Bodhi hooligan THO ...

 
     Following two verses above quoted in the Sixth Patriarch of Zen is very famous in school, be popular, countless sermon was ink everywhere for over a century. But because there are many scholars who mentioned suspected case of copying and content of the two verses that also suspicious:

     By Venerable Shen Tu:
        Bodhi Body urban life
        Radio mind as intelligent glass
        The time period needed waving formula
        Tran objects using one.
     身 是 菩 提 樹
     心 如 明 鏡 臺
     時 時 勤 拂 拭

     勿 使 惹 塵 埃

    (Body is the Bodhi tree - like a mirror bright mind - Always cleaned - Do not cling to dust).
     By Neng;
       Bodhi responsibility very life
       Non-intelligent radio glass heron
       Bon most numerous animal hybrids
       Tran Ha parish who?
    菩 提 本 無 樹
    明 鏡 亦 非 臺
   本 來 無 一 物
     何 處 惹 塵 埃
   (Bodhi tree such capital - Mirror light nor radio - Until now not a thing - where dust clinging to the ceiling?).

     Origination two verses is by Hoang Nhan Ngu told The map we each do a verse for his works, if all the best yet, demonstrating the emptiness is the medical team will pass bowl, recognized as second team six, next ngai.Trong Buddhist history, especially in the history of Zen, unmatched Patriarchs, any teacher told his disciples to emulate pans are making as Abbot or jasmine the latest successor ! The reason Venerable Shen Tu wrote his poem on the temple walls are also strange! Ven finished the verse, then hesitated to think, that the shelf that wish to do next is not a good team, but not the five organizations are not realizing their temperaments that teach more. Finished pans have four days, thirteen busy on the Organization of each busy afraid to dare sweat without the (scribe Dan of how do you know God's thoughts Venerable Tu and his fears status at that time, and even after writing the shelf to the wall?). Finally, the verse was written on the wall of the temple is also the Fifth Patriarch verse alone!

     Neng has no legitimate reason to ask for response writes his poem on the wall, next to the verse of Venerable Shen Tu. This poem, if the meaning is expressed nature also means criticizing authors first verse is Venerable Shen Tu and simultaneously meet the competition for pans, ie look forward to Successor Organization. This incident opened the Sixth Patriarch can assign it?

      Now let's try to consider the content of the second verse:

      Last Venerable Shen Tu: Once you decide to practice, made the choice, bring yourself, your identity, to embark on the path to ultimate liberation of the body, the body is also robust network, solidly as the Bodhi tree, the mind must keep clean, bright light like a mirror. Therefore must always keep this body, this mind not to be disturbing, desires, generally taints invaded, such as always clean mirror, keep shining, do not let dust clinging to . This is the mind, is a reminder to the convent, whereby diligent, enlightened wisdom, to see his new identity.

       By the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng: Bodhi Tree which are not included, nor a mirror bright, traditionally no coffee, the object does not stick to dust anywhere. Traditionally told nothing at all, then why mention the dust? Nothing but dust with it? "Most animals Forever" or "No" of verse nothing new! Buddha's teachings were not preached from 11 centuries ago and are Mahayana deployed more than 5 centuries before the Sixth Patriarch to the virtually unknown to Buddhism also knows through meaningful None. In particular, the Buddhist monk, meditation would anyone know of Diamonds taught that these are compounded as a dream, like dew, like lightning ... and that everyone what form they are falsehoods ... Four verses There was talk about being assigned to the Sixth Patriarch what really does not prove to the enlightened mind!

      From the reasoning above, we can believe speckled g verse of Venerable Shen Tu, now is the revered Catholic life, in order that counsel them or at least to persuade your self. No emulate the shelves and no verses are written on the walls of the temple. Since then, of course there is no verse repartee, the Sixth Patriarch is no such verse, just as clumsy as who want to flatter the Sixth Patriarch and the Venerable discredit Shen Tu alone!

      When recording the Platform Business, Master Fa Hai, a disciple of the Sixth Patriarch (or later someone add or remove some details), that such ideas will increase the noble qualities, great wisdom Sixth Patriarch, but in fact, the contents of the book may seem like a novel or a clumsy writing false reporting. Many details of the business makes it difficult to believe this is true: The organization of Luc illiterate but cited numerous Buddhist scripture ranks its right wall, explaining to those from Sanskrit; The daily events are selling firewood to feed her people suddenly had ten talents of silver, to give the mother (perhaps only be for one year) and go discernment, no matter how sick mother, how life and death; Five things to go three hours in underground appointment mortar to the Sixth Patriarch on the third watch (the brothel that walls have ears forest circuit to that? Why not ear that told?); Five groups of hiding the forensic medicine for the award of the Sixth Patriarch, told to leave the temple shortly secret, yet then again told them that he had dropped to the south, prompting hundreds (?) we chased the Sixth Patriarch map to Health and Ven won Hui Ming came up first; the Sixth Patriarch decry the practice of Venerable Shen Tu; the Sixth Patriarch copy the behavior and the legal protection of his language of business, named the Platform Sutra (In Buddhism, the Buddha preached only be recorded, the new business is called), is to save the life protection (Luc did not hold such arrogance?) ...; and many spend hours seems mystical, hard to believe is true.

       Francophone majority (except some are copying errors or embellished by later on) of the Sixth Patriarch is documented in the Platform Sutra is extremely valuable, worthy of the Patriarchs is Zen proverb opened a new horizon, a new atmosphere of Zen, popular throughout the country of China and spread around the world very much meditation countries. The realization and lofty position, bright world of the Sixth Patriarch of Zen, nobody dares to doubt. The development Sensei from his start with Zen Zen koan, the first voice ... and Zen literature is very rich, the last two of the disciples University Qingyuan Xingsi and Hoai Nam Music concession, from which the Zen line with Mr. Thach First, start out line Van Mon, Soto, and with his French label Matsu, Mr. Bach staff, prompts the threshold line, Rinzai. Specifically, the Rinzai and Soto lines thrive in our country to this day.
