Appreciation of Buddhist Zen poem "Stop at Tongguan"

Dongshan good price

Well, seeing the current learning trend, Qian Qian definitely recognizes his family.

Like pilgrims in Beijing, they only stop at Tongguan.

The record of fingering the moon 16, p. 283.

New singing method in vernacular Chinese

Modern practitioners are really touching!

Many people walked to the door and thought they had arrived home.

Actually, it's still far away.

It's like going to Chang 'an to see the emperor.

But when we got to Tongguan, it stopped.

Analysis and appreciation

Some people say that "Zen madness" refers to people who practice tantric Buddhism. Because they attach importance to inheritance, regard the guru as a Buddha and obey the guru's orders 100%, they sometimes do strange things that outsiders can't understand. Mr. Chen Jianmin, a great Tantric yogi, once said, "A man who wants to obtain the supreme Dharma should put aside all worldly things and concentrate on the guru to make him happy." He gave an example. One winter, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the excrement collectors didn't come for days. The trash can dedicated to the guru is full, and everyone is complaining. Hearing this, Chen Jianmin immediately "bravely stepped forward, grabbed his bucket and walked around in the snow until he emptied it, washed it and put it back in its usual place, and the guru rewarded him". Please note that Mr. Chen Jianmin replied, "I will not hesitate to ask the guru to let me taste the feces."

As for Zen fanatics, it is because Zen is considered as the supreme secret, a superb solution, without words, moths that eat Buddhist scriptures, and without all forms and authority. Therefore, people who practice and don't go home sometimes inevitably become arrogant. They don't have the credentials of a master, but they have the ostentation and extravagance of a master. Even Sakyamuni Buddha will be killed and fed to the dog when he comes!

Dongshan Liangjia said: "Well, looking at the current learning trend, Qian Qian definitely recognizes the door." To put it bluntly, that is to say, many people feel that they are enlightened only when they are enlightened, and there is no need to practice again.

Human consciousness is very wonderful, it can conjure up a perfect illusion to blind us. If it is not strictly tested by reason, we can easily believe the illusion created by consciousness. For a simple example, when we are asleep, but we have a strong sense of urine, we sometimes get sleepy and go to the toilet. Therefore, a good consciousness will weave a dream, in which we go to the toilet to urinate, as if telling ourselves: "children!" You have finished urinating, go back to sleep! " But when we finally wake up, we will be very surprised. Our stomachs are full of urine, and we can sleep so soundly!

Few people know that consciousness is really easy to produce an illusion of "I am enlightened"!

If a person feels that he is not enlightened, that's good. Keep trying. If a person feels enlightened, he should be especially careful. It is best to check whether he is true in many ways. If he is true, he won't become a fake just because you are sure later. I'm afraid it's dangerous to determine yourself too early. Because, a person who thinks he has no consciousness may be enlightened in the future, and a person who thinks he has realized will not be enlightened again. He stopped at the door, maybe only a small step away, but he just stopped.

Even, he will prove to others that those who are still outside the door are as open-minded as he is, and that is human nature. When someone affirms, "You understand!" Usually, most people will be happy to accept it. If this group of people flock to become an organized group, when everyone is sure: "that's it, yes, we are all enlightened!" " This collective illusion is more difficult to correct.

This lying disease of "speaking without understanding" has been spread from the Buddha's time to today, and it is still very rampant, and people get sick every year.

Perhaps the best secret of immunity is this sentence: "Take your time, my friend. Good things always take a little time to brew. "
