The six gave them a blank look, "Guys who have no sympathy, can we compare with you? Guys with simple minds and well-developed limbs." After finishing speaking, they still did not forget to get Yue Houming's support, "Yes! Xiaoyue" They are now a united front

Yue Houming panted heavily, put his hands on his knees, and nodded, he was so tired that he couldn't even speak

"Here!" Fang Monan took out two 'mineral water' from the backpack behind him, but there was space spring water inside, and handed them a bottle for each of them

"Little girl is eccentric, why not us!" Ni Baohong yelled resolutely, her voice was whiny.

Li Yi rubbed his arm for a while, "The more you live, the younger you are, don't you, let me be normal"

Fang Monan smiled, and took out mineral water from his backpack, one for each

"The little girl is thoughtful." Ni Baohong smiled, unscrewed the lid, and took a few sips of water, "Wow! Where is this mineral water, so delicious?"

"Okay, stop nagging, hurry up and buy a ticket" Li Yi waved his hand

Ni Baohong walked towards the ticket office, and the sixth son drank half a bottle of water in one go, "Yeah! The second son is right, this water is really delicious."

"Hehe... When you are hungry, eating chaff is as sweet as honey, but when you are full, eating honey is not sweet." Fang Monan said seriously, "It's because you are both tired and thirsty."

"Maybe!" Yue Houming calmed down and said slowly

At this time Ni Baohong took the ticket and left, "Let me see" Fang Monan asked curiously

Ni Baohong muttered, "What's so interesting about this, isn't it just a ticket?"

Fang Monan looked at it, and it seemed to be a receipt. The Xishan Scenic Area was printed in ink on the head, with ten yuan written on it, and it was buckled with the big red stamp of the Xishan Scenic Area Administrator Association.

"Hmph!" Fang Monan curled his lips coldly and cursed in his heart. It is the first time in the history of this dynasty that local governments will collect money from the good mountains and rivers and ancient buildings that belong to the whole people. From then on, it is inappropriate to use the analogy of leaving money to buy money, but who can say otherwise!

Fang Monan remembered that when he was young, there was also a small temple in Yunshan, Yunxian County. In the past, pious old men and women went around giving alms, or good men and believers donated a little to maintain the livelihood of the small temple. Later, due to the construction of tourism in various places, the government took it over, and of course after the large-scale construction Tickets are about to be collected. The old men and women are willing to fight together, and there is a lot of trouble. Fortunately, the government finally compromised. All the old men and women who hold the ID card of the county are free of charge, so they appease them

Why!It's hard to describe in one word. Let's take a look at the antique flavor while it still maintains the original flavor!Don't think about it in the future, just the tickets can scare you to death

After checking the ticket, enter the Jialan Temple. It is indeed a famous temple that has been preserved for more than 1000 years. The architectural layout of Buddhist temples in Han Dynasty has certain examples. Most of them are typical ancient official buildings. The layout is standardized and the overall order is symmetrical. There are Shanmen hall, Tianwang hall, Daxiong hall, Sutra hall, etc.; on the left and right sides, there are bell and drum second floors, Jialan hall, Patriarch hall, etc. symmetrically; In the small courtyards on both sides, the layout is rigorous and the scale is grand, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters.

These buildings and hatchback corridors are high and low, orderly.

Fang Monan and the others bypassed the first two halls and advanced into the Daxiong Hall, which is brightly colored, resplendent and solemn. The hall faces south. The main hall is nine rooms wide and five rooms deep. , Climbing up the steps, the glazed glass on the main ridge has a large scale, and after wind and rain, it is still shining brightly. Beware of the door between the left and right tips, the shape is simple, and the pot door decorated in front of the door is very old.

The method of reducing columns is adopted in the hall, reducing twelve inner columns, expanding the front space area, which is convenient for arranging Buddha statues and carrying out Buddha activities. , are all the stories of Buddha, the 53 references of the good fortune boy, the Arhat map and the thousand-armed and thousand-eyed Avalokitesvara, etc., are all huge works, quite bold, even the top ceiling is painted with circles, dragons, phoenixes, flowers, Sanskrit and other patterns, which are very varied

Fang Monan and the others also went to see Bodhisattvas. There are many Buddhist Bodhisattvas, but the ones people are most familiar with are: Manjusri Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Universal Worthy Bodhisattva, Jizo Bodhisattva, regardless of Bodhisattvas, there is one characteristic, that is, they all have beautiful features and basically have foreheads. The chest is broad, the cheeks are full, the eyebrows are kind, the top of the bun is two sections, the shoulders are straight, the chest is thick, the body is slender and straight, which is the standard image of a beautiful and handsome man.

