It turns out that the cultivation of the Lingshan is not as easy and happy as many people originally imagined, it can be said that when everyone rushed to the Lingshan, there was not even a decent welcome ceremony, which made many people feel disappointed and relaxed, of course, these people also included that year, so when the Sari Buddha said that everyone arranged the cultivation place for cultivation separately, that year did not buy it at all, and even had the idea of quietly slipping away like some people.

In the end, the Sariputta said that it was specially arranged by the Buddha to live on a special hill that year, and on the way to lead the year to pass, the Sariputta introduced that in fact, the place where he lived that year was called the Kowloon Bathing Square, and gave the year a detailed introduction to the origin of this Kowloon Bathing Square

According to the Buddhist classic "The Book of Travel", the Buddha Shakyamuni was born to be able to speak and walk, he walked seven steps in the four directions of south, south, west, and north, and each step showed a lotus flower on the ground. He pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, and said: "Heaven and the world, I am the only one", at this time, two pools of water suddenly appeared in the garden, and nine dragons appeared in the sky, spitting out water columns to bathe and cleanse themselves.

It's a magical story that reminds me of that year. What's even more rare is that when I arrived at the destination that year, I really witnessed the large-scale music dynamic group sculpture "Nine Dragons Bathing, Flowers Blooming to See Buddha" in Lingshan Scenic Area, which reproduced the gorgeous scene in the story. In the Kowloon Bathing Square, I saw a huge bronze sculpture of a lotus flower standing in front of me, held up by four mighty Hercules, with a white circular marble pool at the bottom, surrounded by nine flying dragons and eight donors of different shapes.

I saw that the Saribuddha made a gesture at the beginning, and then I heard a beautiful music slowly sounded, and I saw that the huge six lotus petals slowly bloomed, and a 7.2-meter-high golden-chested golden body Prince Buddha statue, one finger to the sky, one finger to the ground, slowly rising from the lotus, at this time, the mouth of the Nine Dragons sprayed out a water column dozens of meters high, bathing the Prince Buddha statue. In an instant, the square was full of drums and fountains. The statue of the Prince Buddha circles clockwise in a huge water curtain, symbolizing "flowers bloom to see the Buddha" and "the light of the Buddha shines". As the music faded, the lotus petals wrapped around the Prince Buddha statue and slowly closed.

At this time, pure water flowed out of the mouths of the eight groups of phoenixes around the fountain, and the Saribuddha smiled and introduced: "This is not ordinary pure water, according to Buddhism, this is the "eight merit water", that is, the Buddhist "holy water". You should definitely drink a cup every day, or you can take it home with a bottle, and it is said that drinking the "Eight Merit Water" or using it to worship the Buddha statue will protect you and your family, and bring good luck and peace to everyone. “

That year, I thought to myself, I am alone, one person eats enough for the whole family and the whole family is not hungry, where did the family come from, and then I followed the Sariputta and looked around.

The Kowloon Bathing Square is surrounded by prayer corridors with a total of 108 prayer wheels. "The prayer wheel is a special instrument for Tibetan Buddhism to pray for blessings, and turning the prayer for a week is equivalent to reading and reciting the scriptures once, and the merit is immeasurable. If you are sincere, you can turn the scriptures for a week, which means that if you recite the scriptures a hundred times, you will be blessed with a hundredfold merit and longevity. The Sariputta continued.

Go forward again, there is a sheep intestine trail built, there is a sign standing at the entrance of the road, it is engraved with "subduing demons and becoming enlightened" four golden characters, walking along the trail all the way, you will see a big relief, that year look carefully, it turns out that it records the story of the Buddha's subjugation of demons and enlightenment, the whole wall is forged from copper, nearly 30 meters wide, and there are seven or eight meters high, it is really a rare art treasure. According to the story, after six years of asceticism, Shakyamuni meditated under the Bodhi tree and vowed that "if you cannot understand the truth of all things in the universe, you will never leave this seat." That year, I saw the Buddha sitting upright in the middle of the sculpture, touching the ground with one hand, for the "Demon Seal", the two sides of the Buddha respectively showed the Demon King with power, treasure, beauty to seduce the Buddha, slander the Buddha, with the Demon Soldier Demon General to intimidate the Buddha's scene, the Buddha was unmoved, the Demon King's attack was defeated one by one, after seven days and seven nights, finally overcome the obstacles of money, power, women, fear, slander, etc., and finally became enlightened, became a real Great Enlightened One, and the heavens and the earth were shaken.

In front of the Buddha, the land god knelt in front of the Buddha and told the local hunters about Shakyamuni's Buddhahood.

That year, he couldn't help but praise: "What a fairyland on earth, much more magnificent than Naputuo Mountain." ”

Unexpectedly, the Sariputta sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that you have not grown at all in this period of time. ”

I was puzzled that year, and I wanted to ask what the Sariputta meant by this, but the Sariputa didn't answer anything, only explained, saying that when you have a good rest here for a while, the Buddha will listen to your work report, and then he left a little unhappy.

It can be said that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is charming, the air is fresh, and the climate is also pleasant, that year I seemed to be curious about everything, but I looked at the smoke around almost all day and night, and I didn't dare to walk around, I was afraid that I would get lost and not come back, or there was any danger, and after a while, my curiosity was lost, and I was a little upset.

Fortunately, the Sarishi Buddha finally appeared again, saying that the Buddha finally returned from wandering, and wanted to invite the New Year to chat, this time the Sarifu seemed to be very polite, the tone was soft, and the attitude was kind and kind, so that the year felt special in his heart, and the Buddha was also very casual, after the year passed, the two of them sat down casually on the two stone piers under the old ginkgo tree and chatted.

Of course, the ancestor of the Buddha inquired in detail about the whole process of preaching and preaching with the people of Cihang Dao in the Central Plains, and finally asked for a little bit of his views on how Buddhism would develop in the Central Plains in the future.

"Your idea is very good, as the saying goes, follow the customs, everything should be applied flexibly, not rigidly, absorb the strengths of a hundred schools, absorb the essence of Taoism and Confucianism, and then synthesize, it can also be called Central Plains Buddhism, you can also be the head of Central Plains Buddhism in the future, and in the past we advocated that the practice of benefit is for the sake of the next life, and now it can also be changed to this life to have good results, in order to confirm that this is true, we plan to let everyone in the flesh to board the Lotus Treasure Island, in advance to establish the Amitabha Buddha country, However, it may be necessary for everyone to endure a lot of hardships and make a lot of efforts through great difficulties, I don't know if you are willing? "It was as if the Buddha was asking for Nian's opinion.
