Buddhist story: Zen case: Refusing to take responsibility

Once, Zen Master Lizong stood in front of the monk's hall late at night and shouted:

There are thieves! There are thieves!

The screams alarmed the crowd in the hall. At this time, a monk happened to run out of the hall. Zen Master Li Zong grabbed him and said:

Picking Master! I caught the thief.

The monk said to the point of refusing to say: Zen Master! You made a mistake, it’s not a thief, it’s me!

Li Zong refused to let go and said loudly: Yes, why don’t you take responsibility?

The monk was so scared that he didn't know what to do, and Zen Master Li Zong said:

For thirty years, the Ershizhai Porridge has been strong;

If you have nothing to do, you will have no choice but to go up the mountain and ask?

There is a way to capture the thief in the mountains, but it is difficult to capture the thief in the heart. In daily life, a person often uses the six senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind to grasp the six desire pleasures of color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and Dharma, which lead to various troubles and pains.Thirty years of practice, the two-hour porridge every day are just to subdue the thieves in your heart, and to understand them in this way. After going up the mountain and arresting the thief in your heart, Buddhism will be here!

The test of Zen Master Li Zong on Zen master is really a great opportunity and use of Zen master.

The six senses are all thieves, wandering around at six o'clock in the morning and night.

I went out for a walk on the street for nothing, but asked whom I caused trouble?

Twenty-four hours a day and night, how to protect the portal of our six senses and prevent them from acting recklessly is a lesson that cannot be ignored in cicadas.
