Chapter 126: Ananda
"This, each step is a story, and the steps spiraling up the whole mountain are a story?" The old monk Huijing simply felt incredible, although there are many stories of Buddhism, but it is still very difficult to cover the entire mountain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Only Si Fan smiled slightly, and there were a total of 10,000 steps, connecting all the places on the entire mountain. The main staircase is 5,301 steps, and if you want to climb the mountain, you have to climb these 5,301 steps, and as you can imagine, it is very difficult to climb the mountain here.
As for why it is 5301 steps, this is actually some connotation of Buddhism. The steps of Buddhism are generally 53 steps, and the number is odd, because of the theory of yin and yang, and the odd number is the yang number! If it is the steps of the yin number, isn't it going to hell?
Looking at this step, the old monk Hui silently saluted Si Fan and said, "Amitabha." ”
He didn't say much, and then continued to look at the whole design, this step circled the mountain, and finally connected to the temple gate on the mountain, but this temple is not like this, the end of this temple steps is in front of a waterfall, there is a position next to this waterfall, there is a small house that looks like an ancient building.
Hui Jing looked at the small house and asked suspiciously, "What is this house for?"
He pointed to the building, which looked rather peculiar in decoration, but whose overall shape had never been seen in Buddhist texts and systems.
Si Fan smiled awkwardly, he pointed to this place and said, this is actually not a Buddhist building, just an elevator, in order to facilitate tourists to go up the mountain directly. ”
One sentence made Hui Jing grasp the point.
"Tourists, that means there are pilgrims?" said Hui Jing.
Because the whole design has come here, it has begun not to show, but to display the entire elevator, and show all the places on the mountain, and there are so many steps on both sides of the side to the place is a tourist attraction, this attraction looks a little ancient.
One of the places is a stone bridge, this stone bridge is old, about a few hundred years old, it looks very old, and the name on the bridge is Ananda Bridge.
On the opposite side of the bridge, there is no place to lead, you can directly enter the mountain, and this side of the bridge is the temple, under the bridge is a small river, all the waterways on the mountain are very gentle, but here is the only turbulent place in the whole mountain, if you want to cross the river, you can only cross the bridge.
But in reality the bridge is useless, because the place where it leads is a forest.
"What kind of place is this?" asked Hui Jing, pointing to the mountain forest, which was pure old woods.
Si Fan pointed here and said, This place is called Ananda Bridge, don't you think this place is suitable for tourists to travel? On the other side, I am going to build a hotel with love-related accommodation, so that there can be a place to spend the night. There aren't many places to stay in the whole mountain.
Hui Jing was suddenly angry, of course I know the story of Ananda Bridge, but what I didn't expect was that you actually wanted to make money with this story.
Si Fan smiled slightly, this story is actually full of Zen.
It was a very tangled story, the story of Venerable Ananda, one of the ten disciples of the Buddha.
Ananda is Devadatta's younger brother and a cousin of the Buddha, and one of the ten disciples of the Buddha.
Ananda said to the Buddha, "I am in love with a woman."
The Buddha asked Ananda, "How much do you like this woman?"
Ananda said, "I would like to be incarnated as a stone bridge, and I will be blown by the wind for five hundred years, the sun for five hundred years, and the rain for five hundred years, and I just want her to pass over the bridge."
The Buddha said, "You can see how much you like it? But it is love at first sight and you fall in love for a lifetime?
You know all this, and you are still willing to suffer from creation only for that encounter. ”
"Ananda, how much do you like the woman who passed by the bridge, and made you abandon your life and suffer from love?"
"This, each step is a story, and the steps spiraling up the whole mountain are a story?" The old monk Huijing simply felt incredible, although there are many stories of Buddhism, but it is still very difficult to cover the entire mountain.
