BEAUTIFUL HERITAGE  (1685 - 1768)

The child, later  Hakuin Ekaku  (Hakuin Ekaku), born in Hara, Suruga Province, the town of Numazu, Shizuoka particles,  Japan , on 25 December 1685. The youngest in a  family  of three Boys, two girls. Hara is on the edge of the bay overlooking the  Pacific  Ocean, near Mount Fuji. His usual name is Iwajiro, born in the Ox, Ox, Ox and Ox years.

At the age of 5, they were taken to the beach near the house, while they joked with the sand, Iwajiro looked at the sea, then looked up at the sky. Seeing the clouds drift non-stop, the boy muttered: "Oh, so strange!" And burst into tears.

There is a monk named Kyushin very strange,  often recite Buddha  and bamboo flute. Iwajiro's father or a teacher of offerings  to the  boys. Once Kyushin rubbed the boy was seven said: "This baby face recruiting is realized, the latter will be the source  of peacefulness  of many people".

Since childhood Iwajiro was afraid of  hell . At the age of 11  went to the pagoda , when listening to a sectarian  Nhat Lien  told the penalty in the eight gates  of hell, he  was afraid to shudder  shot. At the temple, he went to bed but could not sleep, tears  streaming .

One day to take a bath with his mother, suddenly he yelled, jumped out of the tub, was about to run away. Known  image  of hell are  threatened  him, she immediately  explained  and promised to lead to a place of  pure  happiness , his peace of mind back into a sink.

Early the next morning, she told him to  prostrate  Tenjin, god  of protection  Ox. Iwajiro hung Tenjin up,  offered flowers  and  burned incense . He studied  chanting  and  prostrations  every evening  until the  Ox, which was nearly two in the morning. During the ceremony course of  childhood  , he recite a passage in  the Lotus Sutra  is  the Pho Mon , place  Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara  salvation beings .

When he was 12 years old, watching Nisshin puppetry Team Team - Officer asked Nisshin dispatched to  Japan :

- Who  chanting the  Lotus Sutra , the fire does not burn right?

Bicycling:

- Who  sincerely  reciting  the Lotus , the fire does not burn, the water does not sink.

The mandarin ordered the burning scythe to burn and the burning pot burned to red fire on his head. Master still  calmly  chanting  - people who also  extremely touched  and  unison  recite  Namo Saddharmapundarika  Beijing. At the same time, he  volunteered  to become a monk because he believed that cultivators would not fall into  hell . Mother also  happy  and found that he had a long way to go.

At the age of 14, Iwajiro began to study  the sutras  with the old monk named Sokino near Shōin-ji Temple. Master brought him books  Thien Lam  Cu Episode of Indo British North (Toyo Eicho) - The 9th from the  National Bar  Foundation Application - after transmission to Hakuin was held 19th - recorded poetry shelves of poet and  Zen  Central Flower. Through his years in Tung Yin temple bowing Consulate Application Stories Public (Tanrei Soden) please  shaved  ordained . When the  hair  is shaved , the Disciple flaps his  disciple  said: "Prime Minister," then handed the  French name of  Hue. He swore: "If this body is not burned fire, not swept water, will  study  even if death does not stop." 

Hui Hac left the pagoda  at the  age of 19 years old to  study religion . He  followed  his first teacher, Sokin, to Zen Temple (Zenso-ji). This is the place to teach business rather than meditation, but Huo Hac to stay a few months because unknown where else  better . One day  is all  Sen'ei lectured on  Cliff Head  Full Khoát, a  Zen monk  of the ninth century in China. Then Hue Hac to read  biography  is known he was beaten to death. Hu Hac is  very anxious. If a monk can  not  escape from  the yoke while alive, how can he  escape from  hell? Fears of  childhood  shooting down Hue Hac, but  ultimately  Master think though not  inevitable  hell  away where not a bit  worried , as detailed thoughts.

The early years in the temple as  students , are studying  literary  arts and visits to  pilgrimage  later that Hue Hac have  sense  of  poetry  China, especially with Li Bai, Du Fu and later Master has  become  Master of Cursors in Cursive Writing - a synthesis of Japanese and Japanese characters.

In the village of Himoki in Mino prefecture, there is an old  Zen master  named Ma Ong. Hue Crane is one of 12  school rise  to it in  the spring of  1704. Mr. Ma Temple Thuy Van's too poor to  learn increases must  fend  rice for food and firewood. Like a  name, meaning wild horse. Ma  yells at  his students  not to say bad words. Soon 11 people left. Hui Hac alone left.

His code usually goes to the nearby ggaki town. Leaving the  opportunity Hue teacher Hac read and make Han poetry in his spare time, but he still wondering. Regardless of  becoming a  venerable or saintly person like Li Bai, the Enlightenment can be  avoided by hell?

