Chapter 87: The Great Compassion Temple

The flower fairy was mentioned above, so this article is the first time I met the flower fairy with Brother Cao, it was an incident that occurred during the preparation period when I was preparing to partner with Lao Cao to open Taoyuan Feng Shui Xuan, according to the horror level should be seventy points (the curse is scored fifty-five points in my place), and it involves some things that are not suitable for children, in line with the concept of protecting minors, I personally recommend that minors be cautious.

Also, the Haicheng Dabei Temple mentioned in the article is only needed for the novel, the characters in it are all processed, and there has been no real temple in China for a long time, so readers should not take it seriously.

It was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Brother Cao and I embarked on the journey to Haicheng Dabei Temple, I had long heard that this temple is more authentic in China, and the abbot Shi Miaoxiang is also very strict.

At noon, I got off at Haicheng Station, this station is sitting west to east, because it is a county-level city, the station is very dilapidated, according to Brother Cao, this feng shui master, most of our domestic stations should be this direction, after all, facing the east belongs to the east red, the sun rises, the back is not explained, easy to give harmony; When the two of us just walked out of the station, immediately a group of drivers surrounded us, scrambling to ask where we are going, it is estimated that every city is like this, here I advise friends who are out of the house, try not to take a taxi or carpool in the station, airport and other downtown areas, because this has become an unspoken rule in China, we sent these drivers who are ready to rip off customers one by one, and then walk along a pedestrian street selling goods to the city center.

In front of a shopping mall called Yamato, we stopped a green taxi, when asked that we were going to go to the Great Compassion Temple, the driver happily agreed, the price is 20 yuan, directly to the station, no meter, no bills. I wanted to know more about the temple from the driver's mouth, so I didn't make a counteroffer, and got in the car and went straight to the Dabei Temple.

Through the driver, we learned that there are two Dabei Temple in this area, one is that we are about to go, and the other is called Dabei Ancient Temple, the difference is that we are going to be composed of monks, and Dabei Ancient Temple is composed of laymen, because the fame of Dabei Temple is too great in the later period, so Dabei Ancient Temple has been suppressed, and this driver master also said that every year he alone, at least hundreds of people have to go to Dabei Temple; And there are really not a few people who go to the Great Compassion Ancient Temple. The driver also said: The leader of the Great Compassion Ancient Temple (we generally call it Lin Chang), as well as a son and a daughter, the implication is that the face of the deception is big, I laughed and said nothing, after all, the driver does not understand the meaning of the layman.

When we asked which of the eight major sects of Buddhism this temple belonged to, the driver amused us with one sentence: "If I had the ability to remember these things, I would have gone to university a long time ago." "Maybe the driver doesn't know that in his time, college students were still a name that everyone dreams of becoming, and today, a university enrollment expansion system has made college students become the chicken ribs of China's workplace, and they are tasteless and abandoned. When it comes to college students, the driver master also told us an interesting thing, many years ago, a student, in the case of enough scores, was robbed of a place, failed to be admitted to the university, anxious and angry, almost crazy, lost Miaoxiang presided over the pointing, zuihou The student came to the Dabei Temple in three steps and one knock, and became a monk of the temple. Moreover, Miao Xiang, the abbot of the temple, is said to have walked more than 3,000 kilometers completely by turning into a fate, and the driver told us what he knew about the temple one by one without logic.

These little stories told by the driver gave me a preliminary understanding of the Great Compassion Temple, and I simply explained my speculation to Brother Cao: "If Buddhism is based on the eight sects of sexuality, phase, Taiwan, Xian, Zen, purity, law, and Esoteric, the Great Compassion Temple should be closer to Zen and Esoteric, but I don't know what scriptures are the main ones, so it is difficult to make a conclusion, if it is based on the "Great Nikjing" or "Diamond Sutra", then it is similar to Brother Shan (there will be a separate explanation about Brother Shan in the future), it is Tantric, However, now China's Tantra is concentrated around Tibet, as for other cities, such as Shisheng Temple in Shenyang, it should also be Tibetan Tantra, but it is difficult to say whether there are still people who practice Tantra in it, so now those who want to find Tantra are better to go to Tibet first, and the mantras of Tantra are basically not transmitted, and a master only takes one apprentice in his life, which is equivalent to a radish and a pit; If it is mainly based on the "Lenga Sutra" or "Lengyan Sutra", it is Zen Buddhism, and it is simple to find Zen Buddhism - Shaolin Temple, so sometimes we call some monks Zen masters, that is, because of the relationship between Zen Buddhism; The ancestor of Zen Buddhism should be Bodhidharma, and then began to develop downward, and later branched out, just a Zen Buddhism, there are five families and seven sects, and then subdivided it is more complicated, as for the Zen Lengyan mantra is the king of the spell, can break all evil arts, with the saying of playing games called BUG, but everyone can learn, as for the effect depends on your personal wisdom root. ”

"You're not going to kick the gym, are you?" The driver saw that I had said so many theories about Buddhism in one breath, and suddenly came up with such a sentence.

"Absolutely not." Brother Cao hurriedly took it and said, "We are here to visit Zen Master Miaoxiang, don't worry!" ”

"I don't think so, if you kick the hall, get me off as soon as possible, I won't take such people to the temple!" The driver muttered that through the driver's language, I can also verify that the abbot of the Great Compassion Temple, Miaoxiang, is definitely a respectable Zen master, relying on his own strength, in exchange for the respect of the people, but now there are fewer and fewer people. Even though this is the case at the moment, I am afraid that after a long time, this Zen master will not be able to control his desires and become the same as other false monks. On the third day of the first three years of the first three years, I went to the Dabei Temple alone again, the original temple that did not catch gold, but now it has invested more than a billion yuan, and the original temple on the left side of the mountain was knocked out, and then the temple was rebuilt, and as soon as I entered the door, there was a building like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, set up at the door, all imitated the white marble railing, anyway, a lot of buildings were built, the original intention was to reminisce with the host, after seeing these buildings, I knew that the Dabei Temple had also fallen, so I completely dispelled the idea of reminiscing, Of course, this is a later story, so I won't say much about it in this article for the time being.

After driving for about 25 minutes, we arrived at the destination of this time - Dabei Temple, the car was parked far away from the main entrance of the temple, it should be the driver has a sense of awe, paid the fare and stood at the main entrance, I carefully looked at the temple where the Dharma is used to protect the world, I know six of the seven tricks of architecture - I don't know anything, so I can only describe it according to my feelings, this is a small temple, basically a one-story building, a house with a straight face, a bit like "Journey to the West" when Sun Wukong and Erlang God PK, The house that changed, there are so many side halls on both sides, an incense burner at the door, engraved with four big characters below - forbidden to put money, there is also a notice at the door, probably the meaning is not to collect money, and no one is entrusted to collect incense money, so it seems that the Great Compassion Temple is indeed a serious temple.
