Chapter 750: Daishan Temple Meditation (Medium)
"Thank you." Zhang Cambodia walked in lightly.
There are only five monks in Daishan Temple, and the abbot is a Zen master of about 60 years old, with a clear face and black and white pupils, who is knocking on a wooden fish while reciting scriptures.
When the Zen master heard the footsteps, he raised his head, and when he saw Zhang Khan Zhi's arrival, he put down the wooden fish mallet with his right hand, and put the sutra book in his left hand on the desk, and put his hands together: "Amitabha." The donor came to our temple, and the pengsheng was shining. ”
After Zhang Cambodia's salute, he said bluntly: "Master, I am also a person from this land, and I passed by the mountain today, and I came to your temple inadvertently, so I came to visit the master." ”
"Ah, I see." Seeing that Zhang Cambodia was sweating profusely, the Zen master raised his finger and pointed to the futon opposite, "Donor, please take a seat." ”
Zhang Cambodia did as he was instructed and sat down on the futon.
The little monk sent fragrant tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhang Cambodia.
Zen Master: "The donor invites tea, this is the camellia grown in our temple." ”
The heat in the cup was rising, and a fresh fragrance filled the air.
Zhang Cambodia picked up the teacup and took a sip, it was really mellow and delicious, the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and the fatigue was reduced a lot.
The green tea planted on the top of this mountain has long collected the aura of heaven and earth and absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, which is different from other places, which is also reasonable.
After Zhang Cambodia drank the fragrant tea, he and the Zen master came to the house.
Zhang Cambodia gave him a big salute and asked, "May I ask the master's honorific name?" ”
The Zen master clasped his hands together and saluted: "The poor monk must be called." ”
Huineng: "Ah, it turned out to be a certain master. Listening to the master's accent, it should be a northerner, where is the master's ancestral hometown? ”
The Zen master must have raised his hand to the north: "The poor monk is a person from Shangqiu, Henan. But it's been more than 20 years since I left the Central Plains. ”
Zhang Cambodia was puzzled: "The world is long, and the red dust is reckless." The land of Kyushu is heavy and the mountains are restored, and there are countless famous mountains and rivers in the north and south of the river, and the ancient temples and jungles. Master, why did you come from the Central Plains thousands of miles away to learn Buddhism and practice meditation in the secluded place of Tianlu Mountain? ”
Zen Master Certain: "There's a big reason why I'm here. ”
Zhang Cambodia humbly said: "I'm listening. ”
The Zen master must have narrowed his eyes and recalled: "When the poor monk was meditating in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, Taishi Ling, who was in charge of the celestial phenomena in the imperial court, was my fellow villager. Once, after he came to seek Buddha, he quietly said to the poor monk that a few years ago, he watched the sky at night and found that a white auspicious light suddenly rushed from Lingnan to the universe, shining brightly and not dissipating for a long time. He was both excited and puzzled: this auspicious omen was a once-in-a-millennium and once-in-a-lifetime auspicious omen, indicating that a noble man who would go down in history would be present in Lingnan. So I left Luoyang, the eastern capital, and headed for Xinzhou. ”
Zhang Cambodia: "Master, are you so persistent and confident in this? ”
"Amitabha, people have popularity, and Buddha has Buddha's fate. Cultivation is all based on self-feeling, and I am destined to have a relationship with NSW in this life. "The Zen master must put his hands together and talk eloquently," the ancestor Kunlun Mountain sent out the three dragon veins of Gen, Zhen and Xun. Confucius stopped at Mount Tai, and Lao Tzu stopped at Songshan. The poor monks traveled all over the thousands of rivers and mountains of Kyushu, and finally came to the new state region, climbing the mountain to find the dragon during the day, and visiting the local people at night. Seeing that the southern Xunlong walked 20,000 miles to Yunwu Mountain, and then crossed the fields and veins, and walked to Tianlu Mountain, which was forty zhang higher than Yunwu Mountain, it was determined that it was the Fengshui Taizu Mountain here, and it was also the end of the dragon vein in Kyushu - Lingnan Canglong Cave. ”
Zhang Cambodia: "You mean the dragon vein?" ”
The Zen master must have nodded: "Not bad!" Originally, the dragon vein was the place where the emperor was born; But the auspicious clouds here are so serene, so soft, and there is no domineering spirit of the emperor dominating the world. The charm here is more graceful than that of the king, and it is quite free and easy. When the poor monk climbed the highest Tianlu Mountain on the coast of the South China Sea, he saw the Zen energy, just like the Mani beads held by the Buddha at the Lingshan Meeting, illuminating the universe. A stream of nectar was discharged into the city of Yuncheng, Xinzhou. You see, the Tianlu Temple over there and my Daishan Temple are horns of each other, and there is the potential of the two horns of the green dragon. The poor monk carefully inspected one of the hills, the top of the mountain is green, and there is a big strange stone with a crack in the middle, which is like a book from heaven. Yamagata resembles the purple belt of the official robe of the prime minister of the first rank of the court. When asked about the local mountain people, they replied that the name of the mountain was Wenqu Peak. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Cambodia was also taken aback, and asked: "Ah, the master is full of wealth and grandiose opinions." You can observe astronomy and geography, and I hope you will give me a detailed account of the geography of this mountain. ”
A Zen master: "Since the donor asked today, I can't hide it, the poor monk has learned the art of Kanyu from the masters of Buddhism and Taoism. ”
Zhang Cambodia put his hands together and made another big salute: "I hope that the master will not hesitate to give advice to enlighten the foolish." ”
The Zen master must have raised his finger and pointed outward, and said: "You see that this day Lushan is hundreds of zhang high, looking down on Gaozhou in the south, looking at Duanzhou in the north, spanning hundreds of miles, like a huge screen, more like a lying green dragon, blocking the typhoon blowing from the side of the ocean, bless this area of Xinzhou from invasion, and the people of Li from the suffering of wind disasters. ”
Zhang Cambodia agreed: "Indeed, there are very few typhoons in Xinzhou, even if a typhoon arrives occasionally, it has become the end of a strong crossbow. This is all hindered by the barrier of Tianlu Mountain. The master is indeed knowledgeable, talented, proficient in the art of public opinion, and carefully examines astronomy and geography. ”
The Zen master must have taken a breath and continued: "Also, Tianlu Mountain has abundant rainfall every year, and in the Sensen Canyon, the green waves are turning the sky, and the trees are shady. There are waterfalls and springs everywhere, deep streams and jade streams, and the rivers that flow directly outside the mountains nourish the rich land of Xinzhou. Even though the sun is scorching and the surrounding area is drought, the Xinzhou region is still nourished by the sweet springs of Tianlu Mountain, and will not be harmed by the drying up of ponds and cracking of fields. ”
Zhang Cambodia: "I have heard the old people in the village say that our new state has never been worried about the drought. But what if it rains for days? ”
