After entering the mountain gate, Su Er lowered his voice and continued to introduce, "There are Vajra Lux on the left and right in this mountain gate, and it is also said that it is the second general of Humm, but one of them opens his mouth angrily, and the other closes his lips angrily, to deter demons and monsters. ”

Let's look left and right, because the statue is huge, looking down in a downward shape, it is indeed very oppressive, not to mention demons and monsters, even if some people with bad minds stand here, they have to let them look weak.

After walking in, I felt that it was suddenly enlightened, this is a small courtyard, there are verandahs on the left and right, and in the middle stands a large incense burner, with the incense burner as the center, the dot cross is divided into four small pieces, each is a small lotus pond, and a stone railing is built higher than the knee. When we got closer, we saw lotus leaves poking out of the water, but there were no lotus flowers yet, so we had to spend the last month.

A small group of koi fish swimming, I saw a small turtle lying on a stone in the middle, strange is that the top is also full of coins, it seems that the pilgrim is a wishing fountain, I touched the body, there are no coins, Su Er saw my thoughts, pulled a handful and said: "Don't make trouble for others, don't look at the sign hanging here: making a wish still requires your own efforts, money can not be channeled, please do not throw coins in the lotus pond." ”

I was a little embarrassed, I didn't plan to make a wish, just to join in the fun, at this time quickly follow her forward, she motioned for us to look to the right, "the east side is the bell tower, the west side is the drum tower, the temple in the morning first ringing the bell, with the drum corresponding, in the evening, the drum first, with the bell corresponding." This is called the morning bell and dusk drum. ”

I saw that there was a small hall under the bell tower, which was dedicated to the Jizo King Bodhisattva, "Hey, I have to go in and worship it." ”

Su Er looked at me suspiciously: "I remember that you have always believed in Taoism, how did you see the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth so affectionate." ”

"No, Jizo King Bodhisattva, isn't there a Truth Hearing under his old man's seat, and I heard that the Truth Hearing is also a tengu. ”

Su Er hurriedly grabbed me, "Is the tengu a dog?"

"No, it's not. ”

Legend has it that it was a white dog before, and it is said that it is a cluster of beasts in one, gathering the grace of all things into one, with a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion's tail, and a unicorn foot. Commonly known as 9, it's definitely not your relatives. ”

"Ahh So, that's... Then I'll go in and say hello. ”

Su Er didn't stop me this time, I entered the Buddha hall, took a closer look, it really didn't look like it, and came out silently saying hello. Su Er looked at me with a smile and said, "After talking about the old days, since the bell tower is dedicated to the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, the drum tower must be dedicated to Guan Yunchang." ”

"What? What are they still offering to Guan Erye? Isn't that the four handsomes of Taoism's Dharma Protector?"

"Some temples also offer offerings, but only for the sake of worship, and there are no prayers, praises, and rituals. ”

As she spoke, she led us to the drum tower, and sure enough, there was also a small Buddha hall, which was Guan Erye, who was sitting and stroking his hair and watching the Spring and Autumn Period.

After seeing the bell and drum tower, there is another Buddha hall in front of it, Su Er said: "This is the Heavenly King Palace, and the four on the left and right are the four heavenly kings, but it's not the four brothers of the Demon Rite Green Demon Rite, it's a family interpretation." The four heavenly kings of Buddhism are the Heavenly King of the Eastern Holding State, the Southern Growth Heavenly King, the Western Wide-eyed Heavenly King, and the Northern Duowen Heavenly King. ”

But here we are all looking at a seated Buddha in the middle of the Heavenly King Hall, which I am familiar with, Maitreya Buddha. Su Er said: "Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha of the three Buddhas, the current Buddha is Shakyamuni Buddha, and the past Buddha is the ancient Buddha who burns the lamp. Because Maitreya Buddha is always kind and kind with a smile on his face, and at the same time he has an open-minded and generous appearance, he is arranged to be a guest here. ”

I looked at the gold-lacquered couplets on both sides and read softly, "A big belly can tolerate the intolerable things in the world; Sure enough, open-minded. ”

Su Er smiled: "It is precisely so that people who step into the temple can have a good mood as soon as they enter the door, can let go of worldly obsessions, and meditate on the peace of Buddhism." ”

We smiled and nodded, bypassing Maitreya Buddha, Su Er said: "Behind Maitreya Buddha is Veda Bodhisattva, he is the protector of the Buddha and the protector of the Dharma. Therefore, in the temple, he is behind the Maitreya Buddha, facing the Mahavira Treasure Hall, subduing demons and subduing demons to protect the Dharma, standing with his feet flat and ten fingers together to form a standing statue, and holding a pestle to subdue demons. ”

I looked at this Buddha guard, it was indeed mighty, but the posture of the demon pestle was a little strange, he put his palms together, and the demon pestle was placed horizontally on his elbows, but it reminded me that the Shaolin stick monk also has such a posture?

Su Er said: "The position of the demon pestle is actually exquisite, and there is a saying in the aftermath of the casting tripod, if the Veda Bodhisattva is like this now, then this temple is the reception temple, and all the people who travel to the temple will be offered." And if it is based on the pestle, it is not, so you can see it at a glance. ”

"So this is a big temple that can be received?"

