"The true meaning of Zen in life" can be summarized in two sentences: practice in life and live in practice. The reality of life is life, and how to deal with the confusion in life is a crucial issue. There are five words engraved on the Kumarajiva stupa of Caotang Temple: Worry is Bodhi. In other words, worry is life, and worry is Zen. The transformation between "worry" and Zen is based on the word "namely". If you can "get it", you can transform them. If you can't "get it", you can't transform them. "Bodhi" is enlightenment, and the life of enlightenment is the life of Bodhi and Buddhism.
Zen in life is to get rid of troubles. This method has four sentences: first, put faith into life. Ideals and beliefs can only be completely realized if they are put into practice. Second, practice is in the present. Trouble is bodhi, so we should solve it now. "Namely" is an equal sign, but this equal sign is not easy to draw. It requires practitioners to solve their troubles immediately and achieve Bodhi. Third, integrate Buddhism into the world. Huineng, the sixth ancestor, once said: "Buddhism is on earth, and going out of Kuboth is like seeking a rabbit's horn." . If we can't do this, Buddhism will only exist in the sutra depository forever, and Buddhism will never be realized. Fourth, integrate the individual into the public. This sentence is easy, but it is difficult to do. People always take the lead. But if everyone leaves the public, they will not only achieve nothing, but may even lose their lives. A tree can't be a forest, but a lush forest is a gathering of many lush trees.
"Practice in life, live in practice" is the way to learn all Buddhism and all laws in the world.
Wake up life: talk about how to be a man; Dedication to life: It's about how to do things. How to be a man? There are eight words: faith, cause and effect, conscience and morality. How to do things? There are also eight words: gratitude, tolerance, sharing and affinity. Elder Jing Hui is alone in the world. He is not isolated, but inseparable from everything in the world. The reason why a flower can bloom brilliantly is the achievement of the whole universe, so we should face the whole world with gratitude. At the same time, the world is colorful, because there are different colors of flowers in the world. With tolerance, the world can present beautiful colors. All man's achievements are not his own, he should share them with the public, and return them to the public with a sharing attitude. With regard to affinity, Elder Jing Hui said that in the world, career is often achieved, and "affinity" is gone. This mentality is unacceptable. It is necessary to achieve destiny with the heart of career and achieve career with the heart of relationship. Master Jinghui concluded that these are the two eight-character principles that I advocate for being a man and doing things, and the truth of Zen in life is contained in this truth.
