Section 1 This is how my Spring Festival was celebrated
Walking and playing for the Spring Festival, today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and the taste of the New Year has also faded a lot. I don't run out anymore because the highway is going to be tolled, haha. I also have time to reflect on the process of the past few days.
The Chinese New Year's Eve welcomes the New Year
The celebration of the Spring Festival should begin on the evening of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
After making all the calls that should be made in the afternoon, the netizens who were going to pay New Year's greetings also sent their favorite videos. I just sighed that the most solemn festival passed down by our ancestors has completely changed in our generation. Originally, they had only exchanged New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year since ancient times, but now it has completely become the beginning of the Chinese New Year's Eve. But if you look closely, none of the thirty prostrations are relatives. Fortunately, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is still the same time as the Chinese people in the world.
My family also had the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner earlier than usual, and then I was looking forward to the start of the "Spring Festival Gala". As a result, "Spring Festival Gala" made my expectations more or less boring and fun. For the first time, most of the time was watching CCTV 2 sets of "Dream Star", and I also got on QQ in the middle, and happily joined the netizen Curie Cat's complaint about the "Spring Festival Gala". Later, I found that more friends were online, so I chatted more happily than watching "Spring Festival Gala". There was also a joke in the middle. It was when I was chatting that I greeted my good friends in Nanjing. He said gentlemanly in a private chat: The rules of the south are not allowed to pay New Year's greetings now.
Haha, I smiled heartily when I read his words. Because, in our hometown, we can't greet each other from 30 pm to midnight.
In the atmosphere that can't be excited, it's time to set off firecrackers, and join in watching the fireworks show downstairs in the same mood as in previous years, but this year there are very few people who set off firecrackers and fireworks. This year, the students and Mohan were not at home, so my family saved the link of decorating the night sky and only put environmental protection cannons. After hastily watching the last fireworks, the celebration program of the Chinese New Year's Eve ended.
On the first day of the new year, Xingshan Temple burns incense
I woke up at eight o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year and remembered that I was going to Xingzenji Temple today. My tradition of being religious on the first day of the year has to continue. Thinking of last year's day, I went to the watershed Guanghu Street because I couldn't stand the haze, and then went to the Phoenix Ancient Town, where water was squeezed, and ran all day. The reason why I decided not to go to Xingshan Temple in the morning can still be remembered: I went to the church in New York on the first day of the new year this year, and I didn't go to the temple on the first day of the lunar calendar. You don't step on two boats, haha.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xingshan Temple is still full of incense. There were so many people one after another, and everywhere there were pious people holding aloft incense, and the most fearful thing about walking through them was burning their clothes. I continued to repeat the procedure over the years, lighting a large incense stick in front of each hall and putting a small amount of incense money on it, and I was satisfied. It felt like writing an annual plan and implementing it well.
The only difference this year was that I went to the Bodhi Bookstore on the side of the monastery and bought two sutra books. This time I bought it completely voluntarily. I originally planned to buy the Tripitaka and read it slowly. As a result, after entering the bookstore, I was not familiar with the business, I couldn't communicate with the clerk, and I didn't see the Tripitaka, and more books in the store were annotated copies. I've always refused to read books that other people explain, especially philosophy. After turning around, there are two books in ancient style after opening, although I have a natural resistance to traditional characters, but only these two books have not been annotated by modern people, and I have to challenge myself.
When I bought it, I thought that those who have read the scriptures from ancient times to the present day seem to be literate and can understand them. Then I don't believe I can't read it. Sure enough, while waiting for my companion, I opened one of them. Hey, it's absolute, even guess, read it fluently. It made me laugh at myself. Then I remembered the king's words: Why can't you understand? You are looking for a reason that you don't want to read the scriptures. What I have told you is in the scriptures, and you will understand it all after reading it yourself.....
It's amazing to think about it now. When he forced me, I just couldn't understand it, and I had a headache when I saw it. Now, he went from hope to despair, and I was able to watch it voluntarily.
It was also this scripture that I read while standing on the side of the street, which confirmed my conjecture and the incorrectness of his interpretation. At that time, I asked the king, "What does Amitabha Buddha mean?" Does it mean 'hello' or 'goodbye'. Because when we meet the monks in the monastery and say goodbye to the monks, they say the same thing.
"That's not what it means. It means 'immeasurable light'. The king said.
"No, I don't know what that means, but that's definitely not what you mean. "I say for sure.
"If I'm not right, who else is right!"
Today's sutra is clearly written: Amitabha Buddha is a Buddha whose Dharma name is Amitabha. This Buddha represents 'immeasurable light'.
