In the ancient Daxiu Hall of the Sandalwood Forest in Jiuhua Mountain, there is a body Bodhisattva , and he is Zen Master Mingjing.
Zen Master Mingjing stood and slept regardless of cold, heat, winter and summer, no matter whether it was windy or rainy.
Sit and do not lie down. Buddhism calls it "not falling alone at night", which is rare.
Sleeping standing and is amazing among the great monks and masters of ancient and modern times.
Zen Master Mingjing has been standing barefoot for three years.
He usually rarely speaks. When the pilgrim worships the Buddha, he stands beside the Weituo Bodhisattva and is worshipped by others, and says:
"Good me, I am the true Buddha ."
When people hear it, they all think he is talking crazy. He cultivates wisdom and acts like foolishness. He occasionally makes witty words, and is called "crazy monk ".
Young man is lonely and has deep wisdom
Mage Mingjing, commonly known as Xu Fangzhu , was born on August 3, 1928 in Shuangqiao Village, Dongxiaxiang, Langxi County, Anhui Province.
Mage Mingjing's mother passed away when she was three years old. For the sake of her family, her father left home and worked far away to make a living.
The old saying goes: "I would rather die as an official than to seek the mother of rice."
A three-year-old child has no longer the nourishment of maternal love and the care and care of his mother since childhood.
The child without a mother is like a grass, and he feels very helpless.
He has helped people herd cattle and worked for a short-term job since he was a child. He looked at people's faces and was discredited by people. The older children often bullied him and called him a "wild child" in .
Strangely, he faced so many injustice and suffering, but he didn't have the slightest resentment. He couldn't fight back or scold him.
Moreover, he has never eaten meat since he was a child. He often uses vegetables and fruits to satisfy his hunger. When he sees others killing chickens and sheep, he always hides aside and quietly wipes his tears. For this reason, he is often ridiculed by other children.
Once one year, there was no rain in my hometown, and many crops in the fields withered due to lack of water. He even quietly put the water from his own fields into other people's fields.
Since childhood, he has a Bodhisattva heart, revealing many differences from other children.
He liked to meditate before he became a monk.
When he has completed his hard work and tiring work for a day, he often stays alone at home and meditates and enters quietness.
When meditating, the distracting thoughts in my mind gradually settle down, and people enter a very relaxed and very peaceful state.
He unknowingly advances his merits day by day, and often enters meditation and does not wake up.
He didn't look for a wife alone, and the neighbors cared about him very much. He felt strange when he saw that there was no smoke from cooking for several days.
After entering his house, he found that he was still moving. He thought he was dead, touched his nose and there was still hot . He woke up after taking a stone and knocking it hard in his ear.
The villagers thought he was possessed, so they tied him up and prevented him from entering into meditation.
So, Zen Master Mingjing came to the temple forest temple in Jiuhua Mountain. He pointed to temple forest and said:
"This is my home."
In the same year, he sold his family for 1,000 yuan and offered 1,000 yuan to the temple. Later, he lived in Jiuhua Mountain Sandalwood 4 and became an incense lantern master.
"Standing Zen" is a profound skill. Toutuo ascetic
After becoming a monk, Zen Master Mingjing wore patchwork garments . His clothes were sewn and sewn, patched and repaired. He was dressed in a torn manner and strange manner. Therefore, he was despised everywhere and no one took him seriously.
became a monk. It turned out that people who were familiar with him did not call him "Master", but they still called him "Lao Xu" . He was not angry when he heard this, but just smiled.
When he first became a monk, he lived in the monk's dormitory like other monks and lie down and sleeped.
Later, he sat and slept, wrapped his legs with a quilt, sat on a Zen bench, sitting for one night. This kind of sitting but not lying down is called "not falling alone at night."
Later, I stopped going into the house and simply stood in the yard to spend the night.
Sometimes he stands in the yard, sometimes under the eaves, and sometimes in front of the Main Hall.
When he was standing in meditation, he showed the seal of Amitabha, and he remained motionless, just like a stone carving and wood carving.
The cold winter with ice and snow, the summer night with mosquito bites, Zen Master Mingjing stood barefoot for three years.
Many people heard that Zen Master Jing felt strange when he was sleeping while standing:
How is that possible? When a person is lying on the bed, he rolls to the ground when he is not careful, and when he is sleeping, will he fall down after being confused? Don't pretend!
Several tourists from Singapore were really curious and insisted on going to see if it is true or not.
The weather was already very cold at that time and frost began to take place. When I went there, it was almost 10 o'clock at night.
At that time, Zen Master Mingjing was standing under a big tree, frost had formed on his beard, and the air he breathed had turned into white mist.
Everyone shone his eyes with a flashlight.
Generally speaking, if a person is awake and closes his eyes, and uses a flashlight to shine, no matter how he installs, his eyeballs will definitely move under his nose.
Strangely, his eyes didn't move at all.
This is really a strange phenomenon. Moreover, as he inhaled and inhaled, his body naturally leaned forward and backward to maintain balance!
Physical achievements The world respects
On September 6, 1992, Zen Master Mingjing fell to his position and said to his disciple
, "I will not be cremated after sitting in the jar, and I will not destroy my true body in the future."
On December 1, 1998, I opened the jar and looked as if my face was alive, my body was intact, my hair and nails grew a little, and my skin was elastic all over my body, just like before my lifetime.
Zen Master Mingjing has been practicing meditation for a long time and has achieved great merits. He has become a Vajra Indestructible Bodhisattva.
Mage Mingjing has a profound source of Buddha, is very wise and foolish, endure what others cannot tolerate, practice what others cannot do, practice diligently, and never slacken.
The first generation "Standing Zen" is rare in the world, and finally achieved the indestructible body of Vajra, which is admired by future generations!
