A night of lingering sorrow.

After dawn, Ye Qian and I took a car to Xiangshan.

Xiangshan Park is located in the western suburbs of Beijing, the terrain is steep, verdant and continuous, is a royal garden with mountain forest characteristics.

In this sad and fiery summer, I finally saw the fragrant mountain that I had admired for a long time.

"How did you say Xiangshan got its name?" I asked as I walked.

"Of course I know," Ye Qian said with a serious face, "Because the ancient Xiangshan used to be the Apricot Blossom Mountain, the apricot blossoms bloom every spring, the fragrance is overflowing, and the fragrance is floating for ten miles, so it is called Xiangshan." ”

"I think the fragrance is more than ten miles!" I smiled and said, "You smell this fragrance that has drifted through time and space, seducing you and me from thousands of miles away!" ”

"However, there is another saying," Ye Qian smiled, "it is because the shape of the stalactites on the highest peak of this mountain is very similar to the incense burner, and at dawn and dusk, the clouds cover the mist, like a cigarette in the furnace, so it is called the incense burner mountain, referred to as the incense mountain." ”

"So, we must climb the incense burner peak today!" I swear.

"The incense burner peak is also called ghost sorrow," Ye Qian smiled slightly, "It is the highest place in Xiangshan Park, and the terrain is steep!" If we don't get there, we'll never see the scenery there! ”

"Then let's get started!" I said happily.

The two of us talked and laughed together and walked towards the incense burner peak.

The road to the top of the mountain is winding at one time, and flat and spacious at the other.

Along the way, the scenery is beautiful.

The peaks and mountains are stacked and green, and the springs are full of forests; The sun is closed, and the ground is cool; Birds and insects chirp, and squirrels frolic in the ravines and forests...... Here, the scorching heat of summer and the hustle and bustle of the city are gone, and the fatigue of running around and the pressure of survival are gone. While we see the beauty of Xiangshan in summer, Xiangshan also witnesses our romance and lingering along the way.

Soon, we climbed the incense burner peak together.

Standing on the observation deck, you can see the infinite scenery in the distance.

There are many kinds of buildings in the capital.

"It's so beautiful!" Ye Qian raised her arms and shouted.

"The fragrant hills at this time are not too beautiful," I thought to myself, "and the fragrant hills in autumn should be the most beautiful!" At that time, the leaves of the coggywood trees all over the mountains were as red as flames! ”

"Why do you have to wait until autumn?" Ye Qian said seriously, "People who really fall in love with Xiangshan will like its four seasons, because every season will have the beauty of every season!" ”

"It's the off-season in Xiangshan!" I say.

"Who said there is an off-season in Xiangshan?" Ye Qian asked.

"Isn't this the off-season?" I said seriously, "Usually the ticket is 10 yuan, but now it's only 5 yuan!" ”

"There are some things that can't be measured by money," Ye Qian said with a deep face, "For those who appreciate Xiangshan, it has scenery in four seasons: spring outing, summer summer retreat, autumn red leaves, and winter snow." Just like love, no season is an off-season, and no moment can be ignored and forgotten. ”

"There is no off-season for love!" I said with a smile.

"Yes," Ye Qianwan smiled, "The season of love is the peak season!" ”

After coming down from Xiangshan.

We came to Biyun Temple.

Biyun Temple is located on the north side of Xiangshan Park, at the eastern foot of Jubao Mountain in the West Mountain, and is a group of garden-style temples with compact layout and well-preserved. The temple sits in the west and faces east, and is built according to the mountain, and the temple is scattered.

"Look at it," Ye Qian looked at the Biyun Temple in front of him and said excitedly, "What a wonderful place!" ”

"You said before," I asked Ye Qian with a smile, "What does it mean to say that when you go out, you must have behind your ears, dazzled, and have a bad memory?" ”

"That's what I said," Ye Qian smiled, "behind the ear, it depends on what I heard; Dazzled, it depends on what kind of person I meet; I don't have a good memory, it depends on what happened to me. This living person must be able to shine and smoke, to go up to the wall and to drill trenches, to eat bitter and sweet......"

"I'm dizzy," I said with a playful laugh, "and your words are like ecstasy!" ”

"There is ecstasy soup everywhere," Ye Qian said seriously, "Cultivation is to clear the fog, see the world clearly, and don't be confused by other people's ecstasy soup!" ”

"There is ecstasy soup everywhere!" I muttered to myself, "Don't get fooled by someone else's ecstasy soup!" ”

"Look at the mountain gate of this Biyun Temple," Ye Qian smiled slightly, "Do you know why it's called the mountain gate?" ”

"The mountain has a door?" I laughed.

