What are the epigrams in Buddhism?
Since ancient times, the jungle has been a gathering place for ten people. In the past, four famous mountains, four jungles, four Zen forests and even eight sects in Chinese mainland all had their own Dojo. In these jungle Dojo, there are not only the old and the young, but also the level of education and qualifications, and even the wise, fools and sages. On weekdays, there are always more than 100 to 1000 people living. In the life of seeking Tao and participating in learning, there are some jungle terms circulating, which can be used as the motto of police policy and also let us know about participating in learning in the jungle. Here are a few examples:

(a) by Huashan ring, carrying a pole rope; Smelly pickles eaten after class;

Out of the money, squatting in the dark; To get the Huashan precepts, you must be patient.

In the past, Baohua Mountain was a national missionary center. Two-thirds of monks who become monks are taught precepts twice a year by Baohua Mountain, and the arahant precepts of 1,200 people are taught once every three years. From this jingle, it is not difficult to see why Huanhuan seeks precepts in the jungle.

(2) Jinshan Leg is fragrant, and Changzhou Tianning is easy to raise.

Jiaoshan steamed stuffed bun covers Sanjiang and Shanghai Haihui lira cavity.

Jinshan Temple refers to Jiangtian Temple, which, together with Gaomin Temple and Tianning Temple, is one of the three jungles in Lin Ji. You should have a pair of soft and durable legs when you meditate in Jinshan Temple. Gaomin Temple has the longest incense sitting time; Tianning Temple is the richest provider; Jiao Shan's big steamed stuffed bun is the most famous snack for meditation at night. The rules of Haihui Temple are the most relaxed.

Although it is only a few short sentences, it tells the truth about the clan style of each Dojo and can be used as a reference for monks to participate in learning.

(3) Two and a half pounds of clothes, two and a half hands to wash your face. Eat four sentences and think about it in class.

The clothes owned by learners add up to only two and a half pounds; The water used to wash your face is as simple as wetting your face twice. Before eating, you should put your hands together and read four sentences, and keep five views on food, which means that monks accept support only to run a Taoist school. This is the attitude of eating and practicing.

But in modern people's life, "a single coat is two and a half kilograms" is impossible, so I wrote a song for reference: "A single coat is ten kilograms, a pair of trousers, two and a half hands for washing your face, only a towel, a pair of shoes and socks, a toothbrush of Yang Zhi and a small bag of alkaline powder. The less luggage, the easier it is for everyone to worry. 」

(4) There are three reasonable poles and three unreasonable poles.

Ruthless and emotional, unreasonable and sensible means of education is nothing more than a way of "killing your mind and letting you live according to the law." Therefore, under the premise that there is no right or wrong in the jungle, we must bear the chain washing of three poles and three poles.

(5) put your eyes away!

When studying in the jungle, the picket teacher looked at the students around curiously and always scolded: "Close your eyes! Remind everyone not to be confused by the colorful dust outside, but to concentrate on their inner efforts.

(6) Ginger grows on trees and Gleditsia sinensis grows underground.

Ginger grows on the ground and Gleditsia sinensis grows on the tree. On the other hand, it is emphasized to accept and practice the novice monk completely and unconditionally, because the novice monk has not yet reached the condition of "doubt", and everything must start with "conviction" and wait for the climate. Naturally, it is "a little doubt and a little understanding, a big doubt and a big understanding."

(7) Without tasting three iron bars first, making nine copper hammers for eating and drinking.

If the five views make it clear that gold is changeable, three hearts are not easy to disappear.

Stealing food without serving Buddha will be met with three iron bars; Cooking privately requires nine bronze hammers; Explain the strictness of jungle life. You must do five kinds of visualizations when eating at ordinary times. Even steel can be digested. On the contrary, dripping water is hard to melt.

(8) It is not easy to eat ready-made meals;

Let's talk about it later, so as not to confuse the authorities.

Every meal is cultivated by farmers, made by workers and sold by businessmen. At the same time, it must be combined with all the causes and forces in the universe, such as water, soil, sunshine and air, and become a meal for us to satisfy our hunger. How can I not be grateful and unrepentant when eating? "Misfortune comes from the mouth", so be careful what you say and don't say anything else, so as not to cause disputes and regrets.

(9) A grain of rice in the eyes of the Buddha is as big as Mount Sumi. If people can't understand Tao, they wear fur and long horns.

A grain of rice is the product of many karma, and its merit is as great as that of Xumi Mountain. In addition to cherishing the blessings, we should also be diligent in the Tao. Otherwise, it's hard to break your promise, even if you want to be a cow in your next life.

(10) The wisdom of the masses lies in you alone; If you ignore it, you are guilty.

The rules and regulations of meditation practice depend entirely on Weiner's leadership, so the wisdom and destiny of the masses are tied together; Na Wei must be well maintained. If it is not well implemented, it is Na Wei's fault.

(1 1) Life and death are great, but impermanence is quick; Cherish time and wait for no one.

Most of this sentence is written on the clock board of the Zen Gate, always warning the meditators to cherish time and do what they can.

(12) Only two and a half mouths are allowed in the entrance of the hall.

"Two and a half mouths" have their own meanings at the entrance of Buddhist temple, Zhaitang and Zen hall. In the Buddhist temple, the big monk and the picket each opened their mouths, and the owner of Xiangdeng Temple opened his mouth about half, which means whispering. In the Zhaitang, the monk and the picket each open their mouths, and the waiter opens his mouth half-way, which means that if you need to go to class because of official business, you should speak softly and be brief. In the meditation hall, the seven main monks and Master Na Wei opened their mouths, while the teachers opened their mouths half-way. That is to say, in the meditation hall, in addition to the monks and Master Na Wei, the teachers should also speak quietly and not interfere with others.

The temple of the jungle is solemn and quiet, and there can be no gossip. Except for "two and a half mouths", others are not allowed to speak at will. This can not only highlight the discipline of the jungle, cut off right and wrong, but also purify the monk group and achieve the Taoist cause.

(thirteen) five classes, the clock board is complete. Ocean bills of lading gather people, and the wind spreads far and wide.

Only when the Dojo with five lessons and complete clock boards is called "jungle" can the Taoist seeker admire and participate in learning.

In addition, the description of dignified behavior, such as:

6? Walk like the wind, sit like a bell, stand like a pine, and lie like a bow.

6? 4. Face hammer, flat mouth chin, folded wooden fish, flat chest hafnium.

6? 4. Improve the Buddha's voice and slow down the flow of water, chanting and walking geese;

Hands folded like water, standing on it like oil.

Look forward and look back, move lightly, swing from side to side, open your eyes;

Prestige is always like this, and being a bhikkhu is not empty. (Wei Yi)

6? Look around and listen to all directions, nose is just a spy;

The teeth are not white, and the mouth can't be pointed;

With dignified hands and long feet, a person's body is a good Dojo.

Police employees should be diligent and never relax, such as:

6? 4 gold clothes, silver guest hall; Pearl agate under the warehouse.

6? Let go of your belly and eat vegetarian dishes, and stand firm and be a good person.

6? 4 don't break ginseng, don't close the door; There is no mountain without enlightenment.

6? It is better to sit quietly in the futon and wait for death than to become a monk on earth.

6? Four major deaths.

6? Take care of futon, take care of your feet and improve mindfulness.

6? 4 to be a Buddhist dragon, be a living thing first.

6? Instead of treating Buddhism as human feelings, let the old monk go to hell.

6? Take care of permanent things, such as pearls in your eyes.

6? Beat Misha, kneel down to the monk and burn the head of the Buddha.

6? Better move a thousand rivers than disturb people's hearts.
