After Xiaoli's introduction, ye haoxuan first came to the Qiancao temple in Dongjing.
Asakusa temple, located in Taidong District of Dongjing, is the oldest temple in the capital of Dongjing. It is said that in the 36th year of emperor tuigu, two fishermen fished in miyukawa and picked up a golden temple audio and video. People nearby raised funds to build a temple to worship this Buddha statue. This is Asakusa temple.
"Doctor ye, this is the gate of Asakusa temple, which is called Lei men. It is said that it is the gate face of the Japanese state and the symbol of Asakusa. It is said that it was built in 942 to pray for peace and prosperity." Xiao Li introduced the local conditions and customs to yehaoxuan as if she were a family treasure. She had come to Beijing for the winter and was familiar with this place. Yehaoxuan could take her directly as a guide.
Two generals of the God of thunder and the God of wind can be seen on both sides of the front door of the tall Lei men. In front of the door, there are several huge lanterns hanging. From a distance, you can see the words Lei men with black background and white edge.
Walking into leimen, I saw that there was a stone paved path of more than 100 meters leading to the main hall for Avalokitesvara. Along the way, many people knelt down and walked forward.
However, yehaoxuan did not worship. He felt that it was demeaning to worship gods in the Japanese country. He could not bend his knees in this country.
The architectural style here is similar to that of Chinese temples, but less solemn than that of Chinese temples. Their advantage is that the buildings are large and slightly bright, which has something to do with the environment of Dongjing.
Walking into the main hall, I saw a golden Avalokitesvara statue inside. Incense is quite popular in this place, because Buddhism has risen rapidly here since it was introduced into the kingdom of Japan from the Tang Dynasty. The Japanese also found their faith.
"Doctor ye, don't you pay a visit?" Xiao Li smiled.
"No, in this place, it's better not to bend your knees. This is integrity." Yehaoxuan smiled and walked out of the hall. Xiaoli hurriedly followed.
"Xiao Li, you have been to Dongjing several times before. How can I feel that you are familiar with it?" Yehaoxuan asked.
"I have been here twice before, but I have a habit. No matter where I go, I will have a comprehensive understanding of the nearby scenic spots and local customs, and then put them on record, so you will think I am familiar with here." Xiao Li smiled and said.
"It's amazing. It's a good habit. No matter where I go, I will forget this place when I go ahead." Yehaoxuan smiled.
"Professional habits." Xiao Li said, pulling ye haoxuan to the other places of Asakusa temple. When she walked to the right of Asakusa temple, she saw a huge fountain.
"This is the hand washing pool. The water here is drinkable." Xiao Li pointed to the fountain and said, "I heard that the water here can cure all kinds of diseases. Many people will taste it here."
"It's just ordinary water. Where can you cure all kinds of diseases?" Ye haoxuan shook his head and said, "it's nothing more than the belief in people's hearts."
"Yes, it's just a matter of peace of mind to pray to God and Buddha. People respect ghosts and gods and are hard to make decisions." Said Xiao Li.
Looking at the crowds of people around him, yehaoxuan felt speechless. It seems that it is not just Chinese people who are superstitious. Sometimes Japanese people are much more superstitious than Chinese people because of their paranoid character.
When yehaoxuan was about to leave this place and go to look in front of the tower over there, the people around him suddenly gave a shout of joy. It seemed that they saw some big people. It felt like seeing their idol come.
Yehaoxuan looked back in surprise and saw a monk coming out of the hall. The monk was at least 80 years old. He was dressed in white robes and walked from the hall with the help of two monks.
"This is a Dharma monk of Asakusa temple. His name is maisheng. It is said that he is a man with divine powers who is loved by God. He has been here for decades and has to come out every day to sing morning praises. It is said that people can prevent Alzheimer's disease, but they do not know whether it is true or not." Said Xiao Li.
"Of course it's true. I am also Chinese. This is my father. My father has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for five or six years. But he is getting better and better by listening to scriptures here every day. Now he has a clear mind." A man in his thirties turned around and said something. The old man beside him should be his father. He knelt respectfully on the ground, showing a very pious look.
In other words, the maisheng monk sat on the ground with his knees crossed, his hands folded, and began to sing the Scriptures. Although he used Japanese, yehaoxuan could understand the Scriptures he sang. The Scriptures he sang were actually the Vajra Prajna paramita Sutra, which was also the Vajra Sutra. The speed of his chanting was not fast or slow, making people gradually feel a peace of mind.
