Chapter 34 The Signer in the Mingguang Temple
Mingguang Temple is located in the middle of the West Mountain, "there is a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain is in the ethereal space." With its magic, sacredness and mystery, Xishan has become a well-known Buddhist resort at home and abroad. It is a famous Kannon dojo in the country. Its religious activities can be traced back to Qin, from primitive Taoism on the mountains to the relics of immortal alchemy. In the first year of Tang Dazhong (847 A.D.), there were Buddhist monks who came to the Chaoyin Cave, induced the incarnation of Guanyin, and began to write the miracle in order to say the wonderful law. Tang Xiantong four years (AD 863), the Japanese monk Hui Yi master from Wutai Mountain to invite the statue of Guanyin to return to the country by boat, boat to the Lotus Ocean, hit the reef, thought that Guanyin refused to cross to the east, but left the statue in the Chaoyin Cave side to worship, so there is "unwilling to go to Guanyin". Later generations were built, and there are many temples. In its heyday, there were 3 major temples, 88 nunnery, 128 thatched tents, more than 4,000 monks, and countless believers. Every year on the 19th day of the birth of Guanyin in February of the lunar calendar, the day of Guanyin's enlightenment on June 19, and the day of Guanyin's ordination on September 19, believers from all over the world gather in the Buddha country, and the candles in the West Mountain are brilliant and the cigarettes are burning; Chanting sutras and worshipping the Buddha, all night long, its grand occasion is breathtaking. Whenever there is a Buddha event, there are celestial phenomena from time to time, and believers ask for worship, and the benefits appear repeatedly. Buddhist activities that have lasted for more than 1,000 years have made Xishan, the pure land of Zhongling Yuxiu, accumulate a profound Buddhist cultural heritage. There is a saying that "everyone is Amitabha, every household is Guanyin", and the belief in Guanyin has been called "the faith of half of Asia" by scholars.
Xishan is surrounded by the sea on all sides, the scenery is charming, the fantasy is unique, and it is known as "the first pure place in the world". The mountains and rocks, the cliff carvings of the temple towers, and the sound of Sanskrit waves are all full of the mystery of Buddhism. The island is full of trees, ancient camphor, birds and flowers.
On the platform in front of the Daxiong Hall of Mingguang Temple, the crowd is endless, there are groups of three or five, and there are also those who come alone; There are men and women, old and young; Some prayed for peace, some prayed for wealth, and some young girls prayed for a wishful marriage, all with their own purposes; They lit pairs of candles in front of the candlesticks, inserted them into the candlesticks, and then lit the incense, raised their heads high, bowed a few times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner, as if the bodhisattvas could bless them.
The Daxiong Treasure Hall is carved and painted with beams, and the heavy eaves are flying, majestic and magnificent; In the hall, the Buddha statues of Sakyamuni and Wenzhu are splendid, stand tall on the Buddha platform, and the relief carvings of eight hundred Arhats and Bodhisattvas on the walls on both sides are lifelike; All kinds of prayer flags written with "Nam no Amitabha" are hung from the beams, and several chandeliers hang in the air like stars, all of which give people a sense of solemnity and holy spirit.
Several monks wore cloud brocade robes, wore pipa hats, big cymbals and drums, and kept beating Buddhist music, Master Huijue held a wooden fish mallet in his hand, knocked for a while and stopped for a while, beating rhythmically, one hand as a gesture, under his guidance, reciting the Lotus Sutra, I saw that his eyes were slightly closed, his lips moved slightly, and no one could hear what he was reciting. There is a saying: the old monk recites the scriptures, and he has no mouth but no heart. He bowed his head for a while, put his hands together for a while, and several monks and black-clothed believers followed the same movements to the sound of Buddhist music, and this place seemed to have become a sacred place for them to wash their hearts and faces.
During the interval of chanting, a middle-aged woman, I saw her dressed in black, kneeling in front of the Buddha platform, holding a stick holder in both hands, only to hear her shake "click", a bamboo stick jumped out of the tube, the signature number was 40, and then, she took the bamboo stick, came to Master Huijue's desk, and asked Master Huijue to unsign for her.
According to the number on the bamboo stick, Master Huijue found the No. 40 signature note, only to see that the signature reads: "Upper, middle, lower, lower, middle, lower."
Be careful. Keep the score up.