In my opinion, the term 'infinite light' is more appropriate. This is to bless the hearer with the 'infinite light'. I just don't understand what it means to say when a monk meets like this. In addition, it seems that the king is really as his master said, and his language expression still needs to be improved. As a teacher, you must have no loopholes and flaws in your words.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Zhaojin
I went to the temple on the first day of junior high school, and I went to Zhaojin on the second day of junior high school. It's called keeping up with the times.
It's just that this red journey is not easy. At 9 o'clock in the morning, it snowed lightly when I left the city, and when I arrived in Tongchuan, it was moderate snow, and the land was white. Originally, the snow is now a good year, a good sign. But we couldn't be happier, the visibility was so poor, and we went wrong from the highway today. After getting off the highway in Yaoxian, the car and my mobile phone navigation are not the same line, so I have to choose the best of the wrong and continue to go wrong.
The road conditions from the big turntable in Yaoxian to the west are very poor, and the wind and snow at this time are combined, all the vehicles are on the lights, and this is how the car is seen when it comes to the front, which is extremely dangerous, and there are two times when I almost hit it. Finally, at two o'clock in the afternoon, we also stood on Zhaojin Square, remembering the TV picture from a week ago, and the mood was still a little excited at this time. At this time, the sky was also clear, and the surrounding mountains were full of clouds. However, the temperature here is so low that it is unexpectedly cold, and the face is a little hard from the cold.
After entering the visiting hall and looking at it carefully with admiration, I deeply felt that today's happiness was not easy to come by. At the same time, we should sincerely sigh: How precious faith is, and how important a correct belief and outlook on life is to a person's life!
On the way back, we talked about this topic all the way, and I felt that this red baptism was very important.
The third and fourth years of junior high school are treated by relatives
In our hometown, the third year of junior high school is to worship my aunt and aunt. My wet nurse's niece came from Nanyang to greet me for the New Year. The arrival of my niece gave me a real taste of the New Year. The little girl's big boxes and small bags are all the best food I bought.
During the meal, she talked about the scene of the two of us eating Malatang in front of the school gate when she was going to school in Xi'an a few years ago. However, she still told everyone at the table: That year, when my aunt and I were eating Malatang, we just talked, and took the bamboo skewers we had eaten to poke the fire in the stove, but the boss said that we did it on purpose. That's interesting......
The next day they went to Lintong to play, and I waited at home for them to come back. In the afternoon, when I was reading another scripture, I suddenly remembered Master Tongman of Fengde Temple. Since seeing the other side of the flower, I haven't contacted her again. The Tripitaka I want to read, she might be able to find it for me. So, the call came. The call came and she didn't answer. After a while she called, and I hung up and called again.
After connecting it, I realized how ignorant I thought the Tripitaka was a book. Full: It's not one book, it's a collection of multiple books together.
Oh, that's called unprofessionalism. As she was talking about this issue, she turned her head eagerly and said: I want to ask you, you can give me an idea....
The call lasted more than an hour, and her problem should have been preliminarily solved. She said calmly: Last night I dreamed that the Bodhisattva led me to fly in the air, looking at the flowers and clouds. Right now, I'm packing my things and planning to leave here tomorrow when your call comes. You.......
Hehe, I'm in a different state of mind now. Hearing what she said later, it was no longer unbearable. She asked me sincerely, and I answered sincerely. I did this not only to thank her for allowing me to see the flowers of the other side, but also to discover her simplicity, honesty and straightforwardness in the process of interacting with Master Tongman. So it's no surprise that she asked me for advice. I have always known that monasteries, like our society, are not absolutely quiet. Therefore, the right and wrong in society, they are the same. It's human nature. So, when she talked about the problems she was facing, I skilfully solved them, which also borrowed the method of "When a Monk Meets a Diamond". As long as she does what I say, she will be able to 'see the light of day' this time."
In addition, after so many years approaching the monastery close to the monks. I also found a commonality, that is, most of the monks are avoiding contradictions, that is, retreating from the world.
Before they became monks, for one reason or another, they were unable to adapt to the mass society and chose a relatively quiet monastery. When there is the same secular conflict in the monastery as in the red dust, some people change places and find a quieter monastery. So, they would tell me that the monastery was supposed to be a pure place for human interaction, but it was the same as in society......
How can it be different, this is determined by human nature, and it has nothing to do with what you do. I've always thought that the monks are the same as us, but in different professions.
After hanging up the phone, I recalled the conversation with Master Tongman, shook my head and smiled: This thing is strange, it used to be the Pure Industry Temple, and now it is the Fengde Temple. I know everything big and small in the temple. Besides, I had long since put down writing about the monks.......
In the past, everyone ridiculed me for being the abbot of the Pure Industry Temple, but now it seems that the temple is going to be changed, haha.....
