Behind the shrine there is a wooden statue of Wei Dao, the god stick is in hand, and it is the guardian god of Shaolin Temple.
After the mountain gate, it is the Yongdao, the stele stone on both sides is like a forest, so it is called the stele forest. The hammer hall is on the west side of the stele forest in the mountain gate, and there are clay sculptures and wood carvings in it, which deduce the development history of Shaolin martial arts and its outstanding achievements.
After passing through the stele forest through Yongdao is the palace of the heavenly king, it is a three-room heavy eaves rest the top of the mountain hall, there are two big King Kongs outside, and the inside is the statue of the four heavenly kings, all of them are mighty and majestic.
Walk through the Hall of the Heavenly King, and then there is the Hall of the Great Hero. The hall enshrines the statues of Sakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha, and the statue of Guanyin is hung behind the screen wall, and there are eighteen Arhats standing on both sides. After the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion again, which is the place where the monks of the temple Tibetan scriptures say the truth. In front of the hall, there is a large iron bell cast in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, weighing about 650 kilograms. The southeast side of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is the meditation room, which is the place where the monks meditate, and the west meditation room opposite is the hall room responsible for receiving guests.
The two walked through the main hall, bypassed the Tallinn in the west, and arrived at the first ancestral nunnery, on the way, the monks in the temple saw Master Dechun, they all bowed their heads and saluted, and it was clear that Master Dechun had a very high status in the temple.
It wasn't until he entered the First Ancestral Nunnery that Chen Ran felt the solemn feeling that the thousand-year-old temple brought to him, and most of the buildings of the Shaolin Temple were renovated, and it looked magnificent, but the feeling to Chen Ran was not the same.
That's the downside of over-commercialization.
The commercial operation of Shaolin Temple is so successful that people can't associate it with the original Shaolin Temple, as if it has changed, and the Shaolin Temple in the heart is no longer a Shaolin Temple, stepping into the Shaolin Temple, and I can't find that solemn sรน Mu pious feeling.
It wasn't until I entered the First Ancestral Nunnery that I found that feeling, that kind of solemn feeling, and I couldn't help but dare not make a loud noise, I didn't dare to make too much noise, as if I was afraid of disturbing the Buddha's cultivation.
"Master Chen, the master is in the back mountain to participate in Zen, you can enter by yourself, but after entering, don't trespass, so as not to disturb the cultivation of other Zen masters......"
Master Dechun took Chen Ran to turn around the first ancestral nunnery, and when he arrived at the back mountain, he stopped, turned around and solemnly explained to Chen Ran, the back mountain is the place where the older generation of monks cultivate, without the summons of the teacher, even he is not allowed to enter lightly, mainly because he is afraid of disturbing the older generation of monks Qing Xiu, the older generation here is not to say the generation in the Shaolin Temple, the current Shaolin Temple is higher than his generation is only his teacher, mainly talking about the age, the back mountain is lived by the older generation of monks, these monks in the Shaolin Temple have high and low generations, but most of them are over 80 years old.
After Master Dechun confessed to Chen Ran, he turned his head and left, so that Chen Ran wanted to ask him how to find the old Zen master, but he didn't have time, so he had to look around at the environment in front of him.
Shaolin Temple was originally built on the halfway of Songshan Mountain, and the place where he was in front of him was actually the sloping valley where the two mountains meet, and the entrance of this sloping valley must be the entrance to the back mountain.
Since this is the case, then Chen Ran also walked into the back mountain slowly.
There is a canyon in the back mountain, the mountain scenery is beautiful, the environment is quiet, it is very quiet, and the sound of flowing water and birds can be heard in silence...... Chen Ran walked along a mountain road towards the top of the mountain, and along the way, peanuts were planted on both sides of the mountain road, which reminded him of the Shaolin hermit monk who was rumored some time ago.
The Shaolin hermit monk has been living a reclusive life, but he is not in the Shaolin Temple, but in the lower courtyard of the Shaolin Temple, living in the cave day and night, was exposed by the reporter at the time, in addition to the hermit, there are other old monks and bhikshunis also live a reclusive life, it is still a combination of agriculture and Zen, hard work, quite a Tang Dynasty Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master "one day not to do, one day not to eat" Zen Sect relics.
The back mountain of this Shaolin Temple, Master Dechun is not light, obviously, the estimation of farming is also those old monks, to Chen Ran's feeling, but it is a little less flashy, a little more real.
didn't let Chen Ran go far, just climbed a rocky slope along the small mountain road, and saw the old Zen master.
In front of me is a mountain stream, the stream is divided into many tributaries, but in the middle of the stream there is a big stone, under the big stone is a pool, the pool is not big, only a few zhang square, some like a dam of the reservoir to intercept the water of the stream in this pool, only a layer of water gurgling down the stone wall.
On this large stone sat an old monk with a long silver beard and a long chest, with an old face and wrinkles all over his face, so that his age could not be seen.
Chen Ran had not seen Master Dechun's mentor before, but he had a feeling that the old monk in front of him was Master Dechun's mentor, that is, he wanted to see the old Zen master.
"Old Zen Master ......"
The old Zen master sat motionless on the stone, even if Chen Ran came over, he didn't seem to see it, Chen Ran saw that he didn't say anything, so he could only shout, but he still didn't react at all.
It wasn't until he walked to the stone where the old Zen master was sitting that Chen Ran found that the old Zen master had been staring at the other side, and he didn't know what was so attractive on the other side that he didn't blink.
