It can be big or small

Buddhist knowledge 2025-01-28

A believer asked Master Wude: "The same heart." Why is there a difference in heart volume?"

The Zen master did not answer directly. Instead, he told the believer: "Please close your eyes and silently build a wall." ”

So the believer closed his eyes and meditated, and conceived a city wall in his mind.

Believer: "The city wall is completed. ”

Zen Master: "Please close your eyes and silently create a hair." ”

The believer also made a hair in his heart.

Believer: "It's done. ”

Zen Master: "When you build a city wall, do you build it with only your own heart?" Or do you borrow other people's hearts to create together?"

Believer: "I will make it with my heart alone." ”

Zen Master: "When you make a hair, do you use all your heart to create it?" Or did you only use part of your heart to create it?"

Believer: "Made with all your heart." ”

So the Zen master said to the believers: "You build a big city wall with only one heart; To make a small hair, or to use a heart, it can be seen that your heart can be big or small!"
