Chapter 174: The Buddha is also very helpless, but people have demons
The time of the New Year passed the fastest, and it was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Yan said: "Why don't we go to the temple today?"
Lin Qianqian said: "Master, I thought you wouldn't go, Miao, Wu Yi said to leave?"
The temple is not far from the city, and there are not many vehicles on the road at this time, so there is no traffic jam at all, but when I arrived at the temple, I found that there are still a lot of people here, and it is difficult to find a place to park.
From just turning into the highway can smell the smell of incense candles, incense candles approached the temple gate, but found that the fragrance of incense candles is not particularly strong, maybe it is used to smelling.
The gate of the temple was built luxuriously, and there was a very incongruous steel pipe welded partition in front of the door, and then many people lined up along the partition and handed over the tickets they bought to a few monks at the door.
The whole temple is built on the mountain, layer upon layer, completely covering half of the mountain, and everywhere exudes a simple atmosphere, which is very solemn and magnificent.
It's just that Li Yan feels that there is still a bit of a mismatch in the parking lot, and the original parking lot is far from enough, so as long as there is flat land around, it is regarded as a parking lot, and most of it is a bamboo pole, and then he starts to collect money.
Moreover, the parking fee is super expensive, starting at 20 yuan, and after two hours, it is 10 yuan per hour. Really, it's definitely a sincere man and a good woman who come here.
The price of this parking fee is still cheap, because Li Yan came too late, and the nearby parking lot has long been out of place. After Li Yan stopped the train, he walked to the ticket office for at least ten minutes.
There are incense and candles sold everywhere at the gate, and some of the bosses who buy incense and candles say that they can't call it a sale, but they want to call it, please Buddha Yuan, please incense candles.
Li Yan and the three of them didn't buy anything, they really just bought tickets, but after buying the tickets, they also gave nine small incense sticks to each ticket.
Wu Yi asked Li Yandao, "Brother, why are there only nine incense sticks?
Li Yan said with a smile: "Little girl, this incense is particular. If you burn incense, you will pray for yourself with three burns, two generations with six burns, and three generations with nine burns. And thirteen is an extreme, and thirteen incense sticks are high incense with complete merits. ”
Lin Qianqian asked, "Then why don't you give us thirteen incense sticks? Isn't it so cost-effective?"
Li Yan explained: "Do you think that anyone can burn thirteen pillars of incense? Only those who have made significant contributions to Buddhism are qualified to burn thirteen pillars of incense. And after burning incense, you can kowtow, the posture should be to hold incense in your left hand and candle in your right hand, because ordinary people use their right hands to kill chickens and cut fish, if they are left-handed, it is the other way around. ”
"There's so much more?"
"There are a lot of Buddhist rituals, but ordinary people only need to know the most basic points, such as: when burning incense, light the incense first, the more prosperous the better, people often say that the incense is strong. Hold the incense with your left hand on top and your right hand on the bottom, and hold it high above your head. After doing so, put the incense in the ashes, and then you can enter the door and prostrate. If you prostrate, you should look for the Buddha, Bodhisattva, or Arhat. You can't just kowtow to Jizo Bodhisattva. ”
Wu Yi smiled: "I know that it is necessary to be evenly wet with rain and dew, and everyone must kowtow." ”
Li Yan made a whispered movement with gestures: "The most important thing to remember is that you must not make loud noises here, run around, and run around, interfering with the purity of Buddhism." In a word, the heart should be sincere, the person should be quiet, and the step should be steady and light. ”
Wu Yi whispered to Li Yan: "Brother, what I am saying now is different from what I said a few days ago?"
Lin Qianqian pulled Wu Yi's clothes and said, "Miao, don't joke with Master here, you worship the Bodhisattva more for Master and pray for blessings." ”
Wu Yi nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, Sister Qianqian, I love you the most, you are the best for me." ”
Li Yan saw that Wu Yi suddenly became very religious, each of them bowed very seriously, and strictly followed the original monk's way of prostrating, and did not speak much, and his expression was very serious.
Li Yan asked Lin Qianqian in a low voice, "Qianqian, what did you say to her just now, and suddenly she was so religious?"
"Oh, the Buddha knows, Master, you go and ask the Buddha, and you will know. Lin Qianqian clasped her hands together.
Seeing that the two of them looked very pious, the nine-pillar incense in their hands had already been used up, and Wu Yi wanted to buy it, but was stopped by Li Yan.
Li Yan said with a smile: "No need, how much is appropriate? There are so many Buddha statues here, have you counted them? And some of them are not allowed to bring candles in, what do you see on that sign?"
Wu Yi looked at it, covered his mouth and said, "It's true, you are not allowed to burn incense here, but isn't there incense inside?"
"They lit it themselves, and most of them are cultural relics, be careful of the candles, for safety. And now they are all required to protect the environment, and a little incense can be regarded as a contribution to the cause of environmental protection, and the Buddha knows it in his heart. ”
Wu Yi and Lin Qianqian have been bowing very seriously, while Li Yan has been looking at each Buddha statue and the written Buddhist scriptures in the Buddha hall very seriously along the way.
Wu Yi is very devout to pray and bow, and Lin Qianqian is to pick some to prostrate.
Li Yan has liked to smell these smoky fragrances since he was a child, and in the past, Li Yan's aunt downstairs would burn incense every day, and Li Yan got used to it after a long time.
Later, I got used to the smell of mosquito coils, and I liked to hang mosquito coils under the stool the most, and the smoke from the mosquito coils surrounded Li Yan.
