288. Bodhidharma smashes it against the wall
Songyue Temple, also known as the Great Pagoda Temple, is located at the southern foot of Taimur Mountain, which was a palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty royal family earlier, and was later rebuilt as a Buddhist temple. In fact, everyone knew as soon as they arrived, and now there is nothing left, and there is a tower!
Although the overall environment is surrounded by mountains, the forest and springs are beautiful, and the wonderful mountain dwelling is exhausted, it is a place of scenic spots. But only exist in this tower courtyard, the Buddhist temple is gone, in the center of the tower courtyard there is one of our country's earliest dense eaves type brick tower, the tower is about forty-five meters high, well-known at home and abroad, this is the famous Songyue temple tower, referred to as Songyue tower!
Before the tour guide could speak, Xin Ge immediately said, "I'll talk about this, I'm familiar with it"!
Xin Ge hurriedly walked to the front and began to speak, "This Songyue Temple Tower is the oldest existing dense eaves brick tower in China, which was built in the fourth year of Zhengguang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, that is, in the third year of Wu Bai's second year. The plane of the tower is dodecagonal, which is the solitary case in the tower of our country. It is 15 stories high and more than 40 meters. The corners of the ground floor are octagonal leaning columns, and round arches have been used on the lintels and Buddhist shrines, but the decoration still has a foreign style. The dense eaves are stacked and not used for bucket arches. The heart chamber of the tower is an octagonal straight well type, and it is divided into ten floors with wooden floor slabs.
The outer contour of the tower body has a soft collection, showing a slightly convex curve, the tower is also made of bricks, the bowl is placed on the simple pedestal, the waist and the lotus are raised, and then the phase wheel is seven folded and a jewel is stacked. The distance between the dense eaves is shortened layer by layer, and the score of the outer contour is well coordinated, so that the huge tower body appears stable and beautiful. The small window under the eaves not only breaks the monotony of the tower body, but also produces a contrasting effect, and is also a better treatment method. ”
Xin Ge looked at everyone and continued, "This should be a royal temple, and later when Emperor Wen of Sui and Tang Zhongzong built two towers respectively, there are Buddha teeth and Buddha relics, but they are all damaged and I don't know where the two secret treasures went, it's a pity, now this Songyue Pagoda is a monk relics pagoda"!
Everyone looked up at the pagoda that looked like a corn cob and was silent!
"How good it would be if the ruins of Huaxia were all like this", Xu Le couldn't help but say to everyone, then we don't have to bother so much!
Everyone couldn't help but laugh
"Yes, uncle, you can't build a house with clay in the future, it has to be marble!"
Xu Hong also smiled with everyone.
Looking at the pagoda in front of him, Xu Le also looked towards the lighthouse and the lighthouse of the morning glow in Luzhou, when to hurry up and walk around the northeast!
Xu Le still has some expectations for Shaolin Temple, unlike other people who have actually come to one or two trips, but there are very few professional tour guides to lead them, and some have accompanied the leaders to come, but Xu Le is indeed the first time, so they don't have much interest. Xu Le has been yearning for this temple for a long time! How popular the movie is, the "Shaolin Temple" that swept the country in the eighties is too powerful, and he is no exception, the whole village can watch it again on a TV in the brigade headquarters, how much worship, but looking back at the so-called kung fu, Xu Le wants to cry, if he can cry!
Xu Le remembered the song "Shepherd Girl" again, thinking about the appearance of the male pig's feet being chased by a dog, he couldn't help but think of Xiaobai, and he was a little homesick again!
The most important thing is that I am still more worried, I will not crack other people's Buddha statues again, I am now called "not cracked", Amitabha, bless!
Everyone had to walk for more than 20 minutes to get to the main gate of Shaolin Temple, "Everyone, there is a specially waiting master here to explain to everyone", the person who explained has not introduced himself, everyone has thanked him!
Xu Hong didn't introduce who came to the person in charge over there, he only said that his uncle came to take a look, and he knew that Xu Le didn't like this!
