Chapter 72: Uncontrollable tears in front of the palace
Legend has it that Jin Dizang once settled in Zipeng Mountain and went to Jiuhua Mountain to practice the "Dizang Sutra" through Chaohu Lake, and was later enshrined as the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo.
Therefore, there is a saying that "nine lotus flowers open the Buddha country, and the five dragons cluster beads Zipeng Mountain", which hints at this section of the Buddha relationship between Zipeng Mountain and Jindizang Bodhisattva, so Zipeng Mountain is also known as "North Jiuhua".
Get off the car and come to the mountain gate of Zipeng Mountain, on the vast stone platform, looking at the gate hall in front of you, the atmosphere is majestic, very magnificent. The sky seems to be exceptionally blue, and the white clouds drift by with the breeze in the mountains, adding an aura that is difficult to catch.
My mother and aunt scrambled to take a group photo in front of the hall, but I didn't pay attention to it, but I was attracted by the scenery in front of the hall, and at this moment, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of my eye, he was fleeting behind the door, so I wanted to take another look to confirm whether I was wrong!
Before I could think about whether I was dazzled or not, my body had already chased after me, and by the time I passed through the door hall and walked inside, it was all scattered tourists, and I didn't see the familiar figure at all.
I was a little anxious to keep turning my gaze, trying to catch the person who flashed by, but there was no trace of it.
At this time, my sister-in-law and my mother caught up with me from behind and pulled me to the tour bus for which I had already paid for it.
After getting on the tour bus and looking at the scenery along the way, the pleasant scenery did not catch my eyes at all, and I already felt some chaos in my consciousness.
I don't know why, since I came here, my consciousness seems to have been affected by something, and I can't control it, and my brain has a dull pain.
I wanted to ask Master, but I couldn't concentrate so that I could hear what Master was saying. Fortunately, I didn't care about this, and tried my best to suppress the pain from the soul.
Soon, when we reached the end, we got off the bus, and from here we went up to the temple, where people needed to climb to the top of the mountain step by step.
Our first stop was the Temple of the God of Wealth, where there were two chubby little boys in front of the temple. I saw a lot of people circling around the Temple of Wealth, walking around the periphery of the temple, still muttering something in their mouths. And they all had to go up and touch the heads of the two little boys in front of the temple gate.
The aunt stepped forward and asked a lady who had just finished, "Why do you and these people walk around this temple?
The eldest lady enthusiastically said with a local accent: "I don't know the specifics, this is the Temple of Wealth, they said that walking around the temple, you can come from all directions, I don't know if the spirit is not spiritual, anyway, I have come, and I will have peace of mind when I walk, and I will not lose anything." β
When my aunt came back and told us the general meaning, my mother immediately became interested and said, "Then let's go up and take a walk, in case the spirit appears, we are also here for the right time!"
After saying that, without asking for my opinion, he dragged me up and walked up with great interest. After walking, the only thing I remember is that I also touched the two little boys' shiny heads.
Later, we went to several temples and took various photos of my mother and aunt in front of the door.
Finally, after several rounds, I came to the "Daxiong Treasure Hall", where there are three golden Buddha statues. The main position is Shakyamuni Buddha, and the left and right only know one of them, that is, the Medicine Buddha on the right, who holds the golden pagoda.
Because the Medicine Buddha has been enshrined in the house since the establishment of the temple, my mother and father have traveled a lot to invite the Medicine Buddha statue that can meet the eyes of the family, and after many twists and turns, I finally invited the Medicine Buddha home.
The full name of Medicine Buddha is - Medicine Buddha who eliminates disasters and prolongs life. He is the leader of the Oriental Pure Glass World. "The oriental world is pure glass, the sun and the moon shine brightly, and the pharmacist is like a true doctor king, vowing to promote the depth of sentient beings", which can eliminate disasters and prolong life for sentient beings, reduce auspiciousness, gain wealth, and everything goes smoothly.
I frowned, looked at the other Buddha statue, and remembered in my mind if there was a memory of the other one.
"The one holding the lotus platform in his hand is Nam Wu Amitabha Buddha, who is the master of the Western Elysium. β
"It turned out to be Nan Mu Amitabha!" I immediately knelt down respectfully to worship.
After getting up, he turned to look at the master who had just solved his puzzles. Unexpectedly, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I felt a sense of joy in meeting acquaintances.
"It's you!" The one in front of me is the monk Buchen who had a relationship with me on the train.
"The donor is courteous, we meet again. As he spoke, Buchen bowed to me.
I immediately returned the salute and said: "Yes, yes, it should be fate that is not over, I thought I was dazzled at the bottom of the mountain just now." It's really you. "Yes, the figure I saw at the bottom of the mountain just now is a flash of dust.
"Are you a monk here?" "Was it because he was a monk here?"
"No, no, no, the little monk just passed by here, and saw that the donor was a little puzzled just now, so he answered the donor's questions. β
That's really fate, this can also be encountered.
"Has the benefactor ever been to the Jizo Temple?" Seeing that I didn't speak, Buchen continued to ask.
"I haven't been there yet, I'm about to go. β
In this case, the little monk will no longer bother too much, and the donor has not seen more important people. With that, he turned and left.
Looking at Buchen's shabby but very clean monk's clothes, his appearance is just very ordinary, with a little bit of beauty, but for some reason, he just feels that his temperament is indescribably different?
When I reacted, I couldn't see him anymore.
Summoning my mother, aunt and others, and after everyone was together, they continued to walk up.
Finally, I climbed to the Jizo Temple.
For some reason, the closer I got to this temple, the more empty my brain became. I couldn't think about why I was here, but I only had a belief in my heart, telling myself that if I went forward, I would definitely see the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
When he came to the front of the temple, there was a "ββbang" in his head, and he was completely thoughtless. Without a trace of focus in his eyes, he slowly walked to the golden statue of Jizo King Bodhisattva and knelt on the futon.
After bowing down, his head could no longer be raised.
Until his mother noticed his abnormality, she hurriedly stepped forward to help herself unconscious. I helped myself to sit on a wooden bench in front of a big tree a little farther away from the temple door, and it was as if my consciousness had regained a little.
When he regained a little consciousness, he looked back at the Buddha statue of the Jizo King Bodhisattva wearing a red shawl in the hall, and he couldn't hold back crying anymore, and he didn't cry out loud, and the tears fell on the stone steps under his feet and the wooden chair under him. I cried as if I was about to die.
My aunt and sister-in-law were frightened, and they hurriedly gathered around me and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
I couldn't say anything from crying, but my mother said, "I think I sensed something." β
At this time, I only remember one sentence in my mind: "All sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven, hell is not empty, and I vow not to become a Buddha." β
"All sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven, hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha. β
"All sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven, hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha. β
My head hurt more and more, and I almost wanted to blow my head open. I felt as if I was in the middle of a big bell, and all the memories around me were the vows that Jizo King Bodhisattva had made.
There are many emotions in my heart, distress, helplessness, and grievances, all of which are feelings for the Jizo King Bodhisattva. I feel that the Jizo King Bodhisattva is very hard, and he has endured a lot of suffering and transformed too many living beings.
"Let's go goodbye again. "It's Master, Master's voice is very weak to me at the moment, but it is a good medicine to save me.
Because of this five-word sentence, I struggled from the predicament and came to my senses.
Walked slowly to the hall that he had just barely been able to get out of.
Looking at the Jizo King Bodhisattva in front of him, he bowed down sincerely, kneeling three times and bowing nine times, just like the great gift on the day he set up his temple.
After the last prostration, I also heard a word of liberation.
