Jinling City, 300 kilometers away from the East China Sea.
Qixia mountain.
Qixia Temple.
As one of the four famous temples, the birthplace of Sanlun sect of Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River, visitors come to Qixia Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha all year round.
This mid autumn morning, a woman in a silk coat was walking up the mountain with a wine gourd.
Some women can see wrinkles on their faces when they are less than 30 years old, but some women are especially favored by time. Women stand out in their infatuated years. It can only be said that they have fallen in love with the city, but after all, they lack the warmth and maturity polished by the years. Only when they can defeat the women who are still young, can they be regarded as "fallen in love with the country".
This woman is obviously like this. In the past, tourists often look at her, but no one can tell her age. The skin can be broken by blowing, just like a green girl, but the temperament on the body seems to read the world of mortals.
Looking at her, the pilgrims can't help feeling strange. They think that no matter how the years change, this woman will never grow old. On the contrary, with the increase of age, it will become more and more attractive.
Attracted countless attention to the eyes of women around the line of sight turned a blind eye, occasionally drink a mouthful of wine, but never stop.
Just as she crossed the mountain gate, a pair of outstanding men and women appeared at the foot of Qixia mountain.
"Have you ever heard of San Lun Zong?"
The woman looked at the mountain road that she couldn't see. She asked in a low voice. Her tall figure was covered by plain green clothes, and her elegant face was not stained with lead. It seemed that she didn't fit in with the world.
"Sanlun" is one of the sects of Buddhism, which originated from the Guanzong of Mahayana Buddhism in ancient India. The Sanlun sect is based on the treatise, the twelve door treatise and the hundred treatises, translated by kumarashi and spread in China. Ji Zang of Sui Dynasty was the one who actually completed the three treatises. This sect emphasizes on the theory of the emptiness of the Dharma, also known as the Dharma sect. All sentient beings become Buddhists intelligently only because they are confused and blinded by wishful thinking. Therefore, whether they become Buddhists or not depends on their mistakes. "
The man beside her replied slowly, methodically and comprehensively. It is estimated that most tour guides are not as knowledgeable as he is.
The woman in green was not surprised. She turned to look at him and said, "it's hard for you."
She knew that he was a non believer, and that all he came here was to accompany himself.
The man shook his head and laughed, "sister, go up the mountain."
The woman in green nodded and stepped up.
After all, it's a thousand year old temple. The deeper it is, the closer it is to the mountain gate, the more solemn and heavy it is.
After the rainbow mirror, came to the Ming Zhengjun monument, the two stopped.
Looking at the inscriptions, which are said to have been drafted by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the man sighed: "if there is no story of Shaolin stick monk saving the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid that Buddhism will not have its glory today."
Judging from his words, he doesn't seem to have much respect for Buddhism.
"Different schools have different ideas." After reading the inscription, the woman walked into the temple.
"Elder sister, I heard that the third uncle once liked a Buddhist woman. Is that true?"
Across the mountain gate, the man turned and asked.
The woman in Green took a look at him. Her quiet eyes seemed to have insight into people's heart: "if you want to ask, you can directly say that we are brothers and sisters. Here, you don't have to play any machine."
Man wry smile, "elder sister, can't you leave some face for me?"
The woman was silent.
The man sighed and looked at the Maitreya Temple in front of him: "the third uncle is really infatuated. People have been dead for such a long time, but still can't forget. He hasn't even married yet."
The woman in Green took a look at him. "Maybe if you meet someone you really like in the future, you can understand the feeling of the third uncle."
"Sister, don't curse me."
"I'd rather not meet someone I like all my life than be miserable like my third uncle," he said
The woman was silent for a moment. She whispered, "is it bitter or not? I'm afraid only the third uncle knows."
"I'm really curious about what kind of matchless beauty it is that can make people like Uncle San remember for a lifetime. It's a pity that they have no chance to see her in this life."
The man shook his head and sighed, then laughed: "but in my opinion, no matter how gorgeous the other party is, I'm afraid it's similar to you."
Woman mouth slightly Yang: "is not the recent ability to improve, so want to find sister to practice?"
Smell speech, the man's face a change, quickly away from some: "elder sister, so many people in the temple, you have to take care of my younger brother's face."
Men directly beg for mercy, regardless of male dignity.
Obviously, he is not the type who wants to lose face and live to suffer. Although his skill is extraordinary, it depends on who is fighting with his elder sister, which is pure abuse.
The woman shook her head with a smile, took back her eyes from him and walked towards the Pilu palace.
The man quickly followed up.
Through the hall of Dharma, the hall of chanting Buddha, the Sutra library and the memorial hall of master cross the sea, a pair of brothers and sisters came to the famous relic tower.Stone pagoda octagonal five, about 15 meters high, is the largest relic Pagoda in the state of dragon, built in the Sui Dynasty. The base is surrounded by stone railings, which are used to restore the original objects of the Five Dynasties. Sea water, dragon, Phoenix, fish and shrimp are carved on the ground of the base, but only part of them remains. Under the pagoda, there are eight Sakyamuni phases on each side of xumizuo.
The top of the pagoda was originally a metal brake, with iron chains leading to the heavy beast back iron ring at the ridge end. Later, it was replaced by a pagoda top made of several layers of stone carved lotus flowers. The pagoda is a masterpiece of Buddhist art in the Five Dynasties. After thousands of years of wind and rain, although some of the stone eaves have been destroyed, they still stand tall and become the witness of the flourishing Buddha spirit in Jinling.
The sun is shining.
The voice of Buddha is vast.
At this moment, under the relic tower, a graceful woman with a wine gourd hanging on her waist, hands together, facing the relic tower, slightly bent down, looking very devout.
Not far away from her, a pair of brothers and sisters obviously noticed her existence, and their steps coincided.
The woman stood up straight. She didn't know whether it was because of the light or because she was in the Buddha's solemnity. At the moment, the evil face that countless people were afraid of looked very holy.
She turned around, as if she felt it, and her eyes turned away, slowly facing the woman in green.
They nodded almost at the same time, then staggered.
"I didn't expect her to believe in Buddhism?"
Looking back at the back of the other party, the man is a little incredible.
Looking at the Stupa, the woman in Green said quietly, "she also came from a Buddhist family."
Thunder in silence!
Man a Leng, disbelief way: "elder sister, you are not joking?"
He has never heard of it.
The woman in green didn't speak any more and walked towards the stupa calmly.
The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in tears and laughter.
The Dao Ma Dan who killed the whole Sichuan Province with bloody means is actually from Buddhism?
It's really my Buddha's mercy.
