"Accidental"
A few times the West Lake was on a boat alone, and the master knew that I did not know money.
A chirping bird broke through the silence, and it was the mountain that fell across the side.
This is a beautiful Zen poem.
What an open-minded monk! When he was happy, he traveled alone in the West Lake, and the master would understand, and he had no intention of asking for money with this famous monk who was mixed up in the rivers and lakes. The Master of Theory is me, and I am the Master of The Pennies. Those who are self-measured, and those who are self-measured are self-respecting. How many degrees did he get on the boat, what was his preference? It is the "silence" of the birds crying, and it is the distance of the "mountain falling". Lyrical scenery and blending of scenes can be described as a wonderful and occasional experience.
Another poem by Daoji describes the good deeds of the West Lake: "Out of the shore peach blossom red Jinying, jiayang willow green silk light." Look at the egret peeping at the fish, and break through the flat lake a little green. It can be seen that this crazy monk who loves to communicate with nature is also a Danqing magician in the poetry world. Whether it is "a cry of a bird breaking the silence" or "breaking through the Flat Lake a little green", it is a wonderful sentence.
His poem "Self-Praise" is extremely comfortable: "Drunken arrogance and wind are endless, and the staff tip is bright and the moon crowns Nanzhou." Who can solve the problem of turning around and moving? Snow-covered reed flower twelfth floor. "Turning around in the red dust, moving into the avenue, how many Zen wind currents appear!"
"The sky and earth in front of the green basket are wide, and the water and clouds under the green coat are wide. What do you know without saying a word? Just put your heart in the dark. "This poem is also a great portrayal of the enlightened one of the great self.
Hui Ming Zen master, who is known as "Ming Epilepsy" with the same name as Daoji, can also write poetry and good rhythms, and his composition "Hand Shadow Drama", which uses shadow drama as a metaphor for life zen enlightenment, can be described as exquisite: "Three feet of raw silk as a stage, all by ten fingers to be witty." Sometimes under the bright moon lamp window, a smile still comes from the grasp. ”
