The phrase "palm flower is full of courtyards, and Taiwan moss enters the leisure room" gives a vivid sketch to the temple. This is a quiet Buddhist temple. It was so quiet that the moss climbed not only into the yard but also into the room. It can be seen that this place is not disturbed by outsiders, and the monks are still indoors. But this monastery is very lively. Aren't all the courtyards in palm flower in full bloom? The lively and bright "palm flower" filled the courtyard, full of vitality and freshness. Silent and secluded moss is scattered on the steps at will, all the way into the monk's room, moving quietly, one hot and one cold, forming a sharp contrast, outlining the vast and quiet Buddhist temple, but full of vitality, which is not contradictory to each other. How do you know that the flowers and trees in this Buddhist temple are nothing but prajna paramita? Green bamboo is full of dharma.
The scenery in front of us naturally makes the poet feel deeply. It is the realm of self-enlightenment, "everyone's famous words are in their proper place, and the air smells wonderful." There should be more than one monk in the meditation room, so the word "each other" is used. "Name" refers to spirit and "speech" refers to language. Monks are relatively involved in meditation, and there is no language communication or spiritual communication between them, but they can reach a tacit understanding and create a realm, and they are deeply immersed in meditation. Thus, just like when Bodhi reached meditation, Indra was scattered in the sky, and the author seemed to smell the strange fragrance in the air. Zen believes that the true state of enlightenment is unspeakable, and once it is explained, it is distorted, so all monks are silent. The author expresses this state bit by bit, which makes this little poem memorable. Shi Buhua, a critic in Qing Dynasty, commented that this poem was "Zen in the sentence and verve outside the sentence" in On Servant Poetry, which was very accurate.
