting people, but I can't see myself. It is common to draw bamboo with ink, but the color of ink is not bamboo, so why can't it be bamboo? That is, when you are used to your own position or viewpoint, it is difficult to think or treat people, things and things around you fairly. Because of this restriction and bondage, people have lost the ability to see the truth clearly. Dongpo's spear of the son and the shield of the attack illustrate the fallacy of the questioner, so he was slammed by Dongpo and was speechless. However, if the questioner refutes Dongpo that bamboo is neither red nor black, if ordinary people are used to painting bamboo with black, they must also accept painting bamboo with vermilion. Is it reasonable? Just like if the first mistake is tolerated and not corrected, are the second and third mistakes acceptable? Therefore, only by not being limited by what you know and see, and not leaving both sides, can you get true clear wisdom.
