An Chan doesn't need mountains and rivers. The fire in my heart has cooled me. What does this mean?

From an idealistic point of view, it is a truth to meditate with a peaceful mind, and there is no need for objective things (spring water in the mountains). As long as you can control bad thoughts (fire in your heart, Buddha's words are karma fire), your heart will become calm (fire will cool itself). Another explanation is that man can conquer nature, and his mind is calm and naturally cool.

Zen language refers to meditation. Commonly known as meditation.

Source: Southern Fuzheng by Zhang Liang in the Southern Dynasties: "Find the former residence of Taifu and build a room for this meditation."

Interpretation: while sitting still, looking for the hometown of Taifu.

Extending the message, it is not necessary to have mountains and rivers in meditation, but to put out the fire in your heart, which is not only a tribute to Master Wukong, but also an understanding of the Zen realm of "self-purity".

In the hot summer, the master dressed himself in Fukuda's clothes, closed the door, sat alone and practiced Zen. Although there is no pine and bamboo to stop the invasion of heat, he is not moved by the summer heat at all. He is carefree and immersed in the cool world of Zen.

"You don't have to have mountains and rivers to participate in meditation" and "You don't have to occupy all the clouds" (Guan Xiu) are the same meaning. Meditation focuses on purifying the mind, eliminating the delusions and desires in the heart, and entering the unintentional realm can enter the eternal coolness.

This poem is often quoted by people at home and abroad, especially the sentence "put out the fire in your heart and cool yourself down" is full of philosophy. Compared with Dongshan's machine front language "cold weather kills Li, hot weather kills Li", it is even whiter.

When it comes to cool, and the relationship between carelessness and cool, the world has its own wonderful views from the imperial clan style. Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the book "The Zen Room of the Teacher with Constant Bitterness and Heat": "Everyone is crazy in summer, and the Zen master can't leave the room alone.

However, there is no heating in the meditation room, but you can be calm and calm. In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu's "Enjoy the Cool" is also full of meditation: "Sitting without clothes is only ethereal.

On a hot day in the deep forest, the wind comes from the thousand valleys. Stop the white feather fan every once in a while and try to brush Zhu Sitong. I don't know when I am drunk, but the moon is born in the East. "
