Lay men and women give more charity to make good karma in the next life.

As one of the most solemn Buddhist festivals in Dali in a year, the Buddha Bathing Festival is a big day for the people of the whole country to carnival together in this country where the whole country believes in Buddhism.

The Buddha bathing festival is also known as the Buddha's birthday, the legend is to celebrate the birth of the Buddha, of course, the truth of the legend can not be verified, but hundreds of years of development, the Buddha bathing festival in Dali, has become one of the most solemn festivals in a year.

On the eighth day of the first month of April, the sun has not risen, the world is not white, the men, women and children of Dali have already gotten up early in the night, bathed and changed clothes, burned incense and chanted scriptures, and went out of the house with piety, towards the direction of Dali Buddhist holy land and Tianlong Temple, and quickly gathered.

For the residents of Dali, the Buddha Bathing Festival is a major festival, and for players who enter the game, the Bathing Buddha Festival may just be an opportunity to see the grand occasion of Dali Buddhism.

After all, for most players, they may not know that there will be a sect of Buddhism in the game before entering the game, after all, in the real world, Buddhism is only a small sect, and players simply can't imagine that in the game, in Dali, Buddhism will become the state religion, and Buddhism martial arts is also the top existence in the rivers and lakes.

During the Bathing Buddha Festival, as a person at the level of Dali's business card, the former Dali Emperor Yideng Master, naturally could not live in seclusion on the nameless hill, as early as the beginning of April, Yideng Master has taken the four disciples of Yuqiao Ploughing and Reading secretly back to Tianlong Temple.

Tianlong Temple, as the holy land of Dali, is located in the Diancang Mountain outside the city of Dali, the building covers an extremely wide area, the temples are lined up one after another, magnificent and magnificent, the atmosphere is extraordinary.

After yesterday's cleaning, the Tianlong Temple at this time has been from the inside to the outside, a new look, look at the past, the whole Tianlong Temple, the pavilion Buddha hall, candlesticks and curtains, do not see the slightest bit of dust, garden grass and trees, rockery and flowing water, also do not see the slightest variegation.

As the first large-scale group task issued to players who worship in Tianlong Temple, even if it is just cleaning, it also allows the majority of players to come into contact with people or things that are usually difficult to reach, and gain a lot of surprises.

The monks in the temple also got up early, and after bathing, they each changed into brand new monks' robes, and their heads were shiny, and they went to the square in front of Tianlong Temple.

The morning breeze gently swept across Dali, and the morning light sprinkled down the sky like water.

In the warm morning light, in front of Dali Tianlong Temple, countless incense people have gathered, everyone is not noisy, nor crowded, but consciously arranged, each sitting on the square.

Two rows of disciples of Tianlong Temple, dressed in brand-new monks' robes, sat on the edge of the square facing the incense crowd, chanting sutras with their eyes closed, and thousands of lay disciples who had never been ordained were sitting on the edge of the square under the organization of the monks, maintaining order.

A huge, bronze poured round tripod stood quietly in front of the main hall of Tianlong Temple, and a huge Zen incense with the thickness of an arm was surrounded by countless incense mist, and I don't know when it had been ignited. Wisps of Zen incense float with the morning breeze, and the vast Zen meaning is set off by Zen incense and Sanskrit sound, which also lingers in the entire square.

As the sun rises, the Zen in the air of Tenryu Temple becomes thicker and thicker, and countless players are curious to watch this Buddhist grand occasion that is rare in reality.

In the midst of all the attention, only to hear the Tianlong Temple, a mighty and ethereal bell suddenly rang, with the morning wind, sprinkled in every corner of Diancang Mountain.

"Hum..."

"Hum..."

"Hum..."

Three bells rang in the mountain, attracting everyone's attention.

I saw that on the square, whether it was the Buddhist novices or the clouds and incense, they were all clasped together at this moment, and in a pious and fanatical expression, they were reciting the Huayan Sutra softly.

"And when the Master was in the realm of Magati, in the field of Alan Ruofa Bodhi, he attained the most enlightened enlightenment in all the Dharmas, and all the three worlds were equal, and his body filled all the worlds, and his sound was universal in the ten realms, such as the void with all the images, and there was no difference in the realms..."

