One day, the disciples were all sitting around the Zen master and following the master's explanation of the philosophy of life.

But the Zen master was speechless. After a while, he asked the disciples how to get rid of the weeds in the wilderness. After hearing this, the disciples looked at each other and couldn't believe that the Zen master's problem would be so simple.

After a while, the disciples started talking, and they said everything, it was so lively.

A said, "I can use a shovel to shovel all the weeds."B said that he could burn the weeds with one fire. But C said that lime could be scattered on the grass to remove weeds.

After listening to the speeches of the first three, Ding spoke: "Your methods cannot be eradicated. If you cut the grass, you must eradicate the roots, so you must dig out the grass roots." He spoke with confidence.

After listening to the opinions of the disciples, Zen master nodded with a smile, and then told them to divide the grass into several pieces and remove weeds according to their own methods. And agreed to meet here again next year.

At this time of the second year, the disciples came here early and saw golden crops. This was the method they used after many experiments and successfully removed weeds. But they knew that the master would not come, he had already gone to Xianyou. That was also the last lesson the Zen master taught for them, and the disciples were filled with gratitude and nostalgia.

To remove weeds from the wilderness, you can only plant crops on it. Returning to the human heart, we must always pay attention to removing weeds in the wilderness and plant crops on it. When returning to the human heart, you must always pay attention to cultivating your own virtues in order to make your heart "green".
