Manjushri Taking the Bowl The Higher You Look Up Yan Hui praised Confucius's learning, saying: 'The higher I look up, the more lofty it seems; the more I drill into it, the more solid it becomes; looking at it, it seems to be in front, but suddenly it seems to be behind.' The Same in Different Circumstances Yu (Xia Yu, an ancient Chinese sage) and Ji (Hou Ji, an ancient Chinese agricultural official) in times of peace, passed their homes many times without entering, and Confucius considered them virtuous. Yan Hui (Yan Hui, Confucius's disciple) in times of chaos, lived in a humble alley, with a basket of rice and a ladle of water, others could not bear the sorrow, but Yan Hui did not change his joy, and Confucius considered him virtuous.

After hearing this, they eliminate their sins and are reborn in the Western Pure Land, etc.' The Superior Virtue on Vulture Peak Ultimately Results in Defeat At the Vulture Peak Assembly (Vulture Peak Assembly), five thousand people withdrew, and at the Avatamsaka Assembly (Avatamsaka Assembly), the absence of Vairocana Buddha (Vairocana Buddha) and others is also of this kind.

宗。路遇婆子。买点心。婆子问云。所担者何物。曰。金刚经青龙钞。曰。金刚经云。三心不可得。尊者欲点何心。山无对。后至龙潭。往复扣击。晃然大悟。乃曰。穷诸玄辨。若一毫置于太虚。竭世枢机。似一滴投于巨壑。乃焚青龙钞云。 妙首白槌 世尊一日升座。文殊白槌云。谛观法王法。法王法如是。世尊便下座。天童颂云。一段真风见也么。绵绵化母理机梭。织成古锦含春象。无奈东君漏泄何。 双林抚尺 梁武帝请傅大士讲全刚经。大士座上挥案一下。便下座。帝愕然。志公问陛下还会么。帝云。不会。志公云。大士讲经竟。 仙陀婆 仙陀婆。梵语。具盐水马器四名。惟有智臣。乃能辨识。如王食时呼仙陀婆。即知要盐。如王洗盥索仙陀婆。即知要水。如王作众务时呼仙陀婆。即知要器。如王出游索仙陀婆。即知要马。 觅心了不可得 初祖住止少林。二祖晨夕参承。时当隆冬大雪。光坚立不动。迟明。积雪过膝。后潜取利刀自断左臂。曰。我心未安。乞师与我安心。师曰。将心来与汝安。曰。觅心了不可得。曰。与汝安心竟。 现代汉语译本 宗(僧人名号)。在路上遇到一位老妇,要买点心。老妇问:‘你担的是什么?’ 宗回答:‘《金刚经青龙钞》。’ 老妇说:‘《金刚经》说,过去心、现在心、未来心,三心都不可得。尊者您想点哪个心呢?’ 宗无言以对。后来到了龙潭,反复叩击,豁然大悟,于是说:‘穷尽世间玄妙的辩论,就像一根毫毛放置在太空中;竭尽世间重要的机关,就像一滴水投入巨大的山谷。’ 于是焚烧了《青龙钞》。 妙首白槌 世尊有一天升座说法,文殊(文殊菩萨)敲击木槌说:‘仔细观察法王的法,法王的法就是这样。’ 世尊便走下座位。天童禅师作颂说:‘见到这一段真风了吗?绵绵不绝的化母在织机上穿梭。织成古老的锦缎,蕴含着春天的景象,无奈东君泄露了天机。’ 双林抚尺 梁武帝请傅大士讲解《金刚经》。傅大士在座位上用戒尺拍了一下桌子,便走下座位。梁武帝愕然。志公禅师问陛下:‘您领会了吗?’ 梁武帝说:‘没有领会。’ 志公禅师说:‘大士讲经完毕了。’ 仙陀婆(saindhava) 仙陀婆(saindhava),梵语。具有盐、水、马、器四种含义。只有聪明的臣子,才能辨别清楚。例如国王吃饭时说仙陀婆(saindhava),就知道是要盐;国王洗漱时索要仙陀婆(saindhava),就知道是要水;国王处理事务时说仙陀婆(saindhava),就知道是要器物;国王出游时索要仙陀婆(saindhava),就知道是要马。 觅心了不可得 初祖(菩提达摩)住在少林寺。二祖(慧可)早晚侍奉。当时正值隆冬大雪,慧可坚决站立不动。直到天亮,积雪已经没过膝盖。后来他偷偷取出利刀,砍断了自己的左臂,说:‘我的心不安宁,请师父为我安心。’ 达摩说:‘把你的心拿来,我为你安。’ 慧可说:‘寻找心,最终是找不到的。’ 达摩说:‘我已经为你安心了。’

English version Zong (a monk's name) encountered an old woman on the road who was selling snacks. The old woman asked, 'What are you carrying?' Zong replied, 'The Qinglong Commentary on the Diamond Sutra.' The old woman said, 'The Diamond Sutra says that the past mind, present mind, and future mind are all unattainable. Which mind do you want to choose?' Zong was speechless. Later, he went to Longtan, repeatedly inquired and pondered, and suddenly realized the truth. He then said, 'Exhausting all the profound arguments in the world is like placing a hair in the vast emptiness; exhausting all the important mechanisms in the world is like dropping a drop of water into a huge valley.' So he burned the Qinglong Commentary. Miaoshou Strikes the Wooden Hammer One day, the World Honored One ascended the seat to preach. Manjusri (Manjusri Bodhisattva) struck the wooden hammer and said, 'Carefully observe the Dharma of the Dharma King; the Dharma of the Dharma King is like this.' The World Honored One then descended from the seat. Zen Master Tiantong composed a verse saying, 'Have you seen this true wind? The ceaseless Mother of Transformation weaves on the loom. Weaving ancient brocade, containing the image of spring, but what a pity that the Lord of Spring leaked the secret.' Shuanglin Strikes the Ruler Emperor Wu of Liang invited Bodhisattva Fu to explain the Diamond Sutra. Bodhisattva Fu struck the table with a ruler and then descended from the seat. Emperor Wu was stunned. Zen Master Zhigong asked, 'Has Your Majesty understood?' Emperor Wu said, 'I have not understood.' Zen Master Zhigong said, 'The Bodhisattva has finished explaining the sutra.' Saindhava (saindhava) Saindhava (saindhava), a Sanskrit word. It has four meanings: salt, water, horse, and utensil. Only a wise minister can distinguish them clearly. For example, when the king is eating and says Saindhava (saindhava), he knows that he wants salt; when the king is washing and asks for Saindhava (saindhava), he knows that he wants water; when the king is handling affairs and says Saindhava (saindhava), he knows that he wants a utensil; when the king is traveling and asks for Saindhava (saindhava), he knows that he wants a horse. Seeking the Mind is Ultimately Unattainable The First Patriarch (Bodhidharma) lived in Shaolin Temple. The Second Patriarch (Huike) served him morning and evening. At that time, it was the height of winter with heavy snow. Huike stood firmly without moving. By dawn, the accumulated snow had passed his knees. Later, he secretly took out a sharp knife and cut off his left arm, saying, 'My mind is not at peace, please Master pacify my mind.' Bodhidharma said, 'Bring your mind here, and I will pacify it for you.' Huike said, 'Seeking the mind, it is ultimately unattainable.' Bodhidharma said, 'I have already pacified your mind.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
