There is a ladder between the green ridge mountain, from the bottom of the mountain straight up, there has never been a number of people to clear the number of steps of the mountain ladder, it is very steep, it is called the ladder of heaven by the people of the world. Go up the mountain, halfway up the mountain is paved with thick and neat bluestone slabs, walk up a few steps, is more than a dozen layers of granite steps, the stone steps meander, at the end is a tall arch of golden silk nanmu archway, mottled wood, there are four strong wild grass fonts on it - Lingtai thatched cottage.

After the torii, walk a few steps forward, turn left, and around the corner, you can see the mountain gate on the mottled old stone wall of the thatched cottage. Step into the mountain gate, pass through a nine-curved bamboo corridor, face a deep pool, the pond water is green, in the middle of the water, there are several green lotus, with green and white buds, every time in the September season, the green leaves are spread, a pond of lotus incense, smoke far and near.

On the opposite shore of Qingchi is the square inch hall where the old man of Yichen preaches the scriptures.

Walk through the bamboo corridor on the pond, then, to the left, turn in, walk through a courtyard built by the mountain in the west chamber, out of the moon-shaped courtyard gate, through a long aisle shaded by plane trees, and then go to the right, is a garden surrounded by a fence wall, overgrown frangipani orchids and purple vines, along the fence wall walk a third of the pillar incense time, that is, to the back door of the fence wall, gently push the door out of the door, is a path paved with fine bluestone, along the stone road winding forward to half a pillar of incense, you can come to a bird singing and fragrant woods。 Go to the edge of the grove and look west, not far away, not far away, is the Forgotten Worry River that has been flowing quietly down the peak for 100,000 years.

The Forget Worry River flows gently from the left of the cottage, and then flows straight down 3,000 feet along the cliff in the middle of the mountain, hangs Yinchuan, breaks through the white mist surging in the mountains, roars and rushes away at the foot of the mountain, looks at it from afar, the mist is pervasive, the waves are brilliant, it is very magnificent and magnificent. Many times, the sun is fine, the sun is faint and shaded, and between the wooden leaves, it is quietly sprinkled in the Lingtai Thatched Cottage in the mountains, sprinkled on the Forget Worry River in the middle of the mountain, and the green lotus in the middle of the mountain......

Every night, the blue and black clouds surround the Qinggang Mountain, and the stars in the sky are far away and very sparse.

The Lingtai Thatched Cottage is located in the middle of the mountain, isolating the red dust, like a black silhouette with a little shimmer. The glazed blue lanterns of the square inch hall still illuminate the square inch of the hall.

The night was dark, and people were asleep. The bright moon is clear, hanging alone outside the clouds, occasionally there will be green clouds to cover, and then disperse, just like a god's eyes, opening and closing blinking, circulating, from bright and light, the silent figure also moved from the east to the middle, and then moved to the west, hanging on the canopy in the distance, quietly sprinkling the Qinghui thinly between the square inches of the Lingtai in the middle of the mountain......

The bell of the morning will always ring at that moment, waking up the silence of the mountains, and in the echo of one after another, there is peace. When the stars gradually faded and the moon gradually disappeared at the end of the Forgotten Worry River, the grass hall was already brightly lit.

The morning light outside the hall is faint, and the warm light of the green lights in the hall illuminates a row of solemn and orderly figures, solemn and pious, and slowly comes to the square inch hall, standing in shifts. Chanting in the morning hall is a daily lesson for students.

At the beginning of the three chimes, the teacher saluted, inquired, and stood with his palms. The incense mist in the main hall is shrouded, and the bamboo board is gently knocked, sounding into a rhythmic syllable, accompanied by the solemn chant mantra, and the aftermath fills the hall, slowly spreading, like the sacred and warm interpretation of the gentle words gently awaken the sleeping heart......

After getting up early and finishing my homework, I went to the dining hall to eat, and after a short rest, it was time for class to listen to the teaching. From 8 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock in the middle of the afternoon sun, there are three classes, each with a 10-minute break. The curriculum is divided into five categories: Mind, Taoism, Buddhism and Literature, and Miscellaneous.

There are Confucianism in the study of mind, such as Gewu, Zhixing, and Heaven and Man.

Taoism has cosmology such as morality, homogeneity, and nature.

Buddhism has sectarian studies such as Enlightenment, Three Treatises, and Tiantai.

Literature includes secular studies such as writing, philosophy, and law.

Miscellaneous studies include mathematics, military science, vertical and horizontal and other hundred schools.

During class, students first put their palms together and recite "Eyes and minds, mind and self, knowledge and action are one", bow to the master and ask questions, and then sit down on the ground. The so-called Dharma is not passed on lightly, and we must respect heaven and earth, respect our fathers and teachers, respect traditions, and respect ourselves, which is the beginning of planting a good karma in our hearts. Maintain normality in every bit of the day, there are rules in every word and deed, let him change the clouds and clouds, I laugh at myself at the light breeze of the clouds, so that I can be peaceful and safe in my heart. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of karmic fruits are all Taoism, and they also achieve a lifetime.

In the interval of rest, the sun warmly falls on the gentle time in the small courtyard, the mountain breeze blows, the swaying Bodhi tree stretches the leaves, and the precocious green and yellow Bodhi gently falls on the floor of the courtyard, and also falls in the time that slowly wanders away. The figures of three or five little children jumped happily on the green stone slab, and their fingers went to the ground to gently twist the Bodhi seed, quietly feeling the gifts given by heaven and earth at this time, joyful gratitude, and warm heart. In the shallow time, peaceful and quiet, serene as ever, live up to the youth, live up to the years, rooted in a lotus in the heart, the fragrance is wrapped under the wrist, in the fragrance of ease and elegance......

