Zen Zen in the process leading to their goal will always encounter
all kinds of difficulties at this time, only those who never give up

The secret of life
Once, in the Mount Huangshan Valley to visit the ancestral heart see Jackson, Jackson Day easily everywhere smooth, serene and at ease, the Mount Huangshan Valley feel Jackson has a unique secret life never taught.
One day, they walked in the hillside, the road on both sides of the
full variety of flowers, brilliant purples and reds, fragrance.
Jackson asked the Mount Huangshan Valley progenitor heart: "you
smell the flowers?"
The Mount Huangshan Valley looked on both sides of a gardenia, jasmine, lily, and then looked at the top of the cliff temple around the full bloom of osmanthus, could not help but praise: "certainly smell so sweet!"
Later, they climbed a small hill, looking ahead, I saw the
undulating mountains, in an unbroken line, white clouds entanglement, sunset sunset.
Jackson asked heart progenitor Mount Huangshan Valley: "you see this beauty?"
Mount Huangshan valley of praise: "this is like a fairyland, unforgettable ah."
Jackson progenitor heart nodded, smiled and said: "you are the same
as me smell the flowers, see the scenery, so I did not hide what to
you!"
The Mount Huangshan valley was suddenly wake up.
Zen Buddhist life secret, and not what special methods and skills,
but at every moment and every moment and place free. If the day for some Sunian negative tired, his eyes will only see, two ears. Don't smell the wonderful scent,
See the beautiful scenery, can not comprehend the secret of
life.
The value of stone
Once there was an orphan, living alone, neither can the world, also
do not have the money to do business, he is very confusion and hesitation, drifting and begging days, nobody thinks highly of him. One day, he felt no longer live this way, then go to see a monk, ask him.
The monk took it to an overgrown stone beside, pointing to a stone said: "tomorrow morning, you take it to the market to sell, but remember,
no matter how many people out of money to buy the stone, you are not to sell."
I thought the stone orphan doubted, although good, but how would anyone buy it? But he is still holding the stone to the fair, squat down in an inconspicuous place selling stone.
However, it is a stone ah, no one put it in the eye. The first day, second days later, still No one shows any interest in. Know third days, people have to ask. Fourth days, really some people want to buy a piece of stone. The fifth day, the stone has been able to sell a good price.
The orphans back excitedly to the temple monk report: "so much money can not think of a stone value."
The monk smiled and said: "tomorrow to get the gold market up, remember, no matter how much money they don't sell." The orphans took the stone to the gold market, a day, two days, third days, and the people around him asked, a few days later, more and more people ask the price, the price has been too high a price of gold is more and more powerful, but still not to sell the orphans. But the more such curiosity is greater, the stone prices being driven higher.
Orphans to find eminent monks, the monk said: "you put the stone to the jewelry market to sell, remember, no matter how much money people can not sell."
The orphans to get the stone jewelry market, also appeared in the same situation, in the end, stone prices have become even higher than
the price of jewelry. As the orphans in any case do not sell, it is known as a "rare treasure".
In this regard, ask the monk be not a little bewildered orphans.
The monk said: "the world of people and things are so, if you
believe you are an ugly stone, then you could always just an ugly stone; if you believe you are a priceless gem, then you are a priceless gem."
Zen Buddhist value as long as their own, love yourself, life will have meaning, value. The value of people is their own decision, and each person's destiny is by their own master. Is the ugly stone or stones, to see his attitude.
Scraping gold save
A beggar came to the West Wing shabby in dress in front of Jackson, crying out to him: "we have several days run out, there
are elderly people need to worship, a child in need of care, one family was starving. Master compassion, help us, our one family will always remember the master favor??????"
Rong Xi Jackson undaunted, although he wanted to save the family,
but successive years of drought, the temple is also eating on the Dayton, let him how to save the poor people? Rong Xi Jackson temporarily at a loss what to do.
Suddenly,
He saw the side of gold. After thinking for a moment, he would not hesitate to climb to the Buddha, the Buddha of gold with a knife to
scratch down with a cloth, and then handed over to the beggar, said: "the gold, you sell it, change some food to save your family!
