Zen temple joke

This morning, non-stop, Liulang Lake Wenying, Tiger Running Park, Hu Xueyan's former residence.

Hu Xueyan came out from his former residence, and it was already half past eleven. I didn't eat any food in the morning except filling my stomach with spring water in Tiger Run Park. Thirst and fatigue are the second, and hunger is the key.

Fortunately, next to Hu Xueyan's former residence is Wangjiang Road, and there are many restaurants and so on. I just walked around. What lobster restaurants and scallops are there? I dare not go in. After shopping around, I found a noodle restaurant and drank a big bowl of noodle soup. Comfortable. I'm not ashamed that I can't afford lobster. You eat lobster and I eat noodles. Everyone has his own way of life. This is worse.

Have a good rest and find a bus to Lingyin Temple by the roadside. Get in the car and open the map of Gaud. The bus stops at Lingyin Road.

Suddenly, on the map of Gaode, I saw the roadside where the bus was going. There was a scenic spot sign with two peaks in the cloud. I quickly put my head out of the window and searched all the way. I actually saw the Imperial Monument Pavilion of Emperor Kangxi on the roadside. It's just a pity that I didn't take a photo of this pavilion conveniently.

When we arrived at Lingyin Temple, we spent 45 yuan on tickets at the ticket booth. We walked into the gate with three black gold plaques engraved with "Lingyin Temple in Jiang Zemin" and saw a huge stone tablet with the word "Lingyin" written on it. This stone tablet may have been polished by tourists for years, and it has been thick with patina, especially the turtle nose, which has been stained with light. This monument is engraved with exquisite Yunlong patterns around it, and there is a square seal above the text. On closer inspection, I didn't recognize the printed handwriting. Look at this magnificent monument. It was written by Kangxi or Qianlong.

Entering the gate of the scenic spot, I obviously felt the surge of people. However, the flow of people here is different from that near the West Lake. Most of them are in small groups with sachets on their backs.

It is said that earlier, the tourism market in Hangzhou was propped up by aunts in Suzhou and Shanghai.

Relying on the power of faith, these aunts go to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to burn incense on time every three years. Behind his family's back, he donated his secretly accumulated food money to the temple, praying for the Buddha to protect his family's safety.

Go up against the stream flowing from the cold spring and follow the direction of people flow, and soon you will reach Feilaifeng.

Feilaifeng should be the most important landscape in Lingyin Temple Scenic Area. In the lower part of Feilai Peak, there are several caves connected inside and outside, such as Yuru Cave, Longhong Cave and Qinglin Cave. The grotesque stones at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside are carved with Buddha statues of various dynasties, and the cracks in the stones are covered with old trees and dense vines. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at the top of the mountain, you can't see how high Feilai Peak is except for the shade. In fact, Feilaifeng is a very small mountain.

Drilling in several caves under Feilai Peak, all kinds of stalactites are hung on the cave walls, and all kinds of Buddha statues are carved, dating from the Five Dynasties to the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The age and name of each group of Buddha statues are marked next to them. It's just that the heads of Buddha statues are mostly incomplete. There is a group of three Buddha statues, which reads: "Jiangyin Taishou, Yulin Timur Reloaded". Timur must be a Mongolian name. This group of statues seems to have been carved by a man named timur in Yuan Dynasty. This timur is from Yulin and works as a judge in Jiangyin.

Next to Feilai Peak, there is a seven-level stone pagoda that is not high, namely Gongli Pagoda.

Gong Li is the founder of Lingyin Temple, a monk named Hui Li. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a wise monk from India came to the north peak of the West Lake in Hangzhou. Seeing the beautiful scenery here, he thought it was a place to hide fairies, so he built a temple in Beifeng and named it Lingyin Temple. It has a history of 1600 years.

Maybe monk Huili is homesick. He saw a 7-point Koishiyama in front of the temple, which seemed very similar to Jiu Feng, the spirit of his hometown. Think about it, is Ling Jiufeng's hometown flying here? Therefore, Koishiyama in front of Lingyin Temple was named Feilai Peak.

