忽必烈大帝(大结局)
御史台府衙内,玉昔铁木尔拍着厚厚的奏本对陈天祥说:“你真能写呀。我一年写不了几个奏本,皇上还烦我絮絮叨叨的,不让他耳根清净。你这么多奏本呈上去,皇上什么时候看完啊?你呀,写文章写成书呆子了。我告诉你,你把这一大堆精炼成一个奏本,把那些华丽不实的字句全删除,把那些无关痛痒的批评也都砍了,只留干货,就像杀了牛一样,扒皮剃肉,只留下骨头,大汗一眼就看明白了这骨头是黑是白。你听明白没有?”Dropping Ashes on the Buddha
Somebody comes into the Zen center with a lighted cigarette, walks up to the Buddha statue, blows smoke in its face, and drops ashes on its lap. You are standing there. What can you do? This is a problem that Zen Master Seung Sahn is fond of posing to his American students who attend his Zen centers. Dropping Ashes on the Buddha is a delightful, irreverent, and often hilariously funny living record of the dialogue between Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn and his American students. Consisting of dialogues, stories, formal Zen interviews, Dharma speeches, and letters using the Zen Master's actual words in spontaneous, living interaction with his students, this book is a fresh presentation of the Zen teaching method of instant dialogue between Master and student which, through the use of astonishment and paradox, leads to an understanding of ultimate reality.
