The ancient wood outside the Golden Buddha Temple is deep, a bluestone slab path in the forest winds through the secluded, climbs the steps and walks out of several hundred meters, it is a bluestone archway more than four meters high, and the book 'Jiaye Dojo'. Further inside is the Golden Buddha Temple.

It is said that the Golden Buddha Temple has more than 1500 years, was built in the first year of Liu Song Jingping in the Southern Dynasty, after the Tang Dynasty Gaozu Li Yuan had personally inscribed the title of "Zen Zhen Palace", the first year of Tang Dazhong Emperor Xuanzong gave the temple the amount of "Acacia Temple", the mountain has Acacia Rock, Acacia Bamboo, Acacia Bird. Song Zhenzong sent 240 volumes of Sanskrit scriptures read by Taizong here and enshrined them in the temple. In the fourth year of Song Jingde, Zhenzong gave the name "Chongsheng Temple". Emperor Chengzu of Ming Yongle five years edict "Golden Buddha Scenic View", Emperor Yingzong kicked the name of "Chongjiao Temple" again in the first year of Shun tomorrow, and Emperor Shenzong ordered to change it to Golden Buddha Temple in the 30th year of Wanli, and gave the title "Jiaye Dojo".

Sheng Tian saw that Hai Dongqing and Lu Shanmin ignored each other, and wanted to ease the tension between the two. As he walked, he said:

"There is a legend about the origin of the Golden Buddha Temple, which is said that when the Buddha was born, the place where the Golden Buddha Temple is currently located is the place where the Buddha attained enlightenment, that is, the Vajra throne of the Buddha of the Buddha. Later, when the Buddha retired, Buddha Shakyamuni took over and came to this world to transform us, and then Buddha Shakyamuni also went into extinction, and the Buddha thought, "What is going on with the current Dharma in the world of samsar?"

When the Buddha came to the Golden Buddha Mountain, he remembered that he had meditated here and realized the Tao, and he was very emotional. Suddenly, he found a man with a big pimple on his head plowing the ground there, so he hurried over and asked, "Who are you? Why are you plowing the ground here?" The man wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I am a god, called Zhenwu, and everyone calls me Emperor Zhenwu." I see that this place has good feng shui, and I want to build a house here to live and practice. ”

The Buddha said, "Xiao Zhenhe, it's not right for you to do this, this place is my territory, it was the place where I meditated back then, how can you come and build a house without permission?" When Emperor Zhenwu heard this, of course he was not convinced, "Why do you say that it is your territory? Why do you say that it is your place to meditate? How can you say that I am also a god, do you think I was deceived?"

The Buddha has a good temper, and his heart says that I don't fight with you, as if I have no identity, so let's call the emperor and Brahma and let them prove it. So, he called Shakti and Brahma over, and Shakti and Brahma said to Emperor Zhenwu, "Yes, this is the place where Buddha Kasa meditated and became a Buddha, and we all saw it with our own eyes, but you weren't born at that time, so you don't know." Emperor Zhenwu was still not convinced, and said, "That's not good, even if you really meditate here, you can't say that this land is yours, unless we bet, if you win me, I will give you this place!"

The Buddha said, "Okay, what bet are you going to make?" Emperor Zhenwu said, "Haven't you meditated here?" Let's meditate and see who sits for a long time, and if anyone can't sit still, move first, even if whoever loses, how about it?" So, the Buddha and the Emperor Zhenwu sat down cross-legged on the Lion Peak of the Golden Buddha Mountain, and the Great Brahma and the Emperor Shakti watched from the side as witnesses and began to make bets.

I don't know how long it took, anyway, the short-lived ones in this world have been reincarnated more than a dozen times, and the Buddha and the Zhenwu Emperor still didn't move. Later, the Buddha of the Buddha thought of a way and said to the Emperor Zhenwu: "Xiao Zhenhe, let's sit down like this, and we don't have a head, why don't we change the way of the competition?" Then he stood up, and with a whoosh, he jumped out of more than 100 miles, from the Lion Peak of Jinfo Mountain in the north of Chongqing to the Nanshan Mountain in the south of Chongqing. Due to excessive force, on the stone of Lion Peak, a big foot mark was also stepped on, which was more than half a meter long, and it is still clearly printed on the stone to this day.

Emperor Zhenwu stood on the top of the South Mountain, and said to the Buddha of the Buddha Then he dug a hole in Nanshan and lived, which is now the Zhenwu Pavilion in Nanshan, Chongqing.

At this time, Shakti and Brahma quickly knelt down for the Buddha and said, "O Buddha, you are so wise! We are willing to take refuge as your disciples, and serve you by your side! Please accept us mercifully!" The Buddha said, "Yes, get up, and then you can show me this place, and no one will take it again!" Then the Buddha went back.

Later, the emperor and Brahma announced this matter, and the Golden Buddha Mountain became the ashram of the Buddha Kasya. In the second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Golden Buddha Temple was officially given the "Jiaye Dojo", and the Emperor Mingshenzong gave the "Jiaye Dojo" four big characters, that is, the stone memorial arch we saw just now, the quality of the stone memorial arch is very good, and it is still standing majestically after hundreds of years. ”

Sheng Tian's explanation was witty and humorous, and Lu Shanmin listened to it with relish.

