Section 3 The Mountain, the Temple. Flowers on the other side
That mountain, that temple, the other side of the flower
Before writing the article, I looked at the photos I took back yesterday, and I was excited again after verifying on Baidu that what I saw was the flower on the other side.
I'm excited because I'm finally seeing the beautiful flowers. And I still don't understand the real meaning of flowers, and I just found the language of flowers.
The Chinese flower language is: beautiful and pure.
The information also talks about the meaning of the flower in Buddhism, to the effect that it is the only flower related to reincarnation. It's just that there is no color seen in Fengde Temple in the information and pictures, and the petals are a mixture of peach and white.
I would venture to speculate here that the pink and white flowers are flowers that belong to the transitional people of earth and heaven. Isn't this just pointing out the family? If so, then opening in Fengde Temple is the most appropriate place. It seems that Fengde Temple is really an ordinary dojo!
Because I met the wonderful flower on the other side unexpectedly, I saw it in the courtyard of Fengde Temple.
Fengde Temple, this ancient temple is the only way for me to climb the mountain in Fengyu. It's just that I rarely go in, and I should have been there four times in four years, and I always looked at the courtyard and left.
This time, it was decided on the way to Fengde Temple.
The courtyard is always quiet, and today is just as a tourist. Walk directly to the front of the main hall, and the door of the main hall is always hung with a bamboo curtain. I opened the curtain and saw a table blocked in the doorway, with a merit box and some incense on the table, and a piece of paper in the incense plate read: Please consciously put down the incense money.
Unable to enter the main hall, I also 'consciously' put down the incense money (in the incense tray instead of the merit box. )。 Looking at this statue that is always a 'sad face', I still made my wish, and then flashed out of the curtain.
In fact, when I opened the curtain and saw the table with the door blocked, my heart changed.
It's just that when I put down the curtain and faced the yard, I didn't have any entanglements in my heart. At this time, a lady who lived in the temple led a person to the front of the temple, and she threw a futon on the side at the main door outside the curtain, looked at me and said, "You haven't bowed down yet?"
I said calmly: "I have passed, and the money is in the incense plate."
She quickly lifted the curtain and said, "Okay, that's good."
Yes, my heart is calm and good. I like the quiet atmosphere in the temple grounds. On the green brick road in the courtyard, grass grows between the gaps, casual and proud. I didn't see the clover full of purple flowers when I came last year, and it was replaced by another flower that I had never seen before.
This pink and white flower, the moment I saw it, I was excited: this is the flower on the other side!
The flowers on the other side of the green are so beautiful! The flowers bloom so extremely! The petals are full of crystal dewdrops, which let me see what is really delicate, and because of the dewdrops, the flowers on the other side show a clean and bright light.
What a surprise! There will be flowers in the temple? And it is the season of full bloom, and it is still covered with dewdrops! I am so lucky today, I am excited to take pictures of the flowers.
At this time, a master nun came to me, and she greeted me with a smile.
"Master, what kind of flower is this?"
"The green is wheat winter, and the safflower is lycoris. Lycoris blooms first, the flowers fall, and then the leaves grow......" she said with great interest.
When I heard her say that such a foreign flower has such a rustic name, I denied in my heart that she was not the only name of the flower. Although I have never seen it, I have only seen a similar appearance in the space of a netizen.
This can't be blamed on her, what they pursue is 'the more earthy the better', which is the so-called anti-purity. Hehe.
It's just that when I searched the Internet and found that another accurate name for the flower was 'Manju Sahua', and it was a flower related to Buddhism, I didn't understand her. She should have said that it was 'Manju Sahua'. When I go again, I will tell her, and if someone asks again, I will say that it is Manzhu Sahua! In this way, I will be unified with her identity as a monk, and it can better reflect the significance of the flowers blooming here.
The flower language of the Chinese flower is: beautiful and pure. It's so accurate. Today's other shore flowers are completely interpreted. What I see now is really real: the red of the flowers is as beautiful as a girl's blush, the white as bone is pure with human nature, and the crystal dew is composed of a girlish look. In my eyes, the other side flower is another combination of peach blossoms.
