See how the old monk Xuyun interprets Qing'an

Chinese Master 2015-07-25

Some real practitioners have very light walking, soft and low voices, and are smiling, kind and kind when talking to others. All their words and actions have the demeanor of Zen, giving people a feeling of being as a fairy, which is a form of lightness and peace.We often say that someone is well-educated, but someone is not well-educated. In fact, it depends on how light and at ease.

I have been by the old monk Xuyun for nearly three years.Every day I see the old monk's daily life, daily routine, and diet.His daily washing of his face is the same, and he will not change any more.Every day I wash my face, I have those handfuls, all of which little water, and that fixed action.And I use a small washbasin that will not splash water on the ground.From those very subtle places, you can see the life art of a Zen master.Every morning, I wash my face the first thing I do when I wake up, and then meditate after washing my face. Every day, I am like that. My life is not messy, and I don’t do whatever I want. Life seems to be a scheming. I must do those things in an orderly manner every day.

The simpler life is, the simpler our heart will be; the simpler our heart will be, the more opportunities we will have to obtain lightness and peace.Anyone who lives a very chaotic life is basically a rough-hearted person.A person with a rough heart and a frivolous heart must have no fate with Qing'an.Qing'an means being destined to be with those who have regular, quiet, peaceful and gentle lives.

When the old monk walked, although his shoes were not very healed at his old age, his shoes would not be dragged underground or sounded.The feet can always be lifted.Lift your feet lightly and lower your feet lightly so that your shoes won't be thrust.When the shoes are dragged on the ground, one is that there is a sound, and the other is that the shoes are prone to damage.The most important thing is that if you step on an ant under your feet, lift your feet gently, and the ant will not step on it. If you drag your shoes on the ground, the ant will be dragged to death.Therefore, it is directly related to caring for life and cultivating compassion.

When the old monk eats, he will be able to eat more of this meal and eat less of the next meal.As long as he is healthy and in normal condition, he will eat regularly.Regular feeding is of great help to your health.Because of the functions of our digestive system, how much work can we work every day, the functions of the digestive system are also changing with age.Therefore, eating in moderation every day is definitely beneficial to physical and mental health, and it does not mean that the more you eat, the better.Because eating too much does not necessarily allow you to fully absorb it.If it cannot be absorbed, it will only cause a burden on the stomach and intestines, and it will also affect the health of the body.

From the old monk, you can see the Zen master's relaxed and comfortable life mentality and art of life.

As an old man, he had patched up many patches in the clothes he wore, but his whole body was clean, not like some old man who dropped rice grains on his body and dripped vegetable soup on his body, and his chest was like a person who was frying fried dough sticks.Old Monk Xuyun doesn’t know.Clean and refreshingly, a patched jacket sets off the silver beard, which is really a fairy-like and amiable.Although the old monk rarely smiles every day, he still feels like a spring breeze when he walks to him.

A Zen master's compassion is manifested entirely from his entire physical and mental world, his words and deeds.The expression on his face, his eyes, his words, actions, and actions are all full of compassion, lightness, and joy of Zen.Therefore, when we learn Zen and practice people see some old monk's portraits, we must carefully observe how his clothes are, how his hands are, and how his facial expressions are.From these places, we can see the inner world of Zen masters, which is where we learn.

Therefore, when learning Zen, you must have a gentle mentality so that your body and mind can spend every day in peace and comfort.Lightness and peace are a manifestation of meditation.Lightness and peace are not just a worldly appearance, but not just a kind of leakage method. Lightness and peace are also connected to the law without leakage.If you are light and comfortable without attachment to appearances, you will understand the method of non-leakage.When you start practicing lightness and peace, you may need to be attached to appearances; if you do it freely, you will not be attached to appearances, and everything will be natural, and you will not be gentle but will be gentle. At that time, it is a kind of good deed without leakage.This kind of good deeds without leakage helps us to obtain various meditations without leakage.