One day at home on the see books loaded on the rack, I  prayed to  the Buddhas of ten directions  with the  God of the Guardians  were  pointed to  the road should follow to the end of life. Then closed his eyes to a great book. That is the book of  Zen Monk  Book of the seventeenth century by  Van The Chau Hoang notes  language , an  anecdote  on  the  practice  of chastity meditation practice. Strong faith  , the lifting of the prayer book across the forehead, no need to look, flip book chapters on the right hit a Zen  life Tong  Tu Minh  Department of Vienna  in  Thach Suong  meditating  all night  outdoor  cold. Because of want to  fight the sleeping ghost,  Tu Minh  took a stab into the thigh (lead pricks like it). Teacher appreciation mirror earnestly seek the Way  of the money workers should thus determined  relentless effort  to practice . A few months later, the news of  his mother's passing shelved his mother, but still did not leave Hinoki. Xu Ming took a stab in the thigh (led pricks like it). Teacher appreciation mirror earnestly seek the Way of the money workers should thus determined relentless effort to practice . A few months later, the news of his mother's passing shelved his mother, but still did not leave Hinoki. Xu Ming took a stab in the thigh (led pricks like it). Teacher appreciation mirror earnestly  seek the Way of the  money workers should thus  determined relentless  effort to practice . A few months later, the  news of his mother's passing shelved his mother, but still did not leave Hinoki.

Spring  next year, messengers from the temple Thuy Van going  consultation around: Chua  Bao Phuoc  in clocks  audience  Nam Meditation, hospital Linh Tung take up Van Huu, Pagoda Dong Quang in America Nung (Mino) Hilly  University cunning  (who The policy of lightening the essence of meditation can  be  popularized, named meditation is  normal ). At 22 years old to Cao Cao Pagoda in Nha  Van visit  Van Ly . 

Around  this time  (1706), Hui Hac obtained the book  Roadblocks . Continental languages  were  influenced  deeply to  life  Master later. Joko Wakasa Province to the temple monks to hear French  professor lectured on contemporary Banrei  Zen in Chinese in the thirteenth century. In  terms of contents  has recorded a poem by a monk was  defrocked  and then a monk again: 

I was corrupt  because crazy defrocked  six months now return monastery Oh joy! Oh happy! After how much suffering I was corrupt because crazy defrocked six months now return monastery Oh joy! Oh happy! After how much suffering I was  corrupt because crazy  defrocked six months 
now  return  monastery
Oh joy! Oh happy! After how  much suffering

Hui Hep cried, as if writing a letter for himself, because he was born  again to  the world .

That summer  , he went to Shōshū-ji Temple in Iyo to meet the  Dharma Assembly of the Zen Master who was teaching  the Tam Kinh Buddha . He was one of the five invited guests to  the guest house  of Matsuhodai at Matsuyama Castle. People give rise to the view dozens  of paintings . There is a cover in a pocket of brocade, outside cover two more boxes. It is the epitome of Daigu Sōchiky, a Zen master  of the seventeenth  century. Glimpse the road does not seem to have much and a little clumsy, Hue Hac understand that in calligraphy people still  enjoy the  core way  of the artist was a  monk , so this painting is to be treasured than the picture other. Back to  Chanh Tong Pagoda,

"15 years I go  wandering , 22 and 23 years old I  pain  day and night in order to  penetrate the  word WON" Hue Crane wrote in a letter to the grocery  slender . Thus, maybe he began to enter  the  Congregation in 1706.  The koan  was always given to him, but he did not give any prizes to  the koan .

In 1707, Hui Hac, 23,  pilgrim  with his friend on Japan's largest island, east of Fukuyama, and visited the famous  Okayama castle  . Professor constantly  wrestle  with myriad throughout the  journey , while friends forever  discussion scenery and architecture around the castle. He closed his eyes silently, big unfinished,  now  where to watch? They stayed at a temple in the mountains and he did the poem: 

Under the mountains the waterfall flows 
scrolls  away forever meditation
center if so 
See the nature of the obstacle

Then they  went  on . A friend  companion  was ill, Master Slovak fears  of luggage , the other  jealousy  should make tired take unpopular, leadership Slovak always, think of  the good  little by little accumulate, will help Master  completed the wish  Long cherished: enlightenment.

To Highway Qiu Xa, boat caught in a storm,  waves  rippling , guests in the boat were lost identity. The boatman cut the sea knuckles. Particularly  sitting quietly closed eyes, nose breathing even. The boatman yelled, "Chao, heartless! Last night the boat was about to overturn. Only you  sit still  as you do not know. I go to sea for many years, never seen anyone like you. Master knew then  disaster last, he  folded hands  said, "Due to the blessings holy  favor , separate  exit  this crisis." At that time, he was seriously sick and he came to visit Thuy Van pagoda.

According Tokaido road,  boulevard  between Kyoto and Edo (present-day Tokyo) Soon Hui Crane to foot of Mount Fuji, and then come  home to  Hara. Nearing five and a half years away from home,  family  and friends  gathered to  inquire , I just  answered a  grunt. Everybody's a weird teacher.