At this time, I also remembered that this kind of flower was planted in QQ Farm. So, take a look and see if there is. It is introduced like this: the red flower of the other side, it is said that it blooms for a thousand years, the flowers fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves never meet. In China, the manzhu sand flower represents festivity.
In my eyes, the other side flower is the meaning of the above.
Because you are so beautiful, you are entrusted by the world with all kinds of meanings that do not belong to you. But in my eyes, it is a wonderful flower, a flower that makes me happy.
The other side of the flower, because of you, this trip to Fengde Temple has a more wonderful meaning!
Say goodbye to the other side of the flower and start climbing the mountain. I was very excited from seeing the mountain today, because the mountain that had just rained was covered with clouds and mist, and it was so beautiful.
Now I am even happier when I come out of Fengde Temple. Happily marched to the chestnut forest of Huangyu Temple. The bigger motivation for coming here to climb the mountain these weeks is the hairy chestnuts there. Today was the same, I set off with two small mooncakes and a bottle of water in my bag. I didn't take any of the fruits, in order to save energy by traveling lightly.
I didn't see anyone along the way from the brick tower. When I walked to the iron fence of the Zen Temple of Joyeji Temple, I found that a place had been crushed by a fallen tree. I was shocked, worried that their group of dogs would come out? That's a Tibetan mastiff!
Fortunately, I only heard the dog barking, but I didn't see it. Mood was not affected much.
Watching the yellow leaves fall on the mountain road, the mood is also happy. The four seasons alternate and we walked together, and we did not miss the spring flowers and autumn fruits of Fengyu, and the flowers bloomed and the leaves fell. So, I smiled back: It's wonderful! It's nice to be on this mountain!
I thought a lot about it when I approached the land beam, and when I decided to eat mooncakes here today, I felt a little sad. At this moment, as if someone had called me, I suddenly looked up, and saw my 'palace' in the clouds, so clear and so small. When I took out my camera and narrowed the focus to leave this precious picture, I mistakenly pressed it into a camera because of excitement, and when I found it, I hurriedly looked up and saw that it was full of fog.
Oh, good. When I saw the palace in the clouds for a moment, my heart was full of happiness. So I put down the bag and happily ate a small moon cake, which is the only staple food today, and I didn't want to eat the other piece.
There are very few people on the beam today, and I saw a group of people from a distance, and I also saw a lot of cars parked next to the chestnut forest. I thought to myself, why did I drive to play today, this is the first time I've seen this scene. I wanted to pick up chestnuts as soon as possible, but the flowers and plants on the side of the road made me unable to move.
The grass on the side of the road is covered with dewdrops, which is very cute. This is the first time I have seen such a scene when I walk on the beam in all seasons. Because every time I come here, it is about one o'clock after noon, and it is rare to see dew at this time. Now looking at the crystal of the slope, I think of the word 'mercury in the ground', which is not accurate enough to think about. But I couldn't think of a more accurate word to describe it, so I had to take a few more photos and let them 'express' themselves.
When I arrived in the chestnut forest, I realized that it was all Koreans, all employees of Samsung.
When each of them saw me, they stopped their movements and smiled and said, "Hello, you came alone?"
It felt like I was a guest. And the appearance of Korean friends when they pick up hairy chestnuts makes me respectful. Each of them carried an iron hook, a plastic wire glove, and a large bag. Under the tree, many of them squatted around and began to carefully pluck among the fallen leaves. They picked up places, and all they left behind were worm-eyed.
We were all standing when we picked it up, and there would still be it wherever we picked it up, no matter how many groups of people came. And I only pick up the ones that just fell, clean!
A Korean friend told me that I found this chestnut forest three weeks ago. When we understand that the owner doesn't want it, we drive every week, and the Chinese don't come during the three-day holiday, so we have been picking it up here. I've picked up a lot, and I have more than 100 pounds.
They looked preoccupied, and they were completely in a state of returning to the warehouse.
And they said, "It is so good here, with such beautiful mountains and such good fruit."
Listening to them say this, I laughed when I remembered one thing: next May, there will be a big orchard over there. It's all apricots, and it doesn't have a master. I've picked a lot of apricots this year, and they're very sweet and large apricots (when I say it, the pronunciation of apricots is specifically in English. )。
As soon as the words fell, a scene we often see in Korean TV dramas appeared, almost all of them stood up, clapped their hands, stomped their feet, and shouted: It's apricots (they say it in Chinese)!
