Chapter 285 Master Guoshan
Chapter 280 Six Master Guoshan

The fifteenth day of the Chinese New Year is coming in a blink of an eye. Early in the morning, Uncle Bamboo Carpenter took Liangzi back and forth, and the whole family happened to be out for an outing, so they came together.

Li Junge and his father got a pair of slippery poles, grandma rode on the stick that Uncle Bamboo Carpenter gave her, supported by A Yin, and mother carried joss sticks on her back, and walked to Uncle Wu's house together.

Uncle Fifth has already prepared the tin boat by the stream, and even specially set up a springboard for grandma to board the boat.

After everyone boarded the boat, the tin boat began to sail towards Baimi Township.

When the boat arrived in Baimi Township, Dad and Li Junge lifted grandma up on the sliding pole, and then everyone started to walk towards Fawang Temple.

In fact, there are eight people in the group, only grandma and Liangzi are serious believers in Buddhism, parents choose their own beliefs, Li Junge is "respectful and far away", A Yin is half-believers, Uncle Bamboo Carpenter is trustworthy or not Uncle Wu does not believe in Buddhism, but Master Xinguoshan. The group of eight people are divided into several categories, but neither rejects nor contradicts, and happily walks towards Fawang Temple.

This is the charm of the Buddhist "door of convenience".

The mountain road is winding, going up along the stone road, and there is a clear stream beside the road, which is on the left side of the road for a while, and on the right side of the road for a while.

The gurgling spring water, the sound of birds in the bamboo forest, and the occasional sound of the wind constitute a small mountain tune, matching the scenery along the way, making grandma who rarely goes out very happy.

The road is neither short nor long. From Baimi Township to the mountain, there are eight miles of uphill.

Turning around Balipo, there is a nanmu forest, each nanmu is straight to the sky, the big one is hugged by two people, and the small one is as thick as a bucket, and there are about a hundred or so.

This is a good wood that is a specialty of Shuzhou. The famous Jinsinan, scientifically known as Zhennan xiaoye, is a rare resource and grows very slowly. The wood is hard and resistant to decay. "Museum Essentials" records that "the golden thread comes out of the river, the wood grain has golden thread, and the nanmu is the most beautiful."

After the golden nan was washed into the mountain stream and buried in the mud for thousands of years, part of the material in the trunk was replaced by the minerals carried by the stream, and it became a golden nan gloomy wood, and the price was unusual.

Golden nan's gloomy wood, buried underground for thousands of years, is the top longevity material in the world.

However, in general, the countryside will not put the gloomy wood carving God of Wealth in the store, and make bracelets to wear on the hands, which is something that people in the city can do.

Seeing these nanmu trees, Li Junge remembered that there was still one soaking in the spiritual spring of his own space. It was the first thing his golden finger found, and he didn't know what happened now.

At the end of the nanmu forest is a stone flat paved with Danxia stones. The stones are arranged in the pattern of bamboo mats, and there is an iron incense burner on each side.

In front are the stone steps to enter the temple. In front of the stone steps is a simple mountain gate, which is relatively old and made of Danxia stone. The three Wei stele Chinese characters "Fawang Temple" are inlaid with celadon fragments on it.

Li Junge said to A Yin: "This is the first feature of Fawang Temple. All the buildings, except for the tile and wood parts, the wall foundation pillars, the stone steps of the mountain gate, and the statues on both sides of the road, are all made of Danxia stone, so they are all Red."

Ayin nodded, admiring the ancient stone steps and the mountain gate.

Li Junge continued to introduce Ayin and Liangzi: "The rocks here are red, the soil is red, and even the name of the Hongshui River at the foot of the mountain is related to this Danxia landform."

There is a pair of stone lions at the bottom of the gate, the tops of which have been infested with green moss. Different from the solemnity of other temples, the lions seem to be grinning.

A Yin said with a smile: "This pair of lions seems to be welcoming us. You can see that they are smiling, just like Bai Da's!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "This is the second major feature of Fawang Temple. This is a temple that likes to laugh!"

Helping grandma through the gate, there are many red stone steps in front of it, and the four King Kongs are separated on both sides.

The four King Kongs in general temples have angry eyes and horizontal eyebrows. The so-called "angry-eyed King Kongs" here are four cute creatures, smiling, with big heads and small bodies.

A Yin thought it was very novel, and ran to King Kong to take a photo with them one by one: "Haha Erpi, this is so fun, I have never seen it in any temple before!"

Ryoko liked it too, so he ran over, and the two girls competed at King Kong's feet.

After taking photos of them, Li Junge said with a smile: "King Kong is the enemy of all monsters, but they are kind and compassionate in their hearts. Therefore, they are smiling and kind to those they want to protect. Many temples only focus on shaping their angry figures." On the one hand, but often ignores its compassionate side, the Vajra of Fawang Temple does the opposite, I guess it has something to do with the good morals of the surrounding goblins."

Grandma hurriedly said: "Amitabha, Piwa, don't talk nonsense in front of the Buddha!"

Li Junge laughed and said, "Dharma is nothing more than human feelings. The Buddha treats all sentient beings equally. With the human nature of the Great Immortal Toad at the foot of the mountain, how can you not be a King Kong laughing? I am not talking nonsense."

He heard a Buddha's cry behind him: "Amitabha, the little benefactor can see clearly."