In November of that year, Mount Fuji  erupted  in a massive  earthquake  that shook Tung Yin Pagoda, where Hue had previously  been ordained  and now resides. The monks  ran all out, individual monks still  equanimity  meditation . "We have  decided to  open the eyes, there are  gods  bless." At that moment a giant spark on the side of the mountain burst into a mountain of lava. Snow-white snow-white ashes cover the eastern part of the island, and in the Edo City, the snow falls at noon.

About a year after Hui Crane said there is a  meditation  prominent  in Takada in Echigo province, which is the  abbot of  the temple English Test (Eigan-ji) name Radical Nature (Eitetsu) is teaching  Human Eye Section . Hui Hac and three monks came to visit Tranh Trong in the summer of 1708. Through the  meeting, he knew that the obstacle was not over  . Frustrated , detained in the shrine,  meditated  day and night do not eat sleep. Saturday, while your  companions  are preparing to  return , Hui Crane is  meditation  suddenly heard  the bell  temple from a distance. Suddenly , Body and mind  disappear. This is the first enlightenment, was recorded as follows: " I refer to the word day and night, do not stop even for a moment. I just  worry  a thing is  pure , no infection and the  doubt of a block. I worry most can not be a regular mass  , awake as well as sleep. Twenty-four, in  the spring , I  struggled alone   in  pain  at  the Anglican monastery in Echigo. I did not sleep even though day and night, forgetting to even eat sleep, when, suddenly, in my body suspected. I felt  a  sense of extreme transparency , as if I had frozen in a cold field spreading thousands of miles. I can not go forward nor backward. I am like a person who has lost my  mind , and nothing  exists  to me beyond  the subject of  NO! Although I  attended  the teacher's lectures, I heard voices from the room  where I was , far and further I  felt  like flying in the wind. Many days  passed , I was always in  that state  . Until one afternoon, The  temple  bell overturned  all my mood. Like the sound of a glacier or a jade tower. Wake up , I feel is the  predecessor Nham First , though distant, predecessors remains unchanged. The former   suspicion crumbled . I cried out loudly: "What a miracle! What a miracle! No more  birth and death  to escape. No  enlightenment  to look for. All 1700  koans  trouble from the past no longer have to take any more!     "You  companions jumped in Teacher, clutching  praise . Suddenly  overcome the  dual  treatment  between us and people, 

Before that, Hac was shocked when he heard about the death of  Nham Dau . A gang of thugs to the temple. The monks  run out,  Spam head  still  meditated and  killed . At that moment, in the lotus position,  Nham Dau  shouted, resounding a few kilometers around. Now Hac Hien has overcome the  fear of death  pursued from childhood. It was February 17, the 24-year-old pupil. From here,  his views  swallowed all the way.

France Assembly  of Radical Nature is very  popular , there are more than five hundred Ttang to attend at the temple  He strictly , including the position  of high rise  is Apostolic Way (Sokakhu). Hue Hac self-thought 300 years later not sure to have as thorough will. Then Tong said to him:

- He is so  transcendental . Only regret to come but not yet come. If I meet my old man can understand.

He asked why. How to say:

- I capital of Xinyang. In Phan Son (Iiyama) have  am all  named Hue Doan (ETAN) in am  Chief Tho  (Shoju), nephew of  Nowhere Road . To  bridge religionam all  wrote the book thematic Wu Tong a  User Master . Meet the  owner  I know he is a handyman for many years.

I heard so want to come  to consult . Parlance:

-  Understanding  of the life he afford to be  alkaline mace . But  master classes only need straight grass  . The more the bad things get louder. He must  be careful  with friends.

Solidarity dissolve  the conference ,  along  with Tong  Getting  Phan Son. Before viewed  Communications Sign Luc , see  Admin groups  ( Bodhi Dat-ma ) 7 years old  ordained  achieving relief, while almost Bat-elegant Multi-la  practice  twenty years to clean out aggregates shirt. Sudden suddenly the province, the arrogantmind  gradually  less, develop  the effort .

When they reached the pagoda, Hueyan, 67, was gathering firewood nearby. Hue Crane was  officially  enter them  immediately, crystal temple visitors rose to learn meditation is to own at a  time . Huệ Đoan was the bastard of the lord Matsudaira in Phan Sơn Castle. Edo years to 19 years, Doan learn  meditation Lam  Te more than 10 years in the temple Tōhoku with  Zen  martial Nan  (Shido BUNAN),  life frugally  and  famous  strictness . After years of  consulting with  other  Zen masters  , Doan  returned  to  Voan . 

Meeting  master , Hue Hac presents a heaven. Finished with the right hand wrote: "This you see is reasonable?" Master said:

- If you see the show, you  need to  vomit.

Then do the vomit.

Try to ask:

-  Zhao Zhou  a word "NO" how to Assembly?

