Chapter 91: Buddhism Pure Land, Think Twice About Everything
It took most of the day just to climb to the top of the temple.
After the incense and the Buddha were asked for in the Daoqing Temple, the master in the temple said that there was a master in the Zen Incense Temple who was preaching Buddhism, and the first frost and Sheng Ting went to listen to Zen.
The incense of the century-old temple is continuous, and the incense burned in the Zen incense courtyard and the smell of the green oil lamp merge to form a unique fragrance that is simple and reassuring.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon and listening to the master's lecture on the Buddha was two hours later.
The houses in the back row of the temple complex are the wings for the Buddha to rest, and they live in it to rest for a while, and then get up in the first frost.
"I'll go to a high place to see the scenery, and you can sleep if you're sleepy."
Knowing that she wanted to go shopping alone, Sheng Ting didn't follow.
The geographical location of Daoqing Temple is the highest, climb up the tall building and look down the mountain is a view of the mountains, and the top of the mountain in early spring is still very cool.
Chushuang stood on a high place for a while, and the temple bells were running out, and it was not early.
was about to go downstairs to have a meal with Sheng Ting, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
The woman sitting on the chair outside the scripture pavilion opposite was lowering her eyes and turning the pages, as if she was one with the solemn and solemn scripture pavilion.
Yesterday I was right, it was Sister Chaoyu.
How could she come to Guiyun from far away in the imperial capital?
I went downstairs to have a meal with Sheng Ting, and the sunset slowly faded into the horizon.
In the evening, the two of them put on thick clothes and went for a walk outside.
"I know there's a very steep vantage point here."
Along the mountain forest path, Chushuang lit a flashlight and said to Sheng Ting.
"The slope in other places is a little sloping, but the land goes straight up and down, and the heartbeat accelerates at a glance, but the scenery is really good."
"Slow down."
Although the path was paved with stone slabs, the mountain road was inevitably staggered, and Sheng Ting reminded her softly when she saw that she was just talking.
Still not worried about her, so he pulled her along.
Hearing that she was so familiar with this place, he asked, "How often do you come here?" ”
"Grandma likes to come, and I used to accompany her old man to the temple for fasting."
Her grandmother passed away two years ago, and Sheng Ting knew.
They were supposed to get married two years ago, but when the elders of her family died, the marriage was put on hold.
In fact, filial piety should be three years, but in recent years, people have not paid attention to it in ancient times, and this marriage was originally set by the elders before their deaths, and they can get married after two years.
Hatsufrost seems to have thought of this as well.
"Speaking of which, didn't you come to the Shen family two years ago?"
She didn't remember seeing him, and if she did, she wouldn't have the oolong who recognized the wrong person at the beginning.
Grandma only said that it was the child of the Sheng family, but who knew that it was the uncle.
The sun vanished, and vision began to blur, and occasionally the cries of birds and beasts could be heard in the forest.
"Coming, coming."
First frost paused.
The man's face was not very clear in the dark, but the words were calm and clear.
"You stayed in the mourning hall all day and didn't come out to meet guests."
Chu Shuang gathered his clothes, remembered himself at that time, and smiled lightly, "Also, how can I pay attention to anything else at that time." ”
When she arrived at the viewing place she said, the night wind hunted, and she looked down the mountain in the dim light, only to feel that the high place was unbearable. The wind whistled on the cliffs, and there was a rustle in the woods not far away.
Fortunately, a fence has been built here, which gives people a sense of security.
Chushuang took a deep breath of the cool night air and felt the whole heart and chest feel refreshed.
She stretched out her hand to look at the spark in the city in the distance, and sighed: "I like this feeling so much, I am free, and I look at the world over there as a bystander, as if it is very close to heaven." ”
These words caused the man to look sideways at her.
The first frost paused slightly, and curled his lips: "Heaven is the sky, literally." ”
"Isn't it fun to see the scenery at night from the top of the mountain?"
"Yes."
In fact, the mountain is very quiet, even if there is a night wind, birds and beasts, and the whispers of the two of them, but all the sounds will be swallowed into the darkness.
The night is silent.
Leaning on the railing, he stared quietly into the distance, and the sky was dotted with a few pitiful stars.
If it's summer, the night sky here will be so beautiful that you can lose your words.
It's a pity that it can only be in early spring.
Two years ago, the first frost of summer saw the most beautiful starry sky here, and I stayed at the temple that night.
The news said that meteors could be seen at night, and when they swam here at night, the stars were overhanging, and the weather was myriad.
The vast universe hung unabashedly overhead, so close that it seemed to be palpable as soon as you stretched out your hand.
Grandma walked very quietly, there was no pain, and everyone said that the elderly passed away peacefully when they reached a certain age, which was a blessing.
After eight years of losing a loved one, the first frost is much calmer than when it was young.
When she received the call, she was buying pumpkin pie in the back street of the school, which was her grandmother's favorite, and she used to make it for her when she was a child.
There are no classes in the afternoon, and I usually bask in the sun on the balcony in a daze on such days, or go to the library to read a book for a while, but that day I suddenly want to eat pumpkin pie.
As soon as I bought the pumpkin pie, I received a call from home.
Calm does not mean that there will be no pain, once again you see the familiar faces of your relatives close in front of you, you can clearly see and touch, but you know that you are no longer in the same world, and you can no longer see and talk to each other.
I can't give her the things she loves in my life.
Once again, the first frost realized that there was nothing heavier than death.
She knelt in the mourning hall for three days, and on the fourth day the old man was buried in the ground, and the next day she climbed Yunli Mountain.
I always feel that this place is close to the sky, and it is close to my grandmother.
It was here that night, too, that she stood for a long, long time.
In fact, there was no special action, just standing quietly and distracted, maybe the atmosphere around her was still different, I don't know when the people who came here to see the scenery saw her and reminded her.
"It's dangerous ahead, don't get too close."
It's a young man.
It's rare that people still come here at this point.
Hearing this, Chu Shuang lowered his eyes and took a step back.
I guess he's here to see the meteors.
But most astronomy enthusiasts go to another mountain, which is also high and the vegetation is not as dense as here, but the road is much easier to walk and takes less than half the time to climb this mountain.
It's not the best option here.
The man seemed to be just reminding him casually, and his voice was not very enthusiastic.
First Frost looked at the night sky and pondered, and he was also silently waiting for the meteor on the other side.
No one spoke, and the night outside the midsummer wilderness was too silent, but strangely harmonious.
When the night sky streaked a faint silver light, the first frost looked up in a daze.
I didn't expect the meteor to be real.
When I was a child, I read that if you leave one person in the world, one star will fall.
Even when she was a child, she never believed this statement.
At that time, watching the meteor pass by, the tip of my heart suddenly became sore, and my eyes were filled with mist.
There was a click in the darkness, and a scarlet glow in the afterglow.
Looking sideways, the man was holding the lighter and wanted to light a cigarette, the firelight reflected the outline of his facial features, and the glow was as deep as a knife.
The flame would light up to the end of the cigarette, and he seemed to remember something, and the fire in his fingertips was extinguished.
All is dark.
"Aren't you leaving?"
The words were spoken to her.
First Frost didn't answer for a while.
The night wind brought his deep voice to her ears.
"Buddhism is pure, think twice about everything."
It was not possible to fully see his face in the starry sky, and it took a while for the first frost to guess the meaning of his words.
He thought she was here to find a short-sighted sight?
If she falls from here, will it disturb the purity of this Buddha?