"Fellow donors, I am Yanxin, you can call me Yanxin or Master Yanxin, my master is Xinyong and let Xiu", everyone greeted Master Yanxin one after another!
Afterwards, Master Yanxin began to lead everyone to speak!
"Ladies and gentlemen, our temple covers an area of about 57,600 square meters, mainly including Chang Hospital, Chuzu Nunnery, Tallinn, Daxiong Treasure Hall, Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Dharma Cave, Luohan Hall, Shifang Zen Temple. There are more than 40 places such as the largest and largest number of towers in China, and there are more than 40 places such as monkey watching the sky, cloud peak and tiger roaring, sunset in Yuzhai, and autumn color in the small room. ”
Shaolin Temple was built in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (495), which was built by Emperor Xiaowen in order to place the Venerable Bada Tuo, a Buddhist monk he admired. The current abbot is the 47th and 3rd generation heirs of Soto Masamune. It is a world-famous Buddhist temple, the ancestral court of the Zen school of Han Buddhism, occupies an important position in the history of Chinese Buddhism, and is known as "the first temple in the world". It is famous all over the world for its Shaolin monks who have devoted themselves to research and development and continuous development, and is known as "the world's kung fu out of Shaolin, and Shaolin kung fu is the best in the world". ”
Xu Le nodded, this is true, especially the story of the thirteen warrior monks saving the Tang King has been passed down for a long time! In the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaders attacked the coastal areas of China, and the Shaolin monks had meritorious service in resisting the Japanese, so the Zhenganti Mansion repaired the temple on a large scale, and the Shaolin Temple also enjoyed the privileges of exempting the food difference from the government granted. Subsequently, Shaolin monks were recruited by the Ming Dynasty government at least six times, participated in wars, and repeatedly made meritorious contributions, so the imperial court repeatedly built a temple for the Shaolin Temple, and the authoritative position of Shaolin Kung Fu in the Chinese martial arts world was also established.
"In the first year of Yongping (506), the Sanskrit monks Lenamoti and Bodhi Liuzhi successively went to Shaolin Temple to open up a translation field, and set up a translation hall in the Xitai Relic Pagoda of Shaolin Temple to translate scriptures. After that, Huiguang promoted the "Four Divisions" and other teachers in Shaolin Temple, and after many generations of development, later generations finally formed the Four Divisions of the Law Sect.
Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty Xiaochang three years (527), the 28th generation of the Buddha Bodhidharma came to Shaolin Temple, he was created on the basis of Batuo, widely gathered believers, taught Zen school, Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty Tianping three years to spread the law in Huike, since then Zen in Shaolin Temple traces of circulation. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chang Hospital", everyone followed Master Yanxin from south to north along the central axis and began to walk through the mountain gate, and there were three big characters of "Shaolin Temple" mentioned by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty on the forehead. The top of the middle of the plaque is engraved with the six-character seal of "the treasure of the Kangxi imperial pen". There is a pair of stone lions in front of the mountain gate, male and female opposite. There are two stone workshops symmetrically on the east and west sides of the eight-character wall of the mountain gate, the banner outside the east stone square: "the ancestral source of the truth" four characters, and the inner banner "Batuo creates"; The banner in the West Stone Fang: "Mahayana Resort", and the outer banner: "Songshao Zen Forest". The main entrance of the mountain gate is a three-room, single-eaves hilltop building, which sits on a two-meter-high brick platform, with hard gable-style side doors and eight-character walls on the left and right.
After the mountain gate, it is the Yongdao. On both sides of the road is the stele forest under the shade of pine and cypress, because the stele stone is like a forest, so it is called the stele forest. There are more than 20 stone tablets of the past dynasties, such as "the monument of the return of the ministers of the sect to the mountain", "the monument of the Zen master of rest" and so on. There is a long corridor on the east side of the road, and there are more than 100 famous monuments from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty in the corridor, and there is the name of the Tablet Corridor. The hammer hall is on the west side of the stele forest in the mountain gate, and there are clay sculptures and wood carvings in it.
