Chapter 62: The Origin of the Giant Buddha of a Thousand Mountains

It was already past noon after eating, and Daoist Fang Yuan wanted to go to meditate and rest, and asked Tai Ping to clean up the place for us to live, and let Tai Chang accompany me and Lao Yu around. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's good that having a guide to lead the way doesn't always run around like headless flies. But how do you know that Taichang's stupid big man doesn't care about me and Lao Zhi, walking in front alone and cherishing words like gold, and never adding a punctuation mark to answer one word, it is also convinced.

Along the mountain road and keep going up, along the way the rosin struck people, the ancient trees were shady, the surrounding weeds were waist-high, and the strange rocks were craggy. There are some insects and birds chirping around who don't know where to hide, and a few naughty squirrels will be strung out from time to time in front of them, stopping there, raising their two front paws, twisting their little noses up and down, staring at us with big curious eyes, small things are weird and funny. The heart said that you can smell who I am when you smell a little thing, I really want to go over and touch that little head, and I'm cute to death...

"Oops, the first time I saw this thing, it's a lot more than a mouse, grab one and play with it!"

Lao Yu bent over his knees, cautiously leaned over to the little squirrel, looking at the back looked like Gargamel in the Smurfs, just when I was waiting to see a good show, Tai Chang suddenly shouted, the squirrel swooped to the tree, Lao Yu was also so frightened that he almost slipped, so as not to stabilize his body, turned around and scolded: "You are sick!

Tai Chang's face did not change, he snorted, and said righteously: "Master said, all living beings have spirits, people have humane animals, and there is no end to evil!" After speaking, he turned around and left, and he scolded Tai Chang angrily for being sick, and his little eyes were still wandering around, so he should not have given up on that little squirrel.

The dirt road up the mountain is indeed a bit dangerous, the slope is steep, and there will be a lot of small stones on the road, if you are not careful, you will stumble, and even slide backwards, under the cover of weeds, you don't know the depth.

Fortunately, it didn't take a while, and I turned onto a stone path, with handrails on both sides, although it was very tiring along the way, but it was full of freshness, and even the old man who was usually chirping crookedly did not complain.

Lao Yu asked Tai Chang: "Hey, I said Tai Chang, where can I go along this road?"

"Big Buddha Temple!"

"Big Buddha Temple, what do you mean, is the Buddha very big?"

"Hmm!"

"How big?"

Tai Chang stopped, pointed to a mountain in front of him, and said solemnly, "The mountain is so big!"

Lao Yu also stopped, wiped the beads of sweat on his head, squinted his small eyes and looked at the place of Tai Chang's finger and said, "Really?"

I also have some doubts, how can I say that the mountain in front of me is also two or three hundred meters, what a big project, besides, how can such a big Buddha not be seen here? I asked Tai Chang with a questioning tone: "How can there be such a big Buddha statue, the little Taoist is joking with us, right?"

Walking up to a platform, Lao Yu and I sat down with a butt, rested for a while, Tai Chang also sat down, looked at the mountain blankly and said: " It was when I was very young, the master said that there was no rest of the development in the mountains except for some temples, until 30 years ago, the domestic tourism industry was becoming more and more developed, and Qianshan was also included in the development of scenic spots. Each hill is linked with a stone road guardrail, which facilitates the communication between the monasteries, also facilitates the transportation of food, and designates the thousand mountains as a religious tourist attraction!"

"Oh... It is no wonder that Qianshan will remain in a pristine state, and with many century-old temples, it is even more mysterious and far-reaching. It is a little more quiet and primitive than those scenic spots that are mainly entertaining. ”

After listening to me, the old man nodded yes, but then asked me, "Is this related to the Big Buddha Temple?"

I was also stunned when I was asked, yes! Doesn't this mean the origin of the Buddha, how did it get to the history of a thousand mountains? Tai Chang didn't even look at us, and seemed to ignore our existence. After looking at it for a while, he told the origin of the Buddha.

After drawing up the development plan for Qianshan, in addition to repairing the ancient temple, the higher authorities also wanted to build several more Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to enrich and strengthen the influence of the Taoist religious culture.

One day, an old monk of Buddhism suddenly found that there was a mountain covered with auspicious clouds, so he decided to go to check, when the old monk went around to the front of the mountain, he was suddenly shocked to kneel down with his palms together, and read Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, and several staff members who came did not know the reason, and asked for a long time, and the old monk said the reason.

