Tam Sinh Thach.

石 石

Hangzhou, West Lake has a rock called  tam thach . The rock department has the following areas:

In the Tang Dynasty, the reign of King Huyen Tong, at that time there was an An Lộc Son disorder that destroyed the great city of Luoyang. The prime minister of the citadel was the minister, Ly Dang, because no enemy was killed. The children of Li Dang follow his father should be harmed, only child named Li Bang for taking office in Ham Ninh should not be in trouble. Another child, Ly Nguyen, who was only eight years old, escaped, then vanished, serving as a servant to humanity, lost in the human world.

Seven years later, someone familiar with Ly Dang family identified Ly Nguyen should bring him back to relatives. At that time, Ly Dang's old house was expropriated by the temple, named Hue Lam Tu.

On the day of liberation, a few years later, the dynasty renamed the king. Now the King of Great Orchestra heard Li Yuan as the descendant of King Li Deng should lower the style of Li Yuan as a mercenary in Ha Nam, then ordained as Farmer Silver. But Ly Nguyen in the heart of sad father killed by the enemy so no interest in the mandarin. He swore that all life will not do mandarin, not married, not eat meat, drink wine, to take filial piety. So he declined the position, decided to return to his hometown, visit home is the temple of Hue Lam.

After spending a few weeks riding back to the boat, he came back to his hometown. Standing in front of the door, watching the bulb scene, has undergone many changes, his heart back. Reflecting on it, he found his house turned into a pagoda is also a good thing, because it is offering the Three Jewels, rather than falling into the hands of selfish self. He stepped forward, knocking on the door.

The abbot was Master Vien Trach opening the door. The teacher is still young, the two meet, just a few hours, have sympathy as old friends. Master Vien Trach led Li Yuan to finish the ceremony, then took him to Ly Dang's old residence. You said that my tutor taught that layman Li Dang was a humanitarian goddess, a few years ago the Lia family decided to bring this flamboyant to offer the Three Jewels, is very meritorious. So the pagoda retains the layperson's room as a souvenir. When Li Yuan saw the room of his father was very touching, crying for the people who have lost the ball.

Then Li Yuan decided to stay at the temple, Buddhist holidays, practice meditation, eat a meal, learn the framework of the monk. Every day he left to leave in front of his father's room, kneeling prostrate, filial piety.

Time to escape, back over the past few years. Now, Yuan Zedong and Li Yuan were in their sixties. One day, Li Yuan said to him, "I have heard that the Pratatta Bodhisattva of Sichuan Mountain is very inspirational and we have the strength I want to win with him. What is your point of view?

Vientiane replied: "I heard through the director in Russia Mi. But hundred hear not equal one."

Li Yuan said: "We can take a boat down Jingzhou, Hubei, always convenient to see the water scene."

"I think I should take the road to Truong An, shorter than the waterway."

Chang'an protested: "I am not very happy with Chang'an, because I do not want to be an officer, so if I go there, I will meet a lot of people, just annoying." Then two dissenting opinions can not be resolved, so six months later decided to go by water.

On the day of departure, the meditation teacher called Lieu Tinh in the room, gave a letter, saying: "This is the letter written to the layman Li.When the layman returned to the temple, please hand delivery This letter is for me. " Will Tinh is surprised to know why his teacher did not immediately deliver the letter, had to wait for Ly Nguyen to return to new delivery. But do not dare words, Will Pure only know how to put away, waiting.

Then they set out, going out for the night, taking off their horses to the boat. So the knife knife, in honor of painting the bar, very happy pleasure. One afternoon, when the boat passed through Nam Phu district to stay overnight, they suddenly saw an assistant from the riverside house coming out, yeast to the river to draw water. As soon as she saw the woman, walking slowly as she was pregnant, Zen Master Vien Trach appeared dazed, staggered back, the railing of the boat wall to not fall.

Li Yuan promptly asked, "Trash, what is your body insecure?"

The teacher just sighed: "I ... I ... I'm not physically insecure, but ... but ..." Speaking of this, the meditator slowly sat down. He thought for a moment, sighed, continued: "Ha! Just think of the time we have to say goodbye, my heart is sad."