"Exactly. ”

We look forward again, this is still a small courtyard, but it is very empty, only in the middle of a huge incense burner, at this time is full of cigarette smoke, and the majestic hall in front of the book of the four words of the Great Male Treasure Hall, there are bursts of chanting inside, and the sound of the wooden fish knocking.

Su Er whispered: "At this time, I'm afraid that the masters in the temple are doing evening classes, so it's inconvenient for us to disturb, if you are interested, just take a look outside the hall, I'll go to the guest hall over there to find Liao Yuan, and see if you can arrange accommodation for us." ”

We just took a look outside the hall, the huge Buddha statue in the Daxiong Hall looked down on all beings, and the masters all knelt on the futon and closed their eyes to chant sutras.

Seeing that Su Er was discussing with a master, he said when he saw us coming: "The four of us are from other places, and a friend at home is seriously ill in bed, but fortunately, the doctor is rejuvenating and recuperating, so we want to pray for it, but it is too late, I don't know if the master can make it convenient, let us spend the night in your temple." ”

The master recited the Buddha's name, looked at us, and said, "Since you sincerely pray for blessings, your sincerity will surely move the Buddha, and I wish you good health as soon as possible." ”

Su Er clasped his hands together and saluted, and we hurriedly followed, and the master said, "It is naturally convenient to stay overnight, but you still need to register with me." ”

He led us to a table, and I was immediately shocked, because there was a computer on the table, and I was really uncomfortable with such a high-tech thing appearing in a simple and solemn temple. He asked us to take out our ID cards, then swiped them on the sensor, and after registering, took out two sets of keys and handed them to us.

"The squatter rooms in our temple are limited, so you will share a room in pairs, and remember that there is no room between men and women. ”

We understood, and he pointed out to us where the dormitory and the dining hall were, and then gave a salute and went to the Mahavira Hall for evening service. I took the key in my hand and whispered to Su Er, "Let's... Don't you have to pay for the room?"

Su Er also whispered: "The big temple is general... It seems that there is really no room fee, and it is estimated that the registration is also at the request of the competent department. Well, in this way, when we go to worship the Buddha in a while, give some incense money. ”

Because Fang Cai Liaoyuan said that the dining hall has been opened, so we can go to eat first, Su Er said that after the evening class is over, the masters should have dinner, let's not squeeze with others at that time, so we went to the dining hall first. It's a bit like a buffet, but after eating, you have to clean the dishes yourself, and then put them in a unified place, and it is estimated that the chefs will have to wash them again, but it also saves a lot of trouble.

After the meal, it was just in time for the end of the evening class, we went out of the dining hall and went to the medicine hall next door, which is dedicated to the medicine master of the oriental pure glazed world, also known as the medicine Buddha who eliminates disasters and prolongs life, and the left and right are the Bodhisattva of the sun and the Bodhisattva of the moonlight, Min Ziqin respectfully bowed and worshipped.

Wear to the opposite side is the Guanyin Temple, worship is naturally Guanyin Bodhisattva, the plaque is written Cihang Pudu, and under the seat of the Master is the good wealth boy and the dragon girl. I found that the wall on one side was covered with small red brocades, and Su Er whispered: "When I came, I heard from the driver's eldest brother that he once worshipped Tuas as his mother-in-law, which is a tradition, and I heard that they will put the child's birthday in the brocade bag and enshrine it in the Tuas Palace, which can be regarded as famous." ”

Speaking of which, there are really a lot of righteous sons and daughters of Tuas, but think about the Journey to the West that the good money boy is a red child, and the Tuas still has a set of management of bear children, no wonder he said that when he was a child, he let Bai Dashi be his godmother, and people can live it.

At this time, only a few masters in the Daxiong Treasure Hall were still cleaning up, Su Er took the incense and lit it, stretched out his hand and gently shook it, and then distributed it to us, kneeling in front of the Buddha's seat together, Su Er whispered: "May Brother Yin Qin recover as soon as possible and survive this catastrophe." ”

When I delivered the incense to the huge incense burner outside the temple, I took 500 yuan from my pocket, found the merit box and stuffed it in, so that one of the masters who came out could see it. I was a little embarrassed and hurriedly saluted him. The master smiled and said, "Good, can the donor be named?"

I didn't understand, he smiled and took a notebook on the side of the merit box, and then I saw that there were many names written densely on it, as well as the place of origin. It turned out to be this meaning, I hurriedly folded my hands and saluted: "Borrowing the treasure land tonight, it's already very disturbing, just rejoice, no need to be named." ”

The master is another salute, and his mouth is good.

On one side of this Daxiong Hall is the Luohan Hall, and I pulled Su Er and said, "The driver's eldest brother said, you can find the Fuyuan Arhat when you go to the Luohan Hall, let's go and take a look." ”

"Okay, then when you go in, you will go your own way, and then you will come out. ”

Xi Fan and Min Ziqin were also quite interested, and we entered the Luohan Hall in turn, because I remember that the eldest brother said not to go to see the Luohan first, and we would be done when we left. As I walked, I wondered when it would be right to look up. What do you mean to stop when you want to stop, there must be a process when you think about it, right, when you finish thinking about it, I'm afraid that you will go out a few steps from the idea of stopping, so you have to go back, right?

There is no mistake
