Chapter 22 Spring and summer are long, and the daily chemical element is a machine.
Early the next morning, Wang Kurong, Ruohuo, and Rongjing came to Qingliang Mountain, and after trekking all the way, they saw a valley in the distance. When I got closer, I saw an ancient temple hidden in the valley. In the middle of the mountain gate of this temple is engraved the three big characters "Qingliang Temple". The left and right sides are engraved with couplets, and the upper couplets are: "Cool mountain dialect Manshu." The next link is: "The Manshu stone says that it is cool." ”
Wang Kurong and his entourage came to the mountain gate of Qingliang Temple far away, only to see an old monk standing under the mountain gate. This monk has a magnificent beard, a strange appearance, a radiant spirit, a calm and relaxed spirit, and a unique and unrestrained spirit.
"Amitabha, the three masters are polite. The old man is cool. While sitting in the mountains, I was terrified to learn that I was fortunate to be here. Invite the three masters to sit in the backyard for a while, and the old man immediately instructed the disciples to watch the tea, and asked the old monk who ...... his hands under the mountain gate, and when he saw Wang Kurong and the three of them coming, he folded his hands and said.
Wang Kurong and the three of them saw that the old monk was invited, so they moved to the backyard of Qingliang Temple. After the four of them sat down, there were four novices serving four cups of tea and three or five plates of fruit and snacks.
"Master Qingliangzi is polite, my name is Wang Kurong. He was an ordinary man, and occasionally learned that there was a true legend of the Buddha in Guibao Temple, so he took the liberty to visit, hoping to learn some skills. Wang Kurong went straight to the point and explained his intentions.
"Haha, Amitabha...... Wang Gaoshi is too modest. As the so-called Buddha is destined to be a person, since the three masters can find here, they are destined people. Now that you are here, you might as well spend a few days and let the old man do his best to be a landlord. Can the three Masters be interested in visiting the temple with the old man, and let the old man tell the three masters about the origin of the temple and the allusions? ”
"It's an honor, master, please." The three of them immediately got up and watched and visited Qingliang Temple under the guidance of Qingliangzi.
"Qingliang Mountain is commonly known as Wutai Mountain, and my Qingliang Temple is in Wutai Mountain. Qingliang Temple is widely known because of the allusion of "Manshu Stone". "Manshu Stone" is the treasure of our temple. Thousands of years ago, Manjushri Bodhisattva passed through Wutai, saw that the wind and sand covered the sun, the heat was unbearable, in order to benefit the sentient beings in this land and to facilitate the preaching of the scriptures, he found a "cool stone", with the help of the effect of the "cool stone", so that the climate of Wutai Mountain was improved. Later, Manshu Bodhisattva often sat on this stone to preach the scriptures, so the "Qingliang Stone" is also known as the "Manshu Stone".
Later, a Qingliang Temple was slowly built. At the beginning of the construction of Qingliang Temple, two temples were built, the north and the south, and the north temple was built by the devotees at the place where Manjush Bodhisattva preached. The South Monastery was expanded by a disciple of Manjushri in a valley where Manjush often rests. Therefore, Qingliang Temple is divided into South Temple and North Temple. However, due to historical reasons, the original Qingliang North Temple has been burned down. The Qingliang Temple at our feet is the Qingliang South Temple, which is a temple that was expanded by the disciples of Manjushri Bodhisattva in the valley where Manjush Bodhisattva often rests. Because it is located in the deep mountains and valleys, it is not visible to the world, so it can be preserved. The whole temple has a mountain gate, a Tianwang Palace, a Daxiong Treasure Palace, a Dharma Treasure Palace, a Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and there are 25 large and small houses in the backyard, these 25 houses are not only the places where the monks rest, but also the Zen room. In addition, Tallinn and the Abbot's Courtyard are deep in the valley, which is used to store the relics of the monks, and the Abbot's Courtyard is a place where I rest and meditate on weekdays.
Because Qingliang Temple is located in the valley, the environment is quiet and pleasant. The wind and water in the valley are gathered, the air flow contains but does not leak, and the water flow is winding and colorful. The lush forests are clinging, and the mountains and rocks are very different. In the interior of the valley, the terrain is relatively open, in the shape of a pocket, and in addition to the temple, more than 20 acres of farmland have been developed. In the event of natural and man-made disasters, the monks of the whole temple hide in the temple, but it is also a good place to settle down. "Qingliangzi explained the origin of Qingliang Temple very clearly.
"How many monks are there in our monastery now?" Wang Kurong asked.
"When Qingliang Temple was victorious, there were thousands of monks. But that's all the old imperial calendar. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been maintained at only one or twenty people. At present, there is one abbot, 2 stewards and 12 monks in the temple. A total of 15 people. Lao Qingliangzi, temporarily acting as the abbot of the temple. Qingliangzi's tone was a little low, obviously a little sad about not being able to make the temple bigger.
"Well, the master doesn't have to be sad, it's the so-called poor. The moment is pure and uneventful, and it is a good time to study the essence of Buddhism. It's not a good thing. Wang Kurong comforted.
"Hehe, Wang Gaoshi Mingjian. It's not that the old monk boasted, the old man began to study the scriptures at the age of 5, and it has been a full hundred years now. If you want to talk about the essence of Buddhism, the old monk still knows something. Qingliangzi brushed his beard and said to Wang Kurong with a smile.
"It turns out that the master is 105 years old, and the master is really boundless in Buddhism. I envy us mortals. Ahem, before coming to visit the master, we put together a gift as an offering. This is a gift list, which was transcribed by the younger generation, and the master is invited to take a look. Wang Kurong was glanced at by the master's world-experienced eyes, and knew that he couldn't continue to talk about idle days, so he hurriedly took out a gold gift list from his arms, and presented it to the master with both hands.
