I firmly believe that many people have seen the animation "Smart Rest" when they were young. This film is full of philosophy of life and teaching meaning, and is loved by many people. Among them, there is a clever and ancient monster who likes to draw circles on both sides of the skull with his fingers when thinking, and it is also the favorite cartoon brand image of many people in childhood.
In fact, Brother Yixiuge has a real prototype in Japanese history, that is, Yixiuzongchun, a strange monk in Muromachi era in Japan. If you master the personal experience of the Zen master, you can see some of his personal experiences in the animation. Yixiuge is a delicate and perfect brand image in animation, but in the history of Yixiuzongchun, he made many incredible behaviors in his later years.
Zen master Yi Xiu Zong Chun was born in Kyoto, Japan on 1394. His real name is Qian Qian. The meaning of Yi Xiuzong's name stems from his philosophy of life that "the road of life is just a rest in the west when the world is troubled", which was given by his master.
He is not only a monk, but also a famous writer, calligrapher and artist. It is worth mentioning that he has always loved China culture and art all his life, and all the ancient poems are written in Chinese characters, which is also his uniqueness.
In fact, Yixiu was born in a famous family. His father was Emperor Komatsu and his mother came from Fujiwara in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Her name is Fujiwara Zhao Zi. Zhao Zi was spoiled by the emperor, but she was a spy sent by Fujiwara family to the emperor. She is full of hatred every day, thinking about how to assassinate the emperor. When the emperor discovered the motive, Fujiwara fled the palace and hid in Sagano. At that time, she was pregnant with a cup
On New Year's Day the following year, Hezi had a rest. He is a royal aristocrat, the son of sinners through the ages. In order to prevent the fracture from developing into an injury, the generals who were in power at that time sent him to ankokuji and let him escape into an empty net. He has never been paid by the duke and never boasted about him.
I seldom see my mother since I was a child, and I don't know my family background. He was brilliant since he was a child. At the age of six, he became an assistant to the elders in the temple. He studied and trained Zen around the elders, and he often knew it a little. At the age of twelve, he began to learn Vimalakīrti Jing and its poetic methods.
At the age of fifteen, Yixiu announced that he had become a Buddhist disciple. When he was a teenager, he was already interested in helping the poor and uneducated. That is, this year, he sang "When will the guest sleeves become love, and a hundred flowers will open a new world?" A charming poem, such as "Sleeping on a pillow, the dream of spring is not clear", became famous in one fell swoop, and everyone knows that Yi Xiuzong Chun is a rare talent.
When I was sixteen, I dropped out of school and went to Jianning Temple in Kyoto. This is also a temple with high prestige. Many people come here to pray, and the incense in the temple is strong. However, in the eyes of Yixiu, Buddhist disciples in the temple blindly pursue fame and fortune, flatter high-rise storefronts, and forget the real practice. That style makes Yixiu very tired. He only concentrates on studying Buddhism and learning and training Chinese poetry, and has no intention of climbing power.
He loves the indifferent and elegant feeling in Tao Yuanming's poems, and his own poems also show his pure faith everywhere. The scenery mentioned in the poem makes people feel calm. The close combination of poetry and Zen is also the best way to tell the truth in the world.
Two years later, after a rest from Kenya, I went to the deepest part of the forest to find the famous monk Hua Chui. After multiple tempering, he entered Huacuomen, honed his heart and felt Zen with his poor daily life.
During those days, he sat quietly in the lake by boat, studied Buddhism in the afterglow of the sunset, and gradually realized the ultimate goal of meditation-returning to the true self. After that, Hua Cuo died of illness, and Yixiu's senior brother gradually established a luxurious meditation hall, claiming to inherit the mantle of the master.
This made Yixiu very dissatisfied, and he felt that it also violated the true nature of Buddhist disciples. It was also at this time that Yixiu gradually left the crowd. At the age of thirty-four, the great talent of Buddhism gradually traveled around the world and began his rambling career.