Yue Houming looked at the statue of the Bodhisattva in front of him, "Hey! You said, since the Bodhisattva came to this world to save all living beings, and there are so many people in the world who need to be saved, the task is heavy and the road is long, it should be a worried expression That's right, it will be a kind-hearted, smiling expression!" [

Ni Baohong shook her head and said, "We are materialists" as if you don't ask me, I really don't understand this

"It's not easy, because Bodhisattvas are gods." Dabao said with a smile

"That's right! My Dabao is right, everything is possible." Fang Monan rubbed Dabao's head, looked at the Bodhisattva with awe in his heart, and said calmly, "Because Bodhisattva is a god, so she She has no emotions and desires, she has no pain and happiness, nothing arouses her joy or sorrow. She just looks down at all beings with a pair of seemingly kind eyes. In fact, the suffering of all beings does not stir up the slightest ripples and waves in her heart. , the distance between sentient beings and Bodhisattvas is too far, Sun Monkey can't reach it even if he turns a hundred and eight thousand somersaults."

"Pfft..." Ni Baohong snickered

"Laugh? Did I say it?" Fang Monan glanced at him and said, "Can humans compare with gods?" Wrong word

Ni Baohong waved his hand, meaning you continue

Fang Monan continued, "The Bodhisattva's amiable expression in the eyes of all living beings is just the imagining of all living beings or the illusion of self-abasement and narcissism. The smile of the Bodhisattva is because all living beings have a smile in their hearts, and all living beings look forward to a smile in their hearts. All living beings look at the world with a smiling heart. Everything in the world is smiling.

"Buddhas are born from the heart, there is a Buddha in the heart, and everything you see is a Buddha; the heart is a lotus root, and everything you see turns into a lotus root," said the six sons, rubbing their chins with twinkling eyes

"The story of Su Dongpo and Foyin!" Erya said with a smile

"Oh! This Erya too" Li Yi asked cheerfully

Erya raised her chin and said, "Of course, what Grandpa Lin said is that the great talent Su Dongpo suffered the loss." She said old-fashionedly, "Grandpa Lin also said that people must have a heart of benevolence and righteousness, a heart of kindness, and a heart of kindness." With a sincere heart, a grateful heart, a compassionate heart, a generous heart, and a tolerant heart, with this kind of heart, when you look at the world, life, and life, you will probably see the beauty of the world, the blue sky, the beauty of flowers and birds , the true love in the world has happiness in the heart, and everything you see is happiness; if you have happiness in your heart, everything you see is happiness." She paced back and forth, imitating the appearance of the old man

but the big guy was amused

Li Yi's eyes flickered slightly and said, "Are there any gods in this world, Dabao Erya?"

Dabao's two girls nodded together and said, "Even if you don't, you still have to be in awe."

Erya said doubtfully, "Grandpa Lin said that the reverence for gods and Buddhas and the removal of superstitions are a kind of sacred power, which can restrain and correct people's uneven minds. He also said that everyone is mortal, but don't no bottom line”

"It seems very profound, but let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, just remember it." Dabao also looked at the adults with a puzzled face.

"Listen to your sister, she's right" Liu Zi rubbed their smooth hair and said that although the words were childish, they had deep meaning, these two little guys taught really well!

The six sons and the others looked at the gods and Buddhas in front of the temple, they were superstitious about feudalism, and they naturally felt awe in their hearts.

Ni Baohong said, "You two little fellows are really villains."

"Let's go! After watching the Bodhisattva lower his eyebrows, let's go to the King Kong's glaring eyes and go to the Palace of Heavenly Kings." Ni Baohong held Dabao by the hand.

"The Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows, seeing all living beings, since the beginning, samsara, life and death, he has a great compassionate heart, so he wants to save all living beings, so he follows all living beings."

Yue Houming followed behind and echoed Dao King Kong's glaring eyes. Because he saw evil spirits, he often destroyed the Dharma and misled sentient beings.

"The "Four Heavenly Kings Protecting the World" are also called the "Four King Kongs" after Sinicization." The six sons narrowed their eyes, looking at the tall statues in the temple and said

Buddhism divides the world into the world of desire and the "six desire heavens". The desire realm: human society, hell, and hungry ghosts; the six desire heavens: the heaven above humans and ghosts. "Heaven"—Four heavenly kings, each protecting the world. Guangmu Heavenly King: wears red armor and wears a helmet, holds the sheath in the left hand and holds the red rope in the right; Northern Heavenly King Du Wen: wears a golden armor, holds a pagoda in the left hand, and holds a three-pronged stem in the right hand.

The Sinicization of the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism formed the "Four King Kongs" in the Huaxia Arhat Hall, and became the incarnation of "good weather": Chiguo Heavenly King Magic Ritual Shou: Wearing purple gold dragon flower fox mink, career growth Heavenly King Magic Ritual Green: palm blue light A mouthful of swords, professional style Guangguo Tianwang Moli Red: palm a jasper pipa, professional tunes of the heavenly king Molihai: palm Hunyuan rice umbrella, professional rain

In fact, the function of the four heavenly kings in charge of good weather in the world is the result of the Sinicization and secularization of Buddhism, reflecting the people's desire for good weather and good things in life (to be continued, welcome to () to subscribe, reward,,