"In this way, this Buddha is a bit of a fool, and the Emperor Zhenwu is a little silly and cute."

Sheng Tian said with a smile: "Zhenwu is also cheating, and he still doesn't let go where someone else has proven to be someone else." He is not stupid and cute, but when he saw that the Buddha had two helpers, he didn't dare to continue to fight and find a step down."

Lu Shanmin pondered for a while, "It seems that gods and humans are similar."

Sheng Tian nodded, "Gods are also human."

Lu Shanmin smiled: "Then is it necessary for us to worship God?"

Sheng Tian smiled, "Since you have come to other people's territory, let's put on the pillar incense, maybe it can really bless us."

The three of them walked into the temple, a pillar of high incense for 300 yuan, Lu Shanmin was a little distressed, thinking that the Buddha was too tricky, and the cost of three pillars of high incense was at most dozens of yuan, and it had increased tenfold. But Hai Dongqing is a woman, Sheng Tian is an old man, and as the only young man, he had to spend nine hundred yuan to buy three pillars of high incense.

To tell the truth, when he first walked into the temple, Lu Shanmin was extremely pious, but because of the nine hundred yuan, he was pulled back to reality. He didn't believe in Buddhism, but he always respected the Buddha very much, because Buddhism always gives people the effect of emptying everything and purifying the mind. But because of these nine hundred dollars, the sacredness and ethereal in my heart were mottled. It's like entering a paradise, lingering in the depths of the green willow pink, and suddenly finding a piece of dog shit, which spoils the scenery.

After the incense is put on and enters the main hall, there is a couplet in front of the hall. Uplink: Pure Land Lotus, One Flower, One Buddha, One World; Downlink: Muni Bead Offering, Samadhi and Three Bodhi.

The ancient Buddha is located in the center and is about two meters high. A man and a woman standing on both sides, the male is the Emperor, representing the Dharma of the Desire Realm, and the female is Brahma, representing the Dharma of the Color Realm.

The three of them knelt on the futon and kowtowed three times, Lu Shanmin did not seek fame and fortune, nor did he seek wealth and peace. It's not that he doesn't have respect for the Buddha, but he just thinks that if everyone asks the Buddha to do things, then the Buddha is not too busy. Everyone seeks to be promoted and make a fortune, but who should the Buddha help? The Xue family begged the Buddha to help kill him, and he begged the Buddha to kill the Xue family, so who should the Buddha listen to.

Seeking Buddha is seeking oneself, and peace of mind is Western bliss.

After worshipping the Buddha, a monk stepped forward and signaled to put money into the merit box, although Lu Shanmin was distressed, thinking that the Buddha made him feel at ease for a moment after all, just like a psychiatrist to see a doctor, he also had to pay. Lu Shanmin took out a hundred yuan and threw it in.

I don't know if the monk saw that the three of them were dressed well, and they were still standing in front of Lu Shanmin, with their hands folded and their faces smiling.

Lu Shanmin knew that he was too little, so he took out another hundred yuan and threw it in.

The monk said, "Donor, you are three people."

Lu Shanmin had to endure the pain and take out another hundred yuan. The monk gave a salute and left satisfied.

Went to the temple to burn incense and ask for peace of mind, but with the 1,200 yuan spent, Lu Shanmin felt that his heart was not so stable. He admits that he is a layman, but the four empty Buddhas seem to be unavoidable. This made him a little disappointed, if there is no place to be pure, where is there a pure place. It's not that he can't afford to spend the 1,200 yuan, let alone 1,200, even if it's 12,000 or 120,000, he can take it out, but he doesn't want to take it out in this place.

There was an old monk at the door who pulled the three of them to tell fortunes, saying that the original price was 100 for one person, and today the discount is only 80 for one person. This time Lu Shanmin refused, not because he was afraid that he would say bad things and affect his mood, but he really felt that it was a little unacceptable to worship Buddha as a business. Hai Dongqing didn't care about fortune telling, but Sheng Tian didn't ask for a sign.

Lu Shanmin and Hai Dongqing stood in the distance, and they didn't know what Sheng Tian quietly asked for a sign with the monk who had unsigned, but he didn't look very good after getting the sign, and after communicating with the monk for a few words, he took two talismans and gave them to the two, saying that it was a peace talisman drawn by the master with mana, so that the two of them must bring it.

Of course, the master consumed mana and had to make up for it with money, which was another 500 yuan.

Hai Dongqing took it directly and put it in his pocket, Lu Shanmin naturally couldn't refuse Sheng Tian's kindness, and after taking the talisman, he took out 500 yuan with a sad face.

Walking out of the Golden Buddha Temple, Lu Shanmin breathed a sigh of relief, in just ten minutes, the Buddha earned him 1,700 yuan, he couldn't help but think nonsense, or go to occupy a mountain to open a temple, or go to Mazui Village to open several temples in the mountains, the villagers of Mazui Village can get rid of poverty and become rich.
