This time, there were many more lay people than last time, more than 100 people, plus cancer patients and their families, as well as monks in the Pure Heart Monastery and a few lay disciples who had nowhere to go, a total of nearly 300 people spent the New Year together.

Fortunately, the place of Jingxin Temple is much larger now, unlike last year, dozens of people had to be divided into two batches, one part in the dining hall, and some in the reading room on the first floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Today's dining hall alone is half empty after 300 people enter.

From the afternoon onwards, many lay people help cook in the hall, and most of the others watch TV and play cards in the hall. And the monks in the temple are also much more relaxed today, most of them are watching TV.

It didn't take long for Jelly Bean to come in with a head of snow on his back, followed by a little one.

They are all those guys who often listen to lectures in the main hall, except for the morning and evening classes every day, the rest of the time is either in the temple to ask for "food", or just to gang up to play in the temple.

The scene of foxes, squirrels, rabbits, and black bears playing together is difficult to see outside of the Pure Heart Temple.

As soon as they came in on their front feet, a dozen more children rushed in on their back feet, apparently chasing these little ones. However, when he was outside, he still shouted and shouted, and when he arrived at the dining hall, he immediately lowered his voice.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, they lightly touched the little animals, and it didn't take long for them to start playing.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the temple began to eat, a total of 24 tables, all of which were originally long tables in pairs, each table can accommodate 12 people.

After everyone sat down, Yu Suwen said a few words and then started.

Within a few minutes of starting, two dishes on each table were coming down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At first, it was a little strange for many lay people to see that many children picked the two plates of cabbage-like dishes to eat, but when they tasted it, they couldn't stop using their chopsticks. A fragrant smell fills the mouth, and some seasonings are simply put in, which highlights the original taste of the dish.

"What kind of cabbage is this?" At that time, a layman asked curiously.

"It's Zen cabbage, but nowhere else." Immediately, a child opened his mouth and said, but when he opened his mouth, the last two pieces of Zen cabbage that the chopsticks were about to reach were quickly pinched away by the chopsticks stretched out next to him.

"It's telling you to eat more and talk less." A teenager next to him put the dish in his mouth before he said proudly.

The angry previous child grinds his teeth vigorously.

Zen cabbage is harvested a lot, but it is far from enough for the daily consumption of the Pure Heart Temple, so it is only done once in a few days, and many children break their heads every time.

Although the monks in the temple also love it, they also pay some attention to their identities, and it is not so, but these children are not so concerned.

But this is also a way for them to play, and everyone is not surprised.

With these children at the table, those lay people felt pity in their hearts, and they vigorously served them vegetables, completely like their own children. For a while, the whole banquet was full of laughter.

Subsequently, the rice of Jingxin Temple also surprised many laymen, the rice grain is long and narrow, and there are two sizes of ordinary rice grains. And it is crystal clear, fragrant, and tastes distinct, with a hint of sweetness.

Whether it's this rice or Zen cabbage, I've never seen it before.

After the meal, Su Wen asked people to send some food to the big nest of rats behind the hall, and sprinkled a lot of rice in the greenhouse where the big banyan tree was held, which was regarded as an additional meal for them. After that, the monks in the Jingxin Temple did the evening class normally, and then gathered in the dining hall to watch the Spring Festival Gala with many laymen.

Whether it is that world or this world, although it is different in many places, the Spring Festival Gala is also the focus of attention of many Chinese people on New Year's Eve.

Su Wen followed the hall for a while, did not call anyone, left the hall alone, and wandered around the temple.

At this time, the Jingxin Temple is brightly lit, and countless red lanterns dot the night of Baiyun Mountain. Especially today, when the snow is still falling, the scenery is even more charming.

Su Wen just enjoyed the scenery, walked along the stone steps from the fourth floor to the main hall, looked up at the Buddha statue of the gundam, and was a little distracted for a while.

I don't know when he prefers to practice quietly, but he is not used to being noisy.

Su Wen stood in the main hall for a long time, the light of the candle flickered on his face, and slowly people began to come behind him.

Daoqin, Daoyan, Xiuyan, Decheng, Tianru, Changguan, Lu Zhishen, Tanzong, Huiling, Zhishou, Seng Feng, Seng Man, Seng Yang, Xingyuan, Xing Difficult, Xing Suffering, Xing Zheng......

Su Wen suddenly came back to his senses, and when he turned around, he saw that everyone in the temple was already standing behind him.

"Let's get started." Su Wen said with a smile.

Then everyone looked for a place to cross their knees or sit down.

The empty seats on both sides are the children in the temple, as well as many laymen.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Su Wen, he began to recite Buddhist scriptures to transcend the souls of the dead in all directions, as well as the deceased parents and ancestors of many lay people.

Next, similar to last year, at 10 o'clock I went back to the hall to make dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and at 12 o'clock I went to the bell tower to ring the bell and welcome the arrival of the new year under the light of fireworks over the East China Sea in the distance.

……

New Year's Day

After a period of scarcity of pilgrims, the temple suddenly reached its peak again.

From the morning, the temple is crowded with people.

Countless ordinary people, whether they believe in Buddhism or not, wear Hanfu and come to Jingxin Temple to burn a pillar of incense at the beginning of the New Year, and make wishes for the new year: family, career, heirs, marriage......

And at the foot of the mountain, a temple fair has also been spontaneously formed. The huge flow of people naturally brings business opportunities, even if it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, those vendors will not miss such an opportunity.

Stretching hundreds of meters from the bottom of the mountain to both sides, there are all kinds of vendors, snacks, Buddhist beads, amulets, books, and craftsmen.

Only the Buddhist beads, amulets and Bodhisattva pendants of the "Pure Heart Temple Consecration" are no less than ten stalls.

Even ordinary people know that this is all fake, but in order to have a celebration, they don't care about spending ten or twenty yuan to buy one.

There are also many other candy blowers, clay figures, portrait paintings, and design autographs, and there is even a family practicing their skills at the foot of the mountain, which won a lot of applause for a while.

From the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, there is a joyous atmosphere.

Although there are some pilgrims in the Dragon Hunting Temple not far away, it is much worse than the grand occasion of the crowds in the Jingxin Temple.

Even the small vendors at the bottom of the hill are scattered.

After offering incense and worshipping the gods, many people also go to the temple fair at the foot of the mountain of Jingxin Temple to take a turn.

This made the faces of the two young Taoist priests who had gone up and down the mountain several times not look good.

After all, the temples and Taoist temples are only a few kilometers apart, but the difference in popularity is the difference between heaven and earth, how can they feel comfortable in their hearts?

Liang Pingxing didn't mind this, after all, the Pure Heart Temple had been developed in the East China Sea for a long time, and there were many miraculous things happening, so it would be strange if there were not even these people.
