The murmuring water drifts into the bamboo window, and the bright moon seems to be washed in the stream.

The new incense burns on the ashes of last year, and the night wind blows the wind flags in front of the temple.

It's too late to know by nature, but it's shallow but likes to have the same opinions.

Once you realize the place of return, thousands of rivers and mountains will open by yourself.

Anecdote. Lu Lun, who stayed with the monk Cheng Shangren, probably never imagined that he would never win a real place in his life. When he was a teenager, Lu Lun's family was not well-off, his father died early, and he often felt lonely when he lived in his uncle's house. A few years older, he wanted to take the imperial examination, but it was still not smooth, and he failed to pass the examination repeatedly. Even the life at the beginning of hell made Lu Lun live a good life. Although his career was not smooth, his poetry was famous. In Chang'an, in Poyang, Lu Lun, who traveled and sang with Ji Zhongfu, Sikong Shu, Miao Fa, Cui Tong, Geng Xiang, Li Duan, etc., became a famous socializer during the Great Calendar and was named the "Ten Talents of the Great Calendar". It was precisely because of such praise that his talent, or the name of his poetry, finally attracted the attention of the prime minister and started his short career. No one knows if Lu Lun enjoys such praise, but as he said, Zen is naturally not in words, and if you accept everything calmly, you can find a place of refuge for your soul.
