Chapter 749: Daishan Temple Interpretation Zen (I)

Zhang Cambodia's chanting from the monk is like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, like lightning strikes and enlightenment, the whole person seems to have entered a new realm......

Zhang Cambodia walked on the rugged mountain road of Tianlu Mountain with nine bends and eighteen bends. At this time, on Tianlu Mountain, the sky is clear after the rain, and the blue sky is like washing, like a piece of jasper.

In the silence, the sound of cicadas pierces through the rocks.

Zhang Cambodia went to Shacun to visit Xian today, passing by Tianlu Mountain, not wanting to meet Taoist priests and monks in the mountains, his eyes were wide open, and unconsciously, he was alone in the mountains leisurely, only to see the trees in the forest are chaotic, and the fallen leaves are like blankets; Beside the hillside road, wildflowers are blooming.

The surrounding scenery is so beautiful, Zhang Cambodia walked into a landscape picture, walked farther and farther, suddenly heard a horse neighing behind, looked back, saw his horse neighing behind and ran over.

When Zhang Cambodia saw his horse, he felt a little tired. As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Cambodia waited for the horse to come to his side, flew on the horse, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and raised the four hooves of the healthy horse, and came to the northern foot of the halfway mountainside of Tianlu Mountain.

Zhang Cambodia looked out on the horse, and saw that in the distance on the mountainside, there was a blue-gray tile ridge hidden in the sea of clouds and dense forests.

"Ah, isn't that a temple?" Zhang Khan Zhi had long heard Liang Shiyuan say that there were two monasteries in Tianlu Mountain, Tianlu Temple and Daishan Temple, and the abbot of the temple was quite high.

Driven by an inexplicable thought, Zhang Cambodia rode a horse, climbed up along the winding mountain path, turned a high slope, and suddenly brightened up in front of him: the granite mountain gate, and the three big characters engraved on the horizontal plaque "Daishan Temple" were impressive. On both sides of the mountain gate is engraved a couplet: "The ancient stream cold spring listens to the sound of apes, and the green peak of Bixiu lies in the smoke." ”

The ancient trees in front of the temple are firm, there are two hundred-year-old Bodhi trees, a wind and frost attack, the body of the tree is cracked, with the strength of the cang, so that this temple is more secluded, wood ancient.

A few egrets, leisurely soaring over the linden tree.

Daishan Temple and another temple not far away, Tianlu Temple, are far away. One mountain and two temples stand on Tianlu Mountain like twin stars.

The Daishan Temple on the mountain was built in the first year of Tang Zhenguan (627) by Zen Master Dinghui to raise funds. In other words, Huineng was born in Longshan ten years after the completion of Daishan Temple.

Daishan Temple was built on the slope of the mountainside downstream of the second and third peaks of Tianlu Mountain. There are two gourd-shaped peaks in front of the right, facing the peak of Shengzu Peak, and facing the main peak of Tianlu Mountain in the back. Overlooking the surroundings, the weather is thousands, Fengmen Ao, Huangwo, Ge Chong, Wuping, and even Yuncheng can also be seen. On the earth, the rivers and Han are staggered, the Qianmo is vertical and horizontal, the fertile fields are patchy, and the cottages are dotted in the middle.

Daishan Temple is located on the right side of the ancient post road leading to Kaiping and Enping, and it is unique for Dinghui Zen Master to build the temple site here. He saw that there was still the peak of Tianlu Mountain behind him as a backer, and he felt that his Taoism was not enough to reach the highest place, so he left room when choosing a site: he thought that if there was a great man behind him, the highest position of the mountain peak should be left to him.

The scale of Daishan Temple is not large, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Every part of the temple is exquisitely built and original.

Zhang Cambodia stopped the horse five miles away from the temple and walked into the mountain gate of Daishan Temple, the environment was quiet and quiet. The ground is paved with stones that can be seen everywhere in Tianlu Mountain, and on both sides are young bamboo fences, and the grass and trees are verdant. Nine mile incense and osmanthus exude a refreshing fragrance, and butterflies and bees fly around in the flowers, busy.

A gust of mountain wind blew, and the music of the hanging bell in front of the eaves was accompanied by a burst of "Bangbang" wooden fish sound from the main hall, which seemed to be Sanskrit sound.

The surrounding trees, bamboo forests, and flowers seem to be quietly listening, and it looks Zen and quiet.

A childish little monk greeted him, folded his hands, and saluted: "The donor is polite." ”

After Zhang Cambodia returned the salute to the little monk, he said, "Excuse me, the abbot is here?" ”

The little monk pointed his hand inward: "Master is chanting and practicing meditation in the hall." ”
