"Kaifu Ancient Temple!"
On Saturday, Zhen Xiaochun paid a 10 yuan ticket in the afternoon and entered Kaifu Temple. The area around Kaifuji Temple is being demolished, but the incense is still very strong.
With the flow of people, Zhen Xiaochun entered the front hall.
The front hall is called the Maitreya Hall, which is dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha, as well as the Veda Bodhisattva, the four heavenly kings. In front of Maitreya Buddha, there is a row of oil lamps, and the sesame oil is vigorous, and it is said that it is the vow lamp lit by the person who came back to pay the vow.
Zhen Xiaochun does not believe in Buddhism, and he can't tell the level of the Bodhisattva, but when he sees the Buddha, he also bows and prays for peace.
On the left side of the inner door, there is a middle-aged monk interpreting the hexagram, and there is a divination cylinder on the table, and there are many unknown yellow papers.
Zhen Xiaochun asked in the past, how to charge for divination, and the middle-aged monk pointed to the merit box and the merit thin. The merits are densely memorized, and the least donated is 50 yuan, and the largest donation is thousands of yuan.
Zhen Xiaochun smiled, touched his nose with his hand, and deliberately showed the Buddha bead necklace on his hand, but the great monk did not react.
Divination, Zhen Xiaochun had no money, so he had no choice but to leave this hall.
The nave is the famous Mahavira Hall, 20 meters high, and the white marble Buddha statue is enshrined in the center. The Venerable Ananda and the Venerable Kasa stood on either side. Immediately against the back of Shakyamuni Buddha, the golden thousand-armed and thousand-eyed Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is enshrined.
Legend has it that Shakyamuni Buddha is the master of wealth, fortune, Guanyin Bodhisattva, marriage, and children. There are many followers of the two Buddhas.
The two main Buddhas are here, and there are many people who come to worship.
There is also an old monk here to explain the hexagram in the main hall, Zhen Xiaochun walked past him with a bracelet, and the old monk did not find anything strange.
Interpreting hexagrams or something, it's really all a lie. The Buddha treasure is right in front of me, and I haven't found it, and I can't get home by chanting the scriptures.
There are treasures in the air, no one knows them, and life is as lonely as snow.
Zhen Xiaochun flicked his sleeves and walked out of the last hall.
The apse is the Vilu Temple, which is dedicated to the Buddha statue of Virujana, and there are 500 Arhats around it. In this hall, in addition to burning incense tourists, there are dozens of people sitting quietly in front of the Buddha and chanting silently.
Virujana, Chinese translation: Equal Enlightenment, Immeasurable Dharma Realm, is one of the merit names of the ninth body Buddha among the ten Buddhas of the Huayan Sutra. In the tantric system, it is the highest position of the Nyorai, and in the one-fold method, it is the bodhisattva of the nine elements of the good dharma. The merit possessed, "all dharmas are equal", that is, the great day is coming.
Zhen Xiaochun's mobile phone Baidu, learned that this Buddha is the Great Ri Rulai, no wonder so many people worship.
Zhen Xiaochun found a vacant seat, sat cross-legged, held a pure heart Buddha bead bracelet, and chanted Amitabha.
Reciting Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha blessed, and did not bring Zhen Xiaochun into the realm of concentration again, thinking that he could enter the realm of concentration that time, it was a matter of chance.
Although there is no Buddha light shining in his mind, with the blessing of the pure heart Buddha beads, Zhen Xiaochun feels that his heart is calm, and there is no other thought or thought.
People have seven emotions and six desires, to do without thinking and thoughtless, it is extremely difficult to be in a state of tranquility, not to practice for several years, just like ordinary people say dreams.
But with the Pure Heart Buddha Bead Bracelet, every time Zhen Xiaochun has a distracting thought born in his mind, he will be extinguished by a clear water. After the thought is extinguished, the thought does not come to an end.
