Xu Le smiled and waved his hand, "It's just a coincidence"!

In fact, Donglin Temple was not big, and it was over after an hour, and then Xu Le and the other three were invited to the VIP room by Yin Chuan Rangxiu, Xu Le first introduced Yu Changshui and Zhong Quan to Yin Chuan Rangxiu, and then Yin Chuan also introduced relevant people here!

Yu Changshui is also very honored, this Donglin Temple is the first temple in Xunyang, the status is lofty, today is really fortunate to be able to meet the abbot is really a blessing in life!

Xu Le introduced the morning's events, and the abbot also sighed, and then said to Xu Le and Yu Changshui, "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, there must be a good reward"!

After everyone sat down, Yin Chuan let Xiu introduce himself to Xu Le again, and in five or four years, he went to Yunju Mountain Zhenru Zen Temple to pay tribute to Xuyun Da Rangxiu, and Xu Le came to the spirit as soon as he heard it!

"How did the master take over the Void Old Dharma Lineage and get to the Pure Land Sect?"

"Why do you have to tell so clearly"? Then everyone laughed, Xu Le also laughed, too, too, they are all Buddhism!

Huiyuan in 402 in front of the statue of Amitabha Buddha in Lushan Panruotai, and Liu Zhimin and other 123 people, made a vow to die in the West, and practiced the Buddha Samadhi. At that time, he was about sixty-seven years old, and the name of this association was the White Lotus Society because of the white lotus planted in the ponds to the east and west of the mountain. Among the monks who participated in the association, in addition to Huiyuan, there were also Yiyong, Huizhi, Daosheng, Buddha Yasha (Brahmin of the Zobin Kingdom), Buddha Bhadra and others, praying for rebirth in the Western Elysium.

Xu Le now knows that the Zen school is actually not really passed on from Bodhidharma, it has been there since the Jin generation, it should be said that Bodhidharma has clarified this lineage, and the six ancestors are the real establishment of the Dharma lineage, and when it comes to the Divine Society, it is carried forward, and the real establishment of the long-standing Dharma lineage is Qingyuan Xingsi and Nanyue Huairang.

Later, Xu Le and Yin Chuan let Xiu talk about the method of chanting the scriptures, and everyone listened to it with relish, while Xu Le was constantly comparing his own practice, and he found that the Buddhist school was very detailed in some aspects, "Samadhi is the act of concentrating thoughts in one place and turning into silence. Moreover, "there are many kinds of samadhi, and there are many names, among which the one with high merit and easy to practice is the first to chant the Buddha (samadhi)," and Hui Yuan is the Prazhou Samadhi, and he said, "The one with high merit and easy to practice is the first to chant the Buddha." This kind of recitation of the Buddha Samadhi is based on the translation of the Buddha Samadhi Sutra translated by Zhilou Jia. They recited Amitabha Buddha in their hearts with strict vows and excellent meditation, and in fact or in a dream they saw Amitabha Buddha, and eventually they were willing to leave the world of karma and reincarnation and live in the Western Pure Land.

Xu Le listened to Huiyuan say in the "Preface to the Poem of Reciting the Buddha Samadhi": The whole Samadhi, that name is very important, and it is the chanting of the Buddha that is high in merit and easy to move forward. In order to obtain this samadhi, he prayed to the Pure Land of the West for six hours a day in Prajnadai, and it can be seen from here how earnestly and sincerely Huiyuan practiced chanting Buddha.

Recite Nam no Amitabha Buddha a thousand times a day, do four or eight prostrations, worship the Buddha every day, three times during the day and three times at night, be diligent and unremitting, and make a strong vow.

"Master Xu, this is the method of chanting Buddhism in Lushanliu, which integrates chanting Buddha and Zen, so do you think it is necessary to distinguish it so clearly?" Yin Chuan made Xiu smile, and Xu Lelian said, "It's a picture"!

"Zhong Quan, do you understand?" Xu Le said to Zhong Quan, Zhong Quan nodded, his understanding of these was more profound, and his heart slowly became gentle!

"Where is the end of Lord Xu's trip"?

"Master, I am going to Yunju Mountain Zhenru Zen Temple in the afternoon, this is the end of my trip, and it is also where my private affairs are!"

Xu Le thought for a moment and then said:

"What does the master mean when he said that the master was leaving?"

"Before my teacher left, he said that he kept the precepts with one clothes, and when he met someone, he said everything"! Yin Chuan Rangxiu said, "I've been thinking about it for nearly forty years, and it wasn't until I met Xu Shizhu today that I knew what the ancestor said!"

Xu Le was stunned for a moment, "Hold one dress and keep the precepts, and when you meet someone, you will say everything?" Words are endless, words can't help but be endless, words are endless? ”

He nodded, knowing that it couldn't be so easy!

