Zen Story-Bodhi Without Trees
Hui Neng is not so lonely and difficult. She sells firewood in the market for a living. After reading the Diamond Sutra, I was enlightened and went to the hometown of Wuzu to study law.
One day, Grandpa Five called the janitor to his side and said, "I told you, this is a matter of life and death for everyone." What you have to do all day is to enjoy a good life instead of suffering. If you lose your nature, how can you save happiness? You all dedicated your wisdom to me in a poem. If you understand, I will let you be the sixth generation. "
People are waiting for Shanxiu to sell tickets. Shan Xiu secretly wrote on the wall: "The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is a mirror. Always wipe diligently and do not produce dust. "
The fifth ancestor made a wizard wick and incense to recite this sutra. But he said to Shen Xiu, "You don't see the nature in this poem. You only go out, not in. For such insights, it is impossible to seek supreme bodhi. "
Although Huineng can't read, she doesn't know her own nature after hearing this sentence. One section says: "Bodhi has no trees, no mirrors, nothing and no dust."
The crowd was shocked. Uzugaza polished his shoes and said, "I've never seen sex either." Because there is no place to live, I can only live in my own heart. Since I am calm, why should I live forever? The realm of the Five Ancestors is impressive.
