华严宗原是中国佛教的一大宗派，自法藏开始，经过澄观、宗密等人，在唐朝一代颇为盛行。
但到了宋代，华严宗 Hua-yan School 便日渐衰微下来。
During Song Dynasty, Hua-yan school is on the decline.

子浚法师Zi-jun fashi 据说是宋代治学华严有成的唯一人物。
Zi-jun fashi as per history is the only one that has success during the Song dynasty from the study and research of Surangama Sutra.
最初，他依洪敏法师Hong-min fashi 学习《楞严经》Surangama Sutra，
但学到动静二相时，却无论如何都弄不明白。
At first, he study under Hong-min fashi on Surangama Sutra, but when at the point of mobile & stationary, no matter how, he can't understand.
他想，按照佛教的道理，事物本来是清净不动的，可是怎麽会突然生出山河大地、世间万物来呢？
He thought: as per Buddhism's reasoning, matters & objects are originally pure and immobile, but why suddenly give birth to mountain, river and great earth, all materials in this world?
他苦思冥想，不得其解，便去拜访慧觉禅师。
He kept thinking hard and still can't understand, so he went to pay visit to ZM hui-jue.

慧觉是当时有名的禅师，名动当世，住琅琊山传教。
Hui-jue is a renown zen master of that time, and stay at Lang-ya mountain to propagate teachings.
子浚来到琅琊，正值慧觉登堂讲学，便迫不及待地问道∶
Zi-jun arrived at Lang-ya, just when Hui-jue ascend to the lesson hall to lecture, he couldn't wait and asked straight away:
「禅师，我有个问题想问。世界本来是清净的，怎麽会突然动起来，生出山河大地来呢？」
Zen master, I have a question that I would like to ask.
Zen master, I have a question that I would like to ask.
Everything in the world is originally pure and clean, why suddenly start to move, giving birth to mountain, river, great earth?
慧觉禅师大喝一声道∶「清净本然，你怎麽忽然生出山河大地来了！」
ZM Hui-jue shouted loudly: Naturally pure and clean. How you can suddenly give birth to mountain river great earth!
子浚一惊，不禁汗流满面，豁然大悟。
Zi-jun got shocked, can't stop perspiration over his whole face, suddenly reach great realisation.
Zi-jun got shocked, can't stop perspiration over his whole face, suddenly reach great realisation.
慧觉禅师对他说∶「华严一宗不振已经很久了，你要励志扶持，以报佛恩。」
ZM Hui-jue said to him: Hua-yan school has long been down, you have to stay firm to support it, in order to repay Buddha's grace.
子浚领其教诲，告辞後去长水地方居住，著书立说，宣讲佛法，门下弟子几近千人。
他一生弘扬华严宗教，终使华严宗又兴盛起来。
後人常将他与华严名僧圭峰宗密并称为「圭峰长水」。
Zi-jun got the teaching and carried out propagating teachings and strengthening Hua-yan school and made it flourish again.
In later years, people combine him with Hua-yan famous monk Gui-feng school secret and titled as [Gui-feng Long water].

ZM Hui-jue is a female and got enlightened when she was 15 years old.
Dear all,
Recall GM Lu's words about why most of our Buddha Nature is "deeply buried"?
The layers of grime that YOU deposited through the years from Innocent infant to now, buried your Buddha nature deeply!
What are these layers of grime?
Similar to giving birth to mountain river and great earth!
Ask yourself: What have I been accumulating all these years?
If you need lots of sentient material to pass each day, then it is time to start to reflect, prioritise and chuck out little by little till you are Pure & Clean again!
Hahaha!
If you have been heeding my advice and sharing, and not abusing me verbally or in written form online, You should be well on your way to Pure & Clean by now!
Cheers all
