Wash your heart and experience wisdom—Fayun

The story of Master Haitao 2024-03-29

The Cloud of Washing Heart Experience and Wisdom

Master Fayun of the Tang Dynasty was the son of the Zhao family of Yanmen. He was simple, honest and kind by nature, and he was very frank about the ridicule or praise he had caused to him by others.

But when he was at school, he was stupid, as if he was very slow and had a good memory. When he was twelve years old, his parents simply sent him to Huayan Temple in Mount Wutai to worship Zen Master Jingjue as his teacher.

After becoming a monk, he lived a life of carrying firewood and water every day, and was not afraid of hard work at all. When he was thirty-six years old, he still could not recite scriptures and daily classes. Everyone saw that he was so stupid, and they ridiculed him as stupid as a "ox".One day he suddenly thought, "My qualifications are so stupid. What's the point of living in the world for many years if I continue like this!"

At that time, the weather was so cold that it was snowing heavily in the sky. He walked barefoot on the snow and bowed towards Mount Wutai. He recited the holy name of Manjushri and vowed to pray to the Bodhisattva to open his mind. Like this, he prayed day after day while praying. The weather was very cold and he didn't know that he had to wear clothes to keep the cold. He forgot to eat when he was hungry. He didn't know that he had his own body in his heart, and did not know that he had other things outside. He only wanted to see the Master.

As long as you meet someone along the way, ask:

「Where does Manjushri live?"

Of course, the answers he asked for were disappointed, because no one could know the whereabouts of the Great Saint Manjushri Bodhisattva.After walking all over Wutai and Wufeng, he still couldn't see the Great Sage. Later, he came to a temple and asked to give some food to fill his hunger. After eating, he wanted to see the Bodhisattva, and his will became stronger, just to the point of being fascinated.

He came to Dongtai again and saw an old man keeping warm with fire, he respectfully asked:

「May I ask this great master!Where is Manjushri Bodhisattva staying in?Can you know?"

The old man replied, "What did you ask him where he was going?"

Fayun said, "I am stupid by nature and want to ask Him to open up my bright intelligence."

The old man said:

「Haha, Manjushri?That thin, depressed and clumsy guy, you'd better not see him!"

Seeing him say this, Fayun thought that the old man was a crazy and arrogant person who could talk nonsense, so he walked towards Beitai Mountain in disappointment.

After arriving in Beitai, I saw the crazy old man I had seen before sitting there in Xuejiu, and a rare thought arises in my heart, thinking that the old man might be the real Manjushri!He went forward to bow, because he was too tired all the way and was hungry and cold, so he fell to the ground and vomited blood from his mouth, feeling confused as if he was in a dream, but he saw the old man saying to him:

「In your past life, you were a monk. Because you were greedy for other people's fame, fortune and stingy with the Dharma, you fell into the body of a cow and received ignorance and ignorance to repay the past debts you have accumulated in the past. However, because you were the monks who were blessed by the Buddha's power, you would have to restore your human body in this life and become a monk. Due to the remaining habit of stinginess in the Dharma, this is why you cannot recite scriptures and teach lessons!"

After saying that, the old man used an iron Ruyi hook to hook his heart, and he didn't know the pain at all.

「Look at it yourself, what does this look like?"

It's really scary!Just like the heart of a cow, the old man washed the removed cow heart in the patio, then calmed him down and shouted, "Okay, get up!"

He was confused and suddenly woke up. He didn't feel any pain or discomfort at all. He was just sweating all over his body.I went to find the old man again, but I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked for it.

At this time, auspicious clouds suddenly floated from the sky, and the soft wind blew on her clothes. She looked up at the sky and saw a round light as bright as a mirror. In the round light of the bright light, she saw the old man sitting upright on the lotus, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Since this experience, all the sutras and treatises that Master Fayun has recited before have been remembered clearly, as if he had memorized them before.From then on, I practiced the Dharma and gave sacrifices for life, and was as eager as if I had to put out a fire and urgent need.

Once, the ritual surrounds the Ashoka Tower. At the third update, he saw a white light like water, connecting from Beitai Mountain to the vulture. The sky pavilion appeared in the middle, and the brilliant treasure light reflected. The plaque of this sky pavilion contained the words "Good residence". He knew that this was where he was.

It was the spring of the 23rd year of Kaiyuan. He bid farewell to the public and then quietly passed away.