Plaint:

-  Zhao Zhou  "NO" where to place limbs?

Suffering his fingertips, he said:

- Hey! To many limbs?

At that time, my  whole body  was sweating , my tears  were so dry  . Earlier once Doan gave words devoted to the  disciples : "Scarcely how the teachings  wipe decadent  indoor meditation and  creativity  of the project , such as how the night grows day"  However , Hui Crane has not yet  realized  the dignity of his teacher as seen in the land know how  monastery  and  meditation  prominent , while Doan pulled pork on where smoking is impoverished in Phan Son. And now Hui Hac  sat quietly in  front of the retired teacher  , 

Doan  satisfied  sure Hui Crane:

- Has  participated at  finishing a  work project  will be the  descendant  ancient Buddha . Stand up! Be crushed in all directions until you break the  halfway line  .

Doan suggested that if too stuck with  koan  koi can change to  other koans  . Hui Hac immediately  vowed  to Doan:

- If  not  open  the project  in the coming weeks, please  guardian angels of Justice ten  not to subnet!

Hue can not  sleep  because  of  too much effort to jump through the  door thinking  often. One afternoon, he came to see his place for Doan,  who was bending over the porch. Doan said: "Chatter!" Master  repeatedly smiled repeatedly  : "Chatter!" Try to grab the student, kick the rock  around , then push over the porch. I fall down. After a  while , wake up to the teacher, being scolded, "  Cattle  in the cave!" The aftermath in  the staff decided to  bring all the  arguments  to  argue  with Doan. Enraged by the  rage grabbing the Master out of the door, from high guard fell to the stone wall, Master unconscious coma . Try looking down laughing. Laughter  to wake up  , sweat profusely. I tried to climb, but Doan still not let go, yelled, "  Animals  in the cave!"

Too  desperate , Hui Crane to give me leave. One morning, I went to Phan Son  alms round , go home, hugging bowls and stick with many rings tinkling. But standing in front of the  benefactors  that keeps on taking  koan , so Master did not hear in the house shouting: "Go! Go! Go somewhere else! "Then someone took out the broom handle brush down the head, he falls unconscious. Passed by visitors to get up and lay awake, he  opened his eyes , and  suddenly  opened  the koan . Clap clap laughed. They say, "This monk is crazy!"

He  returned to the  temple, went to see Doan. Suffocated fan patted on the teacher: "I have my network! Promise never to be  satisfied  with ordinary incarnations! "So in 1708, Hue was awarded the teacher.

After  studying religion  with Hue Doan Canh Dao for six months, and three friends Hue Hac  companions  sailed  back  unmatched sound. No  document yet verified Master met his teacher, predicted to live 13 years longer. This is a  mystery  in  Bach  's  life .

Anyway, the Hue Hac still  continue  meditating  in many places in the province Suruga and Totomi, according to the teachings of Doan is cornered  downright  its  moral progress  after treatment. Since  practice  too intensely, should seriously Hue  Hac forestry  sick very fast, weak lungs, difficulty breathing. He walks away without  feeling  for his body, his ears are eager and sometimes his eyes are dim. Master Back  on the road  wandering . Visit Hakuyu on the outskirts of northeastern Kyoto. In episode  Da Voice boat  recounts the visit.

Return  Suruga, meditation under the  Insight  Ziyang  Decision of Bach U. Less than 3 years of healing. Principles of this practice is how  to talk  to  boss around full circle every organ, every strand of hair, a pores and not loose to escape a certain point causes  illness  may enter. Hue Crane from there begin  to answer the  koan difficult he has  participated at  long, later  enlightened  six seven times.

Between 20 and 30 years of age decade, Hue pagoda crane operator in the province rejected many Shimosa, Ise, Wakasa, Kawachi and Izumi on the main island, but no closer charming  monastery  lines  Rinzai . Izumi Master lives in temple Inryo-ji sect  Soto , met  students  Jukaku, both together  meditatingthroughout the night without sleep. One day Hue Hac  meditation  continuously for seven days and seven nights,  enlightened  and poems waka (inter-shift): 

How do people hear 
in the throne  epigraphic  far Between Shinoda forest snowfall night  lonely

After a   short time , Hui Hac left Inryō-ji   Temple back to the temple of Reishō-ji My Nung. But as  disappointing  as 50 increase  Rinzai  are  meditation  wearing pursuant  Soto . Teacher to Yamanoue province where  the teacher  Kanzan Egen,  the founder  Pagoda  Dieu Tam ,  retreat  Oldtimer, up a mountain grass am confused (Iwadaka)  spring  1715.

