It is also a metaphor for the superficial short-term prosperity before the destruction of old things. From Songshi Puji's "Five Lantern Festival Yuan Dao Mo Zen Master". The original text is "all saints are dreams, and all living beings in Buddha add words." Here, they returned to the light and gave up. "
Luminescence is a common natural phenomenon. When the sun in the west is about to set, the sky will shine briefly because of the reflection of light at sunset, and then quickly enter the darkness.
In the past, there were no electric lights. People light incense oil lamps or kerosene lamps. When the oil in the lamp is about to burn out, they will suddenly light up and then go out. That's because the last drop of oil lost its adhesion or tension and rose very fast, so it suddenly lit up.
In the use of electric lamps, when the filament life is about to run out, the tungsten filament will burn and the electric lamp will suddenly light up, so the light bulb will be scrapped. These can all be seen as the phenomenon of light coming back.
People also die before they die. For example, patients who have been in a coma for a long time suddenly wake up and even have a short conversation with their loved ones; People who have no appetite, eat or drink will suddenly want to eat.
These relieved symptoms give people the illusion that the patient has turned the corner, but experienced people will know at a glance that this is a dead ray and a signal for the patient to say goodbye to his loved ones.
If all Zen virtues can come to their feet with one thought, they can uncover the truth. The future can be said to be a vast expanse of land, heavy pavilions, and vicissitudes of life.
Refers to the phenomenon that the sun shines briefly in the sky just after sunset due to the reflection of light. A metaphor for sudden excitement before death. It is also a metaphor for the superficial prosperity on the eve of the death of things.
