At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Zen master refused to kill the Yuan army alone, and even bowed. What kind of founder did he become?

Before he became a monk, his original surname was Xu, a native of Ningbo, Zhejiang. It turned out that he was a monk of Lin Jizong in the Song Dynasty. Later, he went to Japan and became the founder of Yuanjue Temple in Japan. He is a famous master without learning. It was also one of the five schools of Zen. At that time, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial court had done nothing, and the Yuan army was gradually approaching. At that time, before the master went to Japan, he stayed in Taizhou. Those Yuan troops approached Taizhou, so he had to go to Yandang Mountain in Wenzhou to take refuge.

Hiding in a place called Nengren Temple on that mountain. But he didn't expect the Southern Song army to be so useless that the Yuan army occupied Wenzhou in a few days. Then one day, many Yuan troops rushed into Nengren Temple. Other people in the temple have gone to other places. He was left alone, but he was not afraid. He just sat in the temple and waited for the Yuan Army to come in.

When they came in, they saw that he was the only one inside, so they took out a knife and put it around his neck and asked him what he was doing. He just opened his eyes lightly and looked at this group of fierce people. Then calmly wrote a poem, the main meaning is that for a slender person, he has long been afraid of these things, even if you give me a knife, I am not afraid of anything.

Then those fierce soldiers were too shocked to kill him when they heard this. They just bowed to him and left with their people. This incident tells us that although people should cherish their own lives, they should not bow to the enemy. We just need to put aside the fear of death. Naturally accept him, and such concentration will also affect the threat of the sword to us. So in this case, the other party gave up the harm to him.