Solitude  for almost two years,  winter  1716, Hue was Crane who  trusted  his father is looking Shichibei met and  said  temple Tung Yin is now  in ruins , crumbling walls. The temple has no roof, looks heaven and stars sparkle through the night, but also no floor. The ceremony in the main  hall  meet the rain to wear a hat and high boots. All the products are in the hands of the temple of creditors, also  objects  owned  Teacher was also pledged for customers. The  only thingworth mentioning  here is the moonlight and  the wind . Hui Hac's father is sick and very  sad  about  the status of  the temple, Formerly  built by his uncle and  family  has been a  major employer for  many years. I was willing to follow  my father's wish that he should go to the old temple, so I left Shichibei to  return to his hometown .

Crossing the city of Edo from west to east, across the Hakone Pass, Mount Fuji  stands  on its side. Out of the towns of Mishima and Numazu, they crossed the pine forest, a windbreaking natural fortress   along the Tago beach off the Pacificcoast  . Finally  to the postal station on 13th  Avenue  Tokaido. Here, Hara with Tung Sin Temple on the way. Avenue of  the warlords often the delegation  entourage  went flanking shogun in Edo. Therefore, not only the lords and officials that many traders,  beggars ,  home  and  clergy  pass uninterrupted front gate Tung Yin.

At the beginning of 1717, the day of the  first monk  , Lệ Hạc, organized the ceremony  of incarnation and the  head of  the Tung Yin pagoda. Father died eleven months later. Shortly after Hui Crane started taking  French brand  Hakuin (Hakuin). This implies henceforth Master not leave unmatched sound, because  the French brand  Teacher derived from the name of the temple satisfied that  Hac Lam  Son Tung Yin Tu (Kakurin-zan Shoin-ji), ie the temple under the shadow Pine trees on the mountain in the forest of  Hino . When old  Buddha  enter Nirvana between Sa-la trees, forests,  ephemeral  blossom like a white crane birds. Therefore, the forest of la la in question-Thi-na called  Hac Lam . "Haku" is white, "in" is hidden,

Soon Hakuin was ordained easiest  Dictionary coordinates  in three-month  retreat at Wat  Dieu Tam , team line family  Rinzai  sect  Noble Center , a  center of meditation  important from of the Muromachi (1333-1568). Period  NAV  Rinzai create  impact  strongly on  culture  and politics in Japan, temples heading  Marble Son  (Integrity Trade  Marble Son  and Kinh  Marble Son ) and  Temple University German  of  National Professor  Dai Dang jewel time dirty. Nhat Hoang Hoa Vien  (Hanazono) as he left the house was to  study religion  with the General Post and offered him a  mansion  in the suburbs of Chengdu in 1337. Later Beijing to change temple  Noble Center  and a disciple  of him as Kanzan Egen  (Kanzan Egen) was appointed abbot . Quan Son set up a very strict practice that made Dieu Tam Pagoda  quickly famous  as the center of  Lam  Chi meditation superiority . Whose terms Hakuin retire  unmatched sound, voluntary obedience to  radical teachings of Master  Hue Doan at sealed : Later changed to Temple Noble Center and a disciple of him as Kanzan Egen (Kanzan egen) was appointed abbot . Quan Son set up a very strict practice that made Dieu TamPagoda quickly famous as the center of Lam Chi meditation superiority . Whose terms Hakuin retire unmatched sound, voluntary obedience to radical teachings of Master Hue Doan at sealed : Later changed to Temple Noble Center and a  disciple of him as  Kanzan Egen (Kanzan egen) was appointed  abbot . Quan Son set up a very strict practice that made Dieu Tam Pagoda  quickly famous as the center of Lam Chi meditation superiority . Whose terms Hakuin retire unmatched sound, voluntary obedience to radical teachings of Master Hue Doan at sealed : Quan Son set up a very strict practice that made Dieu Tam Pagoda quickly famous as the center of Lam Chi meditation superiority . Whose terms Hakuin retire unmatched sound, voluntary obedience to radical teachings of Master Hue Doan at sealed : Quan Son set up a very strict practice that made Dieu TamPagoda quickly  famous as  the center of Lam Chi  meditation superiority . Whose terms Hakuin  retire unmatched sound, voluntary  obedience to radical teachings of  Master Hue Doan at  sealed :

One day I  read the  Lotus Sutra , the  Hidden Imitation , which I did not consider important before, suddenly heard  the bell , Master understood the essence, the  legal as  market and inseparable. Dinh's insight into  the daily activities , he burst into tears. According Nien East Prussian Consul, as  disciples  in Falun, the  mutation  is the  use of the  word's  success . Perfect  Consciousness , now the  work to  do is  spread  the  realization . It was  the fall of the 42-year-old Bach.

Many  increase the  bronze to Tung Am Pagoda under  the teachings  of Bach.

*  During the first people to  the conference  with a  maiden  sixteen Satsu name. Only after a   short time she reached enlightenment. One day  sitting meditationon the chest, her father came to say:

- Hey! Do you know where you are sitting? There is  a Buddha  in the chest!

She replied:

- If there is no Buddha, please show me.

Her father  was very  amazing .

Another day the monk asked:

- What is the jade pool in the garbage dump?

