In another occassion, SDP and Zen master discusses on
enlightenment, SDP became cranky and said to the Zen
master: “master, you knew that what at this moment you look like in
my eye?”The Zen master said that did not know. SDP said: “in
my eye, you are pile of cow dung.” To much amazement, instead
of becoming angry, the master smiles and said: “just the
opposite, in my eye, you are a fresh flower.”SDP is overjoyed,
and goes home happily to mention this matter to the younger
sister. She said: “elder brother, Did you really think you are in
the bargain?" SDP is relentless: “No? I insulted him
being the cow dung, and to hide his shame of being angry, he
had to praise me being the fresh flower.”The younger sister
said: “No. A wisdom in Buddhism, what you see is reflected from
what is in your heart. To you, he is the cow dung, because
your heart has the cow dung. To him, you are the fresh
flower, because his heart has fresh flower.”SDP flushed.
It is well known, SDP during the Northern Song
Dynasty, is famous for literacy, poetry, his scintillation, his sa
qi (杀气). in the history of literature , he can be considered
an outstanding person who assumes sole responsibility for an
important task. But one who such stands out, also will
have embarrassment unavoidably. Ancient times Feng Menglong
“three word two rackets” means:
"势不可使尽，福不可享尽，便宜不可占尽，聪明不可用尽。”
power not to be excercise completely, luck not to be used
completely, not to take advantage of things completely,
and wisdom not to be depleted.
SDP is such an intelligent man, yet when one becomes
gloated, and falls down in front of his own intelligent, shamed
SDP awkwardness teaches us, even the world-famous giant
star, also has his own insufficiency, and has short comings.
Therefore, one must be humble/modest, and cannot be
conceited.