Haha, I've really seen it, when I watched Korean dramas in the past, I always thought that they exaggerated their expressions in their works, but it turns out that they are such real people.
Lovely Korean. Their Chinese is so good that when they came to work in China, they all passed the oral Chinese and written exams. Now standing among all Koreans, it is the first time that I feel that my Chinese is so bad, and their pronunciation is so beautiful.
I've picked up a lot, and it's time to go home with a full load. It's just that I just cared about labor and didn't look at the time. The first time I returned from Huangyu Temple at half past three. On Liang, I met a group of Koreans who were running happily, and they were coming from Wat Pho.
They were the only people I saw from the land beams down to the brick tower. Originally, I had been to this mountain too many times, and it was familiar like our big playground, except for the year before when a cat was scared once, I was never afraid. However, today I encountered something that I can't say if I want to say that I am not afraid.
At that time, I went down to the back of the Wat Pho farmhouse and found animal scratches on the side of the road, and my heart was a little hairy. Such scenes are often encountered in the high sea forest, and it is still rare here. When I went up to the platform again, I looked up and suddenly saw a black Tibetan mastiff scratching in the grass on the side!
Oh my God, I'm going to be bitten to death here? The recent Tibetan mastiff bite on TV quickly flashed to my mind.
It saw me too!
At that moment, I didn't stop, and I peeked at it with the brim of my hat in panic. It looked at me and retreated to the side in panic. I panicked and didn't dare to go fast, and used my peripheral vision to see if it pounced on me from behind. As I descended from the platform, I panicked and took a look backwards to see that it hadn't followed.
I quickened my pace and ran wildly, and at the same time decided not to go down from Fengde Temple, but to go from Jingye Temple, where there were many people.
Running all the way, all the way back, all I thought about was anger at the temple: The abbot of the Pure Industry Temple with the 'arm'!
You must lose your temper with Tianhui: Your Tibetan mastiff has run out of the fallen iron net, do you know that it is going to bite people to death?
Strange, at this time, it was like hearing a voice: The dogs in our temple will not bite you, don't they give way to you?
"If you don't bite me, you won't bite others? How can you say that? I was scared to death just now!" I shouted.
I was frightened all the way, I was angry all the way, and I don't know how long I ran to the fork in the road, but I didn't continue to run directly to the road of the Pure Industry Temple, but stopped. I looked at the time: four twenty. At this time, Master Sky is doing business in the main hall, and he will meet it. Looking back again, I felt a little far away from the Tibetan mastiff. So I decided not to leave the Pure Industry Temple!
When I passed through the iron fence of the monastery, I regretted it: If other dogs came out of here at this time, wouldn't I be 'looking for death'?
Don't dare to relax your vigilance in the slightest, and keep your eyes on the Zen Monastery to see if the dog is coming. At this moment, I didn't condemn them in my heart, and I just thought that those dogs should not come out. Fortunately, these dogs, who barked incessantly when passing by in the morning, may have eaten enough at this time, and did not even hear barking.
Finally arrived in front of the brick tower.
Once here, the fear of the Tibetan mastiff disappeared completely. A few climbers in front of the tower asked me how to get to Wat Pho, and I took the opportunity to drink some water. I was thinking of going down the mountain with my company, but they said they didn't want to go down so early.
They went to Wat Pho and I didn't tell them about the dogs because they were six people. They left, and I went down the mountain too.
Just after walking a few steps to the intersection in the direction of Xia Fengde Temple, I accidentally looked up and saw the red light shining on the top of Jianshan Mountain in the west! It was so beautiful! Because the sky was full of thick fog, only the sun rose on the top of Jianshan Mountain!
I can't miss such a beautiful view. So I pulled out my camera. At this moment, I heard a heavy panting sound from the direction of the Pure Industry Temple. I was afraid: Could it be that the dog came up?
I thought about it and kept patting. A man snorted and stood in front of the brick tower and looked at me with a smile.
I asked him while taking a photo: Are there any monks in the monastery?
He said, "It's a lot, and I'm doing something."