"Master, do you have any study of Hinayana Buddhism?" This is Xu Le's heart disease!

"Master Xu, I have a little study of the early sects, so that we will have a fast meal after a while, and after eating the fast, I will accompany you to Zhenru Zen Temple, it just so happens that I have not passed for a while, and there are some things that I think it is better to hand over to Lord Xu over there"!

Yin Chuan let Xiu say, Xu Le didn't understand, what does it mean, what do you have to hand over to me, and you have to go to Zhenru Temple to hand it over to me, what does this mean?

But he didn't say anything, this toss was more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and then everyone had a meal together, about two o'clock, Yin Chuan let Xiu take Xu Le and they went to the warehouse, not let him pick his own wood, two, one is camphor and the other is Liuchao pine, and finally Xu Le asked Zhong Quan to choose one by himself, and then let Yu Changshui also pick one and put it at home to worship, and finally he picked two camphor with two big arms thick, and the six dynasty pine is okay, if the peach wood is okay, he still remembers the agreement that the hundred-year-old lightning struck the peach wood, hey, the people are gone, or the camphor will be done!

The most important thing is that this camphor was planted by Master Huiyuan himself, and it is also the Buddha's fruit position!

Yin Chuan asked Xiu to have his own car, and when Xu Le and the others walked to the side of the car, he asked Ah Zhong to give Yu Changshui a business card, and when Yu Changshui got Xu Le's business card, he was in a trance, a cadre of the deputy office? Oh my God, so young, and our deputy mayor of Xunyang is at the same level, how old is this, but even so, it won't let Yin Chuan let Xiu be humble to such a point, he couldn't figure it out, but he still respectfully took the business card, and finally Xu Le said to him: "If you call me when you come to Kyoto one day, you will be rewarded for doing more good deeds, thank you"!

Then they said goodbye, Xu Le followed Yin Chuan Rangxiu and left Donglin Temple and went straight to Zhenru Temple!

After Yu Changshui, who came home in the evening, told his lover about this afternoon's events, his lover Gan Lihui suddenly thought of someone, she looked at the business card and said, "Is this Xu Le wearing a Taoist uniform?"

"Yes, I've always thought this was a liar, but when I saw these dozens of cheats, I knew I made a lot of money, people said that I was asked to take five copies, but I took one, and then he gave me a copy of chasing the wind legs, and these three books only allow the two of us to practice, I finally went to 20,000 yuan, and handed them over to that family, hey"!

"You did the right thing, this thing is not a matter of money at all, you remember that this person can have a good relationship"! Gan Lihui said to her lover, because she received a call from her aunt who was a Taoist aunt a few days ago, asking her to protect one person, that is, Mr. Yanwu! And now that "Dragon and Tiger Cheats" is actually in his hands, is there such a coincidence? Can it be simple for someone who can make my aunt pay so much attention, I don't seem to have seen my aunt talk to me so seriously!

All the way is a mountain road, from two o'clock in the afternoon to drive for more than three hours and finally arrived at the Zhenru Temple, if it is Xu Le himself, two hours is enough, even if the road is not easy to walk, but there is no way, the front of the Yin Chuan let the show's car not work, but no matter what, the Zhenru Temple has finally arrived, Xu Le thought in his heart is that he is finally going home to turn!

As soon as Xu Le's car was parked, they saw a group of monks and laypeople coming from a distance!

Xu Le got out of the car with a stick, in front of him was an artificial lake, on the opposite side of the lake is a long stream of houses, longer than the surface of the lake, roughly five or six rows of appearance, until halfway up the mountainside, not particularly high, but it gives people a quiet, solemn, and heavy sense of history, but he thinks where the things are!

Seeing a group of people coming over, Xu Le also walked towards him!

Then I saw that the one who walked in the front was also a seventy-year-old old Jean Xiu, Xu Le also admired them, his health was so good!

"Senior brother auspicious", the person who came bowed to Yin Chuan to let Xiu Heshi, and then bowed to Xu Le, "Good donor Xu"!

Then Xu Le saw a man in his forties, about 1.75 meters tall, wearing white glasses, and stretched out his hand to Xu Le, "Deputy Xu's office is good"!

Xu Leyi frowned, he now wonders if he leaked the news somewhere, he has not been idle all the way, it is obviously a private matter, how to get it to the end is almost known to the world, what is this called, I am out to do something, to put it mildly, I am here to steal something!

What does this make me do at night? Am I still a little free?

"Lao Qu is now the host of Zhenru Zen Temple, Chengyi Rangxiu, is the junior brother of Senior Brother Yinchuan, and this is Director An Zuowang, the director of the Sect Affairs Office"!

