Road idiot tour guide

Chapter 502
Everyone is very happy to meet the little white dragon!Otherwise, just climbing the mountain is very tiring.

As he puts it, focus on something else, and you'll be less physically and mentally exhausted.

Long Teng looked at him distressedly, wondering if he was tired from climbing and talking like this?Open the water in the bag and hand it to him.

He Huan took a sip and continued: "In Jizu Mountain, Kasyapa held his clothes to wait for Maitreya; at the Heart Lantern Festival, the sect's master looked up to Xuyun.

Xu Yun became a monk at the age of 19, traveled around the world, visited holy places, and left his footprints both at home and abroad. Except for boats, he traveled tens of thousands of miles on foot.

I have experienced the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the New China, the Opium War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Anti-Japanese War, etc. all my life. It can be said that I have been in troubled times all my life.

In such troubled times, he sat down fifteen temples, revived the six great ancestral courts, inherited the five sects of Zen, had millions of believers, practiced asceticism for a hundred years, and passed away at the age of 120.Known as the master of Zen Buddhism.

One of the six ancestral homes to revive is Jizu Mountain.This is the Zhusheng Temple, the largest temple in Jizu Mountain built by Xuyun. "

Compared with the monasteries passing by below, Zhusheng Temple is indeed full of incense.Firstly, the temple is very famous.Secondly, this is the end point of private cars, the starting point of sightseeing cars, and the starting point of most people on foot.

Next to it is Xianghui Street, which sells incense, eats, drinks and stays.

The excitement of the world and the incense of the Holy Land gather here.It was crowded with people.Buddhism and the world of mortals meet here.Fortunately, it was the fourth day of junior high school. If it was the first day of junior high school, it would be even more lively.

In such a place, the two dared not put the fairy down again. After walking through the Bajiao Pavilion in the Fangsheng Pond, He Huan said to the tourists and pilgrims behind him: "Go first."

Just turn to a corridor with few people next to it and sit down.

A few people looked at it, rubbed against the guide all the way, and wanted to continue, but they could tell that Xiao Bailong was the tour guide hired by the girl.

This girl, including her cat, seems to be from a wealthy family. After walking for so long, she must rest for a while.They can't be too old!
I had to go ahead.

He Huan also wanted to be alone with Miss Long, otherwise it would be inconvenient to hold hands.It's just that he never drives away tourists.Tour guides treat tourists, even if they meet with them by chance, that is fate.This is also another kind of connection with sentient beings.

In many scenic spots, there will be tourists rubbing against the tour guides, some tour guides are happy, and some tour guides will be angry.

For He Huan, he is very happy when someone comes to listen to him, as long as his tourists don't care.

"The pavilions here are built like gardens." Long Teng said.

"Isn't it? But this temple was really built by Xu Yun himself who went abroad to raise funds. It is the largest temple in Jizu Mountain.

Worshiping Buddha, many people pay their respects in the Daxiong Hall and then leave.But in fact, many temple buildings are very distinctive.

The reason why temples become scenic spots is not just because of their religious functions. These cultural relics protection units are very historical and cultural. "

At this moment, the inside was crowded and crowded, and the two of them did not rush, they simply walked around the pavilions and pavilions to the Buddhist scripture building at the back to watch the calligraphy, paintings and stele inscriptions of famous people.

Sure enough, the front is bustling, and the back is deserted.very quiet.

"Zhusheng Temple is the largest temple in Jizu Mountain. But before Xuyun, when Xu Xiake came, he just mentioned it briefly. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called Yingxiang Temple, and it was also called Boyu Temple.

Xu Yun got married at the age of 17 and became a monk at the age of 19. His old father, who was old and had a single lineage, was so angry that he looked for him everywhere.He hid in a cave and meditated.This sitting is many years.

When he came out of the cave, the world was changing, but he didn't know why.When I was confused, I got guidance from a master and started to travel around the world.

A young monk, apart from his liking for Buddhism, of course he is also ignorant of worldly affairs.After I came out, I passed by and stood, and I felt deeply ashamed of my parents.

In order to repay the kindness of his parents, Xu Yun kowtowed in three steps and lasted a year, worshiping from Mount Putuo to Mount Wutai.Later, he visited famous mountains, great rivers and Buddhist holy places, paid homage to Emei, and joined LS.

