From a poem by Zen master Baizhang in Tang Dynasty, the whole poem is as follows:
Fortunately, Gan Kun won a free man for Buddhist monk Futian.
Destined to live, there is no chance to go, and a breeze sends white clouds.
Vernacular translation: I am fortunate to be a monk in Shan Ye and be free in the noisy world. If my destiny takes a hand is this place, I will live here for a long time. If not, I will wave my sleeve robe and leave with a breeze like blue sky and white clouds.
Extended data:
This poem by Zen master Baizhang describes the carefree natural life of monks. At the beginning of the poem, the words "Fortunately, I am a monk in Fukuda's clothing, and Gankun has an idle person" mean that becoming a monk in life is a blessing.
This poem tells the Zen master's free and easy adaptation: the heart is like a mirror, things reflect when they come, and things disappear without a trace. "A wisp of breeze sends white clouds." There is no reason to insist, all fate has its own destiny; Since there is no chance, let it be.
Baizhang Zen Master is an important figure in the history of Zen in China, and a monk of Zen in the Tang Dynasty. Wang, common name Mu Zun, from Changle, Fujian. He is a descendant of Mazu Yi Dao, the pioneer of Hongzhou Sect, and the maker of Zen jungle law.
After the middle Tang Dynasty, due to the sharp contradiction between the old religious discipline and the development of Zen, Huaihai boldly reformed the religious discipline and established Baizhang Puritanism. Clearing the obstacles for the development of Zen has an indelible and significant contribution to the development of Zen. It is another great Buddhist virtue after Master Huineng.