Li Yuan asked, "Why do you say such unreasonable words!"

The Zen master shook his head and said, "The layman, you see the widow, are you born again?"

Li Yuan said: "Ah, you said the truth?"

"Yes, because I do not want to reincarnate too soon, so the wife has not been able to have a baby for a long time," said the Zen master. Now, have met, see her so hard with the fetus, how can I be selfish just think of myself, then refuse On the ability of meditation to resist karma?

Li Yuan burst out crying: "Well, soon you say, we will not go to the waterway, and will not see her, and ..."

The Zen master said, "No one can change the way I want to avoid it, no matter how much you want me to help you. When I see him I will smile to prove it, then after thirteen years, on the moonlit night, come to the back of the Thien Truc Temple in Hangzhou to see me. "

Li Yuan just do not know how to say.

That night, the teacher would wash his clothes, dressed in fine clothes, body itself, said Ly Nguyen, then closed his eyes, entered the city. Illuminate Li Yuan for the caretaker, as well as information for disciples and followers. On the third day, Li Yuan went alone to find the house. Upon arrival, Li Yuan was told by her family that she had been born two nights ago. But strange, they say, baby was born more than two days, crying non-stop. Li Yuan said: "I have a method to stop you crying and smile, can you let me visit? The family led Li Yuan. When the baby was in his mother, cried cried. Li Yuan asked me: "Trach, is it you? If you are a trafficker, please smile for me." He seemed to know the meaning, immediately smiling, shook hands, Seems very close. At that time, Li Yuan was convinced that this is the aftermath of Zen Master Nanzhu, so he cried up, happy and confused. Surprised mother surrendered, asked Li Yuan why he cried. So he brought his tail to narrate to her and family members heard. Everyone was shocked. He said, "I am present at the Huilin Temple, Luoyang, hoping to keep in touch with him later, and I will definitely visit him often." After saying this, he reported the word. Hopefully later we stay in touch. I will definitely visit him regularly. " Hopefully later we stay in touch. I will definitely visit him regularly. "

Coming back to the wharf for the cremation ceremony for Master Vien Trach finished, Li Yuan decided to immediately return to Luoyang. When Liễu Tinh opened the pagoda, saw Li Yuan, uncle very surprised, did not understand what happened, why did not see the same teacher. Li Yuan told the past events. Then Lieu Tinh Pure new sweetheart said: "Before leaving, the teacher left a letter to the layman, let me take you look!" Speaking then Lieu Tinh entered the room and took out an envelope. Li Yuan, knelt down, solemn receive the letter. The letter says:

Enemy of the ring of suffering, the object of preferentialism,
Reconciliation of samsaric retribution, Courage of three
willow conditions, The
spare part of freedom, money predestined.

Italian poetry is: Please be patient, do not worry attachment. Karma created in samsara, now I pay, can not be delayed for a long time. But the friendship between us in three lives is not over. Let's wait. The future will have the opportunity to talk about the old, ancient.

Translation:

Forbearance is no longer waiting to be ruled,

Rolling back to ignorance,

Three generations attached tight rope,

Please make appointment after the date of grace. (first)

Read the letter, Li Yuan can not handle the flow of the flow. Nguyen Chau has learned this before. If we knew this was the case, we would not go to water.

A few months later, on a fall foliage, rain fell, Li Yuan received a letter from the woman in the South. But when he finished watching the letter he was stunned: baby that Zen master Ren Zetek has died. Li Yuan thought, "If the traffickers are in the South, then why would we want to come to Thien Truc Pagoda? Sentence: Three willow pratī ". Li Yuan silent standing in front of the door, pondering on the meaning of human life, in the life of civilization, his career karmic ...

Then the time to escape. Blinked for thirteen years. Li Yuan is still living here but still living in Hue pagoda people are different from the old. The young man, when he entered the temple, now ceded his gray hair, sticks help legs. Song love affair closely with the same old Trace. Nearing the Lunar New Year's Day that year, Li Yuan hung up to horseback on the road, heading for West Lake in Hangzhou.

