Volume 1 Mountains and Rivers Chapter 20 Master Miaoyin of Nanhua Temple
Nine turns of the elixir that wins the wine?
After a hearty drink, Chen Nian and Dong Yunhu got a lot closer, and it was not until late at night that Liu Fengwen sent Chen Nian back to his residence.
Knowing that Luo Yucheng still has an old heart for his grandfather, he feels that the two old men are hopeful together, and the troubles of the Luo family have been removed, presumably the two will get back together, and there will be no hindrance.
When I got home, I fell asleep, and I didn't use my strength to drive away the drunkenness, and I felt comfortable when I was drunk, and I fell asleep like this.
A moment later, there was a sound of snoring.
On the outskirts of Kyoto, there is a temple on the top of Nanhua Mountain, called Nanhua Temple.
From the foot of Nanhua Mountain, there are 5,000 steps to the top of the mountain, every day, the people who climb on the ladder are endless, just to go to Nanhua Temple to listen to the fairy sound.
It is said that there is a master of Miao Yin in Nanhua Temple, who can solve the confusion in his heart and can guide the maze, and even the sound of him hitting the wooden fish will often have hundreds of people meditating and listening.
Because it is said that the sound of the wooden fish is a fairy sound, the soul can be sublimated after listening to it, and the heart can be peaceful.
At this time, some people are climbing the stairs, and some are resting on the stairs.
There is a young man with delicate facial features and tight skin, wearing a white sportswear and a peaked cap, who is also walking slowly on the stairs, at a very uniform speed, not in a hurry or impatient.
They had reached more than 3,000 steps, but there was no hint of fatigue on their faces.
A few meters behind him, there was a slightly older young man, but the young man was panting with his mouth wide open.
It is Chen Nian and Liu Fengwen.
Chen Nian's footsteps stopped for a moment, stopped and turned around and asked, "Xiao Liu, is it okay? Grandma Luo has really been in this Nanhua Temple all these years? The stairs are long enough." ”
Liu Fengwen saw that Chen Nian stopped, and hurriedly leaned on the white stone escalator by the stairs, panting and replied: "It's long enough, a full five thousand ladders, I'm afraid it's more than three thousand ladders in one breath, I asked yesterday, these years, Grandma Luo Yucheng has lived in this Nanhua Temple." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the long staircase hanging behind him, Liu Fengwen turned his head, gasped again and continued: "General Chen, this Nanhua Temple is very famous, it is rumored in the military department, and even the leader has come three times, as if it is for the Miaoyin master, it is said that the sound of his knocking on the wooden fish, even the geese flying in the sky will stop and listen to it! A large part of the people who believe in Buddhism in Kyoto are his followers. ”
When the geese hear the sound of the wooden fish, they will stop and listen? For the sake of Master Miao Yin, the leader has come three times?
Chen Nian looked up at the top of the mountain, where the morning sun was rising, like the light of the Buddha, and said with a smile: "Yes, then let's go and meet him later, listen to the sound of him knocking on the wooden fish, and see if we can make our souls sublimate and sublimate." ”
After resting for a while, Chen Nian and Liu Fengwen continued to march towards Nanhua Temple.
After the 5,000 stairs are completed, the top of the mountain is a flat land, and the ground is covered with white stone slabs.
On the white stone slab of thousands of square meters, there are temples on the left and right, six in a row, and in the middle is a three-story wooden hall, and the plaque hanging above the hall is the Nanhua Temple.
Liu Fengwen has the rank of lieutenant colonel, but he is only in the realm of strength, and these five thousand steps have a break for a few minutes halfway, which is indeed a bit difficult.
The altitude of the top of the mountain is about 2,000 meters higher, the air is thin, and as soon as I reach the top, I will be overwhelmed, with my hands on my knees, and I can't breathe.
Chen Nian, like no one else, looked around, and there was a strong smell of incense on the entire mountaintop.
In front of Nanhua Temple, there is a Ding furnace with a width of two meters and a length of five meters, and there are many kinds of incense in it, and the high incense is even two meters long, as thick as a fist.
The incense is indeed very strong.
Thinking that it was still early, when Liu Fengwen relieved himself, Chen Nian and him visited the Nanhua Temple first.
Stop and watch in various temples, the more interesting it is, the Great Wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva Dojo Wutai Mountain, the Daxing Fuxian Bodhisattva Dojo Emei Mountain, the Great Wish Dizang Bodhisattva Dojo Jiuhua Mountain, and the Great Pessimistic Guanyin Bodhisattva Dojo Putuo Mountain.
In Buddhism, these four Bodhisattvas are most respected, and they all have their own exclusive famous mountain dojos, and even the rest of the small mountains and small temples are also dedicated to these four Bodhisattvas.
And the temples on the left and right sides of Nanhua Mountain watched it, but all the offerings were all sentient beings.
What is the appearance of sentient beings, it is the image of the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, greed, hatred, ignorance, hatred, love, evil, desire, etc.
There is a record in Fuxi Palace, the realm of Buddhism is for sentient beings, arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas in order, and this Nanhua Temple is not for Bodhisattva Buddha, for sentient beings.
Chen Nian's face was full of smiles, thinking that this Miaoyin monk really seems to be a master! All living beings are suffering, only the meaning of self-crossing?
