Chapter 42 The Millennial Temple
"Actually, I really like the performing arts! I really want to try it, but my family says it's a mess. I've never been allowed to enter that circle. It seems that this time I went to Linjiang to make a car model, and I also ran out secretly, don't tell my cousin!"
"Okay, don't worry!"
Yun Anping smiled and agreed.
Dai Xinyi is a very smart and thoughtful girl. There are many things she wants to try, but her family keeps preventing them.
"Discover the world and tap into your potential. While you're still young, explore something unknown. Do something you haven't done before. Then experience these things to the best of your ability. So that you can find your true self. ”
Yun Anping said with a smile.
After Dai Xinyi heard his words, a pair of charming big eyes sparkled.
"Well, that's right! No wonder my cousin was chased by so many people, and they chose you. ”
Half an hour later. The train arrived at Linjiang City. Yun Anping sent the two girls out of the station. Outside the station, there are already cars from the sponsors of the auto show waiting for them.
After sending Dai Xinyi away, Yun Anping immediately took a taxi and went straight to his destination.
Linjiang City is a historical city. The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, there are countless places of interest and historic sites. And Yun Anping's destination: "Tsz Yun Temple" is located on the famous Country Mountain.
The ancient name of Country Mountain: Wuling Mountain. It is a famous Buddhist holy place. There are dozens of large and small temples on the mountain. In ancient times, it was already known as the country of Buddhism.
Tsz Yun Temple is deep in the mountains. For many years, tourists have been scarce, and the incense is not at its peak. But its history is very long. It is a thousand-year-old temple. The founding patriarch is: Master Zhitong. According to the information searched by Yun Anping in the past few days, Master Zhitong is the descendant of the Tianzhu monk who had a relationship with him back then.
Yun Anping arrived at the foot of Country Mountain. I only saw an endless stream of tourists on the mountain. It is all the good faith of worshipping the Buddha and burning incense. Yun Anping walked up the mountain road. Both sides of the mountain road are full of stalls selling incense and candles, and the aunt holding the incense candle in her hand is constantly pulling tourists and good believers to sell them enthusiastically. He could only follow the customs of the locals and buy some incense and candles casually. I kept walking up the hill.
Two hours later, Yun Anping passed by several famous temples. Tourists are also becoming scarcer on the mountain roads. He can also gradually pick up his pace. The mountain road beneath your feet is getting narrower and rougher. But Yun Anping's speed is getting faster and faster.
It took more than half an hour to go on. Yun Ping'an has entered the deep mountains. I saw a large bamboo forest in front of me, with miles of green shade. Walking along the stone path in the bamboo forest, you can only hear the sound of the breeze rustling the bamboo leaves, and the sound of the spring flowing in the distance.
Walking through the dense bamboo forest, you will see a quaint temple in front of you.
The couplet on both sides in front of the mountain gate reads: around the seat ** Bao Mingyue. Welcome the rain and scatter the flowers. Directly above is a mottled red wooden plaque. Above: Fa Yu Ciyun.
It is the Ciyun Ancient Temple that Yun Anping is looking for on this trip.
When Yun Anping arrived at Ciyun Temple, it was already afternoon. I saw the temple in the green trees, the apricot yellow courtyard walls, the blue-gray temple ridge, and the pale green towering ancient trees, all bathed in the golden afternoon sun. Although the temple is not large, the outer walls and pillars of the Buddha hall are also mottled. Engraved with traces of time. But it is more simple and elegant. Extraordinarily solemn.
The front and back of the ancient temple are planted with laurel trees. Each tree is more than 100 years old. Lush, towering.
The thousand-year-old temple is shaded by green trees and fragrant osmanthus flowers. It is a rare sight in the world. However, due to the fact that the temple is located deep in the mountains. After Yun Anping entered the temple, he couldn't see any tourists and pilgrims at all. Only three or four monks in gray monk's robes walked around the temple. I saw Yun Anping coming in. He just nodded slightly, and passed by.
After Yun Anping entered the temple. Light the incense candle in your hand first. It is placed in a large incense burner in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Then enter the Daxiong Hall and worship the Buddha statues enshrined in the main hall one by one.
There are Buddha halls on both sides of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but Yun Anping did not go in to worship. Instead, you go directly around the Buddha hall on the right, and there is a large green bamboo forest planted in front of you. Yun Anping followed a winding stone path. Pass by a row of monks' houses. Keep walking towards the stele forest in the backyard of Tsz Yun Temple.
Walking through the quiet and deep path, a forest of steles stands in front of you. The area of the stele forest is not small, and hundreds of stone steles of large and small are erected. The content of the stele is mainly about the many ups and downs experienced by the ancient temple of Ciyun for thousands of years and the stories of the great monks of the past dynasties. There are also many poems left by famous artists after visiting ancient temples. There are also stone tablets carved with various Buddhist classics such as the Heart Sutra, the Huayan Sutra, and the Lotus Sutra.
Yun Anping walked into the stele forest, walked past the steles one by one, and after fifteen minutes, he stopped in front of a stele. It was the ancient diamond scripture he was looking for.
The scriptures on the stele are written in ancient Sanskrit. And the ancient Sanskrit above. Even in the past few months, Yun Anping has been doing data collection and research, but he doesn't know a few. But the moment Yun Anping saw this stone tablet. I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.
A few days ago, at the auction, Yunnan Ping saw for the first time a stream of scriptures and poems written in anti-text, and the Buddhist relics in his body had already been induced. It seems to touch some fragments of memories of past and present lives, or extremely distant memories. Suddenly jumped into the mind.
And at this moment, when Yunnan Ping saw the diamond sutra on the stone tablet, the Buddhist relics in his body reacted more strongly. Ancient Sanskrit one by one. It was immediately imprinted in Yun Anping's mind. And the Buddhist relics in the body instantly resonate with it. And what is even more amazing is that Yun Anping understood the content and profound meaning of the entire scripture almost immediately.
Knowing illusion is separation, not pretending to be convenient, and detachment from illusion is enlightenment, and there is no gradualization.
They should have no place to live and their hearts should be born.
When you see nothing in front of you, you can be at ease.
The entire "Diamond Sutra" seems to have been read thousands of times in the depths of the soul. Buddhism scriptures, enlightenment in the heart. At this moment, Yun Anping's mind was empty, and he smiled.
Buddhist practice is fundamentally different from Taoism. Taoism pays attention to the use of heaven and earth aura to refine and cultivate the mortal body. Buddhism, on the other hand, focuses on the method of visualization. Yun Anping, the scripture of the Diamond Sutra, has already realized at this time. And the mysterious ancient Sanskrit words on the stone tablet are deeply imprinted in my mind. So he immediately entered into the practice of visualization and enlightenment.
Before I knew it, I had forgotten how long it had been in front of the stone monument. Yun Anping was outside the object at the moment, and he was contemplating it over and over again in his mind. It feels like the whole soul is in a higher realm, a higher dimension. It's an amazing feeling.
In fact, this kind of cultivation realm is also similar to the Taoist "static pole thinking and moving".
Yun Anping, who was visualizing in front of the stone stele, had long forgotten the passage of time. I don't know when, under the bamboo forest, there was an old monk in gray clothes, standing silently not far behind him.......