Xu Le hurriedly folded his hands and saluted, "Good master, good Director An"!

"Master Xu, I heard from my senior brother that you will arrive in the afternoon, and I am very happy, I can finally see my real body!"

Xu Le didn't even dare to say it, who did I offend here, as for it, but fortunately, at least from the current point of view, the Han Chuan lineage has not shown much disgust!

"Deputy Xu's office has worked hard all the way, I heard that you have already been to Shaolin Temple"! Director An knows Xu Le's itinerary very well, he is all half-anti-rebels!

What's so good about being an official, I don't have any time for myself, Xu Le thought angrily in his heart, and he got angry when he thought about it!

Thinking about going back, I told my godmother that I wouldn't do it, I couldn't do this job!

"Deputy Xu, Director An, let's go inside, although it's already dark, but the night is really like a Zen temple is also a different scenery!"

Subsequently, Xu Le followed everyone inside, someone next to him to speak, walked to the entrance of the three doors together, everyone entered from the left door, and then, a forty or fifty-year-old monk, slowly began to explain, "Hello leaders, I am Wen Chun, I will talk about the history of our Zhenru Zen Temple, our temple was founded in the Yuan and Yuan years of Tang Xianzong, that is, 810 years, the founding patriarch is Daorong Zen Master." It is the ancestral garden of Caodong and is one of the three model temples in the country.

The modern Zen school of great virtue Xuyun Zen master passed away in the temple. The most distinctive feature here is its temple style of paying equal attention to agriculture and Zen, as early as the Song Dynasty, the abbot Faru Zen master advocated, "standing outside the peak on the side, leading water and watering vegetables in front of the five elders". The construction area is about 10,000 square meters. In eighty-three years, it was identified as a national key temple of Buddhism in the Han region. In five or three years, Xuyun Da Rangxiu presided over the reconstruction work, and the monks led by the monks at the age of 100 to open up the wasteland, plough the acres, hit the ground and throw bricks, rebuild the temple, and then sculpt the Buddha statue. To 59 years, the temple monks have been completed, the construction area is about 6,600 square meters, more than 50 Buddha statues in the new plastic temple, there are more than 120 monks abbots. After the Xuyun Da let Xiu pass away, Master Xingfu and Master Hai Deng successively served as the abbot of Zhenru Zen Temple.

Now, with the support of governments at all levels, we have repaired the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Dining Hall, the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, the Meditation Hall, the Xuhuai Building, the Yunhai Building and other buildings, covering an area of nearly 5,000 square meters; Later, the temple buildings such as the mountain gate, the abbot, the shadow hall and the treasury were added, more than 200 Buddha statues were reshaped, and 41 pagodas of the ancestors of the past dynasties such as Daorong and Daoying were repaired, with a total construction area of more than 8,000 square meters.

In 82 years, the new "Void Cloud Let Show Shede Tower" was built; In 90 years, in order to commemorate the merits of Master Xuyun in rebuilding Zhenru Zen Temple, the "Xuyun Memorial Hall" was built. ”

Subsequently, everyone followed Master Wen Chun to go inside, with the three gates as the central axis, the three gates are the Luohan Bridge, and then the Tianwang Palace, the Wei Tuo Palace, the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, the Guest Hall and the Daxiong Treasure Palace, according to the size of the temple, there are other halls, mostly the brick and wood structure of the palace-style heavy double eaves large bay, covered with cast iron tiles.

In the center of the hall is dedicated to the founder of the Buddhist school, Shakya, in the east is the Medicine Buddha, in the west is the Amitabha Buddha, and on both sides are the eighteen arhats.

Xu Le looked at it with his hands behind his back, and then walked around to the side of the auspicious dragon Arhat, and found that it was a red cloth covering him, "Huh"?

Master Wen Chun saw Xu Le staring at this statue and hurriedly said, "I found that a piece of paint has fallen off today, so we quickly put it on first, it will hinder the view!"

Xu Le smiled, okay, okay, okay, you don't even want your face, right? Let me not even look at it, are you brides?

The Heavenly King Hall is the first hall in the mountain gate, and the two sides of the hall are dedicated to the four heavenly kings. On both sides of the Wei Dao Hall are built bell towers and drum towers. There are three Bodhisattvas at the back of the Mahavira Hall, with Fugen Bodhisattva in the west, Guanyin Bodhisattva in the middle, and Manjushri Bodhisattva in the east. Behind the Daxiong Hall is the Dharma Hall of Zhenru Temple, which is the place where the temple teaches the Dharma and receives ordination. The building of the Dharma Hall is a two-story building, on top of which is the Scripture Building, and on the left is the abbot's room, which is next to the Dharma Hall. On the opposite side of the abbot's room is the storeroom. Outside the meditation hall is a flat land, where there is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, it is more than 30 meters high, the diameter is nine meters around, it is said that it is planted by the Taoist Zen master himself. Xu Le touched it with his hand, no one knew what he was doing, he felt very comfortable, Xu Le also touched those small trees in Donglin Temple, there was no feeling, no breath flowed into the body, it must be an ancient tree, the longer the year, the better, it is best to be carried by some well-known people, even if it is hearsay, as long as it is an ancient tree, that kind of natural growth breath, but Xu Le can still distinguish which ones seem to be problematic, and the tree body is sick!