Immediately  she threw the cup holding tank shattered.

During a  consultation , Hakuin  explains  a  koan  to her and asked:

- Do you understand?

She replied:

- Please tell me again.

As soon as Bach Ma opened his mouth, she interrupted:

- Thank you for the hard work!

White Hide dazed, shouted:

- Disgusting! The baby's mouth also smothered the milk makes us pee!

This story is told in episode bushes  thorny  of Soseki Myoki of the nineteenth century.

*  There was an old woman in Hara Hakuin heard preaching: "The mind is  the Pure  and the body is the Buddha  Amitabha . When Buddha  Amitabha  appeared , the rivers and mountains, plants are found  immeasurable  rays. " The old woman saw the  mystery ,  mourn  day and night. One day was washing the pot, suddenly glowed, she let down the pot to run to find hidden An shouted:

- Buddha  Amitabha  in me! Mountain river, trees resplendent  beauty  knows how!

Bach Hide:

- Hmmm! There is nothing shining in the hole!

She pushed Bach An one, shouting:

- Ồ! This person is not enlightened!

Bach Ma laughed loudly.

Bai An did not leave Tung Am Pagoda  for about  40 to 55 years old.

Professor open  telephony solutions  a few times a year,  teaching experience Phap Hoa ,  Duy Ma ,  Lin Ngu Luc  and  Blue Cliff Record . These lectures were  published in  the name of Kinh Do Dac Thuy. Monks  and  laypeople  converge on Tung Yin. Temple did not  meet  popular demand though only a small number of  practitioners increased . Most of  them  have to make a living outside. Their religious practice and overnight at private homes or vacant, am cup or temple  ruins , or under the eaves farms, some people even though the plug  outdoors .   

In 1740, he taught  Hsieh  Lu , this book he  studied  twenty years. Compared to  the conference  first in 1736 only thirty degrees, including eight monks resident, now four percent increase. He  speaks out  about the  decadence  of  Lin Chi school . According to Su,  the reason  so is because the teacher has approved  the project  a  form , should  students  not qualified,  if not  mean  unruly . Master said : "I do not consent to such priests. I will tear the corpse and swallow it if I catch it ... "

A few years later, he was invited to the Chadian Temple (Jishō-ji) in Kai Province to lecture the  Prajñā  Sutra . On the word "Bat-elegant", said: 

Deaf eyes blind eyes 
Night in  vain , the body disappears

To the sentence "Lust is no different," he said: 

A delicious bowl of soup 
Oh two lumps of mice!

1748, printed books Hakuin  Far La Thien Phu  (Oradegama)  alluded to  the kettle to make tea, the concept of  non-property  related  to  the project  's wife  Trieu Chau . The beginning of the book contains a letter to the warlord Nabeshima of the Saga branch in the western island of Jiuzhou. He teaches the ignorance by refraining and pushing himself to the right direction  as a soldier is crossing the enemy line. The  letter signed  "Master Icchantika (who can not and never  realized ), May 25, 1748."

The second part contains a letter to an imposter who is far from Tung Yin Temple. The monk was meditating.

The third part is the old letter to an attached cardboard Ni  Nichiren . Teacher presents  the power  of  the Lotus Sutra  and the  note : "Chanting  Namo  Lotus Sutra  is like koan".

Soan Tsumura, in time with the White House, paid homage to the monk in  A Sea of  Penance : "The  knowledge  of the Hidden White is  endless . It is said that he read out the  Tipitaka  seven times. Time to  ask the director , choose  the koan suitable  for   their sect . Under  Tantric  Master choose to hide in terms of  Vairocana , and if in the  Pure Land  , then choose from the  glass plate . "

Most of the  disciples  major to  the conference  of the Master, when he had 55 to 65 years. In  this period , he began painting the  Bodhisattvas . There are  Quan Yin , meditation  Patrimiers,  and cartoon characters such as the Monkey's Liver and the Circus. Paintings  period  this very meticulous care little, tiny bar lines. In calligraphy large letter size, the shape of the crescent and palm brush is not soft as in  the  later period .

The master's virtue is often  judged  by  his disciples . Although  life  Hakuin majority  abbot  in rural small temple, but the  disciples  as growing from  generation  this coming  generation of  other Rinzai. Thus, the Master has  finished  wishes  restore Zen  koan , and is considered the team  restored meditation Lin  International in Japan.

In every  disciple  has frozen Vienna From (Torei Enji), who wrote the  biographyof Hakuin and Toại He (Suio), designed as  abbot  unmatched sound. A  disciple is that Russia Son From Trac (Gasan Jito) two  students  are Anshan (Inzan) and Trac Thien (Takuju) has developed two lines of meditation the latter of  Rinzai , and to this day has There are 14 tribes. Each family has its own home,  detached monastery  and  Zen masters  are  descendants  of both Hide and Tac Thien. The son  of the Hidden Son has a strong  and  natural tone   while the Trac Thien line is so deep and soothing.

