#SongsOfComfort: Yo-Yo Ma and Wu Tong "Rain Falling From Roof"
“Rain Falling from the Roof,” composed by and performed with my dear friend Wu Tong 吳彤. Here’s his story of the music. #songsofcomfort #songsofchange #SDG3 #SDG12 Silkroad
"There is a story from the the Northern Song Dynasty, where a novice monk asks a renowned Zen master about the meaning of Buddhism. The master points to the raindrops falling from the eaves of a roof. The novice monk, after being perplexed for a long time, suddenly experiences an epiphany.
It was during a rainstorm that I first read this story. At that time, the entirety of humankind was dealing with the trials of the coronavirus pandemic. Upon hearing the sound of the falling raindrops, I was reminded that people depend upon peaceful coexistence with each other and with Mother Nature to live in true harmony. No one exists in isolation.”
中国北宋(公元960-公元1127)时期有个禅僧通过雨落屋檐而开悟的故事。一雨日,禅僧请教归省禅师何谓佛法根本要义,归省禅师随即指向正从屋檐滴落的雨滴,困扰很久的禅僧忽然从中体悟到了答案。当即做偈道:“檐头水滴,分明沥沥;打破乾坤,当下心息。”(从屋檐上落下来的雨滴,淅淅沥沥的洒落在地上,这声音打破了时间与空间的表象,让我感受到一颗平等的无差别的心)
也是一个雨后,我读到这个故事,不同的是,我们这个世界正在共同经历着新冠肺炎的考验。我仿佛也听到了那样的雨声,提醒着我们,人与人、人与自然之间是相互关联的,没有谁可以孤立存在。
