Today, I accidentally received a friend's WeChat, a frame of photos, a few sentences of voice, asking how the works of a certain painting are.
The painting is made by Mr. Cai Jianzhong, in the picture, on the left, there are three old people talking about heaven on the side of the Book Mountain, and in the right corner there is an old greeting who rushes to the scene, and the theme of the fallen is cloud: All the Fa comes from nothing, and there is nothing.
As shown in the figure:
Author: Cai Jianzhong
I read the money, wanted to say it again and again, and felt that it was difficult to answer. Why do the good and the bad ask me? Saying good and bad is my opinion, do you believe it or not?
After thinking about it, he replied:
"All dharma comes from nothingness, from existence to nothingness." It is better to believe in books than to have no books. There is law within the book, and there is law outside the book. Everyone must always have their own experience, not to follow the clouds, not to move dogma.
Cai Jianzhong borrowed the painting to explain the reasoning, saying that he was using the method of self-knowledge to express it, not in a certain family and a certain sect. The intention is to be outside the painting, I say good or bad is only what I see. If the picture falls, the method of appreciation is also dialectical between existence and non-existence, and there is no need to ask others.
When I say this, I don't think it is a negative trust between friends, this is not face-to-face tea and chat, right and wrong talk is a laugh. Not to mention that there is almost no communication between each other in ordinary times. My conclusion is only based on me, it is a self-gain and loss view, and I am worried that my friends will use my opinion as a yardstick.
This reminds me of the popular dispute between Zeng Xiang and Ertian, which is popular on the Internet, all around the broken things of calligraphy. Who is good and who is bad is unknown. I initially paid attention to some of the comments, but then I didn't bother to look at them. The communication of many issues is not on one level, and the attitude is clear that I think so, and this is the reason under the sky. This behavior reminds me of a story I have seen in the past, and I can't remember the details of the specific language described, so I will collect it.
Leisurely Heaven and Earth Heart (Author: Myself)
If there is, then I will attach it in passing:
In the Southern Song Dynasty Li Zhiyan's "What I Saw in the East Valley", it is recorded:
There is a master and a servant who have been serving for a long time, climbing a mountain suddenly, encountering a monument, and the three words of the big book "Taihang Mountain". The Lord gladly said, "Today I will see mount Taihang." The servant then teased: "The officials are illiterate." Just a big line of mountains, an too far mountains? "Lord. The servant laughed incessantly, and the Lord was angry. The servant said to the official: "Ask the natives here, if it is the Taihang Mountain, a certain fine has always been with the official, if it is a Daxing Mountain, the official should reward a certain money consistently." The Lord laughed and agreed. Before the trip, I heard the sound of the city learning to read, and the lord said: "Just ask the reader." "Then go to his door." The old Confucian came out and told the Lord what had happened. Old Ru smiled and said, "The public should reward the servants, this is just a mountain." The servant looked at the Lord sideways: "But so-and-so said yes." "The Lord retreated. The servant asks for money, that is, to sell the drink. The Lord, who had been unable to calm down for a long time, asked to see the old Confucian again, and questioned: "The general will be said to be a native and a scholar, can it be proved that it is not like the words of a stupid servant?" Old Ru laughed and said, "The public can be said to be ignorant of things, and has always been rich and trivial, and teaches such generations to never know what it is." "The words of the old Confucian of The Taihang Mountains are quite interesting, and now there is truth or wrong, and there is no need to argue with those who are ignorant.
Thinking is outside the clouds
Indeed, it is so: I would rather lose money consistently, so that he will not know the Taihang Mountains for the rest of his life. His purpose is not to learn cultural knowledge, not to learn, and not to need a teacher, so how can he talk about the role of enlightenment?
Of course, I said that this story had nothing to do with what my friend had asked, but it was only his incident that brought this thought to me.
Finally, attach a friend's reply:
I know thank you [hugging fist]
I also replied:
Only rewarded, sorry! Good or bad, thank you for giving me a chance to learn and reflect.