Then I crossed the Himalayas from LS and went to India to study Buddhism.In the Indian Buddhist classics, there is also a record of Venerable Kasyapa's entry into Jizu Mountain.

After returning to China, the first stop was Yunzhou, facing Jizu Mountain, and paying homage to Venerable Kassapa.Jizu Mountain had 36 temples and 72 nunneries in the Ming Dynasty. When Xuyun arrived, there were only a dozen temples for descendants, and foreign monks were not allowed to place orders. "

"What is the Temple of Children and Grandchildren?"

"The so-called descendants temple means that the monks do not abide by the precepts. The temple is like a family business. It is passed down from generation to generation, doing some rituals and receiving some offerings. This is called descendants temple.

Originally, when monks traveled around the world, temples received them for free, which was called a registration order.But at that time, Jizu Mountain was a descendant temple. It was said to be a monk, but it was actually a private property of the family.

There are many such cases now.Especially the temples in scenic spots all recruit relatives to become monks, and they are reluctant to place orders for foreign monks, for fear of sharing their money.

Now monks don’t like to place orders, and they are expelled to place orders when they can’t pay their living expenses and can’t survive.Similar to dismissal.That was also pretty bleak. "

Long Teng nodded.

"However, Xu Yun climbed to the top of the mountain and worshiped devoutly at the Huashou Gate. Suddenly, three bells rang from the stone gate, echoing in the empty valley for a long time. Xu Yun made a vow to Venerable Kasyapa. Revitalize Jizu Mountain."

The two walked slowly while talking.

"Xu Yun continued to travel. Thirteen years later, Xu Yun paid homage to Emei again and gave a gift to Jizu. He was 13 years old at this time. Jizu Mountain is still a temple for children and grandchildren.

At that time, Xuyun came twice, just like this, there was no place to live, and he was meditating under a tree.Although he wanted to revitalize the Kasyapa Dojo, the opportunity never came.

Xu Yun went to Spring City to retreat for the new year. After leaving the customs, he gave lectures in various temples in Spring City. The famous Qiongzhu Temple and Huating Temple in Spring City left his footprints.

As his fame grew, the admiral of Dali invited him to give lectures at Chongsheng Temple, and he became a convert to thousands of people. The admiral invited him to preside over the Chongsheng Temple.

Xu Yun declined, saying that he wanted to revive the Kasyapa Dojo on Jizu Mountain.Everyone praised him, and under the escort of the admiral, he arrived at Jizu Mountain, and accompanied by the local magistrate, he found a dilapidated temple to settle down.

This is the bowl temple.The admiral and the magistrate escorted him, and the Zisun Temple couldn't say that Jizu Mountain belonged to them, so he was not allowed to stay.The third time, finally the opportunity arrived.

Xuyun cut bamboo and moved stones every day to build a monastery. Whenever disciples from the four groups came to the mountain, they would be received according to the rules of the forest in the ten directions.

He also preached scriptures to influence the fake monks in the descendants temple, and the monks in the descendants temple knew: Oh!It turns out that to be a monk you have to wear monk's clothes and obey the precepts!
Gradually, the Jizushan Temple became more and more disciplined, and Xu Yun became highly respected.There are rules, but there must be a place for rules.The temple is still so barren and dilapidated that it can't be built by monks alone. Yunzhou is too poor to rely on believers.

Therefore, Xu Yun went to Nanyang to speak scriptures and raise funds.At this time, the monks in Yunzhou called, saying that the government wanted to requisition the property of the temple, and asked him to return to the mountain as soon as possible.Monks from other places also urged him to return to China for consultation.

Xu Yun had been on foot all his life, now he took a ferry to rush to Shanghai, and went to Beijing with a group of monks to appeal.In the capital, he was received by Prince Su, and a bunch of princes and ministers he had met in the past came to help, studying how to write a memorial to the emperor.

With the help of these dignitaries and protectors, Emperor Guangxu issued a decree that the local government should not refrain from donating temple property, and this turmoil came to an end.

Xu Yun also took the opportunity to ask for "Long Zang", which is the Buddhist classics published by the royal family, saying that it is available everywhere, but Yunzhou does not have it yet.

Emperor Guangxu granted permission, and granted purple clothes and jade seals, conferred the title of Boyu Temple as the Temple of Protecting the Country and Zhusheng, and titled Xuyun as the Master of Foci and Dharma.

