"Best Fate": The tradition of Buddhism, savage frugality and abstinence

□ Zhang Yunjiang Wang Yanhui

In the "Dharma Pearl Forest" edited by Master Dao Shi, there is a paragraph named "Farfront", which is a model of the Buddha's frugality with the Buddhist Gate. For example, with the same bowl of begging, the famous Da Jiaye is not sophisticated, and he eats what he eats; Lord Bo Luo Luo picks up a beautiful diet and only eats rough. The "Fun" also quotes some of the "Boju Luo Jing" in the "Chinese Afghan Sutra". Taking clothes as an example, Lord Boju Luo said: "I have been sweeping with dung and sweeping for eighty years. I have never remembered to receive a jacket. Holding a needle sac or even a ray of strands. "Tao Shi takes the thrift of Lord Luo Luo as an example. In terms of" interest "is important to practice-" Extraction and frugality is a large number of people ". Since Buddhist disciples If you are relieved, you should respond to the interest from the precepts.

Buddhism was introduced into China, and many monks had the practice of imitating Lord of Luo Luo, especially the Zen gate that attached great importance to the performance. For example, the second ancestor Huke's disciple monk's Zen master, "one clothes and a bowl, sitting one by one, Fengtou Tuo Xing"; … I will be begging for food, and I will not stay. "Another like Master Yushan in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, I only eat two bowls of porridge alone every day. The first time I suspect that he opens a small stove. Seeing that there was hot air in the sister -in -law, it was opened, and the yellow vegetable leaves and some wheat bran were cooked inside. There is also Master Shen Ding Hong Yan, "Ordinary in the cold and heat, and then hidden Hengyue ... Ten years of dry, the room has no liter, and the daily rice bed is the method." In modern times Hongyi, Yuanying, and Yin Guang's elders are familiar with the frugality of the elders.

The above are all examples of "thrift". Those who "quit luxury", such as the five ancestors of the Song Dynasty, played Zen Master, and a disciple gave him a brown cloth monk robe from overseas. The weaving cloth is made. The fire rats are not increasing, and the hair is long. The ice rat lives under the ice and eats only ice, and the hair is several inches. The brown cloth monk robe co -produced by the two rats is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is definitely a treasure. The Fa actor Zen said: "The old monk has cold chant paper, and the hot water is hot. What do you want to do?" On behalf of the "Buddha's Calendar", Yao Shanyun once commented: "The non -husband is out of all, the deed is vacuum, the disease of the climbing, the nature of the nature of the nature is to be able to remain the skeleton and forget the desire. "Nian often said here, and the principle of" thrifty "emphasized by Master Dao Shi.

On September 29, 2021, the Shanxi Buddhist color plastic photography retrospective exhibition jointly organized by Zhilian Jingyuan and Nanlian Park Chi was held pre -exhibition. The exhibition will be officially unveiled on October 1 to show the art and culture of Buddhist sculpture in the 15 Gujian Temple in Shanxi. heritage. The picture shows the entry to visit the work.

In the four years of the Northern Song Dynasty (1052), Sima Guangying at the invitation of Xiuzhou Seng Qing ductive wrote a "Show Shui Zhenhuang Langlutang". In the eyes of this Confucian scholar and history who do not believe in Buddhism, there are two most respectable Buddhists, one is frugal, and the other is love, that is, "frugal and desire, loving and loving things." Taking clear frugality as an example, "Buddhist clothes make up for the clothing, eat vegetables and eat vegetables, and the rock lives in the wild, and the wife is scolding his wife. Juan is clean, not to be tired. " He then pointed out that at the end of the future, he "abandoned the original and the back of the original", "with the obscenity of the obscenity, and the solemnity of the world. Sima Guang's view has also been recognized by the people of the Buddhist gate. For example, Master Lu Zongzong, Yunmen Zongzong, has poems: "Born to be born with three martial arts, and Shizi returned to the temple of the tower. It should be the day to worship the day, and you cannot be frugal." Three years (1100), one of the forty poems in "Washing Poems". The so -called "facial washing" is to first put the flour and group, knead the water, wash off the starch, and only the gluten is left, which can be used as the raw material for the vegetarian chicken fish. Zong Yan believes that this violates the purpose of the Buddhist gate: "Dajue Shizun, one hemp and one wheat; Gu La Gao Shi, fruit and vegetables are hungry. The extravagance of diet is not removed. To eliminate 10,000 gold, it happens to be rough. "Moreover, the face washing is too luxurious and wasteful. long".

In addition, the famous layman Huang Tingjian's "Opening the Pioneer Cultivation" also said: "Husbands do not farm, Yanju and jade eat, there are many hundreds of people, there are nobles in the same way." Huang Tingjian believes that Buddhism can only be developed for a long time and healthy inheritance.

Chongjian and luxury have always been a tradition of Buddhist circles and an excellent ethical concept that is beneficial to social development. It should pay special attention and active inheritance in contemporary society.