It turned out that the mountain in front of him was a laughing Maitreya Buddha and Bodhisattva, sitting there with a wide robe and big sleeves, one hand on the arched knee, a cloth bag on the left shoulder, and a series of imprints hung on the chest like Buddha beads, the degree of realism is indescribable.

When the people present listened to the old monk's words, they looked at it again, and they were also stunned by the Maitreya Buddha in front of them...

So, the news of Ma Shan spread to the three elders of Buddhism, along with one of the legal elders of the five directions of Buddhism, and decided to build a Buddha viewing platform on the top of the mountain opposite the Buddha facing the southwest.

According to Master, on the day of the consecration, nearly half of the Buddha's Five Directions revealed the Four Great Garans, as well as the Eight Directions of the Daomen, and the three Buddhist elders Fakong personally chanted the Sutra to consecrate.

The weather is not too good on the day of the opening of the light, cloudy and windy, until noon, nearly 100 Buddhist monks chant the scriptures together, the weather is clear and the sky is clear, the sound of Buddha rises all over the sky, such as rumbling thunder, resounding in the sky. When the moment of the opening of the Buddha, an auspicious cloud appeared in the sky above the Buddha, a Buddha cloud statue of the sunset, followed by the appearance of a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, a statue of the king of the earth, standing left and right, although it is a cloud statue, but the face of the three saints is clearly visible, even the willow branches in the Bodhisattva's willow jade net bottle swing with the wind can be seen clearly.

Everyone was shocked, and they prostrated down to worship the Buddha...

Until the end of the consecration ceremony, nectar fell from the sky, making the Buddha look new, and a pillar of Buddha light rose to the sky, which lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Since then, the Big Buddha Temple has been changed into the Maitreya Buddha's dojo, and the legal elders, one of the five Buddhist sects who specialize in guarding the Maitreya Buddha dojo, have also settled in Qianshan, and since then the incense has been continuous, and the believers have almost responded to their requests.

Under the mountain also enshrine the three Buddhas one after another, respectively, the fruit position of the three meetings of Maitreya Buddha Longhua, the bells and drums sound together throughout the day, and the incense is wrapped.

The world says that the Buddha and the Bodhisattva are merciful and cross people, but who has really seen the Buddha, is there really any origin of the Buddha of a thousand mountains? The old man couldn't wait to pull me up, and climbed down the steps to the top of the mountain like a gust of wind.

"Oops... Where are you going to take me?"

"Go see the Big Buddha, hurry up!"

In this way, a group of three people climbed towards the Buddha viewing platform...

The further you go, the steeper the slope of the stairs becomes, and in one stage you can even reach a 70-degree angle, and the stairs are narrow, so you have to be very careful all the way, and you don't even have time to wipe the drops of sweat one drop after another.

After climbing for less than half an hour, the road was finally blocked by a large rock, and the slope was slightly gentle, so I could take a break for a while. Lao Zhi usually doesn't like sports, if it weren't for the big Buddha in front of him to see, it feels fresh, otherwise he would never have been able to persist until now, and he would have already gone home.

Sitting on the edge of the big rock, he took out the Changbai Mountain, which had been soaked with sweat and the skin of the cigarette had turned yellow, and took a deep breath after lighting it, the smell of smoke filled the lungs that had just been exercising vigorously, and there was a hot pain in an instant, and I couldn't help coughing a few times.

I didn't bring any water with me when I came out of Yuantongguan, and I sweated like running water when I climbed the mountain, and my shirt was soaked, and now I feel so thirsty. Still old to smart, before setting off changed into a pair of sneakers, a pair of beach pants, a small vest. Unlike me, the heat is about to evaporate, and if you look at the boots on your feet, it is estimated that even a tadpole in it will not die of drought.

Looking up at Tai Chang, who had not changed, he asked, "Tai Chang Dao Chief, how far is it to see the Big Buddha?"

Tai Chang turned to look ahead and said, "It's almost there!"

What a papaya that cherishes words like gold!

Just as we got up to leave, there were several cries for help not far away, and the three of them all reflexively climbed up quickly, the sound got closer and closer, and in less than twenty minutes, they came to the bottom of a giant pebble, and sure enough, something really happened...