Everyone turned their heads, but behind them was a gray-clothed monk, about 50 or [-] years old, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, holding a hoe in one hand, and carrying a basket on his back with radishes and vegetables in it, and a sickle thrown under his feet. Wearing a pair of boots, the top is full of red mud.

Uncle Wu hurriedly said: "Master Guoshan."

The rest of the people hurriedly agreed, but Li Junge himself just nodded.

Guoshan said with a smile: "All living beings are equal and compassionate. This is the essence of my Buddhism. Master Li Gou is indeed a wonderful person."

After speaking, he saluted Li Junge.

This made Li Junge miserable, so he quickly returned a salute in a hurry, scratched his forehead and smiled: "Oh, I was ashamed just now, I only thought about the distinction between Confucianism and Buddhism, but forgot the seniority, it's time to fight, It's time to fight!"

Ayin covered her mouth and laughed: "Master Guoshan, you are the first person who can talk to Erpi with a single sentence! Haha, how do you know his name?"

Guoshan said with a smile: "How could I not care about the neighbors making such a big noise? I have visited your website a lot! The flickering icons of creatures on the homepage are marked with colors to remind everyone to protect them. Very good, it matches the scriptures of my Buddhist school!"

Li Junge was a little confused, he had never thought about this before, so he asked honestly, "Master, please clarify."

Guoshan said with a smile: "You Lijiagou Shenqing Gong branch has followed the Confucian way for generations, and pays attention to the word 'education' for people's hearts. Our Fawang Temple is a branch of Buddhism, and it pays attention to the word 'inducement' to people's hearts." 'Words, so to speak, Li benefactor, do you understand?"

Li Junge suddenly realized: "As long as people click on our website, they will naturally see unequal sentient beings, some are living well, and some are almost endangered. In this way, this will naturally induce people's sympathy, which is the origin of 'compassion', master, is that what you mean?"

Guoshan said again: "It's good, it's good. You know ten after hearing it. Donor Li really has a long history of family education."

This time Li Junge bowed in earnest: "Three of us, there must be my teacher, Master Guoshan, Junge has been taught."

Master Guoshan laughed loudly, patted Li Junge on the shoulder and said: "It's rare to have such a conversation. Let's walk and talk while walking. When we come to my site, we have to start the reception of bean curd rice at noon today. "

Master Guoshan sat on the stone steps, took off his boots and threw them into the basket, put on clean monk shoes, and then set foot on the stone steps.

Everyone walked up slowly, and the fifth cousin secretly shook his head in admiration at the back. This Piwa really wanted it, and with a few words, it was as if Master Guoshan had kissed his uncle and nephew.

With this ability, there is no one else in Lijiagou except him.

Li Junge supported his grandma all the way up, and said to Master Guoshan: "Master, you are also very concerned about world affairs!"

Guoshan said with a smile: "Necessary, I am still a member of the County Political Consultative Conference! But the main energy issue is to focus on the cultivation of people's hearts, which can be regarded as a practice of my religious circles."

After walking the stone steps, there is another mountain gate. There are more than 200 steps behind the mountain gate. There is a majestic temple on it, with grand regulations and simple vicissitudes.

In front of the mountain gate is another stone flat paved with red stones. The stones are also arranged in the pattern of bamboo mats, and there is an iron incense burner on each side.

The stone lawn is very clean, there is not a single fallen leaf, and it can be seen that someone sweeps it from time to time, but some grass blades still stick their heads out from the cracks in the stone, stubbornly showing their existence.

There was actually a parking lot next to it, and Li Junge was very surprised: "The village-to-village link has already reached Fawang Temple?"

Guoshan laughed and said, "The door of convenience is naturally to be opened."

Li Junge saw a small wooden sign hanging on the side of the parking lot, on which was written a doggerel: "Leave a space for parking, so you can turn around in the future; keep a thread of favor, so we can meet each other in the future."

He couldn't help but nodded secretly, this temple is really different from the oil monk temple scolded on the Internet.

After passing Wenchang Palace, you come to the gate of Xinshan. On the gate, there are four big characters "Tathagata Daochang".

Guoshan introduced: "This is the handwriting of the elder Chuanyin, the president of the Chinese Buddhist Association. The elder Chuanyin is a disciple of the old monk Xuyun, and he was later awarded as the ninth generation successor of the Yangzong Dharma system. In my teaching, the Dharma king is the Buddha Lord Tathagata. Fawang Temple, as the name suggests, is the temple of the Tathagata Buddha.”

"Every year on the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, on the Buddha's birthday, we hear the bells and chimes in the morning and evening. Devotees from all over the world gather here to worship, and we have to grind tens of catties of beans for our fast. It is really lively."

Then he said: "Fawang Temple has two mountain gates. The one you pass through first was inscribed by Yang Sen, the old warlord of Shuzhou in [-]."

Li Junge nodded and said: "The calligraphy of the old warlords is acceptable, and Lao Feng's 'Return my rivers and mountains' in official script next to Majiezi is also authentic."

Master Guoshan said with a smile: "Young Master Yang Sen is very good at planting trees. He planted trees in one place where the garrison is stationed. He especially likes to plant camphor trees. He planted several trees in the forest behind my temple. He also ordered to protect the precious trees in Fawang Temple, saying Come on funny, love trees more than people."

Li Junge laughed loudly, and introduced to the people around him: "Although this gentleman has many bad habits of the old warlords, he has made great achievements in the Anti-Japanese War! After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in [-], this gentleman once led his troops to march out of Sichuan on foot. , He just used his feet to measure from Shuzhou to Shanghai."