After passing through the stele forest through Yongdao is the Tianwang Palace, which is located at the end of the stele forest, and is named after the four heavenly kings who symbolize "wind, tune, rain and shun". The hall has red walls and green tiles, the bucket arch is painted, and there is a statue of King Kong on the left and right in front of the partition screen in the door. Three heavy eaves rest the temple on the top of the mountain, there are two big King Kong outside, and the inside is the statue of the four heavenly kings, which is majestic and majestic.
The Daxiong Hall is located behind the Hall of the Heavenly King. The Daxiong Hall is the center of the temple's Buddhist activities, and is called the three major Buddha halls together with the Tianwang Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. The statue of Shakya, Medicine Buddha, Amitabha Buddha in the hall is hung in the middle of the hall of the Kangxi Emperor's imperial pen pro-book, there is a statue of Guanyin on the back wall of the screen wall, and there are eighteen Arhat statues on both sides.
Xu Le looked at the statue of the Buddha of the third generation, did not kneel or worship, held a small stick and held his hand behind his back, and a third of the stick came out, everyone looked as if he was shouting with the Buddha!
Xu Le didn't think about shouting, he was just thinking about who I offended you, and I couldn't say that I offended, who offended my grandmother, what was it for?
He looked at the statue of Shakya Buddha, did you participate or not, he has been thinking about this question, or are you also a victim? Headache!
Then, another stick knocked on his head in the back, and it rang!
"Fellow donors, this is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, it has just been rebuilt, and it hasn't been done yet, so let's not go in first", Yanxin led everyone to the west of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, "This is the Hall of the Six Ancestors."
Everyone followed Yanxin to see that the front of the hall of the six ancestors is enshrined in the great trend to the Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Fuxian Bodhisattva, Jizo Bodhisattva, both sides are enshrined in the first ancestor of the Zen sect Dharma, the second ancestor Hui Ke, the third ancestor Monk Can, the fourth ancestor Daoxin, the fifth ancestor Hongren, the sixth ancestor Huineng, known as the six ancestors worship Guanyin, the west wall is a large color sculpture "Bodhidharma only walks in the west to return to the map".
Xu Le looked at this picture and thought of stone leather shoes, why did you come here for a long time? Do you have such a good heart to preach the scriptures and preach the Fa, or are you here to find things, now Xu Le has opinions on all outsiders, it can't be that he sent batches of people to grab things, right?
Grandma said, aren't you here for what I have?
Why exactly? Guan? Qi energy? That blood? The most unlikely thing is qi energy, this one is useful but of little significance, that is the drop of blood? Or Guanshan,? Or both?
Another point, how did they know that their grandmother had this thing on her, was it someone or a demon clan leaking secrets? Who, the fox clan?
Xu Le looked at the stone leather shoes, and he didn't know where he flew?
"Dear donors, this stele is engraved as "Emperor Songyue Shaolin Temple Stele", commonly known as "Li Shimin Stele", engraved in the sixteenth year of Tang Xuanzong Kaiyuan (AD 728)", everyone looked at this inscription, the front is Li Shimin told Shaolin Temple on the temple master and other people's teachings, commended the Shaolin Temple monks to help Tang Pingding Wang Shichong's military exploits, the fifth line from the right has Li Shimin personally initialed the word "Shimin", the stele is engraved "Taizong Wen Emperor Imperial Book" seven big characters are Tang Xuanzong Li Longji Imperial Book. The back is engraved with Li Shimin's "Monument to the Imperial Book of Baiguzhuang of Shaolin Temple", which describes the story of the thirteen stick monks saving the King of Qin, and is also the historical basis for the filming of the film "Shaolin Temple".