I promised Master Tongman that he would go to Fengde Temple to meet the real abbot Fu in the temple, the abbot who graduated from the Harbin Army. However, I really didn't want to go to Fengde Monastery in my heart, I never liked this monastery, and further afield, I didn't like to go to the monastery, let alone meet the monks.
However, the flowers on the other side of the temple made me get acquainted with Fengde Temple.......
Climb the mountain on the fifth day of the first month
In the past few years, I started to climb the mountain in the fourth year of junior high school. This year, I chose the fifth year of junior high school, and I started from Fengyu. Today is the mountain from the Joye Temple. I didn't enter the mountain from the regular Fengde Temple, first, I was a little scared from there alone, and second, I was worried about meeting Master Tongman.
The spring flowers in front of the mountain gate of the Pure Industry Temple are blooming, and the golden flowers held up by the spring snow on the flower branches are very gratifying. provoked the mountaineers to stop and watch. Spring snow, spring flowers, it's really spring.
Xi'an is also 20 kilometers away from Fengyu. But the seasons are so different. Last night, there was a spring snow in the mountains, and the rain in the city was sparse. If you don't come up the mountain today, you won't see the last snow in spring. What a blessing.
All the way up, the shrubs and trees in the mountains that do not lose their leaves in all seasons are all green and covered with white veil, which is very graceful. I also walked very gracefully, because I wanted to melt into this silence and harmony.
Walking into the gate of the temple, the old man in front of the main hall who took over the incense money from Master Tianchang looked up at me from afar and smiled thoughtfully. Looks like he's going to have something to say to me. I had to approach him and say hello, and sure enough, he told me something. This is something I expected. But listening to him, my mood suddenly became bad. This kind of mood cannot be replaced for a long time in the process of leaving the temple and going up the mountain.
After leaving the temple, we will start to ascend the mountain. The further up you go, the thicker the snow gets on the mountain. I didn't bring crampons today, and I've been worried that it will be difficult to walk when going down the mountain. The snow at the top of Wat Pho is thicker and whiter. Luckily, there was no icing. Walking on it is soft and very happy.
As he wished, he walked to the land beam. At this time, the sky was completely clear, ** sprinkled all over the mountains, the sky was blue, and the white clouds were blooming. Standing at the highest point on the beam, looking at the surrounding mountains, overlooking the spring snow on the mountain like snow lotus blooming, enchanting outside, suddenly the heart is relaxed and happy, and the heart flowers are blooming!
It's beautiful. Spring, spring snow, spring flowers, clouds in the blue sky, and me wandering on the mountain. Ouch, life is so beautiful, why don't I love it!
At this time, a loud male voice came from afar: Hey......
I don't hear anyone. When there is another "..... When I came, I also shouted "Oh....."
For a while, the sound of "hey...", which echoed and responded, resounded on the beam, which was very beautiful.
Haha, happy, very happy. Because, with the sound of "hey", it was my acquaintance. But he said, "Your voice is milky, like a lamb."
Haha, what's the matter!
I was very happy to climb the mountain for the first time in the New Year, enjoy the spring snow, and see the flowers blooming with snowflakes in spring, everything is a good start. I just didn't expect the temperature to rise too quickly, and when I got to the highest point on the beam, there was still thick snow on the beam. When I came down half an hour later, it was like a snowflake had come from the end. At this time, the beams were a little muddy. On the steep slope behind the lower Reclining Buddha Temple, the trekking pole broke.
It was such a surprise. This is the first time this has happened in my five years of climbing. Trekking poles are very important when descending the mountain, especially now that the snow has melted. I told myself over and over again: be careful, you can't fall.
Cautiously went down to the Wat Pho and asked the villagers of the farmhouse for a wooden stick to make a stick. The stick he gave me was really unsightly: fellow, can you support me with this stick?
"No problem. Those who are fatter than you are all pillars of my sticks. The fellow looked sincere.
There were no good ones available, so I had to carry a dog-beating stick down the mountain for the first time. At first, I was worried about the endurance of the dog beating stick, so I used it carefully. After walking for a while, I found that it worked, so I strode down the meteor and my mind wandered. As a result, I sat on the mud floor in a Z-shaped downhill at a bend and slipped down quickly, like a slide.
Seeing that he was about to slip into the deep ravine below the slope, he stopped again. I stood up amused, only to find that my pants and gloves were covered in thick mud. Hey, what's the matter? It's been a long time since I've wrestled, and it's the first time I've climbed a mountain for the first time in the first year and sat in mud. Looking at the mud of a pair of pants, I couldn't help but get angry from the side of my guts: It's all my fault for the fellow who beats the dog!
Another thought: Is it to blame?
On the rest of the journey, I basically struggled to shake off the mud. Finally, when I got out of the gate of Fengde Temple, the thin mud behind me was finally dry.
