Under the warmth of love, the cold winter passed day by day.

I learned to face everything in Beipiao with a grateful heart.

The weather is getting warmer day by day.

A gentle spring rain suddenly made the sky and the earth green.

Spring is coming.

The spring I've been longing for has finally arrived.

Breathing in the fresh air and caressing the drizzle falling on our faces, Ye Qian and I came to Zizhuyuan Park.

Shichiku-in is truly a world of bamboo.

As soon as we entered the garden, we saw bamboos everywhere, such as purple bamboo, spotted bamboo, birthday bamboo, green bamboo, caryophyllus and nameless bamboo. When we burrowed into the dense verdant bamboo forest and stepped on the winding cobblestone paths in the forest, we were in a good mood.

At the end of the path, a secluded courtyard suddenly appeared.

We walked through the courtyard gate and found that the small courtyard was full of peach blossoms. The breeze blows, and the petals fall one after another, like rain but not rain, which is intoxicating.

"The peach color contains the rain, and the willow green is more smoky. The flowers are not swept away, I want to have sex with you. I laughed and chanted poetry.

Ye Qianwan smiled, angry and ashamed.

We strolled to the north side of the courtyard.

At this time, I saw an artificial river, and the water was very clear; On the other side of the river is the Beijing Library, which is very eye-catching. Under the shade of the willows between the river and the library, a couple of young couples are sticky together.

"There are too many ears and eyes," Ye Qian smiled, "Let's go to a clean place!" ”

"Then let's go to the Zizhu Zen Temple!" I suggested.

Zizhu Monastery is a Buddhist temple.

In that year, the Empress Dowager Cisheng built Wanshou Temple on the west side of Guangyuan Gate at the same time, she also built a temple here as the lower courtyard of Wanshou Temple, and the temple was dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva at that time. Zizhu Zen Temple, and also built a palace on the west side of the temple, that is, Zizhu Temple. In the garden, a large number of bamboos were planted, and later the palace building was demolished and renovated, which was different from the Qing Dynasty. In the precincts, there are two ginkgo trees that are nearly 500 years old.

"Spring rain from the sky, spring rain from the sky!" I stroked the cold rain on my face and muttered to myself.

"Descended to the mountains, to the earth, to our hearts!" Ye Qian agreed.

"Suddenly," I said emotionally, "I felt like a wild flower blooming in the meadow, moist and fragrant!" ”

"Wake up, wake up," Ye Qian said with the same emotion, "It's a simple Zen, it's a Zen that turns into enlightenment, let us wake up from the long cold winter, and let us gradually get out of the confused world!" Although the steps of our love and dreams are crooked, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, but they have never stopped! ”

"The frozen river of hearts is melting little by little!" I say.

"The frozen heart is so soft little by little!" Ye Qian said.

"The cold heart is warmed little by little!" I say.

"We finally have an amorous spring!" Ye Qian said happily.

I stood quietly in the Zizhu Monastery, looking at the moist and moist bushes of purple bamboos around me, looking at the spring rain floating between heaven and earth, looking at the flowers and trees that swelled out a faint green halo, and looking at the light swallows flying diagonally in the rain...... My heart seemed to fly with it.

"Mountain, no longer mountain," I muttered, "it's a green space in my heart!" ”

"Water, no longer water," Ye Qian muttered to herself, "It's a clear spring in my heart!" ”

"Grass, no more grass," I said softly, "it's a guest at my heart!" ”

"Love, no longer love," Ye Qian said with a smile, "It is a seed in my heart!" ”

I hugged Ye Qian gently.

When I touched the softness of her breasts, I felt a softness under my feet.

I looked down and saw that the green grass was covered with crystal clear dewdrops.

"It's the nectar that makes them sprout green early," I said to Ye Qian with a smile, "just like the Bodhi seeds in our own hearts sprout green because of the spring rain of the Dharma!" ”

"This is the earliest piece of green I've seen this year," Ye Qian said emotionally, "the earliest drop of dew!" ”

Not far away, a small sparrow stood on a branch. It stared at me intently, thoughtfully.

I smiled at it.

It tilted its head, looked left and right, and looked at me pensively.

"I suddenly felt like a bird," I said to Ye Qian affectionately, "flying and flying in the slanting rain......

"I'm also a bird," Ye Qian said with a smile, "Let's fly together......

"In pairs!" I said and gently kissed Ye Qian's cheek.

"Double Flying Amphibious!" Ye Qian smiled.

"I love the mountains, the water, the flowers, and the grass of Beijing," I said with emotion, "I love all of these things deeply." Love all this because of love! ”

"It's love," Ye Qian said with the same emotion, "It gives us a free and easy body world; It is love that allows us to enter an unrestrained spiritual home; It is love that cultivates a green field in our hearts...... It's all love! ”

"It's love," I said, holding Ye Qian's hand, "It's also Zen!" ”

"Love Zen!" Ye Qian smiled.

"Let's go!" I said with a smile.

"Walk your head," Ye Qianxing said with slight disgust, "The heel of these high heels is embedded in the grass, and I can't walk!" ”

"Life in the world," I looked at the high heels at Ye Qian's feet and said with a deep face, "If the high heels are embedded in the grass, the heart does not move, people do not move, and if they do not move, they do not walk; If the heart is moved, people will be reckless, and people will walk but the shoes will not go, so they will realize the benefits of wearing flat shoes. ”

"You're right," Ye Qian said seriously, "People don't move, and shoes don't move, but your heart is also moving." ”

I laughed.