"This is the Dharma Pavilion, also known as the Lixue Pavilion, according to legend, this is the place where the second ancestor Hui Ke stood in the snow and asked the Dharma Patriarch for the Dharma with his broken arm." The shrine in the hall is now dedicated to the bronze sitting statue of the Bodhidharma patriarch, and the two sides are the two ancestors Huike, the three ancestors of the monks, the four ancestors of Daoxin, and the five ancestors of Hongren. The plaque hanging on the niche is "Snow Seal Heart Bead" four words, for the Qing Dynasty Qianlong imperial pen pro-inscription, the font is strong, the momentum is heroic. Then everyone went to the east side of the hall is located on the west side of the Bodhidharma Pavilion, and there are the stone statues of "Amitabha Buddha" and the "Bodhidharma Face Wall Shadow Stone" in the hall.
Xu Le looked at the Dharma face wall shadow stone, and was embarrassed to say, "It's painted, right?" I may draw better, that vague and vague feeling will be more realistic, a bit fake!
Xu Le had the urge to slap him in the face, and he took a stick and knocked on his left hand!
Thousand Buddha Palace, located behind the Lixue Pavilion, also known as the Pilu Palace, is the last hall in the temple. The murals in the hall are very famous, and they are treasures in the murals of Shaolin Temple. The back of the hall and the east and west walls are painted with colorful murals, the most famous ones are "Thirteen Stick Monks Save the Tang King", "Five Hundred Arhats Pilutu", the colors are gorgeous, the composition is harmonious, the clothes are fluttering, showing the high level of the murals of the Tang Dynasty.
Xu Le looked for Venerable Qingyou again, and after looking for a long time, he felt that this person was avoiding himself, and he couldn't see who Venerable Qingyou was, vaguely, either with his head down, or his face was as black as carbon, and Xu Le didn't bother to look for it!
Anyway, this one has no face to see himself!
In the middle of the hall, there are also the bronze statue of Pilu Buddha and the statue of the white jade Shakya, the area reaches several hundred square meters, it is the largest existing temple in the temple. In addition, there is a white-clothed hall on the east side of the Thousand Buddha Temple, and a Jizo hall on the west side.
The White Clothes Palace, also known as the Guanyin Temple, is located in the northeast corner of the Shaolin Temple, and is the east wing of the last building on the central axis of the Shaolin Temple's permanent hospitalization. The wooden frame of the white-clothed hall is painted with exquisite color painting patterns, the north and south gables in the hall, the back rafter wall and the two walls of the Buddha shrine are painted with 106 square meters of exquisite color murals, the murals are painted in the late Qing Dynasty, from the hands of anonymous people.
These murals reflect the historical legends and boxing records of Shaolin Temple, among which the north and south gables are painted with scenes of 30 groups of monks practicing "Liuhe Boxing". This mural is the only one that reflects the history of Shaolin Temple and Shaolin martial arts in more than 20 existing murals in Shaolin Temple, Xu Le looked at those paintings, the kung fu diagram on the wall, looked at it for about ten minutes, as if every action and every detail were imprinted in his mind, and said to Zhong Quan, "Take a good look, Liuhe, southeast and northwest, remember to understand"!
Then I walked to the Jizo Hall and bowed to the Bodhisattva of the Jizo Temple, this is for my parents, I miss them!
Although Xu Le knows that his parents can live a long life now, who is not selfish, but there are some things that he doesn't know if he can do it, but he can't have this idea!
"This is Tallinn", Master Yanxin said, everyone stood halfway up the mountain and looked at the dense towers below, with different sizes, different heights, different thicknesses, various forms, scattered arrangements, seemingly lush forests, from the Tang Dynasty to the present all kinds of relics pagodas. Hence the name Tallinn.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first and second ancestral nunnery and the Dharma Cave are above, which of you will go halfway up the mountain?"
Xu Le has to go, this is all to the hometown of the Zen sect, can you still not go? Stay here at night anyway!
In the end, everyone followed! Zhong Quan kept thinking about the fists and feet of the thirteen stick monks on the wall, frowning for a while and puzzled for a while!