This climb, which usually takes seven hours to complete, only took six hours today, which is really fast. This is a good sign, and I hope that the small universe that will explode will accompany me to climb the mountain all year round.
Although I fell in the mud today, the process of climbing the mountain is still happy. This kind of happiness has always been indispensable in the New Year, and in the sense it is the same as the procedure of visiting relatives during the New Year.
The mountains of Fengyu are a part of my life! Love yourself, love Fengyu!
On the sixth day of the first month, I went to squeeze water to see the cave
I planned last night not to go out on the sixth day of the new year. But when I woke up in the morning and saw the hazy sky, my mind changed, and I thought that today was the last day of high-speed free. So I decided to go out again to enjoy the convenience of walking on the highway without paying a fee.
Location: Phoenix Ancient Town, where water is squeezed. When we arrived at the water squeezing, we didn't want to go to the ancient town anymore, so we went to Shangluo County instead. After buying two bags of walnuts in Shangluo County, I had no interest in the city at all. And I am very glad that I did not survive here in this life, and I suddenly feel that Xi'an is good. This place is sandwiched between two mountains and a city, and the city buildings are chaotic and depressing, and I feel uncomfortable staying for one more minute. Absconding quickly out of the county and heading for today's destination, the water-squeezing cave.
I wasn't interested in seeing the water cave when I came here three times, and today it was decided on an impromptu basis. Because if you don't go to the ancient town, you have to go somewhere to see. After arriving at the cave scenic spot, I didn't want to go up again. The reason is that I had a very uncomfortable reaction in my stomach when I ate the potato glutinous rice cake that I craved in the county town of Zhushui at noon, which was caused by the MSG in the rice. My family has not eaten MSG for many years, and now my stomach and taste buds are very sensitive to MSG.
After thinking about it, I decided to check it out. The cave is halfway up the mountain, and I am out of breath as soon as I go up a flight of steps. After entering the cave with difficulty, I found that there was really a cave. Under the action of dreamy lights, the stalactites have strange shapes and are full of bizarre light. Probably for safety reasons, in all areas where people can move, the stalactites above the head are all broken, and the broken shape looks somewhat regrettable.
The air in the cave was not circulating, it was very hot, and I was sweating profusely. It may be that too much sweat has released toxins, and the physical discomfort has basically disappeared after coming out of the hole. My body is better, and everything I see is fresh. I saw a lot of plants selling in the scenic square, and I couldn't name them, and I subconsciously thought it was an iron tree. The straw seller told me it was an orchid.
Hey, it's really surprising, there are such big orchids, the leaves are a meter long, and they are erect, exactly like a clump of wild weeds that have grown crazy. I haven't grown orchids, but I've seen quite a few. They are all a few slender leaves, which are very elegant. That's why I don't keep orchids, I like flowers in tight clusters. This is also an orchid in front of you? Maybe a female man orchid, haha.
When the seller told me about ten yuan a litter, I was curious again about this disrespectful orchid: it was too cheap. After decisively buying a second nest for twenty yuan (and giving me a small nest), he left happily. When I passed in front of the other flower sellers, I heard that they were all five yuan a nest and ten yuan for three nests.
How can there be such a thing? Isn't it obvious that I am stupid when I buy a piece of grass and make people overcharge? No, I have to go back and find the person who sold me grass: "It's not good for you to be like this, it's all five dollars a nest, why do you want me so much?"
"I'll give you another litter. “
"Why did you give it away? You should have given me four litters. "I mean it.
Straw seller: I said that you have to get the price for 10 yuan, and if you don't say anything, of course I will sell it as expensive as possible.
Hey, that's still my mistake. Carrying a large handful of female orchids to the front of the car. Family: What are you doing with so much grass?
"No taste, I'm a noble orchid. I said jokingly. After returning to school, I met acquaintances in the yard, and everyone said in unison: What kind of grass are you?
"I'm an orchid, you either, give you a nest. "I really want to give it away.
"Isn't that expensive?" asked the questioner cautiously. "Five dollars a nest. It is abundant in the water-squeezing mountains, and the scenic spots there are full of orchid sellers. "I'm a little embarrassed.
"It's so cheap. The other party's expression was a little questioning.
Haha, it's really 'people in groups', we all look at the grass in our hands the same.
……..
That's how I spent the six days of the year. Some netizens said after seeing my itinerary in the circle of friends, "This festival, you go to a lot of attractions."
Yes, this is the Spring Festival I celebrate! A person who did not entertain relatives at home (most of the relatives put down their gifts in the security room on the first floor, no matter how far or near they were, they all went back to their homes for dinner. Instead, they entertain their own Spring Festival.
A summary on the seventh day of the first month.
