Before the clouds passed away, he left the last ** wearing a hundred clothes and his eyes slightly closed, which was taken in 1959.
In 1959, in Yunju Mountain, Jiangxi, Master Xuyun left an unforgettable ** before his death. Dressed in a shabby robe, holding Buddhist beads, he sat on a simple chair with his eyes slightly closed, looking calm.
From the **, we can see that the living environment of Master Xuyun is very difficult, and behind him is a vegetable garden, and there is a pile of wood next to it. Although we always think of him as heavenly today, in fact he spent the last years of his life in such a difficult environment.
Master Xuyun was born in the Daoguang period, he had a quiet temperament since he was a child, and he loved to read. At the age of nineteen, he escaped into the void, and in the history of modern Buddhism, Master Xuyun has made great contributions.
He insisted on asceticism for more than 100 years, sat in 15 dojos, and inherited 5 sects of Zen Buddhism, with millions of followers. Master Xuyun's life has experienced unbelievable tribulations for ordinary people, including ten times, and even hovering on the edge of life and death.
Especially when he was one hundred and ten years old, he was beaten and tortured with a stick until his head was broken and his ribs were broken, but he still sat down and was not disturbed by the beating.
As a generation of masters, Master Xuyun's life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, are very plain, simple and simple. He believes that ordinary people come to the world and eat and wear as much food as they want in their lives, all of which are predestined, and they should not be unrestrained, but should be cherished, so that their good fortune will increase.
Master Xuyun has no more than five pieces of clothes, and the one that is put on the outside all the year round is a hundred clothes, and when the weather is hot, he takes off the coat, and puts it on again when the weather is cold, and he sews and mends it for a lifetime.
In October 1959, Master Xuyun felt that he was about to pass away, and instructed ** to put his ashes into the water, and left a "ring" word for **, although there is only a simple word, which contains rich meaning, which is worthy of our future generations.