On the small mound of the peak of the five breasts above the Shaolin Temple, it is about less than three miles, there are mountain gates, large halls, wall pavilions, thousand Buddha pavilions and so on. Xu Le and they went to the Dharma Cave again, usually the Dharma Cave is not open, today is special care. In fact, this is a natural stone cave on the middle peak, which is known as the wall of the ninth year of Bodhidharma. It is said that the first patriarch of the Zen sect, Bodhidharma, meditated on the wall of this cave for nine years from 527 to 536 AD. The entrance of the cave faces southwest, there are four big characters on the stone wall on the west side of the cave outside the hole, the light is just shining on this direction at this time, the inside is black and swarthy, Xu Le saw the inside at a glance, the entrance of the cave is built with bluestone blocks into an arch, the depth of the hole is about seven meters, the height and width are more than three meters each. There are three stone statues on the platform in the cave, the middle is the sitting statue of Bodhidharma, and the two sides are its disciples; On the east wall of the cave, there are four words inscribed "the original face". There is a trace of being cut behind the statue of Bodhidharma, Xu Le's bracelet vibrates, his heart moves, and he immediately strokes it down, twists it lightly in his hand, and there is an invisible and colorless breath that is sucked from it, the bracelet looks happy, and some of them are actually fed back into Xu Le's body, Xu Le Deng, a cool, carefree feeling all over the body, very compassionate, the breath of compassion makes people immediately want to worship!
Xu Le pulled Zhong Quan and pressed towards his back Shendao acupoint, Zhong Quan didn't know why at first, but he knew that his grandfather would not harm himself, and he didn't resist, but after a while, he felt cool all over his body, and there was a soft power into his body, and finally the dryness in his body, he felt that his tongue was a little itchy, and he wanted to speak, but the tears suddenly fell!
Everyone is also a little confused, what is the situation!
After a while, Xu Le immediately stopped, and after a while, the bracelet seemed to have absorbed all the residual breath!
Xu Le was shocked in his heart, and then really stayed here for several years, he thought he was a liar at first? But that's weird, I don't feel like this breath has bad intentions, so what are you running?
And how can I still feel a sense of satisfaction and the ease of fulfilling my vows, what is going on?
When Master Yanxin saw the scene just now, he felt that a white gas came out of his eyes and then disappeared, and he immediately respected Xu Le!
Hurriedly said to Xu Le, "I didn't expect the donor to have a great relationship with my Buddhist sect!"
Xu Le smiled slightly, and also folded his hands, "It's just that I have an understanding, thank you Master Yanxin!"
The nephews and nieces of the teachers are a little confused about Xu Le now, especially Xin Ge, who didn't expect that Uncle Shi really understands the things of Buddhism!
Xu Le didn't go in, he saw it clearly outside, the most important thing is that the real good things were taken away by himself, especially Zhong Quan also got some good things, although Zhong Quan didn't know what Grandpa put into his body, but now he understands very well that Grandpa Shi is definitely not a person who only understands medicine as his godfather said, but he himself knows that there are some things that he doesn't want others to know since he does it, he bowed three times to Grandpa!
Xu Le looked at him calmly, he was also blessed just now, knowing that this kind of thing should be helpful to Zhong Quan's body, not impetuous, otherwise Zhong Quan would have to be harmed by his own martial arts practice one day, people can't always be tense, otherwise something will happen!
After everyone came out, they went to the second ancestral nunnery, the second ancestral nunnery is on the peak of the bowl and bowl peak, according to legend, the second ancestor of the Zen sect Hui Ke, learned Buddhism from Bodhidharma, and after the broken arm got the mantle and bowl, he had recuperated here. There are four wells in front of the palace, which is said to have been dug by Hui Ke. These four wells are very close to each other, but the water taste is different, named "Zhuo Xijing", and the locals also call it "bitter, spicy, sour and sweet four-eye well".
Everyone tasted it and found that it was indeed different, "Master Yanxin, I think this well will be called 'Baiwei Well' in the future, and the ups and downs of life are bitter and sour!"
When everyone heard this, they all said yes, and even Master Yanxin thought it was good!
