Since ancient times, philosophers have not lived forever; Life returns to death and turns to dust. "To be honest, when I first read Hanshan's poems, I really didn't know why I was famous for such poems. But when people reach middle age, think about their life experiences, recall past dreams and look at such poems. My heart is full of infinite emotion, and I am deeply moved by the affection of Hanshan. When we were young, we longed for power and success, we longed for wealth and fame, and then we wanted to be mentors of others-even without culture, we were still good teachers. Even in Hanshan's view, becoming a philosopher is the greatest greed in life. So he lived in the mountains all his life, just as the Buddha taught him, "As I said, if you are a raft metaphor, the law should be abandoned, let alone illegal! "When we understand this, we will read Hanshan's Life Rebirth, which will eventually turn into dust. When we think about it, life is really like this. God, how easy it is to know and how unwilling to admit it! If a person really understands this last sentence, how comfortable and meaningful his life should be!

Another example is "I have been sitting on a cold mountain for thirty years". How many people can do this? You know, Hanshan is a person who knows how to lament that he has stayed for thirty years! Some people will feel sick if they don't go to the bar for two days; If you don't eat the meat of all beings for two months, you will feel very painful; I don't swear for half a year and feel like an alien. Has anyone ever wondered what a wise man and a poet will do when they live in a cave in stormy years? We only look at the beauty of Hanshan's poems, but we should also think that there is also his wisdom of decades of practice. "People don't know and don't care", which is the most beautiful place.

Those exhortations, such as "we don't like each other, lotus seeds are like Buddha's soup" and "giving alms to make money and greedy for the poor in the world", have unlimited practical effects.

If Hanshan's poems are classified as Zen poems, the reasons are naturally very sufficient. He has a special enlightenment to Zen:

"There is a cave at home, and there is nothing special in the cave; Clean and empty, Guanghua tomorrow. Vegetables nourish the micro-body, and cloth covers the illusion; You can be a thousand saints, and I have a naive Buddha. " Naive Buddha is also a word commonly used in Zen later.

Of course, there are more poems that express the feelings of an enlightened person-

Bijian spring water is clear, and Hanshan Yuehua is white;

Knowing God in silence is self-evident, and observing the empty environment is more than silence.

My heart is like an autumn moon, and the blue pool is deep and clear;

There's nothing like Aaron. Teach me how to say it.

The joy of the monk is beyond words. The phrase "the more empty the environment, the more lonely it is" is straightforward, which makes people feel that the case of Zen Buddhism in later generations is troublesome! When we are used to delusion and prosperity, we ignore the great power contained in the simplicity of Hanshan's poems. But it will not disappear because of our neglect, and it will exist for a long time.
