Buddhist idioms, allusions, storiesThe following are some Buddhist idioms and stories:
1. [Unrequited Love: Originated from the Hundred Analogies Sutra. It was a story about a fool who fell in love with a princess. He ignored the fact that the princess did not know him at all and only wanted to marry the princess according to his own wishes, thus causing unrequited love.] This idiom generally refers to one-sided wishes and plans.
2. ** Heart Fragrance **: Fragrance petals are shaped like melon petals, round at the top and bottom, arranged in strips inside and outside, while the shape of the heart is slightly similar to the petal fragrance, so there is such a saying. When a Zen temple opened its doors to preach, it was common to offer incense to the founder first. However, Buddhism believed that the "true offering" of inner purity, compassion, and piety was more important than the formal offering of incense.
3. [Becoming a monk halfway through the journey]: Becoming a monk referred to breaking away from the life at home and cultivating the pure conduct of a monk. In the Buddhist classic, the Vimalakirti Sutra, it was mentioned that if parents did not listen, they could not become monks. This idiom originally referred to a person who became a monk or nun after he or she grew up. Later, it was used to describe a person who changed his or her profession after being born in a different profession.
4. Three Lives Luck: Three Lives in Buddhism referred to the previous life, this life, and the next life. As recorded in the Jingde Lantern Record, there was a provincial man who dreamed of his three lives. This idiom was used to describe great luck, such as in Wang Shifu's Romance of the Western Chamber and Wei Wei's Dongfang.
5. Buddhism classified all material phenomena into four basic elements, namely, the firm "earth", the wet "water", the warm "fire", and the dynamic "wind". They were called the "four big". Different from the Five Elements, Buddhism did not dwell on the relationship between the five elements. For things that were not understood objectively, they simply put them aside. Those that existed objectively but were not understood clearly were considered empty.
6. [Head and Mind]: It was originally a Zen phrase that referred to the realm after enlightenment, namely the integration of the state of mind, the integration of the inside and outside, the integration of eating and dressing, and the opening and closing of the mouth with the "wonderful way". Ancient poets often used it to describe the spirituality of the world and the interest of Zen. Later, it also described the language and actions of the two sides, all of which were in accordance with the rules.
7. Borrowing Flowers to Present Buddha: From the Karma Sutra of the Past and Present, the story of the Buddha's Enlightenment in the murals of the Qiuci Grottoes had this scene. In the story, when the Buddha was the Cloud Boy in his previous life, he wanted to offer lotus flowers to the Burning Lamp Buddha. After the lotus flowers in the city were bought out, a woman gave her lotus flowers to the Cloud Boy. The Cloud Boy used the lotus flowers to offer the Burning Lamp Buddha and spread his leather clothes and hair on the mud road where the Buddhist scriptures passed. Therefore, the merit was granted by the Burning Lamp Buddha to become a Buddha. It was now generally used as a metaphor for doing favors by taking other people's things.
8. [Goddess Scattering Flowers]: From the Vimalakirti Sutra, the scattered flowers in the murals of Qiuci Grottoes mostly appear in the image of "flying flowers" in the stories of meditation in Dishi Cave and Nirvana of Buddha. The Buddhist scriptures recorded that after the Buddha's Nirvana, when the heavens mourned, the Flying Heavens came in droves, scattering flowers or playing music to express their offerings. Later, it was often described as throwing things or snowing heavily.
9. [Prostrate oneself on the ground]: From the Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang, it was the highest form of Buddhist etiquette. It was reflected in the story painting of "Fulouna Becoming a Monk" in the murals of Qiuci. Fulouna was born at the same time as Shakyamuni. After adulthood, he went to the snow mountain to cultivate ascetically. After Shakyamuni became a Taoist, he converted to Buddha with the highest etiquette of "prostrating" and later became one of the ten most famous disciples of Buddha. Now, the general analogy was extremely admirable.
10. From the Nirvana Sutra, Buddhism believed in karma. It believed that what one suffered in this life was the result of what one did in the previous life, and what one did in this life was the cause of reincarnation in the next life. In the murals of the Qiuci Grottoes, the karma story of the poor girl Nantuo offering a lamp reflected this causality. The poor girl Nantuo was born in a poor family because of the sins of her previous life, but she still wanted to burn a lamp to worship Buddha. This idiom is used to describe the result of one's actions.