"Of course there is," Ye Qian said seriously, "Mountain Gate, in fact, it should be called Sanmen." Sanmen is the abbreviation of the Three Liberation Gates, so people often call the temple gate Sanmen, also called the Mountain Gate. ”

I saw the temple plaque hanging in Han, Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan characters at the mountain gate of Biyun Temple, and engraved with three big characters of Qianlong's handwriting "Biyun Temple". A pair of stone lions in front of the door, squatting on the Sumeru seat, carved finely.

"Look at this mountain gate, the plaque, and the pair of stone lions, but they are all a little old!" Ye Qian said with a smile.

"What age are the old monks here?" I asked jokingly.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense!" Ye Qian said angrily, "Cultivate your mouth first, say what you say wherever you go, say what you say when you see someone, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth!" When you go out, you must not only manage your mouth, but also your hands! Now that you are stretching out your hand, do you want to touch the head of the stone lion again? ”

"You'll see that!" I said as I smirked back my outstretched hand.

"Talking nonsense, stretching out your hands indiscriminately, there are many disadvantages," Ye Qian said seriously, "It's easy to offend people, it's easy to leave a handle for people, it's easy to get into trouble......"

At this moment, a loud bell rang out from the temple.

"Listen to this bell," Ye Qian said with a solemn face, "It just serves as a warning to the world!" The alarm bell rings often, keep your mouth in check, and be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth; Take care of your hands, and beware of calamities from the sky. ”

I looked at Ye Qian quietly and listened to her quietly.

Ye Qian began to tidy up her clothes with a reverent face, looking like she was ready to worship the Buddha.

"When you see the Buddha this time, you must put the rules down," Ye Qian said as she walked at the mountain gate, "This Buddha has a lot of etiquette!" ”

"I haven't studied, how do I know?" I laughed.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't learned, there will be time for you to learn slowly in the future," Ye Qian said softly, "But there is one thing, you must remember that whether it is to people or Buddhas, your attitude must be respectful, and you must face it with sincerity!" With sincerity, even if you offend others, others will forgive; If you don't have a sincere heart, even if you burn incense in your hands and chant scriptures in your mouth, others will be wary of you...... Be sure to pay attention, inside the temple, don't touch me! ”

"I see!" I said and let go of Ye Qian's hand stupidly.

I watched Ye Qian worship the Maitreya Hall behind the Mountain Gate Palace, the Sakyamuni Temple, and the Bodhisattva Hall reverently......

Ye Qian's mouth was still muttering something from time to time.

Soon, we arrived at Suisen-in.

Suisen-in Temple is a good place for the scenery of Biyun Temple.

In the precincts, the pines and cypresses are towering, and there is one of the most famous third-generation trees. This ancient tree is very peculiar, the cypress tree is long in the middle of the cypress, and there is a neem tree growing in the innermost layer, and the neem tree is still alive today. One day in the courtyard, there is a spring flowing, the spring water flows out from the crack in the stone, and the pool becomes a pool, the spring water is clear and pure, sweet and refreshing. Next to the spring is a rockery made of stacked Taihu Lake stones. Flowers, springs and rockeries form a beautiful and quiet courtyard garden.

"What did you just read?" I asked Ye Qian curiously in Shuiquan Temple.

"Swear to cut off all evil, swear to cultivate all good, and swear to save all sentient beings," Ye Qian said with a solemn face, "I wish to incense flowers and fruits, go straight to the Three Treasures, plead for great compassion, and give to all sentient beings...... "Ye Qian paused and suddenly asked, "Do you know why you put so many flowers and fruits and burn incense and light lamps in front of the Buddha case?" ”

"That's for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to eat, smell and see!" I blurted out.

"Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are all made of wood or stone, how can they eat, smell and see?" Ye Qian asked seriously.

"It must be for good looks!" I guessed again.

"Neither," Ye Qian said with a deep face, "It's completely for us." ”

"For people?" I smiled slightly, "Please explain." ”

"It is set up for people," Ye Qian said affirmatively, "flowers represent cause, effect represents effect, and the so-called flowering and fruiting is the process of flowering first, and then there will be the harvest of fruit." All things and all laws are inseparable from cause and effect. Only by planting good causes can we reap good results; Sow evil causes, and you will reap evil results. ”

"Then why burn incense and light lamps?" I asked, puzzled.

"Incense has the effect of heart-repellent effect," Ye Qian said softly, "so when Buddhists burn incense, they are willing to believe in their hearts, vow to subdue their troubles, and seek liberation according to the righteous path taught by the Buddha; As for the meaning of lighting a lamp, it is to emit light and illuminate others. Look at how many ways Lafayette used to remind and guide us in order to help us get rid of our troubles! ”

"I think you'll become a monk sooner or later!" I laughed.

"I just use Beijing as a dojo," Ye Qian said with a reverent face, "Take Beipiao as a practice!" ”

I looked at Ye Qian with a look of adoration, and the more I looked at her, the more she looked like the legendary omniscient goddess.

Ye Qian smiled slightly like a bodhisattva.