People have three thousand threads of trouble, all of which can be cut. No worries, great freedom.
Reciting Amitabha Buddha 3,000 times, Zhen Xiaochun's face was calm, his mouth was smiling, pointing to the sky and the earth down, which was exactly what the Buddha showed on the big day.
Reciting Amitabha Buddha orally and visualizing the Dharma of the Great Day is the basic view of the Buddha's cultivation. Buddha has a fate, it is extremely difficult to get started, many people have recited the scriptures for a lifetime, and they can't learn the skin, all because people have desires and miscellaneous thoughts.
There is no definite thought, no thought is not a thought.
Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust.
Zhen Xiaochun at this moment is like this. There is no thought in the heart, free and easy, from the eternal ancients, to the eternal ancient, the body is in the red dust, and the heart is outside the six realms.
In Henggu, a beam of light suddenly appeared. This beam of light, like an introduction, appeared more and more golden light, and finally turned into a simple Buddha statue.
This Buddha statue is like a big day, and it is like the old monk yesterday, and finally turned into Zhen Xiaochun's own appearance.
With this appearance, Zhen Xiaochun's thoughts were clear, and he felt that his mental power was growing rapidly. Spiritual power is originally in all parts of the body, receiving its own traction, like a stream flowing out of the body, converging into a big river, and finally rushing into the feet of the Buddha, forming a sea of spiritual power.
"Buddha Light!" Behind the golden Buddha statue of the Great Ri Rulai, a seven-colored halo suddenly appeared.
"The Buddha has appeared."
"The Bodhisattva has appeared." The men and women of the faith bow down, and when they get up, the Buddha is still the Buddha, where is there any colorful halo.
But everyone saw it, dazzling, definitely not everyone was dazzled, and soon the entire temple knew about the Buddha's apparition.
This incident alarmed the host, the current host is called Shi Nengkong, originally a monk in Wutai Mountain, a monk who has practiced for more than 30 or 40 years, with pure precepts, a strong Taoist heart, ascetic Buddhism, and rarely exposed in front of people.
Master Nengkong personally went to the Buddha hall to check, and saw that the Buddha's appearance was still the same, and no one said the colorful halo. Master Nengkong, meditating and observing, forty years of practice, finally made him find a trace of abnormality, this Buddha is not as vivid as before, as if he is a little tired.
Mo, Mo. Some people absorb all the power of faith.
Since the classical legend has been circulated: incense belief, Buddha can be spiritual. The reason why the Buddha's magic power is boundless is because of the power of faith.
Although Master Nengkong had never seen it, his spiritual power was very strong after decades of practice, and he could feel the abnormality of the Buddha.
Sweeping over the pilgrims, kneeling and worshipping, praying and praying, burning incense and meditating, there is only one person, sitting cross-legged, not happy or sad, like an ancient Buddha.
"Could it be this person who triggered the light of the Buddha's merits." Master Nengkong faintly felt that his Buddha fate was today, so he withdrew from the hall and instructed Shami to wait for this person to wake up and invite him to the meditation room to talk about it.
At this moment, the Virujana Temple was very lively, and Zhen Xiaochun was still immersed in his consciousness. In the sea of consciousness, the self sits and stands in the void, and below the self is a verdant lake, the lake is empty, and the slightest mist is inhaled into the self, and every time it is inhaled, the self becomes solid.
36 times like this, the self is saturated and can no longer be absorbed. Zhen Xiaochun woke up from his meditation and felt comfortable all over his body and in excellent spirits.
When I saw the Buddha beads in the clear heart, the color was much lighter and had turned brown. This adventure must rely on this Buddha bead.
Zhen Xiaochun played with the Buddha beads and felt that it was difficult to get anything, so he got up and left.
"Donor, our host master invites you to gather in the meditation room."
"Master Host?" Zhen Xiaochun was shocked in his heart, could it be that the host master knew that I had realized in front of this Buddha, could this supernatural statement be true?
