Su Shi was bragging about his buddist accomplishments to his friend, Chan master Foyin
Bowing with my highest respect, to the deva of devas,
Whose fine light illuminates the whole universe.
The eight winds cannot move me, For I am sitting upright on the golden purple lotus blossom.




So Su Shi sent his poem across the river to his friend. to which master Foyin sent back a one word response.



放屁
"nonsense!?!?"




So Su Shi sailed the salty seas seething seeing the slandering statement of Su's song





The eight winds could not move you but a single fart sent you across the river
Su Shi was a philosopher, poet, and politician.
His artist name was Su Dongpo
His father was Su Xun
He had a brother named Su Zhe
He was born on January 8th, 1037 and died in 1101 at the age of 64.
He was taught under a Daoist priest until he was 10.
He was a Buddhist
At 19 he and his brother passed the highest level of civil service examination.
He wrote a poem attacking Wang Anshi's reform about them causing a monopoly on the salt industry.
He was later put into exile for his poetry because the emperor thought it was about him
I believe that people can learn from Su Shi's story by understanding that enlightenment is not something that is celebrated as to be praised for it. But should be shown through action.
