From a work by Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, To the Elder Lin Dong.
"To Lao Lindong"
The sound of the stream is long, and the mountains are not clean.
When the night comes to 84 thousand, how will you mention yourself like a man tomorrow?
Explanation:
Wide and long tongue: Chinese vocabulary, explaining the tongue of Buddha, and later metaphorically speaking eloquence.
Cleanliness: describes the purity of the Buddha's body without any stain.
Luotuo: Luotuo, a Buddhist term, translated as ode. As one of the genres of Buddhist scriptures, there are two main types: one is called Tongmao, which consists of 32 chapters in Sanskrit; Second, never say goodbye, * * * four sentences, each sentence varies from four to seven. Monks often use this four-sentence rhyme to explain Buddhism.
Give directions, tell.
Extended data:
To Elder Lindong is a beautiful Buddhist poem.
"The sound of the stream is full of wide tongues", and the stream keeps flowing forward happily. We ordinary people can certainly hear the sound of water, but since Su Dongpo explained that "the sound of streams is all wide-tongued", the flowing sound of streams, like the wide-tongued tongues of ten buddhas, has declared us endless wonderful methods, from which we can hear that all methods are silent, and all methods are the same. What a wonderful state this is.
"the mountain is nothing but a clean body." Blue sky, blue sky and white clouds are clean dharma bodies, even smoke is clean dharma bodies. This realm embodies the realm of Buddhism. Through the illusion, we can regard the truth as nature and realize that all Buddhism is a good place for Buddhism. "Speaking of 84 thousand at night, how can you be like a person in the future?" The realm of Buddhism is to see that all dharma is dharma, understand 84 thousand words, and then spread the dharma to the world, repay four kinds of goodness and help three kinds of suffering.
