1. Enlightenment before the Buddha

The birthplace of the world's Qing rules is 100 zhang temple, opened on August 31, 2011, the newly renovated 100 zhang temple, the pavilion is full of luxury, and the carved railings and paintings are magnificent.

At 2 o'clock in the morning of the same day, my colleagues and I set off and were ordered to go to Baizhang to maintain traffic order, and we were busy until 14 o'clock in the afternoon, exhausted, and became a Buddhist protector for a day.

The Buddhist gate is pure, Baizhang Temple is located in the embrace of the mountains, surrounded by green cypress and green bamboo, light mist gathers at the top of the temple such as auspicious clouds, several families are scattered around the temple, occasionally the rooster cries and the dog barks, in addition, the ears will only hear the "whirring" sound of the wind sweeping through the jungle, a quiet place.

The consecration, due to the reconstruction, the then presiding master Ben Lian, accumulate great merits, form a great good fate, the original site of another nunnery, the achievement of a new temple, there are eight carved dragon pillars in front of the main gate, it is said that as long as the ancestral status of the temple, can have this specification.

And Baizhang Temple does have this status in Buddhism, the Tang Dynasty Dazhi Zen Master Huaihai practiced here, diligently studied the Buddhist scriptures, explored the Zen principle, tried his best to change the monks and nuns wandering outside, along the door of the dervishes, do not work the habit, create the practice of paying equal attention to agriculture and Zen, strengthen the form of jungle organization, and finally set up another rule for Zen Buddhism in Baizhang Temple, and wrote the "Zen Gate Rules" also known as "Baizhang Qing Rules" of "Zhao Tianxia monks follow this".

Baizhang Qinggui is also known as the first Qinggui in the world of Buddhism, since then Baizhang Temple is famous, the incense is extremely prosperous, the monks from all over the world come to the pilgrims in an endless stream, it is extremely prestigious in the Chinese and foreign Buddhist circles, there is "three temples, five temples and forty-eight nunnery" said.

I have heard the rules of the world for a long time, and the most famous is the sentence: "If you don't do it for a day, you won't eat for a day." But several times to the temple, but never been able to witness the monk heavy hoe scene, to the local people asked, replied "monks buy vegetables with Toyota off-road", not ashamed.

Buddhism established its dominance in Taoism in China from the Tang Dynasty onwards and established it as the state religion during the Tang Dynasty, where it has flourished ever since.

Buddhism talks about Buddhism, and Buddhism profoundly investigates the past, present, future, self, and universe.

Buddhism preaches the scriptures and preaches the Dharma and spreads the Dharma, called "wandering", sleeping in the open all the way, eating and living all by turning into fate, people usually call them "ascetics". It is these ascetics who interpret the profound essence of Buddhism with their own practical actions, and constantly accumulate the sacred status of Buddhism among the people.

Over the years, I have seen many monks on the street and roadside, but I have never heard them preach the scriptures, nor have I seen them turn into good deeds, and the heroes and models promoted by the media have never seen them.

The most ridiculous thing is that the monk still marries a wife and has children, drives to work during the day, and goes home at night to make a fire and cook, but it is said that such a job is not easy to find, the salary is high, the treatment is good, the work is leisurely, and ordinary people can't be monks.

After the consecration, he took his friends on a tour, and the people from the line were amazed by the beautiful and elegant environment around him, and as a local, he made a cameo appearance as a tour guide.

The small talk is moved by the heart, and I don't realize that I have seen the face of the Buddha. Feeling the profound historical atmosphere of Buddhism, suddenly a Zen saying came into my mind - great compassion without tears, great enlightenment without words.

Nine times out of ten, life is not satisfactory, that is, we are given life, we should give full play to the color of life, the sad place with a lighter color, the happy place with a thicker color.

Zen - Life in the world is like being in the midst of thorns, the heart does not move, people do not move, and if they do not move, they will not hurt; If the heart moves, people move recklessly, hurt their bodies and hurt their bones, and then experience all kinds of pain in the world.

2. Essays on the deep mountains

In the silent deep mountains, a small river flows slowly, and a person sits quietly by the river, obsessed with the beautiful scenery and forgets to return. The empty mountain sits alone, the fool hangs the bamboo, and a long line explores the water.

In such a season, the aquatic plants by the river are growing unwillingly, making the whole grass like green silk, from the foot of the mountain to the water, a few broken grasses stretching into the river, gently shaking with the flowing river, the eyes stay on one of the broken grass, and also with it swaying, the shaking of the mind seems to be solidified, and as if through thousands of years.

The sunlight is thrown on the surface of the river, and the microwave scales on the surface of the water, refracting the sunlight like a jumping pearl. The smooth and round pebbles in the water, there are large and small colors, the stone is crystal clear, it is so attractive under the reflection of the sun, so that people can't help but lean over and pick it up, I don't know how many years of polishing the stone, the palm is as comfortable as jade, don't be nostalgic, clench the hand and refuse to let go.

The mountain breeze is empathetic, blowing slowly along the river, and can penetrate the clothes, walk the dry tropical in the body, and reside the coolness in the heart. The little birds in the mountains are also elves, and occasionally make elegant and graceful calls from the depths of the woods, which are as melodious as the sounds of heaven, and seem to have traveled through time and space to awaken the soul of the worldly dream that has fallen into the world for a long time.

There was a feeling that continued to sublimate at this moment, prompting me to decide to let go of the stone in my hand, no longer be confused by its brilliance, and pick up a handful of clear spring with my free hands, wash away the lead dust on my face, and completely put my body and mind into nature.

On such a day, I was temporarily away from the world, and sat alone by the river in the mountains for a long time. I want to sleep like a water, the waves are not alarmed, the moon is in the sky, not only according to everything, but also elongate my lonely figure, everything has its own destiny, cut through the sleeping past, half-truths and half-falsehoods, I can't tell which is a dream, which is a story.

The wind doesn't know me, across the lake, the water surface is wrinkled, the layers of forests are lurking, and the hair is provocative. In front of me, the crane is strong and one-footed, holding a white fish in its mouth, and my pole does not move, the bamboo basket is empty and soaked in water, and there are no fish in the basket swimming outside the basket, and the chest is also empty.

I have chased the sun, even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, even if there are dangers and thorns, I have chased the years, I have not been moved by love, I have not been trapped by love, I have chased my dreams, my young head has turned white, and I have fallen into heroic tears.

The black birds in the forest are singing at night, and the peach blossoms are drunk on the trees. Suddenly distracting thoughts arise, when will the best friends meet? The broken rafters and remnants of the bridge are alone, and the back hand is facing the wind on the upper ridge. I was in the mood for the warm wind, and the water rippled in the sky and clouds.
