A little story about Chinese philosophy I am gonna tell an old story about Chinese philosophy today. It happened in China’s Song dynasty when about 11th century. The most famous poet of ancient China, Sushi, sat in meditation with the abbot of the temple one day. Suddenly he burst into laughter while watching the chubby abbot sitting up straight beside him, and said:”look at you, sitting there, just like a pile of cow dung!” Th abbot was giggling after hearing that and responded:”well, you look like the Buddha with your benevolent and kind countenance!” The poet felt very happy and told his sister excitedly about that after getting home. His sister didn’t laugh, instead, she seriously said:”My dear brother, you looked like the Buddha in the abbot’s eyes, just because that Buddha existed in the abbot’s heart, so he felt everybody looked like the Buddha. At the same time, you considered the abbot as a pile of cow dung, just because your heart only have cow dung in it!” That is to say, the things you get in your eyes are those you have in your heart.