With this big hack, who would dare to touch Zhusheng Temple?At that time, Xu Yun was famous all over the world.He took the scriptures given by the emperor with peace of mind, went to Nanyang, and continued to preach scriptures in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand.

Thailand itself is a country with the heyday of Buddhism, but it is Theravada Buddhism.There are also many eminent monks and mages, so Xu Yun was not taken seriously at first.

Until one day when he was teaching scriptures at Longquan Temple, Xu Yun sat in full posture and settled down for nine days, causing a sensation in Bangkok.From the princes and aristocrats down to the Li people, they all came to donate money and materials.The king invited him to the palace to give lectures.

Two years later, the old monk Xuyun brought [-] horses and brought the donated materials back to Jizu Mountain via the Ancient Tea-Horse Road to rebuild the Zhusheng Temple.including other temples.

So it can be said that the Jizushan Temple is funded by Thai believers!Jizu Mountain is also well-known in the Buddhist circles of South Asia, except for Kassapa, it is because of Xuyun.

Xuyun finally fulfilled the wish he made for the first time in Huashoumen, revitalizing the Jizu Mountain, the Kasyapa Dojo.

But once the emperor and the monks, Buddhism relies on politics.In the first year of the Republic of China, the society was turbulent and the people suffered.

Monks can no longer rely on the government and the people to support them. Xuyun opened a Buddhist church in Jizu Mountain to revitalize the monks' teaching and practice Qinnong Chan.Look, in extraordinary times, you can practice Zen while doing farm work.

In short, it is self-reliance.However, most monks practiced in monasteries for a long time and were supported by benefactors, so they really couldn't do farm work.Everyone began to dislike them.All over the country began to chase monks and destroy temples.

This is not a one-time occurrence in the history of our country. It can be used for you in peacetime, but you can’t just sit there and recite sutras in times of chaos.Religion depends on politics.

General Li Genyuan, who was the military and political chief of Yunzhou at that time, personally led troops to confiscate temple property, drive out monks and destroy temples in various parts of the province.

General Li has heard of Xu Yun's name for a long time, and because Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty granted him the title, he believed that Xu Yun was a remnant of the Qing Dynasty, and he was appointed to arrest him.

The monks and nuns of Jizu Mountain were restless, panicked, and persuaded the old monk Xuyun to escape together. Xuyun said: "If you want to run, run away. If it is karma, you should die. What's the use of running? It's better to die for the religion!" Everyone listened Later, they all stayed in the temple and did not run away.

In August, General Li Gengen really led his troops to Jizu Mountain, stationed troops at Xitan Temple, and began to demolish the temple and destroy the Buddha frantically.

The situation was critical, so Xu Yun went to Xitan Temple alone to see General Li.General Li slapped the table and roared: What is the use of Buddhism?What's the benefit?

Xu Yun replied: The sage set up teachings to benefit the world and benefit the people, and to do good and eliminate evil.Since ancient times, politics and religion have been paralleled, politics is used to harmonize the people, and education is used to transform the people.Buddhism teaches people to control the mind, the mind is the foundation of all things, and if it is right, all things can be peaceful, and the world is peaceful!
Religion has always been used by politics. Xu Yun first read Confucianism and then Buddhist scriptures, and he understands this truth very well.

General Li's complexion and tone became better at that time, and he asked again: What do you want these clay and wood sculptures for?Waste of money!

Xu Yun said: It's awe-inspiring!If people's hearts are not in awe, they will do all kinds of evil, and they will do all kinds of evil, and disaster will come.The ancestral halls of Chinese clans and the statues of Chinese and foreign countries all make the heart return to and trust in, and the effect is incredible.

General Li smiled and ordered the left and right to bring tea and snacks.He asked kindly again: Why did the monk not do good deeds, but instead did many bad deeds and became a waste of the state?
Xu Yun said: "Monk is a general term, and it is different from ordinary saints."It is not possible to abandon all the monks when one or two monks are not good.It's like you can't scold Confucius and kill all the scholars just because one or two scholars are not good.

