Does anyone know what a Zen practitioner s heart looks like?

How to put it, a true Zen person has no worries at all, can see everything, and is a little uneasy about the status quo.

Oh, the avenue is natural, the sky is as calm, the sea is as wide, and the earth is as virtuous, this is the heart.

You can only know yourself, you can't speak, let alone care about others? (The trail is insufficient, but the avenue is complete).

Indifferent and ambitious, quiet and far-reaching.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was a Zen man named Lazy Remnant, who had extremely high attainments in cultivation and was famous. One day, the emperor sent an envoy to invite him into the palace. When the messenger arrived, the Zen master was barbecuing taro in the mountains.

When the messenger read the decree, the Zen master turned a deaf ear. It was the middle of winter, and the Zen master was thinly dressed and frozen. Seeing this, the messenger advised the Zen master to wipe away his nose.

Unexpectedly, the Zen master said, "I don't have time to wipe the snot of the laity." Because in the realm of Zen masters, they have long transcended these differences, and they are chic and unrestrained.

His poems are a true portrayal of this kind of life, this state of mind and the model:

The world is leisurely, not as good as the hills. The green pine covers the sun, and the green stream flows for a long time.

The mountains and clouds are the curtain, and the night moon is the hook. Under the lying vine, a stone pillow.

If you don't serve the Son of Heaven, you can't envy the princes. There is no worry about life and death, and there is no need to worry about it.

The water and the moon are invisible, and I am always only Ning. All laws are born from nothing.

I sat down with nothing to do, and the grass was green in spring.

Zen practitioners live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, facing the green mountains and green waters, only a bottle and a bowl, and there is no concern. For them, life and death are no longer a problem, what else is there to worry about, what is worth worrying about?

In the time of the Buddha, there was a prince of Bati and two fellow Dharma friends meditating in the mountains and forests. One day, the three of them couldn't help shouting: Happy!

Happy! When the Buddha heard this, he asked, "What makes you so happy?"

Prince Bati said, "I think when I was in the palace, I worked day and night to slow down my work, and I had to worry about my own life. Although I lived in a luxurious and comfortable palace, ate Zen and enjoyed the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, wore silk brocade, and had guards to protect my side from time to time, I always felt fearful and uneasy, I couldn't eat well, and I couldn't sleep well.

Now that I am a monk and participate in meditation, I no longer have any burden in my heart, and I spend every day in the Dharma, no matter where I go, I feel comfortable and comfortable, so I can't help but cheer from the depths of my heart. 」

"Zen mind" is a term that refers to the mind that is not contemplative, that is, the mind is focused on a certain state, and it also refers to purifying one's own state of mind according to the foundation obtained from meditation.

I thought that "Zen Heart" was a pot of tea in the afternoon sun; "Zen heart" is a tree Bodhi in the vast green field; "Zen heart" is like an inch of time in the flowing years; "Zen Heart" is an episode in the drama of life.

"Zen heart" is to pick up the cold branches in the silent mountains and forests, and fish alone in the lonely boat willow bank river and snow; "Zen heart" is to rush back and forth on the red dust road, and to be happy in the wind and rain.

The realm and ultimate of "Zen mind" lies in the fact that if you are sitting in meditation, however, your mind is outside the earth; If you are in the earthly world, but the mind can still be in meditation?

Life seems complicated, and the road of life is difficult, but you always find peace in the simplest and cleanest place. The sufferings and twists and turns of life are also a kind of illusion of karma, although it is deeply imprinted in this body, there is a feeling of pain and trouble, but if the mind can clearly perceive the cause and effect and can break through the consciousness of trying to catch up, suffering is the elimination of karma, not grinding into talent, not suffering is not life. "Everything in the world, if our mind is single-mindedly grasping, is painful. ”
