However, several short essays are excellent works, which are quite elegant and leisurely to read, and people can't help but fall into meditation on secular life and impermanence.
And duck changming also has this feeling, he said:
The passing river is endless, but the water is not what it used to be. It's been a long time since the stagnant water floated and disappeared. So do people and homes in the world.
I don't know. Where did the new dead come from and where did they go? I don't know, who is worried about this dreamlike past, and why should I smile?
The way the host family is competing with each other is tantamount to dew on the morning glory. Sometimes the dew falls, the flower stays, it stays, but it withers at the sight of the morning sun. Sometimes the flowers fade and the dew does not disappear, but it does not disappear until dusk.
Since I learned about the world, I have seen incredible things in the world for forty years. It happened on April 28th in the third year of Anyuan (1 177). This is a night when the wind is howling. For a while, the fire spread from southeast to northwest of Beijing, and then spread to Zhuquemen, Dajidian, Daxueliao, Ministry of Civil Affairs and other places. Overnight, the fire turned to ashes.
People are all stupid. What a boring thing it is to waste money and energy building a house in such a dangerous capital.
Hunger lasted for two years, and tragic things happened in the world that I couldn't even think about. A year of drought in spring and summer, a year of strong winds and floods in autumn and winter, ominous things followed, and no crops were harvested. It was just a waste of time to plow in spring and sow in summer, but there was no joy in harvesting in autumn and storing in winter. The whole world is trapped in hunger and looks like a "fish without water".
The inferior people and Chai Fu are also exhausted, unable to carry firewood, and even firewood is in short supply. People who have no livelihood tear down their houses and go to the market to sell wood. Even so, the price of firewood brought by a person can't be controlled for a day. Strangely, in the firewood, there are wood blocks coated with red pigment and gold and silver foil. When I asked where it came from, it turned out that desperate people sneaked into the ancient temple, stole the Buddha statue, smashed the Buddhist tools in the Buddhist temple and stole them, sawed them into pieces and sold them as firewood. I saw such a cruel and shameless thing when I met such evil.
However, there are also quite touching things. Between couples who are reluctant to leave, those who love more must die first. The reason is that I cherish each other without considering myself, and occasionally the food I finally get is given to each other. By analogy, if a family has parents and children, parents must die first. I also saw this scene: I didn't know that my mother was dead, and the baby was still sucking her breasts and snuggling in her arms as usual.
Don't move the capital easily without special reasons. It is natural that the world is worried about moving the capital. However, it is useless to say anything. The ministers and officials have all moved away, headed by the emperor. Who wants to stay alone in their old capital if they have a part-time job? Those who are eager for promotion in official positions and positions and have the shadow of Lai Jun will strive to move to Xindu one day earlier; People who have lost time and hope are stranded in their old capital with a sigh. Luxury houses that used to compete with each other were abandoned day by day. The materials of the house were demolished, tied into rafts and transported by the river, and the Zhuang base became a field. The whole heart has changed. "The world is chaotic and fierce." It's true. Day after day, the world shakes and the people are uneasy. No one can deny the people's sorrow. In view of this, in the winter of the same year, the emperor returned to Ping An Beijing. What about the severely demolished houses? All-round construction may not return to its original state.
Legend has it that there was a famous monarch who ruled the country with kindness in ancient times, with a thatched roof and messy rooms. Seeing that there was suddenly no smoke, we reduced or exempted the rent tax already stipulated. This is for the benefit of the people and the world. Comparing the past with the present, the differences will naturally be understood.
If I am an inferior person, but I live near the gate of power. Then, even if I have heartfelt happiness, I can't enjoy it; Even if you are heartbroken, you can't burst into tears; Being in a dilemma, living in fear and trembling, like a sparrow near Ying Chao.
If I am poor but live near a rich family, then I will be ashamed of my poverty and pay attention to what I say when I go in and out. Seeing that his wife, children and servants envy the rich, and observing that the rich despise their behavior, they are always moved and always nervous.
If you live in a crowded and narrow area, if a fire breaks out in your neighbor, it will inevitably involve your own family. If you live in a secluded place and it is inconvenient to communicate with each other, it is even harder for thieves.
Powerful people are more greedy, and helpless people are more despised. With property, there is no peace; I was once poor, which made me feel sad and sorry. If you rely on others, you will lose yourself; Once you take care of others, your heart will be bound by love. Follow the crowd, involuntarily; If you don't go with the flow, you will be regarded as crazy. What kind of place to get and what measures to take to settle down temporarily, or for a moment, can you rest your mind?
