Mengshan Giant Buddha is a cliff Buddha statue located behind the Mengshan Kaihua Temple in the northwest outside Jinyang City, not far behind the Jin Ancestral Hall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It is nearly 50 meters high, and the head of the Buddha alone is almost 12 meters.

In the Hereafter, it was destroyed, and the head of the Buddha was gone. In 1983, the government staff of the local geographical names census rediscovered the Mengshan Giant Buddha, and later restored and rebuilt the Buddha's head to be able to reappear to the world.

At the beginning of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty, a new Buddhist pavilion was built in the Kaihua Temple to protect the Big Buddha and renamed Jingming Temple. In 620 A.D. (the third year of Tang Wude), Tang Gaozu Li Yuan once came here to worship the Buddha and changed the name of the temple back to Kaihua Temple.

"What kind of wind are you pumping, climb the mountain at this time" Walking on the stone steps that could not be seen, Wu Yuanqing had a black line.

"Nonsense, who sues you for climbing the mountain, we are going to the Kaihua Temple to worship the Buddha," Li Chengqian corrected.

"That's not what you said when you sent me to inform me." Wu Yuanqing said with a dark face.

"Yes, then I can't remember clearly" Li Chengqian had a look on his face, I just lied to you.

In front of Wu Yuanqing, he never hides it, let alone puts on the prince's shelf, maybe because their acquaintance started from the trough.

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, Wu Yuanqing simply stopped talking and asked, "The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony will be held in a few days, don't you prepare for it."

"Ready, so I'm here to worship the Buddha," Li Chengqian said.

"Rub, why did you come to Shangxiang to ask me, it's too hot, let our brothers and sisters accompany you to suffer, you really can't bear it" Wu Yuanqing glanced at the eldest girl and the second girl who was sitting in a sedan chair behind him and was laughing with the two princesses.

"Don't blame me, it's the idea of the two of them to call the eldest girl and the second girl, it's Sister Xiangcheng's idea, but it's none of my business" Li Chengqian unhurriedly cleared himself up, "Originally, I also called Wang Lun's brothers and sisters, but I didn't expect that after returning from Liaozhou, the two of them grounded the old lady, especially Miss Wang, who was not allowed to leave the house for half a step."

"What's wrong, why do you want to be grounded" is about Wang Ziyu, Wu Yuanqing asked anxiously.

"I don't know about this," Li Chengqian spread his hands.

When Wu Yuanqing was about to be paralyzed, they finally climbed to the location of the Kaihua Temple.

The door of the vermilion temple was wide open, and the presiding monk Yuan Hui led a pole monk who had been waiting for a long time.

After Yuan Hui greeted Li Chengqian, he led everyone into the temple, and Yuan Hui had to introduce him everywhere he went.

Li Chengqian didn't know whether he was really interested or pretended, but anyway, he seemed to be listening to it with relish, and he interjected from time to time to ask a few questions.

Wu Yuanqing didn't have such good patience, and after listening to it for a while, he felt his head dizzy, and he yawned from time to time.

Wu Yuanqing's appearance was naturally seen by Yuan Hui, and he thought it was disrespectful to the Buddha, and his face was a little unpleasant.

When everyone arrived at the main hall, that is, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Li Chengqian respectfully offered incense and prayed in front of the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, and then let the inner serve with a thousand pieces of incense oil.

When it was Wu Yuanqing's turn, he was also meticulous in worshipping incense, and he couldn't find a single flaw, but when it was time to give money for sesame oil, Yuanhui blackened his face again.

I saw Wu Yuanqing take out the purse hanging from his waist for a long time, took out ten yuan and handed it to the little monk who was waiting to receive the sesame oil money, and said with a smile: "I went out in a hurry today, I didn't bring any money, don't be too little for these ten yuan."

The little monk did not accept the money, but turned his head to look at Yuan Hui with a forced face.

Wu Yuanqing's hand was stretched out like that, looking at Yuan Hui with a smile.

It's not that he deliberately made trouble, it's that he really didn't bring any money when he went out, and he really didn't need to prepare money with the prince.

Originally, this was not a big deal, the sesame oil money was with the incense people's wishes, and they could give as much as they wanted, even if they gave less, the monks were not satisfied, and they could only do so, but the little monk's hesitation made things complicated as soon as he turned his head and didn't answer, and Wu Yuanqing began to bar.

Seeing that the scene became a little embarrassing, Li Chengqian hurriedly smiled and relieved Wu Yuanqing and said: "Blame me, blame me, it's that I didn't make it clear when I notified it, I have already prepared Yuanqing's sesame oil money" After speaking, he glared at the waiter: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and offer the sesame oil money."

The chamberlain was dumbfounded, thinking to himself, prince, when did you let me prepare.

Wu Yuanqing stopped Li Chengqian and didn't let him continue to embarrass the poor servant: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this sesame oil money should be from me, how can I let you prepare it for me." And I'm not rich, even though it's not much, but it's also my heart for the Buddha."

Then he continued to look at Yuan Hui with a smile but full of provocation: "Do you take this ten cents or not, why, I don't look down on it."

The irony of these words is that everyone can hear it, and its intention is to punish the heart, and it is clear that these monks are greedy for money.

Greed is considered by Buddhists to be one of the three poisons, and Buddhism believes that sentient beings live in the world, using their eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and other organs to contact the outside world, producing sensations such as color, sound, fragrance, taste, and touch. These feelings can arouse the desires of sentient beings, so they are called the five desires. If you cling to these five desires and have a heart of love, you will become greedy, and you must naturally abstain from greed when you practice Buddhism, otherwise it will be contrary to the teachings.

Kaihua Temple as a famous temple in Jinyang, Yuan Hui as the most famous monk in the temple, which people who come to the temple on weekdays are not respected, even the old lady of the Wang family who has been worshiping Kaihua Temple came to the title of a master.

