Zen master Xu Yun (1840 ~ 1959), who preached the Dharma Cave, is also a descendant of the poor and needy, reviving the Cloud Gate, helping the eyes of the dharma and continuing to respect, which is a great virtue of the five dharma veins of Zen. Master Xu Yun's life is legendary. He has experienced numerous hardships and legendary (miraculous) events. According to legend, in order to repay his mother's kindness, Zen master Xu Yun fought to the death twice in the three-step The Way from Putuo Mountain to Wutai Mountain, and was saved by the incarnation of Manjusri Bodhisattva. This story was widely praised by later generations and recorded in Biography of Monk Xu Yun and Chronicle of Monk Xu Yun.

Three steps and one worship, five episodes of hunger and cold beggars to save.

In the eighth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (19 years old), the old monk fled home to Yongquan Temple in Gushan, Fuzhou, and often shaved the old man's head. The following year, according to the drum mountain Miaolian monk to give a ring. How time flies! The old monk gave up love and said goodbye, and it was more than twenty years in an instant. I thought that the Taoist industry had made no achievements and drifted in the wind all day, so I sent five gifts to my parents in return for their kindness. In the eighth year of Guangxu reign (43 years old), on the first day of July, he offered incense in Hokkeji, Putuo, Zhejiang, and made a three-step worship. At that time, there were four Zen monks, Quan Zhen, Qiu Ning, Shan Ya and Jue Cheng, who attached incense. After crossing the sea, there are not many trips every day, stopping at Huzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou and other places. The four of them retired by half, and the old monk bowed forward alone, crossed the river to the Rongzu Tower in Li Niutou, Nanjing, and stopped at the Lion Mountain Temple in Pukou for the New Year. The following year, I started from Lion Mountain, entered Henan from northern Jiangsu, passed Fengyang, Haozhou, Ling Hao, Songshan and Shaolin Temple, and arrived at Baima Temple in Luoyang. I went for a walk, and after a night, it was cloudy. If I do, I will worship the name of the Bodhisattva, full of bitterness and hunger, and I have not missed it.

In October, I crossed the Yellow River Railway and Wuling, stayed in a hotel on the first day, crossed the river and berthed the next day. It was too late and no one was there. There is only one stall on the roadside, and no one lives there. The old monk stopped at this point and sat cross-legged. At night, the snow is long and the cold is biting. The next morning, I looked up and it had become a glass world. The snow is several feet deep and there is nothing to do. There was no one in the past and I didn't know where to go. There is no fence in the hut. At first, the old monk sat chanting, hungry and cold, and then curled up in a corner. The bigger the snow, the colder the weather, the hungrier the abdomen, and the dying, but the mindfulness never forgets. On the first day, the second day and the third day, if it snows, if it is cold, if it is hungry, it will gradually enter a coma. On the afternoon of the sixth day, the snow stopped. I saw a little shadow of the sun, but I couldn't get sick. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, a beggar came and saw the old monk sick in the snowdrift, unable to speak. Knowing that I was frostbitten, I brushed away the snow and cooked yellow rice porridge with grass in the shed. After the old monk ate it, he was revived with heating, otherwise he would freeze to death in the snow. Old monk, please name the beggar and say "Moon Hee".

Stay in a ruined temple, seriously ill. Bodhisattva incarnates again to save.

In the 10th year of Guangxu reign (Shen Jia was forty-five years old), on the second day of the first month, the old monk began to burn incense at Hongfu Temple and arrived at Huaiqing House. In Xiaonanhai, the city, he was not allowed to spend the night, so he had to stay outside the city. The abdominal pain was extremely severe that night, and I continued to worship in the early morning of the fourth day, and it was cold at night. On the fifth day of May, I have loose bowels, but I still have to pay homage every day. 13, we arrived at Huangshaling, and there was only a ruined temple on the top of the mountain without shelter. At this point, we couldn't walk, rested, didn't eat, and had diarrhea dozens of times day and night. We can't start, and there are no passers-by, so we are waiting to die.

/kloc-Late at night on 0/5, I saw a fire burning under the Western Wall. At first, I suspected a gangster. I looked carefully, and it turned out to be Ji Man. He was overjoyed and called "Mr. Man". Ji Man lit a fire and said to the old monk, "Master, why are you still here?" "The old monk told Moon Hee what had happened. That night, Moon Hee sat next to the old monk and brought him a glass of water to eat.

/kloc-On October 6th, Moon Hee changed the dirty clothes on the old monk and gave him a cup of medicine. /kloc-retired on 0/7, ate two bowls of yellow rice porridge, broke out in sweat, and was brisk inside and outside. 18, the condition eased a lot.

The old monk thanked Moon Hee and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for lifting the danger twice." "Moon Hee said," It's a small matter. Don't mention it! I found that you haven't been to many places since you went to Los Angeles. I don't know when you can come. You are in poor health and it is absolutely difficult to do it. You don't have to worship, and so does the ceremony. The old monk replied, "I can feel your kindness, but I was born without a mother." My mother died for me, and my father only gave me a son. I ran away behind my father's back My father's life is short because I resigned. It's been decades. I hereby make a wish to ask the Bodhisattva to add a quilt to the mountain. I hope my parents will get rid of their misery as soon as possible and have a pure land. Despite all the difficulties, I dare not give up my wish before I reach the holy land. 」

Moon Hee said, "It's rare that you are sincere and filial. I'm going back to Channel 5 today. There's nothing urgent. I am willing to help you with your luggage and travel with you. You only need to worship before, and you will be much more relaxed and more focused. " The old monk said, "It's a great achievement to be able to do this. When I visit five stations, I am willing to use this merit, half of which will prove Bodhi to my parents early, and the other half will reward you for your help, ok? " Moon Hee said, "No, you are Xiao Si, and I am by the way. You don't have to thank me. " Moon Hee has been nursing for four days, and her illness has gone away.

This is the second time that Manjusri Bodhisattva appeared to visit the old monk's heart and save him.

Later, the old monk Xu Yun finally arrived at Wutai Mountain, but he couldn't find the person who claimed to know everyone. Later, an old monk listened carefully and told Xu Yun, "This' Ji Man' is really the incarnation of Manjushri. Since then, the empty cloud knows that the Bodhisattva has been saved for the second time.
