Lingyin Sanskrit is pure, and Wengcun tea is fragrant.

When I was very young, I knew there was a Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, which was attributed to the popular Legend of Jigong at that time. In the eyes of children, Jigong is really a god, and the Lingyin Temple where Jigong's living Buddha practices is naturally a fairyland. If I can visit Lingyin Temple one day, can I also bathe in Buddha's light and have some Zen?

I didn't believe in Buddhism since I was a child, but when I arrived in Hangzhou, I decided to take a walk in Lingyin Temple. I said it was a walk, because I never asked God to worship Buddha, and I never went in front of the temple to burn incense. Jigong living Buddha said: "wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in his heart." And I also think that we can be merciful and don't have to worship Buddha deliberately.

At six o'clock in the morning, it was already dawn. As soon as I went out, the cool breeze blew gently, and the sweet-scented osmanthus came to my nose. I feel particularly energetic. It's religious to take such refreshments to the temple, isn't it?

On the way to Lingyin Temple, there are towering old trees everywhere. Looking at such a shade all the way is also a baptism of the soul. I have always felt that as long as there is compassion, there is bodhi everywhere. The purifying effect of nature on human mind can not be ignored.

Lingyin Temple is located in the west of West Lake, with its back to Beifeng and facing Feilai Peak. Founded in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has a history of 1700 years. As soon as I entered the gate, I really felt that this was a quiet place. The old trees are dancing and the birds are singing clearly. Sanskrit, smoke curled up. The Buddha statue is solemn and the ancient temple is majestic.

Lingyin Temple in the early morning is already crowded with people. There are so many people burning incense. I don't know how many are dedicated to Buddha. I don't like this kind of fun, so I turned and walked to Feilaifeng.

On the way, I met a tour guide with a group of people to introduce the legend of Feilaifeng. Finally, I said, "There is no scenery on Feilai Peak, so we don't have to waste our energy to climb it." I didn't stop listening. The scenery varies from person to person. Whether there is scenery or not depends on everyone's mentality and vision. Moreover, there is no scenery at the end, which does not mean that there is no scenery along the way, no scenery in front of you, and no scenery in your heart.

Few people climbed Feilai Peak, and they didn't meet many people along the way. It seems that no one has walked on the steps made of cement for a long time. The road up the mountain is tortuous, with many bends, but as long as you have firm confidence in going up the mountain, you can reach the top of the mountain no matter which way.

The mountains are well afforested, and many of them are natural old trees. The thick Gu Teng often crosses the road and has to bend over to pass. I can vaguely hear voices, but I can't see anyone. It's a bit like the artistic conception of "there seems to be no one on an empty mountain, but I feel like hearing a voice" written in an ancient poem, and I feel particularly quiet in my heart. Quiet enough to automatically filter the buzzing voices at the foot of the mountain, I only feel that the Sanskrit and the troubles in the world are put down in an instant.

A stone was erected at the top of the mountain, which read "Fly to the Peak". Because the mountain is not high and surrounded by green trees, you can hardly see the scene below. You can only vaguely see the cornices of Lingyin Temple through the shadows of trees. Those who want to climb high and look far may be disappointed.

After resting under the pavilion for a while, the number of people going up the mountain suddenly increased. The narrow terrace was almost crowded with people. I also went down the mountain from another path.

Get on the bus again, this time in the direction of Wengjiashan Village. Wengjiashan Village is also rich in Longjing tea, with more than 600 acres of Longjing tea garden, which has always been a good place to climb the West Lake and enjoy osmanthus tea. Because of the geographical location, osmanthus flowers in Wengjiashan area bloom ten days later than those in other places. Yu Dafu's novel Chi Guihua describes Wengjiashan's Shan Ye scenery and simple people's feelings. But now is a good time for osmanthus to bloom. For osmanthus in Wengjiashan, I am early.

Get off the bus and walk up the road. Not far away, you will reach the location of the old Longjing. The local people said it would be good luck to wash my face with the water from the old Longjing, and I couldn't help washing it. The clear spring water used to make tea should have a different taste!

Because I didn't want to be controlled by the saucer, I continued to walk alone, watching while walking. Wengjiashan Village is a village built on a mountain. The high and low houses are stacked on top of each other, and the ethnic tea in the village has also become rich. Villagers' houses are all beautifully built, almost all of which are exquisite villas. The air on the mountain is so good that villagers will not live long if they drink such good tea all the year round!

I don't know how far it has gone, but there are tea shops all the way. These tea shops are all run by villagers themselves, producing and selling by themselves. There are no ornate decorations in the shop, and there are no high-profile advertisements. I walked to an ordinary two-story building, separated from other houses by a certain distance. There is no other tea shop next to it, only an old man is watching. I decided to go to the store to buy some tea.

Grandma greeted me with a cordial smile, introduced me to all kinds of tea in the shop, and quietly asked the old man to make tea. Grandma said that everyone in the family is a guest. Try Wengjiashan's tea before going. The tea made by grandpa is just ordinary Longjing tea. The slightly tumbling tea leaves slowly spread out in the water, and the green color locked by time was released. A cup of tea smells fragrant and fragrant. Longjing famous tea really deserves its reputation!

I bought some tea from my grandmother and sent it to my friends. Friends say that tea is very fragrant and tastes good.

Hangzhou is not a slow-paced city, but in addition to busy work and life, Hangzhou people will also find a leisurely day, listen to the Sanskrit sound of Lingyin Temple and taste Longjing in Wengjiashan. For Hangzhou, I'm just a passer-by, and I'm glad I've heard the Sanskrit of Lingyin Temple and tasted the green tea of Wengjiashan.