Master Qingliangzi took the gift list and sank! Obediently, it turned out to be a gift list made of pure gold, and this gift list alone is no less than hundreds of grams. Then I opened the gift list and looked at it, and I was surprised again, only to see that the gift list read:
100 pounds of gold.
200 pounds of silver.
RMB 1,000,000 in cash.
3,000 pounds of good rice noodles.
50 barrels of good peanut oil.
A few fresh vegetables.
Put on a few good lamp oil candles.
100 collars on good monk's robes.
100 pairs of good monk shoes.
Put on 100 sides of a good robe.
There are a number of good Buddha utensils.
There are also 10 treasures to offer:
Holding the good and enlightened Buddha beads is hung on the two sides, which has the wonderful use of gradually opening wisdom.
There are a number of good and enlightened bracelets, which have the wonderful use of gradually opening wisdom.
There are a number of incense and incense utensils that can be used to assist in practice.
A four-elephant cloak has the miraculous effect of avoiding fire, dust, water and wind.
There are a number of Bigu Baodan, which has the miraculous effect of Bigu.
A glazed ice crystal fruit, which has the wonderful use of epiphany.
There are a number of glazed real water, which has the purpose of refining the body and prolonging life.
Two pairs of flying boots, which have the wonderful use of soaring clouds and driving fog.
Master Qingliangzi gasped after reading this gold gift list. If the previous gold and silver renminbi are still secular yellow and white things, there are 10 treasures with their own wonderful uses. If these treasures are real, they are really rare treasures, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are worth a lot of money. When I was meditating and going to meditation last night, I suddenly had a whim, and I knew that a distinguished guest had come to the door. I thought it was a secular magnate, so I waited under the mountain gate early in the morning, but I didn't expect that the person waiting for me was a legendary figure.
"Amitabha! The three Masters love, these worldly yellow and white things, rice and noodles are just daily assets. Among them, there are 10 rare treasures, and Lao Wei has never seen them in his life, I don't know ...... "Qing Liangzi knows that the three people in front of him are not ordinary people, but the shock of this gift list is too great, so he is going to confirm it first.
"Master Qingliangzi, the three of us are wholeheartedly adjourning, and we have long wanted to listen to the true meaning of my Buddha. But he has been entangled in mundane things, and he can't have a moment of leisure. Today happens to be an auspicious day, so I prepared a little gift and rashly came to visit. Please also ask Haihan for the troubles. As for the gift, in this gold gift list, the abbot of Qingliangzi is a monk, I want you to see it at a glance. The old monk before Wang Kurong met finally stopped calming down and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming, Wang Kurong asked the moon gold wheel, used gold for each gift list, and refined another copy according to Wang Kurong's handwritten handwriting style. It not only looks solemn and generous, but also can open up a temporary storage space in the gold gift list, and put the gifts into the corresponding gift list one by one, which is easy to carry. There is also the meaning of considering the cultivation level of the person receiving the gift, and many things are self-evident.
As soon as Qingliangzi saw Wang Kurong's expression, he knew that the young man in front of him had to consider himself, and he groaned slightly. I picked up the gift list again and searched carefully. Qingliangzi looked left and right, and looked back and forth, but there was no address secret record, and there were no hidden verses. I opened the gift list again and looked at it, only to see that the name and number of gifts were still written on the gold page of the gift list, and there was no abnormality. Could it be ......
Qingliangzi slowly probed his spiritual power into the golden page of the gift list, and suddenly saw that there was a space ten meters square inside. There are the same things neatly stacked in this space, aren't they just these gifts on the gift list! This mustard seed space magic power brought a very big visual impact, and Qingliangzi was shocked again.
"Amitabha...... Amitabha Buddha ...... that the three donors are really not ordinary ordinary people. Well...... The old man lost his temper, this is not the place to speak, please go to the abbot's courtyard to see the tea. Although Qingliangzi was shocked, after all, he has practice, and he can still restrain the abnormal movement in his heart and stay calm. Immediately invited Wang Kurong and the three of them to move to the abbot's courtyard.
Wang Kurong and the three of them walked through the Qingliang Temple with the abbot of Qingliangzi, and there was a scene in three steps in the Qingliang Temple, which had a bit of the charm of the southern garden. Because the abbot's courtyard was deep in the valley, a group of four people walked out of Qingliang Temple, passed through a rice field, and then turned a small hill, and saw a lonely house built against the mountain in front. It is said that it is the abbot's house, but in fact it is just three houses and a fence. The three of them followed Qingliangzi into the abbot's courtyard, and saw some farming tools, hoes, etc. in the corner of the wall.
"The master is really a monk who has attained the Tao, and when he recites sutras and meditates and participates in Zen, he is in the middle of the mountains and rivers, and he is really envious of us laymen." When Wang Kurong saw a hoe in the corner of the wall, he knew that Qingliangzi was not only an enlightened monk, but also a pragmatic monk. I can't help but feel a sense of closeness in my heart, because Wang Kurong grew up in the farmland when he was a child.
"Hehe, Wang Gaoshi praised it falsely. Please ...... inside" Qingliangzi smiled slightly, folded his hands and invited Wang Kurong and the three of them to sit inside.
"Please sit down with the three Masters for a while, and wait for the old man to boil water and make tea." After Qingliangzi finished speaking, she turned around and was about to walk towards the kitchen.
"Master, I'll come......" Rong Jing watched Wang Kurong and Abbot Qingliangzi playing all the way, and she didn't have the right to speak all the way, so she finally seized the opportunity to speak, where could she let it go. Besides, Master Qingliangzi is a master in the world, and he can't afford to let the master boil water and make tea himself, so he hurriedly took over this job.