In  meditation  the  lineage  from teacher to student is the  primary concern, the primary duty of the teacher is to find the  successor . Hakuin conventional  cardboard weak  for freezing in a  ceremony  in particular, on 25 December 1749. Back to holidays Tenjin god  protection  Ox, a day of  momentous  in  the life  of Hakuin. At that time, she was 65 years old and Dong Lanh was 29 years old. Master practitioner   7 years together . Some  school personnel  to  meditate  at Wat Tung Yin growing. In addition ,  

During these years, Hakuin received many letters  involved learn  about meditation, there are questions brought  personality  personal  or belong to  the church . He often responds by the name of the forest and then prints it. The first book named  daisy Gai  (Oniazami) in 1751,  followed by  the  United  slender (Yabukoji) and  Left snake's head  (Hebichigo).

Although still guide  learners  according to  inborn  per person, Hakuin's teaching are  related  closely with  the project  's wife  Trieu Chau . But around 1748 there is a  change . Hakuin wrote in  United  Slender : "... In 45 years such waiver friends and  family , not  to lose the  old or young, whether  into or cowardly , just wish everyone  reaches  capacity  to penetrate  university Things , so I  ask  them to call letters. I have to use  clever means  to open the way for them. Some people have achieved results according to  ability, and I  feel  satisfied . But since 5 years I have used a  different method  . I force  people  to hear the words of a handgun. This is different from my previous teaching. Learners  find it easier. The difference is enormous . "

Also in this letter, Bach said  , "Zen  master Lin Chi  and even the  Soto Movementof  old   people  return to Amitabha Buddha  ! "Hakuin  commented  that meditation sect does include  measures to  cultivate and  beliefs  Pure Land sooner will perish.

Flower  slender , the first is a letter sent Tsugumasa lord Ikeda of Okayama in the province bizen territory. Master's Ikeda met the  teachings  of  Kim Cang  Luan League  of United suTrung meditation XII century. From then on, each time there was an Edo trip to turn, the lords stopped at Tung Yin Pagoda. One day, Bach An offered him Sa-kie's glass and told him to give the soldier standing beside him with a choppy look. To the soldier, this is a  special honor   in  the  military career , because of his warlord Safer millet will naturally be raised to the rank of veteran. Later he boxer was  back  having Hakuin expressed  gratitude .

Around 1750, Ikeda's palanquin stopped at the government guest  house  in Hara on the way from the capital. Before that, the  head of Tung Yin Temple broke a jar. Before leaving Hara, warlords have asked Su pagoda  lack  expenditures to his offerings. He  replied that the  temple was not empty except for the new tank this morning. Touched  by an  abbot  who asked for so little, the warlord arrives at Bizen and orders for a high-speed horse and a high-speed horse   to Tung Yin. The bourgeoisie of bourgeois and dark brown  to this  day is still  famous . To express their  joy , Teacher for a pot hanging on pine branches near the temple in the garden. By now the pot is still in place. It has stood with storms for two centuries. Pine trees continue to  rise and the pot is also dangling higher.

"The face of the person is  special . Tia eyes look   like galaxies , walk like a serpent. Power  eminent  and very difficult  to close . "Frozen has  described  his teacher like the Yellow Pages in the end Prussia. Statue placed in the temple Tung Yin  considered  by the hand of Bach repent take  portraits  of himself, a  man  assertive  and  dynamic . Perhaps many Buddhists at that time did   not have the  sympathy  for   this human figure . At the age of 71, Bach's self-portraiture  portrait , accompanied by poems:

Almost later Bach wrote this poem on  his portrait  .

After 1750, in the 65s to 75s, his pen might say that he  reached the pinnacle  of art. Reputation  resounding , restaurant  nuns  and  lay people  want a Master's calligraphy. Masterpiece  Kwan exuded  strength  in the overall and  detailed . People in the picture as  stepping out  of the frame to meet with the audience. The  picture  Seven Gods  of Happiness  , and  the Quan Yin  Cu  drawing intricate and look very  interesting , colorful and  wonderful . The lines are soft, Going from dark streaks to strong markers, irregularly structured text  and  deformed text , often when the magnitude of the text changes within a  work . Painting of  the topic  of the Master more and  more popular . He drew a cartoon  while also  citing  the koan . A topic is often drawn many times and distributed  immediately after  completion . This time  people often see the  portrait of  a  cheerful ,  dress-up  old man , that is the  Great Godfather . There are also picture  portrait  of the Master, A happy old man  in brief moments stopped in the midst  of  austerity. Rō Shi did not repair the damaged parts, leaving the  work unfinished, because there were some missing one or two words.

Bach Nhat, when  teaching the  times, did not advocate the change  of  feudalsociety , but put his mission in harmony with  the  Confucian virtue  in Japan at that time. He also advised  people to  study Buddhism,  meditation , but because not everyone can follow well-century  administrative law  maintenance should seriously He also counseled them  to find ways  to live happily, collective  satisfaction  in all  circumstances .