Bypassing the ancient tree is the Xuyun Memorial Hall. Xu Le looked at the memorial hall that was like a thatched house, and felt a little anxious in his heart, a generation of grandmasters, who had cultivated many Buddhist dragon elephants of high monks and great virtues, was actually just such a "cloud dwelling thatched canopy" style, covering an area of more than 200 square meters, the outer wall was all made of granite, and it was a wood and stone structure imitating the Song Dynasty palace-style building, covered with Chu colored glazed tiles, very simple and solemn. In the hall, there is a one-meter-high virtual cloud to let the bronze sitting statue. Xu Le respectfully bowed to the statue of Master Xuyun, this is a person who is truly worthy of respect, Xu Le looked at the five-character craftsman of "Xuyun Memorial Hall" inscribed by Yidao. They looked at the pictures of Xuyun Rangxiu's life deeds, writings, relics, etc., Xu Le looked at Baijiayi, thinking about the scene of Lao Rangxiu taking the monks to open up the wasteland, and he was indeed very emotional, from 1840 to the last west in 59, it was a magnificent scene of Chinese Buddhism, Xu Le was actually not disgusted with Buddhism, mainly because it involved his own affairs, so there was no way, but it did not affect his admiration for these high monks!

Subsequently, we went to see more than 20 monk towers around the temple, and the retained Buddha seal and Su Dongpo's talking stone and Zhaozhou Pass, Mingyue Lake and other words stone carvings are many places. As well as the unearthed cultural relics from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, as well as the white fruit tree of the Tang Dynasty and the large iron pot of thousands of monks cast during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. , the ginkgo tree did not let go, yes, the effect is very good, this ginkgo tree is full of vitality, so that Xu Le is warm!

Subsequently, Master Wen Chun told everyone about the lineage of Zhenru Zen Temple, the origin of Caodong Sect, which was founded by Liangbei Rangxiu and Ben Lin Rangxiu in Ganzhou Dongshan and Caoshan respectively, mainly to promote the idea that the director is not two, and the body is not hindered. The Cao Shan Dharma system was cut off after four transmissions, and only relied on the Dongshan Dharma System Daoying Zen Master in Yunju Mountain to be true like the Dharma of the Temple, so that it could be passed down. Zhenru Zenji Temple is the source of the Soto sect. Among the five sects of the Zen sect, the three sects of Weiyangzong, Yunmen Sect, and Fayan Sect were all lost after the Song Dynasty, and only the two families of Linji Sect and Caodong Sect were preserved. Daoying's apprentice, Silla Yunju, founded the Sumeru Mountain School of the Chodong sect of Goryeo. When Dao Yuan, a monk of the Dog Day Kingdom, went to China to seek the Dharma, and introduced the Caodong Sect into the Dog Day Kingdom, and the Buddhist sect of the Dog Day Kingdom respected the Zhenru Zen Temple as one of the ancestral courts of the Caodong Sect. Known as the fiftieth abbot of Nanhua Temple, the former abbot of Nanhua Temple, only because of the present effect, vigorously advocated "Dongyun Zhengzong", and established the Tao as the second ancestor.

Later, most of them were representatives of the Rinzai sect, including the Buddha seal Zen master.

Everyone looked at the so-called Zhaozhou Pass again, which is said to have been said to have a Tang generation Zhaozhou let Xiu go up the mountain to visit Daoying Zen Master, Daoying sent him down the mountain, and said goodbye at the pass, so it was called "Zhaozhou Pass". In the Guanlou, located in front of the Zhenru Zen Temple, the area is about 2,000 square meters, the monks of the past dynasties released their lives here, because the place is located in the center of the Lotus City, so it is named "Lotus Pond". Shuangfei Bridge is located in front of Zhaozhou Guannei Zhenru Zen Temple, the confluence of two streams next to the mountain on the right side, because the stream rushes like flying, it is called Shuangfei Bridge.

Xu Le didn't see the meaning of Shuangfei? Maybe it's because of winter, the water flow is not big, and when it comes to summer, you can fly together, he thought with a smile in his heart!