Although Dali is a small country, but after so many years of development, it also has hundreds of thousands of millions of people, as one of the important Buddhist festivals in Dali, this day, from all over the country of Dali, I don't know how many people rushed over, just to celebrate the Buddha's birthday.

At this moment, on the square outside the Tianlong Temple, under the leadership of hundreds of monks, tens of thousands of people, in the surprised eyes of one player after another, in the morning light, neatly sang the "Huayan Sutra" that did not exist in reality.

The Zen bell is slim, ethereal and immense.

The Zen incense is swirling, and its meaning is vast.

Zen sound recitation, melodious artistic conception.

Zen shrouded in the wind...

In the chant of 10,000 people, the melodious bell sounded a full one hundred and eight times in Diancang Mountain.

"Hum..."

When the one hundred and eighth bell slowly fell, on the square, the Zen sound that everyone was chanting came to an abrupt end, and the whole square suddenly fell silent. Everyone said that their eyes were on the main hall, their eyes were reverent, and they seemed to be expecting something.

"Ji Shou takes refuge in the Great Enlightenment, supreme benevolence, and sees the suffering of sentient beings. Under the Dou rate Heavenly Palace, the palace descended, and the snow ridge was repaired. The top of the magpie's nest, a three-story barrier, six years of asceticism. If a person takes refuge in the Great Enlightenment, he will not fall and sink..."

In the midst of the chanting of the monks, eighteen Buddhist disciples carried a two-person Buddha statue with fanatical faces, slowly walked out of the main hall, and appeared in front of everyone. Behind the Buddha statue, Master Yideng with more than a dozen old monks also appeared in front of the temple gate.

Under the morning light, the gilded Buddha statue seems to come out of the Buddhist scriptures, exuding wisps of golden light, in the eyes of everyone, brilliant, Buddha light shines.

As soon as the Buddha statue appeared, the bells and drums rang out in front of everyone, and in the midst of countless eyes, eighteen Buddhist disciples slowly lifted the Buddha statue to the front of the round tripod.

A lamp master a solemn monk robe, slowly walked to the front of the tripod, facing the Buddha statue, after the monks chanted three times "Nan Wu Xiang Yungai Bodhisattva", a lamp master sang in a deep voice: "Bodhisattva down the clouds, born in the palace of pure rice." Maya gave birth to a golden boy on the right flank, and the heavenly music played in the sky. Look at the four directions and take seven steps, pointing to the sky and the earth. Nine dragons spit water and Mu Cirong, and all laws are in the middle. ”

The Zen sound fell, all the monks chanted "Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha", the master of a lamp retreated, and eighteen Buddhist disciples stepped forward again to lift the Buddha statue, walked down the steps, and carried the Buddha statue to the square.

When the Buddha statue came, countless incense people immediately got up, and everyone did not panic, but folded their hands together, and sincerely and consciously gave way for the Buddha statue to pass by.

Eighteen monks carried the Buddha statue to the center of the square, gently lowered it, and chanted "Buddha Shakyamuni" three times before meditating cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue.

At the same time, tens of thousands of incense pilgrims stood around the Buddha statues, silent.

"Hum..." The sound of the three-life chime fell, under the leadership of the master of a lamp, after the monks bowed three times, on the square, the incense people and the monks recited the "Buddha Treasure Praise" together, and after chanting, they sang "Praise the Buddha".

"The Buddha's treasure is endlessly praised, and the success is immeasurable. Towering six purple gold faces, Juedao snow peaks. The jade between the eyebrows is brilliant, illuminating the six dimness. The three meetings of Longhua are willing to meet, and the speech is true..."

After singing, everyone walked around the Buddha, and the huge bathing Buddha puja was slowly carried out in a safe and orderly manner under the amazed eyes of countless players...

Among the monks in front of the main hall, the monk Tianyuan quietly looked at the solemn ceremony that was being carried out step by step below at dusk, and his eyes flashed with a trace of piety, and he was silent...
