Chapter 194: Burning incense and making vows
Yuquan Temple is a temple where incense is flourishing, Rao is Huiya and their group came out early, but they can't stand the road out of the city is far away, at this time, the people who worship the Buddha in Yuquan Temple have been endless.
Huiya held her mother's hand, stood in front of the mountain gate of Yuquan Temple, looked at the three words of the huge Yuquan Temple on the mountain gate, and the cigarette smoke rose in the distance, only feeling that although the temple was not built magnificently, there was a solemn feeling in the temple market.
"Let's go, Ya'er, we're still willing to go!" Although Zheng also likes to be lively on weekdays, at this time, he doesn't care about the crowd buying and selling in the temple market, he just thinks about going up the mountain quickly, burning incense to repay his vows, and then praying to the Bodhisattva to bless Huishan and Huiya to have a good marriage.
Zheng looked at the mountain gate of Yuquan Temple, his heart was very excited, when he lost Huiya, his heart was broken, or his own father-in-law heard that the incense of Yuquan Temple was extremely effective, so he dragged himself to burn incense and petition, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to ignite a glimmer of hope in such a desperate situation.
Now that the wish has been fulfilled, Zheng's heart is full of gratitude, and this time he came back to make a wish, Zheng's arms carried a whole thousand taels of silver tickets over, which was used to repay the wish and reshape the golden body of the Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.
"Amitabha, a few donors are polite!" A welcoming monk in a robe, seeing that Zhao Erye's family was dressed extraordinarily, knew that it was either rich or expensive, and greeted him with a smile on his face.
"The master is polite, Neiko made a wish in front of the Buddha last year, and now the wish has been fulfilled, and he came to burn incense to repay his wish." Second Master Zhao returned the salute to the welcoming monk and said with a smile.
This Yuquan Temple's incense and wishing spirit was heard by Zhao Erye before he entered Beijing, and he originally just had the attitude of trying it out, and pulled Zheng over to relieve his heart. When the lottery was drawn, it was drawn on the lot, which had the meaning of another village, and now that the signature has been fulfilled, Zhao Erye's heart is more convinced of the temple.
"It turned out to be a vow, a few donors please!" The smile on the face of the welcoming monk remained unchanged, and he did not become courteous because Zhao Er Ye said that he wanted to repay his wishes, but it made Hui Ya nod in her heart. That's what a monk looks like.
The monk climbed the stairs. After walking up the high bluestone steps, the gate of the temple stands in front of you. The vermilion gate was open, and there was an endless stream of pilgrims. They may be sad or happy, but they are all very quiet and pious.
Unlike the bustling Yamashita temple market, as soon as she stepped into the temple, Hui Ya felt as if she had stepped into a new world. This temple is not very big. From the gate, you can see two or three courtyards. But it is very quiet and solemn, tall and stout ancient trees stand, showing the long history of this temple.
"Our temple has been here since the old days, and now hundreds of years have passed. These white pines were planted when the temple was built, and they are now hundreds of years old. "The monk is very good at observing words and feelings. Seeing the old lady and young master of this rich and noble family, they all care about the appearance of this young lady. Seeing Huiya looking at the ancient tree, she introduced the ancient tree by the way.
"I see!" Hui Ya looked at the dry and strong ancient pine, nodded approvingly, after experiencing the warmth and coldness of human feelings, Hui Ya felt more and more that this old house, old objects and even ancient trees that have accumulated and precipitated over time, are precious.
"In front of this is the Heavenly King Palace, after the Heavenly King Palace enters, it is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the west is the Guanyin Palace, and the east is the Jizo Palace, I don't know which temple the lady wants to repay?" After introducing this temple, the monk asked politely.
"It's the Kannon Temple." Zheng replied sincerely, because his wish was fulfilled, the smile on his face was sincere and warm, he squeezed Hui Ya's hand, looked at his daughter's red little face, and felt that he had no regrets in his heart.
"Okay, please come with the poor monk." The monk nodded, and showed the way to Zhao Erye's family, and he was not cold when he walked, introducing the temples passing by while walking, and there were many anecdotes, which fascinated Huiya for a while.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Guanyin Palace, and the monk chanted the Buddha number to the Zhao family with his hands folded, "Everyone, this is the Guanyin Palace, if you need to burn incense and make a vow, you only need to summon the little novice next to you, and the poor monk is gone." ”
"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Erye and the others returned the salute one after another, and after speaking, they entered the Guanyin Hall together.
After Zheng entered the Guanyin Palace, he pulled Huiya to kneel on the futon reverently, with words in his mouth, tears in his eyes, obviously very grateful to Guanyin Bodhisattva for saving the suffering and returning Huiya to himself.
Huiya also knelt on the futon, looking up at the tall and compassionate Bodhisattva statue, and her heart was filled with warmth and gratitude for a moment. If it weren't for Mama Zheng's sacrifice of her life to protect her, she would have been a dry bone in the mountains, and if it weren't for Aunt Cui's careful care and care for herself, she might still be just an orphan girl in the vast mountains, with no one to protect her.
I can return to my mother's side and enjoy the thoughtfulness and care of my family, all because of the people who love me and have warm feelings.
Huiya folded her hands and looked at the Bodhisattva reverently, praying that her grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, brother and Aunt Cui's family would be safe and healthy, that Mama Zheng could rest in peace under the nine springs, and that she could grow up safely and marry a good husband.
Zheng repaid his vow in front of the Bodhisattva, kowtowed three times sincerely, and let Zhao Erye find the monk who knew the guest just now, and presented the prepared 1,000 taels of silver.
"When she was desperate, she was guided by the Bodhisattva, but now her wish has been fulfilled, and the believer will donate a golden body to the Bodhisattva as she promised when she made her wish." Zheng said with a smile, his face was full of gratitude and piety, although he knew that Huiya could come back safely, it was not all the credit of the Bodhisattva, but Zheng was still very firm about the matter of repaying the vow.
Huiya thought of Mama Zheng's kindness to herself, and told her mother that she wanted to light a lantern for Mama Zheng. Zheng thought about his grandmother, and died in the mountains in order to protect Huiya, and he was also full of emotion in his heart, so naturally he would not be unacceptable.
spent 1,000 taels of silver to repay the vow, and spent 50 taels of silver to light the everlasting lamp for Mama Zheng, and Zheng and Huiya had nothing to do. As for the lottery and the like, Zheng wanted Huiya to do it, but Huiya thought that she came this time mainly to repay her vows, and then she was insincere, so she didn't respond, and only said that she would talk about it next time.
I heard that there is a clear spring in the back mountain of this Yuquan Temple, and the family discussed, thinking that the opportunity was rare, so they went to the back mountain to see the spring. (To be continued)
