Who is the Zen Master without Gate?

This poem was written by Hui Kai, a Zen master in the Song Dynasty. Because he has no door and no faction, he is called a monk without door.

Name: People call it "ode" or "ode to the past"

Interpretation: It has its beauty all year round. There are flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter. If there were no worries and worries, then every day would be the best season in the world.

Appreciation: an open-minded, childlike, carefree person is beautiful and auspicious all year round. On the contrary, if you are full of resentment and suspicion all day and are anxious about some trivial things in your life, you will not feel good in the face of flowers in spring, bright moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and heavy snow in winter, let alone enjoy the gift of nature. Monks without doors are Taoist Zen monks.

Speaking of Zen, it is not mysterious. Zen is a normal mind, a carefree and peaceful state of mind, and an ideological realm of stepping out of self. If a person wants to be carefree, he must be good at adjusting his psychology, be calm and fearless when things happen, be able to let go and overcome. If you want to be a winner in the world without being dominated by the world, you must, like Fan Zhongyan, "worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world later" in order to achieve "not being happy with things, not being sad for yourself". This carefree mental state is the most important psychological quality for old comrades to maintain their physical and mental health, and it is also the road to freedom and happiness.

Wumen Zen Master, born in Qiantang, Hangzhou, with a common surname of Liang, was born in ten years and died in the first year of Ding Jing in the Southern Song Dynasty (183- 1260) at the age of 78.

Hui Kai, a Zen master, was inspired by the word "enlightenment" mentioned by the suffering ginseng, and paid special attention to the method of "enlightenment". He carefully selected and compiled the important cases of Zen in the past dynasties, selected 48 of them, and compiled a book "Wumenguan", and prefaced himself: "There is no road in the main road, and there are roads in different ways; After this, Gan Kun went his own way. " The case of Zen master Zhao Zhou's "dogs have no Buddha nature" was listed as the first case, and the ideological gist of Master Huineng's "no mind, no sex" was obtained.
