Li Xiuyuan was born in Taizhou, Zhejiang, in a wealthy family that has been an official for generations. He was the late son of his parents and was pampered from an early age. Under the influence of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, he showed extraordinary talent. What's even more amazing is that he also took a medical course, which gives him a unique insight in the field of medicine.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and the Li family suddenly changed. After experiencing great changes in his family, Li Xiuyuan chose to become a monk in Guoqing Temple, Lingyin Temple, Jingci Temple and other places, and named him Daoji.
Although the monk Daoji is in the Buddhist gate, he is completely different from those monks who only know how to eat fast and recite the Buddha. He interprets the true meaning of Buddhism in a unique way, allowing people to see the image of an eclectic monk.
He does not abide by the rules of Buddhism, is tired of sitting meditation, alienates from the scriptures, has a soft spot for wine and meat, and behaves like crazy. As a result, the world gave it the name "Jidian".
Daoji does have a unique opinion on this: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha stays in his heart, and if the world learns from me, it is like entering the devil's way." However, under this unruly appearance, the flower monk Daoji often carried out righteous deeds in the market to save the life and help the wounded, rob the rich and help the poor, and fight the injustice.
He helped the needy, eliminated violence and peace, promoted good and punished evil, left a deep mark in people's hearts, and was known as "Jigong Living Buddha". This living Buddha, holding a broken fan in one hand, caressing a rosary in the other, and resting his feet on the wine vat, has a unique image. In the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, the Daoji Zen Master Hall stands tall, and the Buddha statue is his symbol.
Whenever pilgrims come here, they will be impressed by his virtues and grateful for his kindness. His image has long transcended the mortal world and has become a divine existence in people's hearts.
According to the record of "Quotations of Jidian Daoji Zen Master", on May 16, the second year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1209), Jigong suddenly said to everyone: "Today I will return." Then he called for a shaver, boiled the bath water, shaved his head, bathed it, changed into clean clothes and monk's shoes, sat on a meditation chair, and waited for the end of his life.
Before that, he briefly reviewed his short but fulfilling life and wrote "The Death Verse" with emotion.
For sixty years, the east wall has hit the west wall.
Now that he has cleaned up, he is still blue.
In the poem, he recounted that he had gone through 60 years of ups and downs in this complicated world, with great ambitions and a desire to achieve fame. However, he has been busy all his life, and looking back on his deathbed, Fang Jue is still the same as the mountains and rivers, and the water is the same as ever, as if he met for the first time.
It turns out that the realm we are striving for, the pinnacle of our dreams, is often not far away, but on the land we live in every day, which is the true meaning of living in the present.
The past is gone and irretrievable, and the future is unpredictable and cannot be forced. Only the present belongs to us, and it is also our truest need. Comprehend the irretrievable past, understand that the future can be pursued, grasp the present, and leave no regrets.
As he wrote in his poem, each of us is unique from birth. We should not only live for fame and fortune, but also for the eyes of others. Both rich and poor have their own way of life.
There is a way to live with money, there is a way to live without money, in short, when you come to the world, you have to bask in the sun more.