Ye Qianwan smiled, her cheeks were smiling, and her tenderness was rippling.

I smiled and helped Ye Qian pull out the high heels embedded in the grass.

"Where will you go in a moment?" I asked Ye Qian softly while wiping the dirt on my heels with a tissue.

"This is not far from Wanshou Temple," Ye Qian thought and said, "Let's go there and have a look!" ”

"Okay!" I said as I helped Ye Qian put on her high heels, "Please lead the way in front of the Buddha!" ”

Ye Qian smiled.

I laughed and laughed.

We came to the north gate of Zizhuyuan Park, bought a ticket, and boarded the boat at Ziyuwan Pier.

"It only takes two stops," I said to Ye Qian, "and we can get to Wanshou Temple!" ”

"Yes," Ye Qian said with a smile, "This 'Cixi Waterway' can also go directly to the Summer Palace!" ”

"Cixi is very fond of Wanshou Temple," I said solemnly, "and she regards Wanshou Temple as her blessed land." Since the fourteenth year of Guangxu, after the Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled the navy's military funds to rebuild the Summer Palace, she dredged another waterway in order to facilitate her own access to the Summer Palace. The Summer Palace is divided into three mountains, seven points of water, and one acre of field, which can be said to be a combination of mountains and rivers, and the movement and stillness are suitable. If Cixi goes by carriage, she can only see a quarter of the Summer Palace, but it is very different to travel by boat, the distant mountains are like picturesque, such as entering a fairyland, the boat passes through the pavilions and pavilions, the boat walks in the clouds, and the people swim in the painting. The water system known as the 'Cixi Waterway' is this one, which passes in front of the gate of Wanshou Temple, and Wanshou Temple should have been selected as the palace for Cixi's outing. Today, boats can still be taken from the front of Wanshou Temple, and the route is the same as that of Cixi. In those days, except for Cixi, only the elder brother and Gege level and above could take a boat with them to enjoy the scenery. ”

"I know," Ye Qian smiled, "In the ten-mile green mountain painting, the double flying white birds are like the south of the Yangtze River, which is talking about the beautiful scenery on the Cixi waterway!" ”

Talking and laughing, the cruise ship has arrived at Wanshou Temple.

I took Ye Qian's hand and got off the cruise.

"Let me ask you a question," Ye Qian thought about and said, "What is the first idiom that comes to mind when you see water and boats?" ”

"Sailing against the current!" I blurted out.

"Why don't you just push the boat down the river?" Ye Qian asked.

"Because I like to work hard when I'm in a difficult situation," I said seriously, "Sailing against the current is a metaphor for going backwards if you don't work hard, so of course I like to sail against the current!" ”

"It's the same as I thought," Ye Qian said with a smile, "Then do you know the flow of life and death?" ”

"Of course I know," I said earnestly, "that Buddhism calls the afflictions of birth and death the 'flow of birth and death,' and that the practitioner must go against the flow of birth and death in order to achieve ultimate liberation." For example, the fourth volume of the "Lengyan Sutra": "Now I want to go against the flow of life and death, and I want to go against the root of poverty, and I will not be born and die." 'Sudra Huanguo' of the Four Vehicles of Shravaka means 'against the current'. ”

"Follow the flow of life and death, and enter the river of great love." Ye Qian said with a deep face, "The river of love is dry, so that you can be relieved." ”

"Yes," I said softly, "I love food, I love beauty, I love money, I love fame...... These covetousness flows in our hearts like a great river, and we indulge in it for life and death. By studying Buddhism and practicing and getting rid of craving, you can be liberated from all your troubles and sufferings. ”

"That's why I love the temple!" Ye Qian said with a serious face.

"I also love temples," I said with a smile, "and there are thousands of temples in Beijing, and only Wanshou Temple is comparable in size to the imperial palace; There are thousands of Buddha statues in the temple, and only the Guanyin statue here is like Cixi. ”

"Emperor Qianlong had a soft spot for Wanshou Temple," Ye Qian said seriously, "and the Empress Dowager Cixi made her fortune here." ”

I raised my head and looked at the ancient river quietly.

The ancient river flows quietly, flowing in front of Manjuji Temple, as if telling the glory of the past.

Ye Qian and I walked through the busy West Third Ring Road.

Soon, we came to the Manshou Temple, which is located on the side of the road.

Walking into the temple, we were immediately shocked by the scenery hidden behind the mountain gate.

"This is the famous Wanshou Temple back then!" I said to Ye Qian.

Ye Qian smiled and nodded, without saying a word.

Wanshou Temple is divided into east, middle and west three roads, the front courtyard is deep and widespread, Qionglou Yuyu, carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent to the extreme, just like the imperial palace; The back body curved column corridor, the imperial book tablet pavilion, the bluestone rockery, the ancient road underground palace, the pine and cypress are scattered, like the epitome of the imperial garden. Even its west cross courtyard also has the reputation of the small Kunning Palace, no wonder the people call this temple "Little Forbidden City".

"The current Wanshou Temple has been turned into the Beijing Art Museum." Ye Qian said with a smile.

"It's really nice here," I said with emotion, "not only can you enjoy the scenery of Buddhism, but you can also enjoy the cultural relics unearthed or circulated in Beijing." ”

Ye Qian smiled and nodded.

We started touring with great interest.