Yehaoxuan closed his eyes and felt the meaning of the Scripture. After listening to it for a moment, he only felt that his noble Qi was not mobilized by the Lord. His mood was particularly relaxed, as if he had come to the endless prairie.
Yehaoxuan opened his eyes. He was slightly surprised, because he found that the old monk was just an ordinary person, and there was no magic fluctuation on him. But he can guide his mind and make himself reach a selfless state, which is the place that yehaoxuan can't figure out.
However, he was relieved that some monks only knew the Dharma and did not know the Dharma. However, because they were devoted to the Buddha, they would have some abilities that ordinary people could not understand. This is also normal.
Yehaoxuan looked around and saw that all the good men and women were sitting on the ground with their knees crossed. Their faces were not free to show a quiet smile. The Scriptures sung by the old monk made them reach a quiet state unconsciously.
This is self-cultivation, just like the Taoist nuns in Sanxian mountain. They live a quiet life, so their life span is very long. This old and chanting Scripture is just like the Taoist principle of self-cultivation. When you calm down, you will be clean.
And now it is winter. The old monk only wears a thin robe, but he doesn't mean to be afraid of the cold. This is also because he has reached the spiritual cultivation, so he won't feel the cold at all.
"Why don't you sit down and listen to the master chanting?" On the side of yehaoxuan, a girl in her twenties looked at yehaoxuan with curious eyes. She spoke Japanese.
"Sorry, I can't understand you." Yehaoxuan smiled.
"Oh, are you Chinese?" The girl asked in less fluent Chinese.
"Yes, I am Chinese." Yehaoxuan nodded.
"You should sit down. Master maisheng is an eminent monk. It's very pleasant to listen to him chanting scriptures. He can take you to an unprecedented relaxation." The girl smiled sweetly. She was very beautiful, and her voice was soft. Yehaoxuan felt that the girl's mind was pure, just like a piece of white paper. Maybe she lived a life of aloofness.
"I've always been relaxed." Yehaoxuan said.
"You're lying." The girl shook her head and said, "I can feel that you are very anxious. Maybe you have a wish that has not been achieved. Your state of mind is fundamentally uneven."
Yehaoxuan was stunned. The girl saw his mood at a glance, which surprised him. Indeed, his heart is really not calm now. Chinese medicine has just taken a big step and suffered setbacks. Although yehaoxuan has mastered some things and doesn't have to worry about the impact on the future, he still has some anxiety.
Because traditional Chinese medicine still has a long way to go, the behind the scenes mastermind of this event has not fully surfaced, and Murakami zuosu is secretly staring at him like a poisonous snake.
"Maybe, but it doesn't matter. I can adjust my mood." Yehaoxuan smiled.
"I hope what you said is true." The girl smiled and closed her eyes slightly. She folded her hands and listened to the Sutra of the dying.
The Sutra of the maisheng was not in a hurry. Within a while, the Vajra Sutra had been chanted for more than half. At this time, the voice of the maisheng who was chanting the Sutra suddenly gave a slight pause.
Everyone didn't notice this subtle detail, but yehaoxuan noticed it. He felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw a flush on Yasheng's face. Then his head tilted to one side, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"Master maisheng... Master maisheng's condition has been violated. Hurry, go and get the medicine... Hurry."
The two little monks who had been standing on both sides of the Maison began to panic. One of them held the Maison, and the other ran quickly to the hall.
"Maisheng master..." the girl kneeling on the side of yehaoxuan shouted. She stood up and ran to the hall quickly.
The crowd seemed a little flustered. The old monk named maisheng was obviously very loud here. When he was in a coma, the people around him immediately became flustered. Some of them hurriedly called an ambulance. People who knew some first aid knowledge ran to rescue him, and some took medicine because they were excited.
In a word, the scene was in a mess. In addition, the abbot of Asakusa temple and others hurried here, because maisheng was the oldest monk here, and only he knew Mahayana Buddhism. If something happened to him, it would not be a good thing for Asakusa temple.
At present, several doctors came in a hurry, because a medical team spontaneously organized by the Japanese people came here to examine the elderly monks.
One of them was a 25-year-old girl. She picked up a stethoscope and listened to him for a moment. Then she said something in Japanese seriously. Several doctors immediately carried a stretcher to take the old monk to the hospital.
"What did the woman doctor say just now?" Yehaoxuan doesn't understand Japanese. He asks Xiaoli.
