Jinfeng Temple is a Buddhist temple, the largest and oldest Buddhist temple within a radius of several hundred miles.

The overall style of the Buddhist temple is the style of the Buddhist temple in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The whole Jinfeng Temple is a very large-scale building complex, and the main body of the building complex is a courtyard. Among them, a series of buildings such as the mountain gate, the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Dharma Hall, and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion are located on the central axis of the temple.

On the east and west compartments, there are secondary buildings such as the Qi Lan Palace, the Patriarch Palace, the Guanyin Palace, the Medicine Master Palace, the Arhat Palace, and the Dharma Protector Palace.

In addition, there are some courtyards, flower rooms and guest rooms in the temple that combine the Chinese secular culture, as well as rockeries, pavilions, water pavilions and other landscapes.

However, due to historical reasons and the poor management and maintenance of this temple, most of these landscapes are overgrown with weeds and have long since lost their former beauty.

"Li Mo, why do you keep thinking about coming to this temple?"

Lin Jianfeng was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Li Mo, a vigorous middle school student, should not be interested in such an old object as a temple.

But he remembered that when he ran up in the morning a few times ago, Li Mo would also come to the temple gate from time to time to take a look.

Li Mo smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "Don't you want to come over and ask how to help Teacher Lin ask for marriage, I read the book that the average master is very good to the apprentice." I'm thinking about when you're going to find me a teacher, and by the way, I'll have a little sister. ”

"Hey, it's coming, it's coming!" Lin Jianfeng smiled with a blushing face.

Li Mo was surprised: "It can't be our Teacher Yu Man, right?"

Li Mo didn't expect Lin Jianfeng's speed to be quite fast.

After casually echoing a few words with Lin Jianfeng, Li Mo tried to buckle the copper ring on the door of the temple.

The few times he came here in the past, because the temple was always closed, he just looked at the temple from the outside.

Thinking that there is still more time today, I just knocked on the door to see if I could go in and visit.

In fact, what Li Mo just said to Lin Jianfeng was not the truth, he lied.

He was indeed curious about this temple, and when he first saw it, he felt as if it had some connection with him in the dark.

As if it was fate, it was indescribable.

The brass ring strikes on the copper sheet with a crisp sound.

It didn't take long for the temple door to be opened from the inside.

The door was opened by an old nun in a gray monk's robe, and at a cursory glance, he was almost past the age of a sixtieth birthday or an ancient rarity.

The old nun is very old, his face is full of wrinkles, and his back is also very hunched.

She stood alone in the temple gate, like a poor old horse.

The old nun held the rosary, a pair of shriveled hands dexterously playing with the round black beads.

"Amitabha, dare to invite this benefactor to come to the door early in the morning, why did you come?"

The corners of Lin Jianfeng's mouth twitched, he spoke so eloquently, was his feelings acting?

Li Mo smiled at Lao Ni, "Grandma, can I go in and have a look?"

The old nun obviously didn't expect Li Mo to call himself like this, and the old man, who was used to seeing the passage of time, was also slightly stunned at this moment, and then smiled kindly: "The little donor entered the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha? ”

"Why?" Although Li Mo didn't want to go in to worship the Bodhisattva, the old nun's words still made him wonder, the door of the Buddhist Temple is often open, how can there be a reason to drive the pilgrims out of the way?

Without the sesame oil money, how can this huge temple be maintained?

The old nun still had a loving expression, "The yamen sent a messenger to level this temple. ”

"What?" Li Mo called out in shock.

Lin Jianfeng secretly held back a smile, what age is it, and some people still use the term yamen. I'm afraid this old nun has never been down the mountain.

What made Lin Jianfeng even more puzzled was that Lao Ni said that the government asked people to demolish the temple, but the expression on his face was as calm as water, as if it was not her temple that was demolished.

"Mrs. Shi, why is the government demolishing your temple, and you can still laugh?"

Lin Jianfeng held back for a long time, but couldn't help but ask.

Lao Ni smiled: "The old body laughs at the fact that this little donor is young and has Buddha nature, as for the demolition of this temple, it is demolished, her beams and pillars come from the mountains and forests, and the bluestone is under the soil. ”

Lin Jianfeng was dumbfounded, and hurriedly bowed his head deeply to the old nun. He felt that he had met a real master, and this was the real Buddhist sage.

Li Mo didn't care much about whether the temple was demolished or not, he just wanted to go in and take a look now to see what was affecting him inside.

The appearance of the emotional ball made Li Mo particularly concerned about this kind of thing.