Li Yan likes to read books very much, all kinds of books, including Buddhist scriptures, of course, so almost all the Buddha statues and other allusions in the temple, Li Yan knows, but Li Yan has never liked the too fierce and vicious statues of those King Kong sculptures inside, coupled with the dim environment in the Buddhist shop, Li Yan felt in a bad mood.
Only outside the Buddha hall did Li Yan feel a little comfortable, especially the layout of each courtyard in the entire temple, which was very exquisite. The height is staggered, the light and shade are matched, and even the trees are a little scattered.
In the smoke, there is a feeling beyond the world, if it is not for the crowd in front of you, this is really a good place to cultivate your mind.
Li Yan remembered that when he was in college, once his classmates went to play and passed by a temple, and everyone was tired, so they ran into the temple to rest. At that time, many temples did not charge entrance fees, and the monks inside would make small talk with tourists.
The temple is not very big, but it is very quaint, the temple is very clean, the center of the temple compound is made of a large stone, looking up is the blue sky, floating one or two leisurely white clouds.
Looking at the temple, it must have been some years, but there is a sense of immortality, and it is full of vitality. The temple was silent, the air was mixed with sandalwood, and a few birds were walking under the trees.
An old monk wearing a white robe saw a few college students come in and greeted him, and there were only two old monks basking in the sun in this small temple.
"Amitabha. The old monk who greeted them first chanted the Buddha name to Li Yan and them.
During the casual conversation, Li Yan chatted with the two old monks very speculatively.
The two old monks insisted on staying with Li Yan for a few more days, so frightened that Li Yan ran away from the gap.
This memory is Li Yan's best memory of the temple, if it weren't for the fear of being really left by the monk in the end, Li Yan would be willing to stay longer. Later, he laughed that he was still young, and the two old monks were just making fun of Li Yan.
Wu Yi had just finished worshipping and walked out of the first courtyard, but he heard a sudden noise at the gate, it turned out that the mobile phones of two pilgrims had dropped, and the most important thing was that one of the pilgrims had come from other places to enter the incense, and the other was a local boss.
Losing your phone is not a big deal, the key is that it is not the right time to lose it. The local boss, as the host, brought pious customers to make incense and make wishes, but not long after they came in at the temple gate, the mobile phones of the two disappeared at the same time, and listening to their noise, they knew that they were all fruit mobile phones.
The loudest shouting was the local boss and one of his entourage, the one from out of town was slightly embarrassed, in an extremely bad mood, shaking his head and sighing: "Ominous, ominous." Unlucky, unlucky. ”
Wu Yi smiled and said: "How can it be unlucky, the mobile phone may have been taken away by the Buddha, and you can talk directly to the Buddha if you have anything in the future, isn't it very good?
Lin Qianqian smiled: "Miao, I think you are still very good at thinking?"
"I learned it with my brother, hahaha. ”
Li Yan smiled: "When did I teach you to gloat when you see other people's things fall?"
"Didn't you say that you have to find good things in bad things and learn to enlighten yourself? What's the matter, Sister Sissi, you can't be an apprentice, so you should follow me and learn from me, and I will teach you hand in hand." ”
"Master, you see, there is still a fight. Lin Qianqian said on tiptoe.
Li Yan also saw that a short man wearing a gray cloth robe and some short black hair on his bald head jumped up and kicked it. As for the consequences of kicking, Li Yan didn't see it. Because of the noise, there are too many people in front of it, and there are gaps there.
Alas, it seems that men and women still like to watch the excitement, and Ben also likes to watch the lively Wu Yi, but he hurriedly pulled Li Yan to the side door. Wu Yi is afraid of Li Yan, who knows? Will this guy find trouble for himself again when the time comes?
The side door was not big, and after a few steps, he turned into the side hall, and Wu Yi took Li Yan's hand tightly and turned back to the main entrance. Then I walked a few more steps along the corridor, went around such a big circle, and finally went around to the outside of the most lively circle of people.
That lively circle has expanded a lot, and it seems that there is a full-fledged martial arts exercise inside. The crowd around is also good-looking, with the people inside, the shape and position of the change back and forth, for fear of not seeing the details of the fight inside, at this time these people have forgotten that they came here to worship the Buddha, not to see the excitement.
Li Yan guessed that the two who lost their mobile phones were estimated to be more than lucky, and they only had to be beaten. You said that in other people's territory, it is strange that you are not beaten.
Li Yan pulled with Li Yan and said in his mouth: "In a fight in the holy land of Buddhism, no matter who is right or wrong, the Buddha will not be happy." I don't know if the man wearing the robe just now is a monk here, where Shakyamuni cut meat and fed the eagle's great compassion? ”
"Brother, what are you muttering?"
Wu Yi was afraid that Li Yan would turn back, so he pulled Li Yan to walk quickly to the gate, Li Yan smiled and said, "Girl, don't you like to join in the fun the most? ”
Lin Qianqian smiled in the back: "Yes, Miao, why are you walking so fast?"
Wu Yi pulled Li Yan and said: "For the Chinese New Year, I think more things are better than less things, and the farther away from right and wrong, the better." Who knows if someone is going to be good again?"
Li Yan smiled: "What did you say about me? I'm not a person who provokes right and wrong. ”
"But you have the physique to provoke right and wrong. ”
Walking out of the gate and seeing a few monks guarding the door, Wu Yi let out a long breath and said, "It's safe now, you can't enter without a ticket." Alas, it's a pity that a good show didn't come to be, it's all you. ”
