Quote:在明朝,有个人叫罗洪先,他特别有才华,二十多岁就高中状元。(以前中状元极不容易,比现在考上清华、北大还难。)他为人正直,因看到官场黑暗腐败,感念人生之无常,于是辞官隐居,断然出家,世称“状元和尚”。

状元和尚在寺院出家后,假装愚钝,甘心承担最苦的杂役,劈柴挑水、烧火煮饭,无所不做,以此来磨练自己的心性。就这样过了十三年。
他出家前原有妻室,并有一子。十三年后,其子又高中状元,父子同科,世间稀有,一时传为佳话。此时妻儿很想念他,无奈他出家后音讯全无,根本无从寻起。

可能是亲人思念真切的缘故,有一天状元和尚忽然起了回家探亲的念头,于是返回家乡。及至状元府,刚站在门前,仆人以为是和尚化缘,便入室禀告夫人。夫人生性善良,让仆人施米一斗。状元和尚未接受,希望求见主人。仆人认为和尚贪心,又报夫人。夫人又让仆人出来施钱一贯。

状元和尚还是不收,即索纸笔,题诗一首:“斗米千钱我不收,十三年返故乡游。儿孙自有儿孙福,莫为儿孙做马牛。”(这个偈子很适合现在许多人,他们 一辈子为了儿孙操劳,自己也不学佛,天天耗费人身。其实,儿孙自有儿孙的福分,有福报的话,你根本不必为他担心;没福报的话,你操心也没有用。所以,不要 一生为儿孙当牛做马。)

仆人将诗稿入呈夫人。夫人见后惊讶万分,急速跑出门外,但和尚已经离去。夫人即刻派人四处寻找,再也不见其踪影。
后来,状元和尚投归福建龙裤禅师,朝禅暮净,终于大彻大悟。他感念世人之迷茫,遂作《醒世诗偈》,广为流传。记得其中一句是这样写的:“劝君早办修行路,一失人身万劫难。”可见,人身难得的教言,在汉传佛教中也特别重视。


明朝确实有这么一个人,请看 https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%BD%97%E...8C/3515698