There is an abandoned temple called Ryūtaku-ji in Yōtō near the ancient city of Mishima, about eleven kilometers east of Hara. His  congregation offered to make a place for  meditation . In February 1760,  people  prayed  for the monk  , he accepted the word and  entrusted  the Eastern  abbot . Dong Lanh goes to Savvachi mountain, Mishima. In September 1761, the East Leader  gathered a hundred  monks and nuns to  hear the  sermon .

July 1764 Master not do  abbot  never sound again, made the  disciples  Toại He  inherit . At that 80-year-old and 40-year-old Toai He has lived with him for 18 years. But instead of the Master brand, which is very beloved  disciple , the teacher-student suddenly pale,  troubled . The reason  is not known, but he left the temple Tung Yin Toại go to the temple in 1765  Quan Yin  (Kannon-ji) also in Hara.

Later, Bach Nong  fell ill . The East reaches to Edo to repair the remains of  the Shogun (Shidō Bunan) where the master of Hue Doan   was hermit past , and then came back to Bach Ma. But  increasing them  Tung Yin Temple does not  agree . In the end , in 1766, the Eastern Fraternity sent an Enkyō to Hara who sent him to Edo. Master went to pass Hakone Enkyo procession along the four monks Tung Yin temple  followed  begged  Master  returned . Enkyō must explain the  full extent  of  his filial piety to the sick healer, the four new monks with the heels. Enkyō goes with Ed  to  Edo.

In this year, Gasan Jitō came to study  with Bach Da  in Edo. At that time Russia was 40 years old and had paint waiver practice throughout Japan,  taking school more than 30  Zen master , but you do not respond properly  to the wish  through the  oral  fierce . Therefore, when meeting Bach Bach, Nga Son asked a series of questions. Three times in the room, three times were hit by the door. In episode  bushes  thorny , Russia Son told three times  to participate is  this: "I do not care about  virtue  super great teacher, though the wine list around the country, I did not  notice . I'm not concerned  about the  perception  of an outstanding teacher or lettered money by  masters of contemporary, even though there are hundreds of thousands of  monks and nuns  gathered around him, though he is  seen as Buddha re  eschatological  time. For me only one thing: The contemporary  international lawyers  gave foot pedal arms held me three times like heaven, shove me into a corner, pushed me to the ends ".

Nga Son then stay  involved studying  the Master, then with frozen. And 9 years later, when the president was frozen Hakuin  conventional methods . Whatever has frozen  the city  for Nga Son, but always see Russia Son as  disciples  of his teacher.

Hakuin was sick and often years, but fine three  marvelous  in the art of promoting Master  climax  in late  life . Calligraphy with road pen to thick and dark ink, a very  creative  intense and epic had opened  work  out the sharp lines with balanced composition of the early years - a  progression  seen in many  paintings Painting as  Namo  Hell  Bodhisattva  and  Elaborate  In Action.

Bach's paintings at  the  end of life are the mottling more and more quietly, the color of water wearing light. Hand  writing  very  freely , we can say was  freed negativity . The shape is more and more casual, with a tendency to be flat without depth. The  Bodhi-Dag  Bich is a  great example . Although Hakuin draw a lot of controversy about  Bodhi Dat-ma , a  theme  is the  meditation  fancy  putting up frame graphics, but in  work  on, the shadow of the team is very  typical , line pen fleeting and  Sure , He is now meditating , opening the door  to liberation . Between the ages of 81 and 83, he painted a lot and was  everywhere popular  . And  the light of Bach An continued  to  light up  faintly .

Being invited to Long Trach Temple to celebrate Tet in 1786, he said: "I am 84 years old and have not seen any happy Tet like today, I have  to thank  Dong Lanh. Frozen rise Master sticky buns  traditional , but only a few pieces.

In November, Bach   Hien returned to Tung Yin Pagoda, the illness increased, the  four elements are not harmonic. December 7, physician in the District District said:

- Weak circuit is not strange.

Master rebuk:

- I'm going to die, not more than three days, do not know what is called a physician?

10th, Master  commissioned  work for Toại He, was Master for  repentance . I lay still on the cushion, and dawn on the 11th, the  last cries  , the right leaning on the right, at the age of 84, leaving the shelves from the world as usual of the  teacher .

Hakuin  ending  a lifetime  of living  in  silence .

Day 15, take off, tower in three places. There are more than 40 people, including Mr. Nguyen Luu, Nga Son Tu Trac, Huu Phinh, Quyet Long, Dong Nham. The  practitioners of the secular practitioners  accept the ceremony difficult to know. France  flourishing in the  old days  have little. The emperor Thien HanhZen Master Spirit Co  alone,  National  Buddhism Chief. Language continental carved in forest Single Binary than ten books are  in circulation  in the world. END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.27/4/2017.