"Grandma, can I go in and have a look? I just want to go in and have a casual look, without burning incense, not worshipping Buddha, not praying to God. ”

Before Lao Ni could respond, Lin Jianfeng scolded with a dark face: "Li Mo, don't scream, call Mrs. Shi." ”

Li Mo pursed his lips and said, "It's just a title, why are you so entangled?"

The old nun smiled again when he heard this, "What the little donor said is very true, the Buddha told Su Bodhi, all appearances are false. The name is originally a title, so why bother. ”

After Lao Ni finished speaking, he bowed to Lin Jianfeng, "The donor is in good shape!"

The corners of Lin Jianfeng's mouth twitched, and he thought: "Let's look at the picture, anyway, you don't understand anything." ”

"If the little donor is just exploring the mountains and rivers, looking for seclusion and visiting the ancients, then please take care of yourself. ”

"Thank you, grandma!" Li Mo smiled at the old nun and stepped into the temple. Seeing that Lin Jianfeng was still stunned, he called: "Teacher Lin, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Lin Jianfeng waved his hand, "I won't go in." ”

He has no relationship with the Buddha, so let him be buried in the red dust, it is best to give him a vigorous love, and stage a lingering You are the wind and I am the sand.

Li Mo didn't know what Lin Jianfeng was saying, if he knew what to say, he would definitely complain silently, yes, you are indeed sand, and you are also sand in the Maldives, but it was made into a castle and turned into a sand sculpture by children playing with sand.

"Teacher, why don't you really go in and have a look? This temple is being demolished, and if you don't go to see it this time, you may not have a chance in the future. Maybe the Bodhisattva was the most effective before the temple was demolished, so if you go and pray now, maybe what you have in mind will come true. ”

Lin Jianfeng's eyes lit up when he heard this, but there was still an impatient look on his face, "Okay, okay, since you want the teacher to accompany you in, the teacher will accompany you to take a look." ”

Lao Ni smiled slightly, and said to Li Mo: "Little donor, the old man is willing to be a guide, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Really? Thank you, grandma. ”

"No need to be polite, come with me. ”

When you enter the temple, you will be greeted by a temple of the Heavenly King.

The palace of the heavenly king, also known as the Maitreya hall, is the first hall in the Buddhist temple, the statue of Maitreya is enshrined in the middle of the hall, the statue of the four heavenly kings is enshrined on the left and right, and the statue of Wei Daotian is enshrined on the back, so it is named.

This was followed by buildings such as the Daxiong Hall and the Dharma Hall. And the whole temple is full of desolation and desolation. Various tools are scattered throughout the temple, and facilities such as scaffolding are erected.

Lin Jianfeng, a person who doesn't believe in Buddhism much, sighed when he saw this, "Why should such a good place be demolished?"

Lao Ni smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. Confucianism talks about replacement, Taoism talks about growth and decline, and Buddhism talks about the three laws. The cycle of life and death is invisible. ”

Lin Jianfeng naturally didn't understand Lao Ni's words, so he subconsciously looked at Li Mo.

The corners of Li Mo's mouth twitched, "Teacher Lin, I'm not a great monk, what do you think I'm doing?"

Lin Jianfeng glared at Li Mo, "I'm a physical education teacher." And how can you speak? How can you say such vulgar words as a great monk in front of the teacher?"

Li Mo smiled and teased: "Teacher, you are in love!"

Lin Jianfeng was angry when he heard this, but Lao Ni nodded approvingly, "The little donor really has Huigen." ”

The three of them continued to enjoy the scenery, Lin Jianfeng was probably angry, and he didn't speak all the way, Li Mo smiled helplessly: "Teacher Lin, don't be angry." Shall I explain to you the head office?

Grandma said that Confucianism talks about replacement, because Confucianism pays attention to the order of the world, and the Son of Heaven takes the common people as his own responsibility, which is the right order.

Taoism talks about growth and decline because the Tao is natural, there are four seasons in the year, the grass grows and withers, and the cycle goes back and forth, which is the way of nature;

Buddhism's emphasis on the three dharmas refers to the three eras of the world-honored one's teachings: responding to the dharma, robbing the dharma, and ending the dharma. In fact, it is also talking about the rise and fall of Buddhism.

And grandma means that everything has its ups and downs, and there are ups and downs. You don't have to take it to heart, teacher. ”

Lin Jianfeng swallowed his saliva, looked at Li Mo like a monster, and thought to himself, you, a middle school student, why do you want to know so much about Buddhism?