Considering that Trach should definitely reincarnate in the vicinity of Thien Truc Pagoda, Ly Nguyen went around the temple to believe, but he did not find any information. In the end, just as the prosecution said, he came to the back of the temple waiting. He found a creek running crooked water, two sides of the trees graceful. Twilight falls to cover all over the place ...

A moment later, Moonlight Moon Moonlight slowly rise out of the mountain side, rising up in mid-sky, illuminating four surfaces. But Li Yuan still have the heart to watch the moon? Abdomen he still drowning, restless: "Do not know the plague remember the promise? With your beard, face changes in my life, do you recognize me? Feeling his seat is not easy to see others, Li Yuan went to find a huge rock, then climb up there, waiting.

Soon, the footsteps echoed from across the creek. Looking closely, Li Yuan saw a baby face the main contrition, serene nature, riding on the buffalo, slowly advancing. Emotionally flushed, Ly Nguyen stammered: "Is it Trae ..." He did not stop, smile baby mouth, soaked up on the poem that:

Three former students quartz crystal rooftop soul,
Bonus Quarter style soaking weak opening speech,
Tam quarter fiction lovers simulation,
test yourself but casual nature remains.

Italian poetry is: Ly Nguyen, who is standing on the rock he is old friends in my three lives. But we do not talk about watching the moon, reciting poetry, talk what to do. I am ashamed to my dear friend from afar to visit. Our body has changed, but our nature is forever.

Translation:

　

Three generations on the stone forge,

Wind bay soaked the moon set aside,

Blessed the friends from far away,

The body is still the same. (2)

Being sure that Trạch công, Lý Nguyên excited excited: "True Trace! Trace ..."

He slowly said: layman! He is so faithful! Layman! Your path and mine are very different. His life is not over yet. If you continue to practice, do not fall into the evil three, the future we will reunion.

Li Yuan wondered: "Ah, so you say, do not you have any idea about the Temple of Hue?"

The layman smiles: "The layman, on the coast of every meeting, has to be solved, there are flowers that hatch and no leaves, leaves that do not fall, meeting face does not tan? "

Saying, the baby pat the buffalo's back, saying: "Please stop buffalo, layman, please remember my words nhé: continue to practice, do not fall into three martyrs, the future we will again correlate. "

Then he walked his buffalo and turned his head in the direction that the buffalo had come. He slowly gently lifted the soft words:

The body of the progenitor bearing the mangrove,
the voice of the coast of the coast,
Ngô Việt tam through the range,
Rebuttal of Cu Mong.

Fairy . . . . .

Italian poetry is: before life and after all the truth is immense. Want to say all the charms but fear that you will hurt the intestines. This mountain, but I have found all, but only back home to see  it (Buddha Tanh).

Translation:

Body before the body after the desire 
To say the coast of fear of the 
Ngo River Ngai Vietnamese people have found around the 
Khua rowing back to Cu Duong. (3)

Front of body ... 

Li Yuan stood silent as he planted, not knowing how to respond. He thought that today's reunion is so short. I have to invite the old man back to the old pagoda to talk to the hospital ... When the buffalo and baby from behind the bushes, he suddenly startled. Panic he shouted: Trace! Trace! . . . Then, trying his best, he hurried down the rock. Frightened by the fear of not catching up with Trace, he hurried across the creek. While urgent, he throws his legs, falling down the creek. Trying to stand up, wet body full, very difficult to walk through the creek. Now look around, see only under the full moon, every place as quiet as sheets. The sound of four insects echoing at night. But what is the silhouette of the peacock? Suddenly two rows of tears flowed on Ly Nguyen's cheeks.

Li Yuan back to Huilin continue to practice. Two years after the history of the story is Ly Duc Duc Tuan that Li Yuan is a middle-class, pious, moral, inviting the king of importance. Then the Way of the Tongue sounded, but the guy resolutely rotten words. He continued to practice diligently in the temple, helping teachers understand the cause of cause and effect. He is deeply aware of the boundless power of karma, and the miserable living and moving in this realm. There is nothing more urgent than sincere recitation of the Buddha, the birth of the Pure Land, to escape from samsara. END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC.( TNCT ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.5/7/2017.
