Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian lived in Jinshan Temple. One day, they made bread to eat. The two of them agreed not to tell the Buddhist seal in the temple this time about making cakes. After a while, the cake was cooked. After counting the number, they first presented the cake to the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva, bowed diligently, and prayed. Unexpectedly, the Buddha's seal had been hidden in the divine tent in advance. While the two were kneeling to pray, they reached out and stole two pieces of bread. After Su Shi paid his respects, he stood up and saw that two pieces of cake were missing. He knelt down and prayed again, "Guanyin Bodhisattva is so powerful. He ate two pieces of cake. Why didn't he come out to meet you?" Foyin replied in the tent: "I If I have some noodles, I’ll make some with you. Don’t you dare bother me?” Su Dongpo was in Hangzhou and liked to make friends with the monks from the West Lake Temple. He was the best friend with the monk Foyin of Jinshan Temple. The two of them often joked while drinking and reciting poems. Monk Foyin was delicious. Whenever Su Dongpo entertained guests at banquets, he always came uninvited. One night, Su Dongpo invited Huang Tingjian to visit the West Lake. There were a lot of wine and food on the boat. As the cruise ship left the shore, Su Dongpo smiled and said to Huang Tingjian: "Foyin has to come to every gathering. Tonight we will take a boat to the lake to drink and recite poems and have a good time. He will not be able to come anyway." Who knows? Monk Foyin had already found out that Su Dongpo was going to travel to the lake with Huang Tingjian, so he hid under the cabin board before they got on the boat. The bright moon was in the sky, the cool breeze was refreshing, and the fragrance of lotus filled the lake. The cruise ship slowly came to the Three Pagodas of West Lake. Su Dongpo held the wine glass, twirled his beard, and happily said to Huang Tingjian: "There is no Buddha seal today, so we are quite quiet. First of all, Let's make a drinking order. The first two sentences should be "Ji Jing" and the last two sentences should be ended with "Zai". "Huang Tingjian said: "Okay!" Su Dongpo said first: "The clouds are gone and the moon is shining. What can the sky say? "Huang Tingjian looked at the lotus flowers in the lake, and then said: "Pull the lotus leaves away, and the fish will come out, you will find it!"

At this time, Foyin could not bear it anymore. After Huang Tingjian said that, he pushed away the plank of the ship, climbed out, and said: "Pull the plank aside, and the Buddha's seal comes out. It's so embarrassing! It's so embarrassing!" Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian saw a man suddenly crawling out from under the plank of the ship. When the man came, he was startled. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be the Buddha's seal. Hearing these four lines of poetry from him, he couldn't help laughing. Su Dongpo took the Buddha seal and sat down, and said: "You hid it well and you were right, but you finally got it again today!" So the three of them admired the moon and went to the lake, chatting and laughing. After the conservatives in the imperial court were restored, Sima Guang, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty who was famous for smashing vats, returned to the throne, and the new law was completely abolished. At this time, Su Shi, who was also a conservative, advocated that the new law should not be completely negated and that good people and bad people should be treated differently. Therefore, he had a fierce conflict with Sima Guang and was demoted to Guazhou again. Although Su Shi believed in Buddhism, he did not like monks. I heard that there was a monk named Foyin in Guazhou Jinshan Temple who was very famous. When Su Shi heard about it, he was not convinced and decided to go to the mountain to meet the old monk! In the temple, Su Shi talked about everything from the emperor to civil and military officials, from governing the country to how to be a human being. The monk listened quietly. Su Shi looked down on Foyin from the bottom of his heart when he saw that Foyin had been silent. I thought to myself: Everyone said he was capable, but he is just a fool, and he came here to defraud a few people out of their incense money! The topic slowly turned to Buddhist matters. At this time Foyin asked: "What kind of person should Lao Na be in the eyes of Mr. Su Shi?" Su Shi was full of contempt and casually replied: "What do you think in the eyes of ordinary people?" You may be capable, but that's because they are shallow. In fact, you make up your mind every day and have no real talent. You are just a liar!" Foyin smiled slightly and said nothing. Seeing him like this, Su Shi not only looked down upon the monk even more, but also became very proud of himself, so he took advantage of it and asked: "Who do you think I, the Great Scholar Su, am in your eyes?" "You are a very knowledgeable and cultivated person. Man, it is better for you to lose yourself!" Foyin replied. After returning home, Su Shi proudly told his little sister how to make the monk in the morning. After hearing this, Su Shi laughed so much that her rice gushed out. Su Shi was confused and asked: "Why are you laughing, little sister?" "When you belittle the monk, he is not angry but praises you. Who do you think has cultivation? How can cultivation come from without knowledge? You still think you are better than others. Strong? I’m so embarrassed that you don’t even know!” After hearing this, Su Shi suddenly realized that he and Master Foyin became sworn friends from then on.

One day, Su Shi and Foyin were visiting the West Lake by boat. Master Foyin suddenly took out a fan with poems inscribed by Dongpo layman, threw it into the river, and loudly said: "The water flows Dongpo poems (corpse)!" At that time, Su Shi was stunned. After a while, he quickly pointed to the dog gnawing bones on the river bank and chanted: "The dog is chewing the bones on the river!"

With nothing to do, Su Shi went to Jinshan Temple to visit the Buddha's seal. Master, unexpectedly, a young novice came to open the door. Su Shi said proudly: "Where is the bald donkey?" The little novice monk pointed calmly into the distance and replied: "Eating grass on Dongpo!" Su Shi's close friend Foyin, although a monk, did not avoid wine and meat. On this day, Foyin fried fish and drank wine, and Su Shi happened to come to visit. Foyin hurriedly hid the fish under the big chime (wooden fish). Su Shi had already smelled the fish fragrance and disappeared when he came in. Thinking of Huang Tingjian's trick that day, he suddenly thought of a plan and said deliberately: "I came to ask the master today, what is the next sentence of Xiangyang Mendi's spring is always there?" Foyin I was deeply surprised that my old friend read out an old and well-known sentence, so I said the following sentence casually: People who accumulate good deeds will be blessed. Su Shi put his palms in his hands and laughed: "Since there are fish (surplus) in the chime (qing), let's accumulate some kindness and use it to enjoy it." Once, Su Shi made an appointment with his younger brother Su Che and Master Foyin. The three of them traveled together, and Foyin improvised a sentence: Wushan is as good as Wushan. The key lies in the homophony of "wu" and "wu". Su Che said: How can a leaf be as round as a lotus leaf? After hearing this, Su Shi said to his younger brother: It is good to use the homophonic pronunciation of "He He" and "无武", but would it be better to change it to this: He water can be as clear as a river. After hearing this, Foyin and Su Zhe agreed. Using "water" against "mountain" would win the battle more steadily. One day, Su Shi and Foyin were meditating together. Su Shi asked: "Look what I look like." Foyin said: I think you look like a Buddha. Su Shi laughed and said to Foyin: Do you know what you look like sitting there? Just like a pile of cow dung. Foyin smiled but did not answer. Su Shi went home and showed off this matter in front of Su Xiaomei. Su Xiaomei sneered and said to her brother, "With your level of understanding, you still practice Zen. Do you know what is the most important thing for Zen practitioners?" It’s about seeing one’s heart and one’s nature. If the Buddha's seal says that you look like a Buddha, that means he has a Buddha in his heart; if you say that the Buddha's seal looks like cow dung, think about what is in your heart!