The beggar see Jackson, Yuxinburen said: "how can I receive this money. This is a sin ah, forcing Jackson so difficult, is to let people feel uneasy!"
Rong Xi Zen disciple also could not help but say: "Buddha body gold is Buddha clothes, how can the master to give! This is not to offend the Buddha? Not to Buddha disrespectful?"
Rong Xi Jackson rightly replied: "you are right, but I Buddha of compassion, willing to use his flesh to give people, not to mention just his clothes! This is my Buddha wish ah! The family was starving, even the Buddha gave him, is also in line with the aspirations of the buddha. If I do this to hell, just to be able to save sentient beings, then I would also will not
refuse under any circumstances!"
Zen Buddhist charity, compassion is not to say you can, and should
be put into action. Faith should be reflected in the action, and not get bogged down in the form of surface. If only a formality to show for a belief and ignore the essence of belief, so for this belief is nothing more than a false show.
Have common sense
A little monk a monk asked: "master, you practice and Enlightenment of self-cultivation and what is the secret?"
The monk replied: "."
"What is your secret?" The little monk asked.
The monk replied: "I feel hungry when they eat, they feel tired to sleep."
"But, what is this out of the ordinary secret? Everyone is so ah."
The monk replied: "of course is not the same! They are always
thinking of something else, don't eat meals; they are always dreaming sleep, sleep. While I eat is to eat, what also don't want to sleep; I never dream, so sleep. This is the place I was out of the ordinary."
The monk said: "the world is difficult to do with one, they can not use the shuttle in the advantages and disadvantages, a
common heart to treat the vanity of the spoiled, the" all thought "and" a delusion. ". They stay on the surface of life before, this is the biggest obstacle in their life, they lose yourself, lose the
'normality'. You know, only the soul into the world, to feel the life, to find the true meaning of life."
Thus, no distractions of the heart is the real heart. It takes practice, need to hone, once we reached this state, can be in any situation, to maintain the best state of mind, give full play to their level, display their talent, in order to achieve the perfect self".
Zen Buddhist people often because of utilitarian heart and too tired to go, in fact, we should learn to a common heart to treat everything, will see the outcome through high official positions and riches, success or failure, can feel the true meaning of life, to live more easily.
What is the most precious in the world?
Once upon a time, there was a round sound temple, there are many people burn incense to Buddha incense is very busy every day. At the sound of the temple before the beam on a spider net, because by incense and devout worship nurtured every day, the spider had Buddha nature. After one thousand years of cultivation, spider Buddha increased many.
One day, the Buddha visited the temple, see here, incense is very busy, very happy. Leave the temple, inadvertently looked up and saw the spider on the beam: "you see my whole fate, let me ask you a question, you practice these one thousand years,
what is the high perspicacity. How?" The spider was very happy to meet the Buddha, hurriedly promised.
The Buddha asked: "what is the most precious world?" The spider thought, replied: "the world's most precious is' not 'and' lost'." The Buddha nodded and left.
It has passed five hundred years, the spider is still in the
practice round sound Temple beams, it greatly increased the buddha. One day, the Buddha came to the front of the temple, the spider said: "you can be good? Five hundred years ago that question, you can have a deeper understanding of what?" The spider said: "I think the most precious in the world is' no 'and' lost'." Buddha said: "do you think again, I'll come for you."
Five hundred years later, one day, the wind blowing, the wind blew the dew drop spider web. Looked at the spider nectar, see it shining brilliantly, very beautiful, she had a crush on him, spider dew looked
very happy day, it feels that it is two thousand years the most happy days.
Suddenly, there is another gust of wind blew off the dew. What
spider suddenly feel lost, feel very lonely and sad. Then the Lord Buddha came again, and asked the spider: "spider, these five hundred years, you want this question: what is the most precious world?" Spiders of dew, still on the Buddha said: "the world's most precious is' not
'and' lost'." The Buddha said: "well, now that you have this knowledge,
I want you to go to the earth for a walk."
