Idiom story

Li Bo, the governor of Jiangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, once asked Zen master Zhichang, "the Buddhist Scripture says that" Xumi hides mustard seeds and mustard seeds accept Xumi. "I think it's too mysterious. How can a small mustard seed accommodate such a big Xumi mountain? I really don't know common sense. Are you deceiving me? " After listening to Li Bo's words, Zen master Zhichang chuckled and asked, "people say that you are" reading too many books ". Is that really the case?" Of course! Yes, of course! Why don't I read more than ten thousand books? " Li Bo showed an air of elation. "Where are all the ten thousand volumes of books you have read now?" Zen master Zhichang asked Li Bo along with the topic. Li Bo pointed to his head and said, "of course, it's all here." Zen master Zhichang said, "it's strange that your head is only the size of a coconut. How can it hold ten thousand volumes of books? Are you cheating, too? " When Li Bo heard this, he suddenly realized it. all the principles of Zen are sometimes explained and sometimes explained by reason. Therefore, we should know that in the universe and the world, things are reasonable and things are reasonable; it is a fact that Xumi hides mustard seeds, and it is Zen that mustard seeds accept Xumi. If we can understand that there is no barrier, then we can easily understand Zen.
