236. Kozaji Temple
Five days later, Su Wen and the others finally arrived in Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Δ
"Xinghui, you go to Qixia Temple to explain the situation, let Qixia Temple prepare for the relics of the ancestor, and I will visit tomorrow. When he arrived outside Jinling City, Su Wen said to Xinghui.
"Yes, Abbot. Xinghui nodded. Su Wen has experienced a lot along the way, and he has also experienced a lot, and his heart has changed a lot, he is less impetuous and more pious than before, and he really looks like a monk.
When Xinghui left, everyone walked forward at will.
"There is a place here, the poor monk really wants to go and see it, I don't know if Senior Brother Dao Yan knows where it is?" Su Wen and Dao Yan chatted casually, neither at the beginning nor at the end of the conversation, and it must be confusing to be someone else.
"What the abbot wants to say is the Gaoza Temple?" said Dao Yan with a smile, his tone determined.
After listening to Dao Yan's words, Su Wen smiled, and sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from him, sometimes it's good, but sometimes it's quite boring.
I didn't answer, I took out my mobile phone and searched on it, and I directly found the location of the temple.
Su Wen wanted to go to Gaozaji Temple, but there was no other reason, but he just wanted to see it. At that time, the patriarch of Bodhidharma listened to the presiding over the divine light **, shook his head and disagreed, the divine light was surprised, and then followed at least the room mountain, and the snow broke his arm to seek the law, and finally became the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism Hui Ke. This temple has some roots in Zen Buddhism, but that's about it. After all, this is still the dojo of the Tiantai Sect, and Su Wen is just going to visit.
The group checked the map, and there was no need to ask passers-by, anyway, it was still early, so they walked around and looked at it while walking in the direction of Gaozaji Temple.
Jinling is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and there are still many well-preserved centuries-old buildings, which are difficult to see elsewhere, giving the whole city a different ancient charm. This made a few people a little interested, and they traveled all the way, and only arrived at the location of the temple in the afternoon.
As soon as everyone walked to the door, a monk greeted them and asked, "How many senior brothers don't know what's going on?"
"Passing by here, come and see the ruins of the ancestors. Su Wen Heten said with a smile.
"In this case, a few senior brothers are at will. The monk nodded. Gaoza Temple was established for 1,800 years, and the monks of the past dynasties have come out one after another, and the literati and ink writers have left countless ink treasures. Although it is estimated that monks visit this place relatively rarely, it is not impossible.
Looking at the appearance of a few people in the dust, you know that you have traveled a long way, and it is really as they said that they are passing by and coming to have a look. It's just that a few people carry tin canes and long sticks, which makes people pay more attention.
Several people went to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, which is the number of rites. Later, I took a tour of the temple and saw other monks who only made a fumaste.
The temple is not big, but it is quite delicate in the layout, and the walls are inlaid with rain flower stones, which looks a little interesting. After a little tour, Su Wen was slightly disappointed. The temple had been destroyed in the past, but what everyone saw at the moment was rebuilt later, which was far from what he imagined.
After the tour, a few people were just about to leave, but they heard someone behind them: "A few senior brothers, please stay."
Su Wen turned his head and saw another young monk walking briskly towards this side, and asked Tenste, "I don't know what is the matter?"
"The abbot of my house invited a few people to go and talk about it, and asked a few to move. The monk said respectfully.
Su Wen didn't know what the other party meant, but he still nodded, since the other party was invited, it was better to go and see what was going on.
The young monk first knocked on the door, then pushed the door open and said, "Please come in." ”
The room is sixty or seventy square meters, and the innermost is a pair of Taishi chairs and a coffee table, and the same is true on both sides of the room. At this moment, in the middle of the room, there was a monk in his fifties looking at several people with a smile on his face.
"Pure Heart Temple Su asked to see the abbot. Su Wen stepped in first.
"The poor monk has seen a few. The old monk said with a smile. "This is the room where the laymen are usually received, so don't be surprised, you might as well sit down and talk. ”
The aura first led the people to the chairs on either side, then sat himself in the middle, and after a while the young monk brought the tea and stood aside.
"I wonder why the abbot summoned me here?" asked Su asked Chorus.
Lingguang also said with a smile: "I heard that there is a Zen master recently, although he is young, he has a profound cultivation of Buddhism, and he has always wanted to see it." Today, I heard that you have come to this temple, and I took the liberty to invite you to see it, and I also looked at Haihan. ”
Then he nodded to Dao Yan and Hui Jue: "I didn't expect that there were three Zen masters here, but it made the old man disrespectful." If a few people enter and go out, but the poor monks don't see it, if they are talked about in the future, I'm afraid this face will be gone. ”
Su Wen said with a smile: "I wanted to visit, but I didn't want to bother, but the poor monks were rude." It's just that I don't know where the abbot knows about us?" Lingguang directly named Su Wen as a Zen master, knowing that only a Zen master would be called so. In today's Zen Buddhism, almost no one knows about it, and the other party still calls it like this, which shows that he has figured out the origin of several people. ”
The Lingguang took out a mobile phone from his arms and shook it in his hand: "I have often seen the news recently, and I heard that a few monks with weapons are here, although the old man ignores the world, he is not so ill-informed. ”
Su Wen thought for a moment and laughed. After becoming a monk and cultivating, he rarely paid attention to outside things, and even he didn't use his mobile phone much now, but he didn't expect this aura to be quite "advancing with the times." "If you come here rashly with a tin rod and a long stick, I'm afraid it's inevitable that the other party will pay more attention, but the other party is also a caring person.
Lingguang said again: "At the beginning, the ancestor of your sect lived temporarily in this temple, so this sect also left some records. It's just that later Zen Buddhism was scattered, and there has been no news. Now your temple is rising again, but it is another vein for my Buddhism, but it is also a happy event. ”
Su Wen nodded: "Although my Buddhism is different from each other, it has the same branch. Like a great tree, each with its branches.
The two said something that was not nutritious, and Su Wen saw that the other party was always going around in circles, so he asked the other party to say goodbye.
"It's late today, the poor monks and others still have other things, if you have the opportunity another day, come and listen to the abbot**." Su Wen said.
Lingguang looked at the sky, and then suddenly said: "It's late, since you have something to do, I don't want to stay longer." Since this temple and your temple have a relationship, it is necessary to move back and forth more in the future. ”
Su Wen has been walking out of the Gaoza Temple for a long time, but he is still a little confused. The abbot of the temple invited a few people in and mentioned the matter of Zen Buddhism, thinking that he would ask where he got this Zen teachings or some other things. But the other party actually circled with him for several hours, which made him really a little confused.
"Senior Brother Dao Yan, what do you think about this?" Su Wen couldn't figure it out, so he simply asked Dao Yan, with the other party's mind, he must be able to guess what the other party was thinking.
"At this time, my Zen sect was newly established, and the wind and waves outside were very urgent, and I didn't know what the other seven sects thought, and I didn't necessarily want to see it come true. Before I established myself in Zen Buddhism, how could he talk to me and so on. Dao Yan said calmly.
"Then why did he ask me to wait?
"This person is not good at Buddhism, the dust has not been removed, and he wants to make a good relationship, but he is also afraid of getting angry. It can be said that the heart is not strong, the vision is unknown, and in the end it is nothing more than nothing. (To be continued.) )8