Even though you command the army with strict military discipline, not all of them are as smart and upright as you, General!Is it possible to punish and punish the army because of this?
The sea does not abandon fish and shrimp, so it is great. Buddhism regards nature as the sea, and it is all-encompassing. The monk upholds the Buddha, protects and upholds the Three Jewels, and subtly influences it. It is not a waste!
Look, look, how eloquent!
General Li Gengen was overjoyed when he heard this. If you want to use this analogy, I can understand it.

After some in-depth discussions, we had dinner with him, and listened to the old monk talk about cause and effect. General Li repented and said, "It turns out that Buddhism is so profound and subtle. I have killed monks and destroyed temples, and my bad karma is heavy. What should I do?"
Xu Yun said: This is caused by a temporary atmosphere, not your fault, as long as you make a vow to protect it as much as possible in the future, the merits will be immeasurable!

Check it out!How eloquent!Compared with those believers who curse at every turn!
General Li was overjoyed when he untied his knot at once.I sincerely ask the old monk Xuyun to prove the Three Refugees for him and become a lay disciple who studies Buddhism at home.Since then, he has become a powerful guardian of the Buddhist circle in Yunzhou. "

Long Teng was fascinated by what he heard, and the two also stayed in the quiet corridor for a long time.

Gradually it was noon, some went to eat fast in the Zhaitang of Zhusheng Temple, and some went to Xianghui Street nearby.

He Huan looked at Long Teng, "Are you hungry?"

Long Teng shook his head.

"Then they go to eat, and we go to worship Buddha."

He Huan put the fairy into the cat bag, and the two got up and went to the Daxiong Palace.The flow of people is like a tide, and when it's time for dinner, they will recede.

Buddha can't stop people from eating!

The courtyard in front of the main hall was much empty.A dozen or so people were offering incense and worshiping Buddha.

Seeing Xiaobailong come in with an unusually beautiful girl, it is inevitable to take a second look, but after all, everyone came to worship Buddha, not Xiaobailong.

So after a happy event, everyone worships their own.

Although it is a Chinese Buddhist temple, it is also full of colorful prayer flags.The lama who kowtowed in three steps also came, prostrating with five bodies.

He Huan was not in a hurry, and stopped in front of the hall, "These two cypress trees were planted by Xu Yun himself. You can see that one is lush and the other is sparse. The sparse one was struck by lightning, but it is also miraculous. The land chiefs got together and survived."

Long Teng looked up at the cypress tree in the center where a trace of fireworks reached into the sky, feeling silent in his heart.

Looking forward, drinking light is just like the main hall, Lingyue Chonghui, and the inscriptions on the three gold plaques show the splendor of Zhusheng Temple.

"These three inscriptions were written by Sun Yat-sen, Zhao Puchu, and Liang Qichao respectively. Drinking Light is Venerable Kasyapa, also known as Drinking Light Buddha. Drinking Light is like a statue, and Lingyue is resplendent, which means that the Kasyapa Temple has been revitalized.

This was also Xuyun's newly hired Dharma protector in order to keep the Kasyapa Dojo during the turmoil in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.The Republic of China invited Li Da to protect the law again.

The old and the new alternate, and it was rebuilt in the 80s, and it was established as a national key temple of Chinese Buddhism. "

Long Teng looked at the cypress tree that had been struck by lightning and shot straight into the blue sky. What happened to the Jizushan Temple was as rough as the old monk Xuyun!The old monk Xuyun is like the wheel of history, rolling in the world of mortals for three dynasties!

The two washed their hands, took the incense, finished the incense, and entered the hall.

"The Sakyamuni Buddha enshrined in this Mahavira Hall is different from what we are used to seeing. You can see that he is holding a Udumbara flower, and Kasyapa and Ananda are standing beside him. You see, Kassapa is smiling. This is the famous Nianhua smile."

After worshiping the Buddha, the two rejoiced in the merit box and visited around.

"This is five hundred arhats, imitating the Qiongzhu Temple in Spring City. You can see that this is obviously Sinicized, and they are all wearing Hanfu from the Ming and Qing Dynasties."

Most people worship Buddha and don't know which Buddha is in charge of what, so worshiping all the gods and Buddhas, following He Huan, Long Teng at least got to know each Buddha and Bodhisattva.

But he can also call some arhats by name and talk about their origins.Long Teng couldn't help but look sideways at him.

She doesn't know how to become a monk, but as for him, when he talks about Buddhism, he can recite a few passages from the scriptures. He knows all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Suddenly he took his hand.