Chen Ran couldn't help but follow the old Zen master's line of sight to look at the opposite side, only to find that on the opposite side, that is, on the other side of the pool, there was a karst cave, the karst cave was dozens of zhang wide, and all kinds of strange-shaped stalactites were scattered around, and the inner wall of the cave turned out to be a stone wall as smooth as a mirror.
Probably due to the light, there are beautiful points of light hanging on the stone wall, shining with colorful light, dotting the cave into a colorful world, as if it is a paradise.
The stone wall is as smooth as a mirror, but if you look closely, you will find that a figure is reflected on the stone wall.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ran's heart suddenly moved, presumably anyone who saw the scene in front of him would involuntarily think of a legend.
Chen Ran is no exception.
This legend is the legend of the Bodhidharma Patriarch.
Legend has it that Emperor Wu of Liang set up a great translation field in Nanjing, and many Tianzhu monks came to visit, among which there was a famous monk who came to China to have a profound impact on Zen Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism.
After Bodhidharma arrived in Jinling, Emperor Wu of Liang was an emperor who believed in Buddhism, and after he ascended the throne, he built temples, wrote scriptures, ordained monks, and made many statues.
As a result, Bodhidharma said that there was no merit, and Emperor Wu asked why there was no merit? Bodhidharma said that this is a promising thing, not a real merit.
Emperor Wu couldn't understand, the two broke up unhappily, after Bodhidharma left, Emperor Wu of Liang felt deep remorse, and after learning the news of Bodhidharma's departure, he immediately sent someone to ride a mule to chase after him.
When chasing to the middle of the Shogunate Mountain, the peaks on both sides suddenly closed, and the group was sandwiched between the two peaks. Bodhidharma was walking to the river, and when he saw someone coming, he broke a reed by the river and threw it into the river, turned into a flat boat, and floated across the river.
This is the legend of Bodhidharma Patriarch crossing the river with a reed.
After Bodhidharma crossed the river, he held the Zen battle, walked and walked, saw the mountain to worship, met the temple and sat in meditation, and the Northern Wei Dynasty Xiaochang arrived at the Songshan Shaolin Temple in three years.
When Patriarch Bodhidharma came to Shaolin, he saw that it was surrounded by mountains and the environment was quiet, so he took Shaolin Temple as his missionary dojo.
Later, there was the legend of Bodhidharma Patriarch facing the wall for nine years, Bodhidharma Patriarch faced the wall in a cave in Shaolin Temple, and one side was nine years.
It is recorded that the cave facing the wall of the Bodhidharma patriarch is a natural karst cave, go to the entrance of the cave, and then look back at the outside, a ray of sunlight is thrown in through the shrubs, the light in the cave is a little light, it is really a natural treasure cave.
Bodhidharma stepped into the entrance of the cave and found that the cave was very shallow, surrounded by rock walls, impermeable, and the inner walls were like mirrors, which was really a natural place for retreat and cultivation.
Bodhidharma patriarch face the wall for nine years, on the stone wall in the cave, actually reflected a figure, the monk at that time saw this and shouted magically, since then respect Bodhidharma as a god, and also spread the legend of Bodhidharma facing the wall.
There have always been many speculations about the cave facing the wall of the Bodhidharma Patriarch, and most of them regard the Bodhidharma Cave as the place where the Bodhidharma faces the wall, but seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Ran knows that the cave in front of him should be the real place where the Bodhidharma Patriarch faces the wall.
In addition to the fact that the situation in front of him was the same as described in the legend, there was another reason, that is, when Chen Ran looked at the stone wall, he gave him a sense of piety.
The old Zen master looked at the cave in front of him motionless, Chen Ran saw him like this, and tried to sit down like him, don't look at the old Zen master's sitting posture seems to be very casual, but Chen Ran knows that ordinary people really can't learn it, and only when he has been insisting on practicing weird dances, his body is so flexible.
Chen Ran didn't notice that when he sat down like this, the old Zen master who had been staring at the stone wall couldn't help but look at him more.
After sitting down, Chen Ran also looked at the stone wall in the cave, and after calming down, the feeling of piety was infinitely magnified in front of him.
Aware of this, Chen Ran was not surprised, if it was before, he might have been surprised, but since he found out that the Buddha artifact really has the effect of calming the mind, he is not surprised, and during this time, he also has a better understanding of the Buddha artifact.
He understood the breath coming out of the Buddha vessel as the magnetic field or aura of the Buddha vessel, and the reason why he understood it this way was that during this time he read some books about Feng Shui, and the theoretical basis of Feng Shui is the aura.
In Feng Shui, it is believed that the aura is everywhere, but the aura is good or bad, strong or weak. A place with a good aura and a strong aura is a place with good feng shui; On the contrary, where the aura is bad and the aura is weak, feng shui is not good.
The aura in Feng Shui is undoubtedly similar to the breath of the Buddha, just like after he released the energy aperture, some of the magic weapons passed on to him with suction power, and some of them were repulsive power, just like the Yue knife and the soul bottle in Yang Madman's house.
can give him a pious feeling, which shows that the aura of this thing is large, and the stone cave in front of him is the place where the Bodhidharma patriarch faces the wall, needless to say.
Sensing the pious feeling coming from the stone wall, Chen Ran moved slightly in his heart, and when he probed the magic weapon, he could only detect the breath of the magic weapon by releasing the energy aperture, and now that he didn't release the energy aperture, he could feel the pious feeling coming from the stone wall, if he released the energy aperture, wouldn't this feeling be even greater, but I don't know if the energy aperture can detect the stone wall in front of him...
After looking at the old monk next to him, and seeing that he was still staring at the stone wall motionlessly, Chen Ran couldn't help but release an energy aperture to probe the past......