After Xunhua. Demoted to the public platform. Follow the straight and narrow. It can only be protected from disasters.
Explanation: Don't say that this year's luck has been passed. Who knows that things are different. The leaky house was even affected by overnight rain. The broken ship was hit by a headwind.
Broken said: net plant lotus pavilion. Autumn water comes out. Swimming fish playing Ye Dong. Jadeite hidden leaf bottom. Clearance is resistant to dew. Refuse to wither with the wind. Up, middle, up. The elephant of the lotus. Two or three count the elephants of fish and birds. Fortunately, the bottom is down and the middle is down. Follow the straight and narrow. It can also turn evil into good. ”
Master Huijue took the note, glanced at it, and then asked, "I don't know what kind of thing you are asking for?" ”
The other party replied: "Career." ”
Then, Master Huijue explained: "These two signatures are by no means auspicious, and the so-called 'after Xunhua, demoted to Yutai' is actually worth mentioning. 'Xun' is to release Xun, that is, Yao; 'Hua' is Chonghua, that is, Shun; the ancient people were divided into ten classes, and 'Yutai' belonged to the category of servants (see "Zuo Chuan: The Seventh Year of Zhaogong") - the meaning is very obvious, you are now obedient to others, you can only live in a room, 'your heart is higher than the sky, your life is thinner than paper', you are powerless, do something that you are not interested in, 'the hungry ghost can't eat a hot meal', 'stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood', you are now 'leaning against the wall and the wall is collapsing, You can only achieve the final goal by relying on your own efforts, following the rules (keeping to yourself) is according to the original plan. Amitabha! ”
The other party nodded frequently, and then said "Thank you, Master", and then left Master Huijue's desk and returned to his original hoard.
Wang Jin was lying on the bed, his hands on his head, thinking about how to send the information out, at this time there was a knock on the door, Wang Jin got up and opened the door, only to see Wudao with a broom, rag in to clean, he smiled at Wang Jin first, Wang Jin also smiled back.
Wang Jin closed the door, pulled Wudao over, and whispered a few words to him very seriously.
Wudao nodded very seriously, signaling Wang Jin to rest assured.
Then, Wang Jin handed over a small note that had been prepared in advance to Wudao. Wudao took the small note and hid it in his sock.
As the sun sets, the crowd of people burning incense and worshipping Buddha and sightseeing gradually leaves, and Myeongkoji Temple begins to restore the calm of the day. At this time, only Wudao was still busy, he wanted to clean up the square in front of such a large Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the garbage and confetti thrown away by people, and then he carried a bucket of water to flush the toilet. In the men's toilet on the west side of the main hall, he flushed the toilet trough with water, swept it with a bamboo broom, washed it with water, then took out a small note from his sock, put it on the windowsill of the blind, pressed it with a small stone, and then, carrying a bucket and a broom, quickly left the toilet.
Today, Wudao felt unprecedented joy and satisfaction, and on the way back to his residence, he kept thinking: "Today, he has done something for Wang Jin, and he feels more and more that Wang Jin is an extraordinary person, is he the Communist Party he has heard of before?" He didn't know. ”
In the August weather, in the People's Park of Binhai City, although the trees are shady and the scenery is beautiful, but the people are sparse, not far from the grass, several children are chasing each other under the Hubei willow tree, and a man wearing a straw hat is quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait. On a chair next to a clump of caryophyllus, sat a pair of elderly people, the man wearing a sun hat, a pair of sunglasses, and short sleeves of black gauze, fanning a folding fan, but his face could not be seen from a distance. The woman, holding up a parasol, couldn't see everything about her clearly.
The man said to the woman: "You must first stand firm now, gain the trust of all parties, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, wait for the opportunity, and don't show any flaws." ”
The woman said, "I know, there should be no problem." ”
The man also said: "The plan should be implemented as soon as possible, the goal should be clear, and when we hear that people are coming from the other side, we should also think about finding out their plan, and whether there is any contradiction between it and the plan of the headquarters, and we mainly rely on intelligence." Oh, and we have people in their public security bureau too. ”
The woman said: "Recently, the wind has been very tight, and counter-revolution is being suppressed everywhere, and the action must not be too big, otherwise, once it is exposed, all the previous achievements will be wasted." Don't worry, I'll do my best. ”
