Knowing Is Easy And Difficult To Do.

Su Dongpo of Song Dynasty studied Zen quite well, known as "Dongpo".

Although he did not do enough meditation, he was conscious of a certain degree of effort.

One day, he was in a whim, and his inspiration was like a flood. He wrote a song: "the head is in heaven, the light is shining, and the eight winds do not move."

He thought he was enlightened and wanted to give a good friend to Buddha's Zen master, so he sent a waiter to the Jinshan Temple across the river.

Buddhist monk Zen master saw, on the original paper, "fart! Fart!" four words, to the people to bring back.

As soon as Su Dongpo saw it, there was no open fire three feet tall and furious. How could it be? This is the Enlightenment of enlightenment. Why is it farting? So he crossed the river to find Buddhist Buddhist Zen master to settle accounts.

When he came to the Mountain Gate of Jinshan Temple, the Buddhist Buddhist Zen master had been waiting for his presence there. Buddha saw Su Dongpo laughing. "Well, a great master of Su's" eight winds unable to move "did not expect a blow to come across the river. Welcome! Welcome! Su Dongpo was full of fire and was just about to explode. He was told by the old Zen master that he felt justified, so he admitted that he was not enough.

Zen is deeds, not words.
