Chapter 164: The Pavilion of the Scriptures (I)
In ordinary days, there are not many people who come to Lingyan Mountain and Lingyan Temple to play, and at the entrance stone archway, you can only see visitors in twos and threes, talking and laughing and going inside. The foot of the mountain is very empty.
After getting off the bus, Song Jianqiu carried his backpack and walked up the zigzag road.
The road is wide, and it is rare to meet a person all the way up.
After a lot of effort, after climbing to the top of the mountain, I felt that the square outside the Lingyan Temple was so wide, and the big tree planted in the center was vibrant, and the lush canopy covered half of the sky, and a large area of shade was dropped, so that people who sweated stood below, and felt very cool.
Coming to climb the mountain and write a book on a hot day, although Song Jianqiu is not as hypocritical as those normal girls, she has to hold a parasol wherever she goes, but in order to resist the hot sun, she still wears a wide-brimmed sunhat, so as not to make her hair faint from the sun.
After reaching the square at the top of the mountain, she took off her hat, took a cool ride under the big tree, and then put it back on again, and then walked towards the gate of Lingyan Temple.
The gate is open, and when you are in the square, you can faintly hear the chanting sound wafting from the temple.
This is recorded by the sound and played automatically, otherwise, it is impossible for a group of monks in any temple to chant the scriptures all day and night without stopping, even if it is a Buddhist gate in the world. Not surprising.
In the afternoons of the past few days, she would come to Lingyan Temple, and as soon as she entered the temple gate, she would walk inside, but she didn't go far before a little novice who was less than twenty years old came over and saluted her.
After Song Jianqiu also returned the salute, he went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Lingyan Temple under the guidance of this little monk.
This kind of hospitality, as long as she came, was like this, even Lin Yuqin was surprised by Lingyan Temple's VIP treatment of Song Jianqiu. This is mostly due to the meeting with the abbot Jingshi of Lingyan Temple!
I still remember that when Song Jianqiu was invited to meet by Master Jingshi, the abbot of Lingyan Temple, for the first time, he said that she was welcome to come to the temple to talk about Buddhism, read the scriptures, and find him to solve his worries.
At that time, Song Jianqiu thought that this was just a polite remark and didn't take it to heart, so after entering the summer vacation, for a whole month, she didn't think about going to Lingyan Temple, plus in July, her course schedule was very tight, but she couldn't spare time for a while, so she forgot about it.
It wasn't until she entered August, when she pushed off the art class over there and had a lot of free time, that she remembered the things on the Lingyan Temple.
In fact, sketching or something, you can go anywhere, and you don't have to take a car for two or three kilometers to Lingyan Mountain.
You must know that Asan City, as an inland city almost surrounded by mountains, is rare and needs to be searched, but there are many high and long mountains, and there are several forest parks, but it is the farthest away Lingyan Mountain, which is not the best choice.
So she chose Lingyan Mountain, in addition to sketching, the main purpose was to enter the scripture pavilion of Lingyan Temple to read the Buddhist scriptures.
She buys Buddhist scriptures by herself, one or two copies may be nothing, but if there are more, the money to buy books alone is a lot of money, and if it is seen by her family, it will cause strangeness, not to mention, the small bookshelf in her room can't put many copies at all, so instead of buying books to read, it is better to go directly to the temple to read.
Not to mention, in addition to reading, the Buddhist scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion can also be copied, just reciting the scriptures and practicing words to kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, as the library of the temple, the Scripture Pavilion is an important place, and no outsiders are allowed to enter it except for the monks of the temple.
However, Song Jianqiu is an exception, her meeting with Master Jingshi, not only praised the deep relationship of the Buddha, the purity of the Buddha's nature, but also compared it to the leading figure of Buddhism Buddha Azi, the name of the Buddha has long spread throughout the world of Buddhism, even the Taoist sect has also heard a little, it can be said that the resounding throughout the country.
Therefore, even if Song Jianqiu did not receive ordination, did not shave his hair, and did not take refuge in Buddhism, he was still regarded as out of the Buddhism in the world, and for Lingyan Temple, since Master Jingshi valued Song Jianqiu, he was naturally a guest in the temple, no matter how considerate hospitality, it was also a matter of course.
For such a situation, she herself felt a little flattered, and she was a little confused at first, but she quickly figured it out, and felt that it must be an arrangement made by Master Jingshi, and this arrangement was indeed a lot more convenient, so she was disrespectful and gladly accepted.
The only pity is that she didn't know until she came that Master Jingshi had left Lingyan Temple in mid-July and went to Mount Buddha to participate in the Buddhist Festival.
In this way, in addition to not being able to say thanks, the matter of resolving worries and doubts can only be thought about by oneself for the time being, and it is even more impossible to discuss the matter of Buddhist scriptures.
This place of Potuo Mountain, Song Jianqiu heard Tang Xiaoyun talk about it, it is said to be a very mysterious Buddhist holy place, there are many amazing and brilliant Buddhist geniuses, and among the geniuses of each generation, the people who can inherit the name of 'Buddha Azi' are particularly eye-catching.
This Buddha is a lineage name of Buddhism, and every 20 years there will be a competition meeting to refute the Dharma, and those who win from dozens of talented players will inherit this name, replacing the Buddhism in the world, walking in the world, propagating Buddhism, subduing demons and eliminating demons, and purifying sentient beings.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the advertising spokesperson of some products now. The main thing is to show their own strength and strength.
Of course, this meaning cannot be said so bluntly, and it needs to be subtle.
After inheriting the name of Buddha Azi, he will hide his real name, and only take the name of Buddha Azi as the name, and he can get the support of Mount Buddha and all other Buddhism in the world, which can be said to represent the Buddhism in the entire world, and the majesty can be imagined.
And Mount Bhatuo, the birthplace of each generation of Buddhas, is naturally full of mystery, and it is a place that all Buddhists yearn for.
Ordinary people can't go there, and only some monks who have attained the Tao, or people who have some relationship with Mount Bhato, can find Mount Bhato, among which Master Jingshi, the current abbot of Lingyan Temple, is like this.
However, although Song Jianqiu was praised by Jingshi in every way, in fact, for the things of Buddhism in the world, she was basically in a state of blackness, she was mainly interested in all kinds of Buddhist scriptures, as for what kind of Buddha Mountain, Buddhism Holy Land and the like, she didn't feel it at all.
At most, I wonder where this mountain will be? Is it as amazing as Tang Xiaoyun said?
Ask for tickets, ahhh