"Knock~~~~!knock~~~~~! knock~~~~~~!"
Just around, the crowd of people who offered incense to the statues of various gods and worshipped suddenly swarmed towards the main hall of Nanhua Temple.
"Let's let, let's let. ”
"Let's go, Master Miaoyin's practice time has begun. ”
"Be careful, don't step on people. ”
Liu Fengwen's face was full of curiosity, and he hurriedly looked at Chen Nian: "General Chen, it seems that Master Miaoyin's cultivation has begun, let's go and have a look?"
The temples on the left and right sides have been visited, and the main hall has not yet been visited, Chen Nian nodded, and went to the main hall of Nanhua Temple with Liu Fengwen.
The main hall of Nanhua Temple has three floors, only the first floor of the main hall can be used for people to visit the incense, there is an area of about 400 square meters, the middle of the main hall is the ceiling top that has been lifted seven or eight meters, there are beams and clogs on it, and there are murals of all beings.
In the middle of the main hall is a flying Buddha statue, built five or six meters high, it is Shakyamuni Buddha.
The statue of the Buddha holds a lotus platform in his left hand, indicating the rebirth of the lotus flower, leading sentient beings to rebirth in the west, with his right hand on his chest and palm facing outward, and applying the seal of fearlessness, representing the relief of the suffering of sentient beings.
Chen Nian and Liu Fengwen stepped into the first floor of the main hall, still stopping to watch, but the people next to them pulled their trouser legs one after another.
"Young man, go find a futon and sit down, and don't make a sound. ”
"Master Miao Yin is about to practice, sit down. ”
"Calm down and meditate cross-legged. ”
Liu Fengwen immediately went to find a futon and sat down, meditating cross-legged, his eyes closed.
Chen Nian glanced left and right, and the hall was neatly arranged, I am afraid that there are three or four hundred futons, and few are empty.
Seeing that there was still a space in the corner in the upper left, I went to sit down.
For a moment, the crowd that was still scrambling outside at first, swarming in.
They all seemed to have discussed with each other, sitting on the futon in tacit understanding, concentrating and calming, waiting for Master Miaoyin's practice.
"Boom~~~~~~~~~ boom~~~~~~~~~~!"
On the second floor, there is a sound of tapping wooden fish, which fills the ears and seems to hit the heart.
Then a group of monks spoke scriptures from the second floor to the main hall.
"There is no color in the air, no thoughts, no knowledge, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, and touch. ”
"There is no vision, even the unconscious, no ignorance, no ignorance, no old age, no old age, no old age. ”
"There is no suffering to gather and destroy the Tao, there is no wisdom and there is no gain, so there is no gain. ”
This is a "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", which sits on a futon for an aged period with his eyes closed and relaxes his mind.
After the sound of the wooden fish and the scriptures of the monks entered the ears, the world in front of him was pitch black, but gradually it seemed that a circle of Buddha's light and wisdom appeared.
Later, there is a statue of the Buddha, which appears in both eyes, infinitely magnified, dictates the scriptures, and holds a lotus platform.
It seems to purify the demonic obstacles in the heart, and the person will be clothed in the Buddha's door.
Chen Nian turned into a sword finger with one hand, stabilized his mind, and roamed around Zhou Tian with his strength, opening his eyes suddenly, breaking free from the illusion of the Buddha's holy image.
There were already some beads of sweat on his forehead.
As the inheritor of Fuxi Palace, if the practitioner is clothed by Buddhism, he is not allowed to re-study Buddhism?
Chen Nian shook his head, raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, he thought that Master Miaoyin was at most a Buddhist practitioner, but he didn't think that even his mind would be affected.
It is no wonder that there is a rumor in the military department that the leader of the half-step Heavenly Monarch has come to Nanhua Temple three times for the sake of Miaoyin.
Chen Nian looked around, everyone was smiling peacefully, and they were deeply immersed in it, even Liu Fengwen.
He looked up to the second floor again, and with his old eyesight, he could see farther and finer than ordinary people.
Three or four meters above the main hall, there are room corridors and stairs around it, and there is a protruding platform at the Buddha statue, and Chen Nian sits in the upper left corner just to see.
At the very front of the platform was a low platform, in the middle of which the wooden fish was placed.
Master Miao Yin turned out to be a woman?
Chen Nian took a closer look at the master of Miaoyin who was holding a small wooden mallet and was slowly tapping the wooden fish and making a sound.
I'm afraid that she is ninety years old, dressed in a red and yellow robe, thin and wrinkled, but she is kind and energetic, and she is an old lady no matter how you look at it.
When Chen Nian was watching, the kind eyes quietly opened, looking at Chen Nian, the two sides looked at each other, and Master Miaoyin's face was a little surprised.
I was surprised that this young man was able to stabilize his mind and look around.
And Chen Nian was a little surprised, the master of Miaoyin, who was knocking on the wooden fish with his eyes closed, suddenly looked at himself?
The return to the virtual realm recorded in Fuxi Palace, the spiritual consciousness becomes a thought, a thought can be seen by others, and the mind has a thought, and the eyes will be seen!
Is it a coincidence? Or does this master know I'm looking at her?
If the mind is sensitive and knows that I am looking at her, then this Nanhua Temple is not hiding an old lady who has returned to her state of mind?
