Book Introduction

Master Xingyun's new book "I have something to say"

Although I spent so much money and accomplished so many things, I feel that I am indeed a "poor monk" until I am nearly 90 years old. Why? Because all these things are not mine, but common to the public and society. The so-called "Ten directions come, ten directions go, and ten things come together; ten thousand people give, ten thousand people give, and ten thousand people get together" has nothing to do with me. I am just one of them. I am also a believer, so I can say that I am also good at giving. In Buddhism, the Vajra Sutra says that "giving without appearance and living without self", so it is not worth mentioning here about giving people some small favors. As for the schools and monasteries that I run, they are originally property from ten directions. I am alone. Who am I not a "poor monk"? Poverty will extend evil. Taiwan is a rich and courteous place. I hope we love people in Taiwan, do not envy others, do not hate the rich, do not reject religion, do not slander beliefs. Our culture is tolerant and kind. For the sake of many "poor monks" in Buddhism and their future survival image, I have to say a few words of justice on behalf of them at this time, taking me as an example.

Highlights

Master Xingyun: My life, food, clothing, housing and transportation

As for food, clothing, housing and transportation, when the poor monk was young, he also thought about what clothes and food he would buy when he became rich; Now, we have the power to buy, but we don't want to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. It's a good life to follow the circumstances and be simple.

Master Xingyun: Right and wrong in the Buddha Hall

Today, monkeys play in groups in the Buddha Memorial Hall, and Siberian migratory birds and mallards fly to the double attic for winter; It is said that there are hundreds of birds on the mountain; Butterflies dance, bees and flowers fly; Every year, hundreds of thousands of people are moved to appreciate the fireworks. Every year, the Lantern Festival brings many families warmth and joy!

Master Xingyun: My Preliminary Reform of New Buddhism

It is my lifelong ambition to reform the Buddhist movement. As a monk, everything is "for Buddhism". Taiwan's Buddhist activities have flourished for a while. How prosperous! It seems that the new Buddhist movement began in Taiwan.

Master Xingyun: I have been living in the public

The poor monk has a personality since he was young. He doesn't like one-on-one exchanges, doesn't like living alone, and likes living in groups. At the age of 40, when I opened the mountain in Foguang Mountain, the masses gathered, so I couldn't leave the masses.

Master Xingyun: My Simple Management

It turns out that in the world, it is not wealth or lack of money to talk about poverty and wealth, poverty and wealth, or feelings in the heart. So far in writing, the word "poor monk", which has been popular in the jungle of the mainland since ancient times, is naturally taken for granted because it is poor but not poor.

Master Xingyun: How much did I spend

In this life, I really investigated that even though the god of wealth passed by, some money passed my name. Unfortunately, the poor monk is not good at wealth, but he has many wealth relationships in name. After careful calculation, it should be more than 10 trillion yuan.

Master Xingyun: My Self study Process

When I was young, the poor monk had no school education or complete family education, but he had a "self-education" personality. The so-called "self-education" is "self-consciousness", realizing that you need to learn to be a man, need to learn to do things, and can become a useful talent.

Master Xingyun: My Monk's Cross Strait Journey

At present, there are different opinions on cross-strait relations, and they are locked in a stalemate. In my opinion, as long as the law enforcement and self enforcement are removed, there is no problem that cannot be solved. I agree with the "1992 Consensus, the First Central Committee and the Second Central Committee", because it is such a beautiful cross-strait policy and a basis for fairness and equality.

Master Xingyun: the strange fate of Foguang Mountain Hall

Looking back on the way, I have carried many past, present and even future with the word "museum". In the future, the whole Foguang Mountain will have all the three treasures of "Buddha, Dharma and Monk". Then, all the hard work in the past will not be worth mentioning.

Master Xingyun: My Monk's Passion

In general, the sufferings, humiliations, injuries and discrimination suffered by the poor monk in his life are also inexplicable. Fortunately, there is tolerance in Buddhism. Tolerance is not only strength, but also wisdom. Six degrees of happiness, sacrifice, asceticism, and especially humiliation, although not perfect, I should also be qualified to become a monk in the abuse of toilet monks!

Master Xingyun: I am a trash can

The so-called trash can means that in my life, thousands of people, especially believers and monastic disciples, seldom report good things to me. They come to me to tell about their suffering, troubles, delusions, grievances, grievances, greed, anger, ignorance and ignorance.

Master Xingyun: My Gratitude and Resentment

Many of the past of life can not be separated from the past, but I have no enemies, so I dare not say "gratitude, resentment, love and hatred", so I changed it to "gratitude, resentment, love and hatred". All these things, as the Buddha said, are regarded as the inverse increase of our cultivation!

Master Xingyun: Memories of monks' practice

Most people think that I can only write articles, only organize activities, only build temples, only preach scriptures, and only travel abroad; But these activities, temples, and scriptures are not spiritual practices? Even if there is no cultivation, I don't know that I also have the process of cultivation in my door.

Master Xingyun: Why do people call me Master Xingyun

My rank is called "Master", so the disciples of Foguang Mountain later called me "Xingyun Master Buddhist Lecture" or "Xingyun Master Buddhist Sutra Lecture" or "Xingyun Master Heart to Heart Enlightenment", and so on. In this way, "Master" became my name.

Master Xingyun: Cultivating Buddhism depends on my character

For the sake of Buddhism, we should not concede; Sacrifice your life for Buddhism. I have a wish: "For Buddhism, I will go to hell willingly." Otherwise, why should we believe in Buddhism?

Master Xingyun: Yunshui Monk and Yunshui Calligraphy Cart

My name is "Xingyun". The stars are high in the sky, and the white clouds are floating in the sky. I don't want to climb in the sky, nor do I want to hang in the air. Fortunately, monks are generally called "Yunshui Monk". "Yunshui Monk" is also very suitable for me to use another name.
