In 2007, the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden was rated as a national "AAAA" scenic spot by the National Tourism Administration, and in 2008, it was rated as a "National Key Park" by the Ministry of Construction.
The Fairy Lake Botanical Garden is especially suitable for spring visits, because in the spring in the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, breathe fresh air, feel the life of nature, and in spring, the Hongfa Temple in the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden will have an unusual situation.
In primary and secondary schools in Shenzhen, students are often organized by the school to visit the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden during the annual spring outing.
In the spring of my third year of high school, I went to the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden with Lili and Lingling (Blue Frost)...... At that time, Lili and Lingling (Blue Frost) were in their second year of high school...... At that time, the gap between me and Lingling (Blue Frost) had been revealed and was developing subtly......
That day, Lili and Lingling were dressed and dressed very dignified, the sisters did not wear makeup, and Lili tied up her long hair.
On that day, we were on a bus to the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden...... The three of us sat in the back row of the bus, and Lili sat between me and Lingling...... On the bus, Lingling and I were both a little awkward to each other and didn't talk much, mainly Lili was creating a relaxed atmosphere for us......
When we arrived at the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, Lili led Lingling and me on a tour to see beautiful things, flowers and trees, and feel the beautiful breath of spring...... It seems that Lili is very familiar with the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden......
As we revel in the beauty of spring and the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, Koboji Temple gradually becomes clear before our eyes......
The dignified architecture and extraordinary aura of Kohoji Temple amazed us.
In front of the treasure temple, Lili took out a string of green Buddhist beads and worshiped sincerely...... At that moment, Lingling and I stood behind her and worshipped, but I was a little surprised by Lili's behavior, while Lingling was calm......
After that, Lili led us into Hongfa Temple, and at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, we worshiped the gods and Buddhas...... Lili then walked towards a young monk......
"Amitabha! The female benefactor is courteous! The monk saluted Lili.
Lili handed her green beads to the young monk and said, "Senior brother, you should be in the temple today." ”
He carefully inspected the string of green Buddha beads, and then saluted Lili and said, "Senior sister, the master is in the temple today...... These two donors ......! ”
"This woman is my cousin, and this man is my classmate from another school." Lili said.
"Please!" The young monk led us to the back hall......
In the back hall, a middle-aged fat monk was half-sitting and half-lying on a couch, closing his eyes and recuperating...... He was forty or fifty years old, and his complexion was ruddy, plump, and auspicious.
The young monk approached the fat monk, bowed down and whispered, "Master, a senior sister has come to visit you. ”
The fat monk slowly opened his eyes...... He has a good temperament, his eyes are very bright, and he is very gentle and auspicious.
"Okay, you go." The fat monk said to the young monk.
After the young monk went, Lili came forward to kneel and salute, saying, "Disciple Biying to meet Master!" ”