"Is that tall and skinny guy there?" I put my camera away and prepared to go down the mountain.
"You're talking about Master Sky, here. They went around in circles in the main hall, and he walked in fourth place. I come here a lot and I'm very impressed with him. The man said enthusiastically.
"How is he? is he alright?" I said, picking up my bag and heading down the mountain.
"Not good. ”
"What! why is it bad?" I asked him.
"It's very bad, it's thinner, and it's not in good shape, it's completely different from what I've seen in the past. The man looked serious and gestured with his hand to his face.
……
I think I must have scared him out of my state. He said, "What is your relationship?" Go and see him......
After a while, I said, "I have the same relationship with him as you do, the relationship between a tourist and a monk." ”
He said: I don't care what your relationship is, you can't let him go like this, just go and see him, let's go, let's go down the mountain together.
I thought about it and said, "No." I don't have a car today, so it's good to block the car from the Fengde Temple.
"You come with me, I have a car, and I can send you back wherever your home is. Don't be afraid of me, look at my Buddha statue, I'm a good person. Besides, I came with my wife, who was waiting for me at the temple. Let's go together, go down the mountain from the Pure Industry Temple, and you go and see him. I feel you care about him, so go check it out. Let's go, if you can't let go, go see him, he's really bad......" The man said sincerely, and came to me.
His repeated words, 'If you can't put it down, go and see', went straight to my heart.
I turned to him, and he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Come, I'll put you on my back."
This warm-hearted man carried my bag, he was in front and I was in the back. At this time, I realized that I couldn't go down the mountain at all, and my body was weak and didn't have any strength. I couldn't gather my strength in my heart, and I felt very cold, and I was still cold when I put on my coat.
He said, "Is there something wrong with your body?"
I said, "No, I've been like this since I heard you say he's bad."
He (Mr. Ji) said: I can see how much you can't let him go. Just now you heard me say that he was very bad, and his body shook and almost collapsed.
I said, "I only know that I care about him very much, but I didn't expect it to be so heavy."
……
When I saw the sky, I smiled......
Coming down from the sky tower, Mr. Ji nervously asked: Is he very bad?
I said, "That's what he is, all right." It may also be that when you first told me that he was very bad, I thought in my mind that he must have become a 'matchstick', so when I saw that he was not as bad as I thought, I felt good.
Mr. Ji also smiled......
Sometimes, I really don't know who I will meet and who is waiting for whom. If I hadn't met the dog from the beginning of the descent, then according to the speed of my descent in the past, I wouldn't have met Mr. Ji at all. If you don't stop to take pictures, you miss him.
Besides, if Mr. Ji wasn't so sincere, I wouldn't have gone with him.
What a kind Mr. Ji! I also sighed that all the people I met were good.
Of course, there is an interesting fact to be told.
It was like this, when Mr. Ji carried my bag and went to the monastery with me, her wife's face was very ugly. Mr. Ji said: You see I went up and brought someone down, didn't you think of it?
I said, "Thank you very much for your husband today, without his help, I wouldn't have been able to get down the mountain." I'll have to take your car in a moment.
She still said with a bad face: It's okay, he likes to do good deeds very much, and he is a person who helps others.
I was in a hurry, so I went to find the sky without explaining to her.
When I came out of the sky room and went down the mountain together. I also didn't notice when she was walking alone in the front and couldn't see it.
She sat at the gate of the mountain. Mr. Ji walked up to her and said: I am walking with the teacher, are you angry that you are walking so fast alone.
She said with an unnatural expression: No......
Hey, really. I didn't realize anything at the time. In hindsight, I laughed at it: my husband climbed to the top of the mountain alone, but when he came down, he came down with a bag and a person of the opposite sex, and he had to send the family home.
Mr. Ji's wife, Wu Tao, is a well-cultivated person. It's going to be unpleasant for anyone.
Special thanks to Mr. Ji, no matter what the future of me and the sky is in the future, today because he has brought me to the front of the sky again.
When the couple learned that I had made up my mind to never see the sky again, they were thrilled with what had happened today. Because the moment I heard my words, I saw that Mr. and Mrs. looked at each other, and he held Madame's hand tightly.
This is a kind and honest couple, bless them!