I inherited my father and grandmother's family business and lived there for a long time. After his father died, his family declined, and there were many things to look back on, but in the end he couldn't continue to live. After the age of 30, a small temple was built at will. Compared with the house where I used to live, buddhist nun Junior is one tenth of it. It's just for shelter from the wind and rain, let alone a decent mansion. Finally, the earth wall was built, but the door could not be installed. A temporary hut was built with bamboo pillars to accommodate the ox cart. Every time it rains and blows, I feel scared. Because little buddhist nun is close to Hemaohe Road, he is worried about floods and thieves in Bai Bo.
I finally got through this hard-to-survive world, worrying about this and that, and it has been nearly 30 years. During the period, one thing after another backfired, which naturally made me wake up to my bad luck. Therefore, in the fiftieth spring, I decided to become a monk and live in seclusion. No wife, no inseparable relatives, and no official position. What is there to worry about?
Speaking of the appearance around Little buddhist nun, there is a raft in the south, standing on the rocks and holding water. There are also many trees in the forest. This place is famous for its mountains. It is covered with trees and vines. The valley is lush, but the western vision is endless. Is the absolute benefit of thought. In spring, the rattan waves fluctuate, reflecting the west like Ziyun. Listening to the cuckoo in summer is like an agreement to embark on an eternal journey after death. Qiu Chan's ears are full, and he seems to listen to the empty cicada. In winter, the snow is moving, and its elimination can be compared with the evil of the world.
If you are worried about studying Buddhism and can't devote yourself to reading the Bible, you can rest and be lazy at will. A person who is neither in the way nor laughed at. Because he lives alone, even if he is not good at nonverbal communication, he should take dental courses. There is no need to keep the precepts, because there is no realm. Why break them?
Looking at the ships coming and going from Okaya in the early morning, I feel like Bai Bo's back boat, only stealing the Sami customs. In the evening, the osmanthus wind sings leaves, and the heart rushes to Xunyang River, and the first-class source pipe pipa. You have fun, stroking a song "Autumn Wind Music" with the autumn wind, and playing a flowing Haruka with the sound of water. Although art is clumsy, it is not to please others. One should tune and chant, but cultivate one's own mind.
In the dead of night, the window and the moon miss the old friend, and the ape is on the sleeve. From a distance, the fireflies in the grass were mistaken for real island bonfires, and the drizzle blew away the leaves like a gust of wind. The bird whimpered, isn't this a visit from my dead parents? The deer on the peak is used to watching me approach, but I know I am far away from this world. Sometimes charcoal fire is dug out of the ashes, and the old man wakes up at night to make friends with it. Because it is not a terrible mountain, owls sound interesting. The fun in the mountains is endless in four seasons.
Occasionally, there is hearsay that many people with high status died after being locked in this mountain, and it is unknown that people with lower status died. Who can tell clearly how many houses have been burned down one after another? Only this small temple can sit back and relax. Although it is small, it has a bed to rest in the evening and a seat to sit in during the day. Snail is good for Beckham, because it knows there may be some dangers. The osprey lives on rocks near the water because it is afraid of people approaching. Me, too. I know myself and the world. I have nothing to ask for and nothing to run. I just want to be quiet and take pleasure in not worrying.
At present, my body is divided into two parts, my hand is the handmaiden of my heart, my heart is moving, my body is suffering, I rest when I suffer, and my spirit is calling. Even if used, it is not too much. Even if it is heavy, it is not upset. Moreover, you often walk around. In order to cultivate your nature, where is the rest for nothing? It is a sin to make others work hard and worry, so why use the power of others?
The same is true of food and clothing. If you want rattan clothes and hemp, you can cover your body, pick vegetables in the fields and fruits on the peaks, which can maintain your life to a certain extent. Because I don't communicate with others, I don't feel ashamed and annoyed by my shabby clothes. Because of the lack of food, wild vegetables and wild fruits are also eaten with relish. Perhaps this kind of fun is not worth mentioning to the rich, just my own comparison between the past and the present.
Buddha's teaching is, don't be persistent when you are in trouble. Now, I love the grass temple and have been accused. Clinging to leisure and silence also hinders enlightenment. Why waste time rambling about happiness that has nothing to do with enlightenment? Quiet dawn, think about this truth repeatedly, ask yourself, live in seclusion, do you want to cultivate your mind?
