The reader s original edition has an issue about Master Li Shutong

"Li Shutong's Self-cultivation", "Selected Poems and Writings of Li Shutong", "Dream Shadow of Southern Fujian".

Li Shutong's Self-Cultivation is a spiritual guidebook, and his experiences, thoughts, and words have the enduring power to calm the mind in the present nearly 100 years later.

In the past, Li Shutong was omnipotent, his family was superior, his poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his voice and color were all amazing, but he resolutely became a monk, from gorgeous to extremely dull, converted to his own heart, transcended the world, and became a pure Buddhist master, this life is full of legends and mysteries. This book is the first time to systematically and comprehensively display the mental journey of Li Shutong (Master Hongyi).

Li Shutong's achievements:

Li Shutong's contribution to Buddhism is mainly reflected in his research and promotion of Vinaya. In order to revitalize the study of law, Master Hongyi was not afraid of difficulties, studied deeply, devoted himself to the precepts, wrote books and teachings, and practiced them. He is a highly respected Vinaya master in modern Buddhism and a well-known Buddhist monk at home and abroad.

In the early days of Uncle Li's entry into Buddhism, in addition to reading the scriptures that monks must read, his further study was widely accepted. What's more, he was a person who did everything seriously and thoroughly unless he didn't do it. As a monk, in terms of Buddhist thought, you naturally have to make your own characteristics.

The reason why Li Shutong became a monk is that during the fasting period, he personally experienced the feasibility of the Dharma, realized the truth of the impermanence of all laws, felt the benefits brought by the Dharma, believed in the Dharma, and knew the truth of the Dharma, so he became a monk.

Buddhism was introduced to China from the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and it has been more than 1,800 years since Uncle Li's contemporary, and it has developed very maturely, and there are many celebrities who love Buddhist culture in Chinese history.

For example, Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Li Shutong's father, Li Shizhen, were people who loved Buddhist thought, and they were influenced by their father when they were young and had a good impression of Buddhism. Later, when I came into contact with Buddhist teachings, I was deeply attracted and felt that it was meaningless to pursue fame and fortune. This should be the reason why Li Shutong is determined to become a monk.

Character evaluation. He is the forerunner of China's New Culture Movement, an outstanding artist, educator, thinker, and innovator, an outstanding representative of the combination of Chinese traditional culture and Buddhist culture, the most outstanding monk in the history of modern Chinese Buddhism, and a well-known person with a high international reputation.

Li Shutong is a master of "Twenty Articles in the Sea", a collection of poetry, lyrics, calligraphy, painting, seal carving, **, drama, literature in one, in many fields, opening a precedent for China's splendid culture and art. At the same time, he has developed creatively in education, philosophy, law, Chinese characters, sociology, advertising, publishing, environmental and animal and plant protection, and human fasting experiments.

Master Hongyi's splendid life of Li Shutong.

Li Shutong and Master Hongyi are the same person, and I believe that some people know it, but some people don't. Li Shutong's favorite student is Feng Zikai, and Master Hongyi's four sets of clothes every spring, summer, autumn and winter are provided by Feng Zikai alone. I like the beautiful melody of "Farewell Song" very much, but I am even more unforgettable with the lyrics of Uncle Li's work:

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green.

The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.

The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered;

A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight.

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green.

Ask you when you will go, and don't linger when you come.

The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered;

Life is rare for reunions, but there are many separations.