Now he was mercilessly squeezed by Wu Yuanqing, and Yuan Hui's face turned black into the bottom of the pot.

But this matter was obviously ignored by them, Yuan Hui couldn't say anything about Wu Yuanqing, so he could only apologize and personally take the ten yuan, and then reprimand the little monk.

Everyone is like this, Wu Yuanqing naturally won't hold on to it, and generally give Li Chengqian some face.

But Yuanhui had a deeper bad feeling for Wu Yuanqing, and after taking Li Chengqian to see the temple, he left under the pretext of having something.

At noon, Wu Yuanqing originally thought that he was going down the mountain, but he didn't expect Li Chengqian to have to eat food in the temple.

After accompanying them to eat a tasteless boiled dish, the group took a nap in the meditation room arranged by the monk.

After waking up, Li Chengqian had to go to see the Mengshan Giant Buddha a mile behind the temple.

Wu Yuanqing was reluctant to go because the weather was too hot, and Li Chengqian said in a heartfelt way that his imperial grandfather had been there, and since he was here, he couldn't help but follow in the footsteps of his imperial grandfather.

In later generations, Wu Yuanqing had only heard of but had never seen the Mengshan Giant Buddha, only knew that it was quite tall and big.

From a distance, it also felt quite big, and when they climbed in front of the Buddha for half an hour out of breath, they knew that it was better to meet than to be famous.

This Buddha statue is really big enough, the whole Buddha statue is chiseled against the mountain, even the pedestal of the upper and lower sides, the whole Buddha statue can have nearly 20 zhang, and the person standing under it looks extremely small.

Because the Buddha statue was excavated in the Northern Qi period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the whole image is plump, the physique is strong, the clothing lines are refined and smooth, the statue has a strong sense of wholeness, and the Buddhist atmosphere is strong.

If you want Wu Yuanqing to describe it, it is kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and it makes people feel good when you look at it.

There is a large Buddha pavilion hall on the mountain behind the Big Buddha, which stretches for hundreds of meters, and is even bigger and more beautiful than the Kaihua Temple.

Li Chengqian was overjoyed and shouted that the trip was worthwhile.

After looking at the hall on the side of the Buddha, the sky was already dark.

Wu Yuanqing reminded him that it was time to go down the mountain, but Li Chengqian was reluctant to leave, saying that he would prepare for the sacrifice here and fast in advance.

Wu Yuanqing naturally didn't want to mess around with him, so he was ready to lead his younger brothers and sisters down the mountain and go home.

As a result, Xiangcheng Changle and the two stopped him from taking the eldest girl and the second girl, and Wu Yuanqing saw that the eldest girl and the second girl were also a little tempted to stay, so he could only agree to stay for one night.

At dinner, Yuan Hui came here after finishing the evening class and talked with him.

After eating, Li Chengqian knelt in front of the Buddha and fasted, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang accompanied him, and a little monk was arranged by Yuan Hui to wait for the dispatch.

Xiangcheng Changle and the four female dependents of the eldest girl and the second girl stayed in the meditation room and chatted about the things that the little girls were interested in, Xiangcheng was older and still cared about the purity of Buddhism, but the remaining three were little girls who would not think too much, and laughed as usual, giggling and crisp laughter sounded from time to time, and there was no consciousness of being in the pure land of Buddhism at all.

Li Chengqian, don't look at it as a little comic in front of Wu Yuanqing, but when fasting, he is solemn and pious.

Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang are not good, and there is no sitting statue cross-legged, and the little monk who is teasing and meditating with his eyebrows and eyebrows is teasing.

The little monk looked at the nose with his eyes, his nose looked at the heart, his mind was concentrated, and his heart was not distracted and he was silently reciting the Buddhist scriptures.

When the time slowly came, the lamp in front of the Buddha statue was on and off and slowly dimmed, it turned out that there was not much lamp oil, and the little monk was ready to get up and fill the lamp oil.

At this moment, Princess Xiangcheng quietly pushed the door and walked in.

It turned out that Xiangcheng saw that the three little girls had fallen asleep, and he was thinking about his younger brother, let's see if it was time to sleep, and he couldn't kneel in front of the Buddha all night.

After coming in, he saw that the little monk was about to get up and add lamp oil, Xiangcheng waved his hand at him, and smiled and motioned for himself to fill it.

Xiangcheng is not eligible to participate in the worship of the heavens, but her younger brother helps to add lamp oil when he is fasting, which is also considered her to do a little bit of care for this matter.

The great poet Du Mu wrote a seven-character quatrain, saying: More than thirteen are curling, and the cardamom tips are in early February. Spring breeze ten miles of Yangzhou Road, roll up the bead curtain is not as good.

Princess Xiangcheng was only thirteen or fourteen at this time, and it was the cardamom years when it was better to roll up the bead curtain.

In Wu Yuanqing's eyes, although she is beautiful, she is just a little girl with sharp corners in Xiaohe, in the eyes of the little monk, Her Royal Highness the princess with bright eyes and bright teeth is like a fairy when she smiles like a fairy under the candlelight, and her eyes will not turn for a while.

Xiangcheng was a little shy by the little monk, and couldn't help covering his face with one hand and plucking the lamp with the other to fill the oil.

Looking at the shy Xiangcheng and then at the stunned little monk, Wu Yuanqing leaned over to the little monk and whispered: "It's good-looking, haven't you seen it?"

The little monk nodded meaningfully: "Good-looking."

After listening to the little monk's answer, Wu Yuanqing casually chanted: "The clouds cover half of the moon, and the jade hand dials the golden lamp." When I think of mortal things, I don't want to be a monk. Little monk, your heart is moved."