The class ended near 11 o'clock, and all the students stood up and bowed to the Master, thanked the Master for his teachings and solved doubts. When the students pass through the hall, they need to recite the offering mantra and give food in ten directions, and then they can eat later, which has a sense of ritual of respecting heaven and earth.

At noon, during the lunch break, you can also take advantage of the warm sun to quietly shine on the mountain road, forget about the riverside, and accompany a group of children, or run and jump, or stroll, feel the peace between heaven and earth, and the soul is leisurely and comfortable. Quiet level lake, Bodhi Po Sao, mountain maple like fire, clouds and smoke against each other, a wisp of Zen, a point of style, protecting countless sentient beings. The beautiful time, the heart is the same, how dare you easily let it down!

Time is like a clear wave flowing on the fingertips, rippling waves in the deep sea of thought, and then projecting a touch of warm sunlight into the boundless depths of the mind, with those faint rays of light, gradually calming the dazed, hesitant, and indescribable cold depression, at this time, the calm mind sea, reflecting a true clear shadow, pure and unhindered.

As the children on the Qinggeng Mountain grow older, they occasionally lose their greedy mind to play, so they come back by walking in twos and threes, if there is nothing to do, they will catch chess and play the flute with three or five playmates, or describe the poetry of the landscape, or quiet down, read a book or write a paragraph, it is also good; if you are very idle, you might as well lay out the rice paper, and describe the scriptures with a wave, and see the clarity of the mind in a stroke, cultivate a kind of stability, and raise a spirit of leisure, but it is also a pleasure. In this way, it is nothing more than the nature of a child. Living in the mountains and countryside, in this process of growing up from a child to a teenager, even if there are occasional stupid things, it is understandable, and the child's playful nature is nothing. When I got tired of playing, I took a short lunch break. Perhaps, this is also the most beautiful reason for the entire unguessed boyhood.

Wake up, consciously go to the lecture hall, listen to the teachings and learn. There are two classes from 2 to 4 p.m. in the afternoon.

Occasionally, one or two children would take the risk of secretly drawing a picture of the Master's back on the podium, and then secretly pass it on, covering their mouths and snickering. Sometimes, when the Master talks about the wonderful things, he will also use the changes of supernatural powers to make all kinds of metaphors to facilitate explanations and enlighten students to understand them.

On the wall behind the podium, there has been hanging the handwritten calligraphy of the master, "the unity of knowledge and action, seeing the nature and the heart", always reminding the children to see their own hearts and find their own nature just like watching the scenery near the water. The words hanging on both sides, "Cultivating Qi and propagating the Dharma as a housework, and governing the world and benefiting the world is a career" are also always warning the children, learning and practicing have responsibilities, time is fleeting, do not slack off.

At the end of the lecture, after the class, the students arranged for the evening hall. Combined with the rituals of Zen Buddhism, it generally takes about 45 minutes from the Mida Sutra to Mengshan for almsgiving, turning the scriptures, and taking refuge. The sound of the prayer wheel over and over again rises and falls in the syllables of the bronze bell, and the sound knocks on the heart, so that the soul is free of vain and dust, and travels in the solemn world.

The thatched cottage of the Lingtai shrouded in dusk, exudes the brilliance of tranquility and peace, and the colorful clouds drifting over the middle of the mountain reflect each other, the afterglow of the sunset is obliquely projected, smearing the far edge of the clouds with a layer of gold edges, beautiful and warm, there is a kind of peaceful artistic conception across the heart,—— the feeling of home, is ironing and warm, yes, if there is no home, how can you settle down? Such a beautiful artistic conception is a kind of serene and quiet feelings, lingering in the heart.

To cherish the moment, you must feel it in your heart.

At around five o'clock, after dinner, the young children can also go to hide and seek in the back mountains and forests. Older children can take a walk alone, go to the river to sit and sit, think about the rights and wrongs of the day, or enjoy the open and arbitrary leisure of the mind, send a wisp of acquaintance, spread to the distant time and space, and chat about each other's cold.

After the sunset, it is finally time to return to heaven. The quietly flowing Forget Worry River is also gradually disappearing into the black night sky, and the night is gradually annihilating the mountains and forests, and occasionally a few red-lipped birds that return late pass by, leaving a few chirping aftersounds, which shows the silence of the grass hall, blending with each other in the cool night air, and not abrupt. The darkness of the night sometimes does not last, and the silvery moon sometimes replaces the sun and radiates a clear light. It's just that, compared to the warmth of the sun, the moon is lonely and cold.

There are generally no evening classes in the lecture hall, and diligent students can go to the evening study, where the books are open and can be read at will, but because many of the scriptures are solitary, therefore, they must be put back in their original positions after reading, and they must not be taken out of the scripture hall without permission.

The night of Qinggeng Mountain is very quiet, and even the birds fall asleep early.

When the children return to their rooms, some of the older children will sit cross-legged on the bed, digest and absorb the knowledge they have learned during the day, and repeatedly polish and practice; some children will set up the lazy table and put a few books that they like to read, so that they can gradually immerse themselves in the books, enjoy the different scenery in the world of words, or ponder, or hang their eyebrows, or settle down, and be at peace.

The night cast from heaven was too dark.

The green light is swaying, and the light that radiates is faint. The human heart tends to be bright, and it can also adapt to darkness.

The insects in the mountains and fields are chirping softly, the moon has hung in the sky, and the silver and white light is sprinkled in front of the window, and the children have already slept, because they will continue to practice tomorrow morning to welcome the coming light......