In this way, the spider reincarnated into an official family,
became a wealthy lady, her parents a name Zhuer, flash, spider son
at the age of 16, has become a very pretty and charming girl, long very beautiful, lovingly pathetic.
This day, Shinco Zhuangyuan langgan deer Jinbangtiming, the emperor decided in the back garden for he held to celebrate the feast, dinner to many young girls, including spiders, and the emperor's little princess Changfeng princess, Zhuangyuanlang banquet performance in poetry, the
big stage, the presence of a little girl impressed by him. It's not a
bit nervous and jealous, because she knows that this is the Buddha gave her marriage. ,
A few days later, as it happened, spider son accompanied her mother
to burn incense to Buddha, just sweet deer was accompanied by his mother. After the worship, and said the words for the elderly. Spiders and sweet deer came to the corridor chat, the son is very happy, can finally be
together and love, but sweet deer did not show for her love. The son of Gan Lu said: "don't you remember sixteen years ago,
The sound of the temple spider web thing?" Kennedy deer very surprised, said: "Zhuer girl, you are very beautiful, very sweet, but love you too rich imagination." He and his mother left.
Zhuer home, I thought: "the Buddha has arranged this marriage, why not let him remember that thing? Why not a deer feel for me?" A few days later, the emperor, Shinco Zhuangyuan Kennedy deer and Changfeng princess married; Zhuer and Prince Edward chicho married. This news to Zhu as a bolt from the blue, she
could not understand how so she had to buddha.
After hearing the news a few days, she did not eat or drink, life on the verge of death or destruction. The prince chicho know, hurried, fell upon the bed, said to the dying spiders: "that day, all the girls in the garden, and I fell in love with you, I beg my father, he made a promise. If you die, then I would not live." He picked up the sword ready to commit suicide.
At this time, the Buddha came, he was out of the shell of the soul
of Zhu said: "spider you may have thought that the dew (Kennedy deer) who brought you here? Is the wind (Changfeng Princess) brings, finally
it is taken away by the wind. Amritar belongs to Changfeng princess, he is but an episode in life for you. The prince chicho year round sound temple in front of a grass, he saw you two thousand, love you two
thousand, but you have not seen it from her head. Spider, I ask you, what is the most precious world?"
Heard the truth, she seemed suddenly greatly discerning and apprehending the Buddha said: ", in the world the most precious is not a 'no' and 'lost', but now the grasp of happiness."
Just finished, the Buddha on the left, the soul of Zhu also returned to the position, she opened her eyes and saw the prince chicho about committing suicide, immediately knocked the sword, and Prince chicho deeply embrace...
Zen Buddhist world too many people stubbornly pursue their own not
to or have lost something, give up front with extreme ease of happiness, this is how not worth it? The most precious in
the world is not "get" and "lost", but now the grasp of happiness.
No Oliver
When Shakya Muni claims is always courteous and accessible, often
say something like that, familiar with the disciples. In order to make people understand, he was always easy, with metaphors meanders, all the disciples feel very cordial.
One day, Shakya Muni said, a disciple asked him "not innocence" is not really.
For this problem, Shakya Muni did not directly answer, but made an analogy: "there is a pair of tongs, it is hot, but the naked eye can't see it. If you take this tongs, know it is hot or not damaged, know it burning hot damaged?"
The disciples thought the answer: "we should not know it was hot damaged. Because they do not know that no preparation, when it is hot it is too late to take preventive measures."
Shakya Muni said kindly: "yes! If you know the poker hot and get frightened, will be deeply wary,
Not the slightest effect would be hard to catch with. Is not visible, "I do not know who is guilty, but I do not know who suffer most.". It is because the unknown truth, so will be in pain in the waves tossed down."
Zen meditation often is foolish, ignorant of the people most
likely to hurt the most, because they cannot be learned through
the analysis of the background and possible consequences; only
the "knowledge" can make people wise, to find the truth.。
