A Zen poem.
The autumnal equinox, which is a special moment. Day and night are equinoxed, yin and yang are balanced, and nature seems to be still at this moment, and it seems to be surging at this moment. At this moment, Zen is born spontaneously, it is not in the external object, but in the heart, as calm and deep as usual.
The autumnal equinox day and night are yin and yang", and during the autumnal equinox, the day and night are of equal length, and the yin and yang are balanced. At this time, when everything is converging and the climate is pleasant, it is a good time to meditate. Zen is in the heart, as usual, not disturbed by the outside world, and the heart is as calm as water. The meditator clasps his palms together in front of his chest, his mind is free of distractions, he focuses on his breath and feels the driving force of life. They know that life originates from Tai Chi, and Tai Chi is the foundation of the universe, formless and formless, yet contains all things. In meditation, they seek to become one with Tai Chi and thus gain inner peace and wisdom.
Zen things are in the heart as usual", this poem tells us that Zen is not far away, it is in our daily life. Whether it is the change of spring, summer, autumn and winter, or the alternation of day and night, it can trigger our thinking and comprehension of Zen. From a Zen perspective, everything in life is a practice, whether it's eating, sleeping, or walking. Zen is a normal state of life, and it is also a kind of wisdom of life. It allows us to find inner peace in the midst of hustle and bustle, and the true meaning of life in the midst of change and uncertainty.
Gasshohara Chisheng Taiji", a pun intended, not only describes the tranquility of nature during the autumn equinox, but also reveals the philosophy of Zen Buddhism. Gassho is a common posture in Buddhism to worship the Buddha, representing piety and respect, while "sheng taiji" refers to the origin of all things in the universe. Gassho is a gesture of looking inward and accepting all things outward. In the autumn equinox, people can feel the harmony between nature and self.
neither tepid, nor hot, nor cold", this is an accurate description of the characteristics of the autumn equinox climate, and it is also a metaphor for the state of life. Tepid, lukewarm, but just the right golden mean. This is exactly the state that Zen Buddhism pursues, without attachment, without nothing but nothing. It is the realm of the "middle way" pursued by Zen Buddhism.
This little poem takes the autumn equinox as the theme, takes Zen as the soul, the language is concise and beautiful, and the artistic conception is far-reaching.