It is also because of the effective achievements of Lingyin Temple and the magical legend of Feilaifeng. Since the Five Dynasties, some people have carved Buddha statues in caves and cliffs of Feilaifeng, and up to the Song, Yuan, Ming and Feilaifeng, more than 470 Buddha statues have been accumulated. Now, more than 330 statues are basically well preserved. The statue of Feilai Peak is now a national key protected cultural relic.

You see, there are many people climbing the upper reaches of the stone steps in Feilaifeng. Instead of continuing to climb the mountain, I turned around and crossed the river to Lingyin Temple.

To visit Lingyin Temple, you must buy 35 yuan's fragrant flower coupons. The so-called fragrant flower coupon is actually another name for tickets. I just bought tickets for Lingyin Temple in 45 yuan, but I can't see Lingyin Temple. Me too, hehe. I usually don't worship Buddha or burn incense when I enter a temple. Because there are many Buddhist rules, we don't know anything, and we are afraid of making mistakes and offending Buddhism, which is not beautiful.

Forget it. Can't I go in? Go ahead, on the side of the road, you can just see the towering Heavenly King Hall.

From the past achievements, I know that Lingyin Temple has been destroyed and rebuilt 14 times since it was founded by Huili monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now, the so-called Lingyin Temple, the oldest Heavenly King Hall, was later restored.

Through the wooden fence, the tall and magnificent Heavenly King Hall is hidden in the green forest. The huge plaque hanging under the eaves on the second floor: "Yunlin Temple" was a joke left by Kangxi.

When Kangxi visited Lingyin Temple, the old monk in the temple begged the emperor to leave Mo Bao. It is said that Kangxi drank a little too much at that time. When he wrote it, he wrote the rain prefix of the traditional Chinese character "Ling" in Lingyin Temple from the beginning. This time, no matter how Kangxi considered it, Lingyin Temple could not be an armchair strategist. A college student next to him wrote the words Yunlin Temple on his palm and secretly reached out to Kangxi, who was embarrassed. Kangxi is also very clever. He understood at a glance and wrote "Yunlin Temple" on the paper. When the old monk saw that the emperor had changed the name of the temple, he dared not say anything, so he hung up the big plaque of Yunlin Temple.

Although the emperor changed Lingyin Temple into Yunlin Temple, the people refused to admit it and always called it Lingyin Temple. So Kangxi's name change became a joke.

Below this big plaque, there is a plaque that says "vultures are coming", and there are couplets on the pillars on both sides: "When the peak or mountain comes again, you sit at the gate and wait. ; The spring water is getting warmer and warmer, and it is greeted with a smile. " This couplet was written by Zhang Zaiyang, the governor of Zhejiang before the Republic of China. Personally, I think it is very standard to write this couplet with Feilaifeng, Cold Spring and Maitreya Buddha. In Zen, people think that we should have hope for everything in the world. As long as we persist, hope will come true.

After passing Lingyin Temple, I walked for a long time and came to a fork in the road. On one side, it says to yongfu temple, and on the other side, it says to Daoguang Temple.

Under yongfu temple, it is written that in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wise men started mountains, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the royal Dojo was blessed with good deeds, and Qiantang was the first blessed place, with a panoramic view of lakes, mountains and scenery-literati of past dynasties boarded the land of longing. Under Taoguang Temple, it is written that Taoguang Zen Master started the mountain in the Tang Dynasty, the place where real people cultivate immortality and protect the law, and the earliest tea culture monument in Hangzhou, just looking at the sea-one of the 18 scenic spots of the West Lake in the Qing Dynasty. Haha, the first name is louder than the last one.

Go to yongfu temple first. Go in through a small door that says Brahma Buddha country. The stone mountain road with the same color passes through a small gate called Futian Huayu, which is another stone mountain road with the same color, and only reaches the gate that says yongfu temple.

The entrance is a little square, and there is a wall with the words "Hundred blessings and solemnity" written on it. Turning the corner, I passed a small door that said "Qiantang is the first blessed place". I went up, up, and up again, so tired that I was covered in sweat. I sat by the stone steps and rested countless times, and finally saw several temples halfway up the mountain.

It is said to be a Buddhist temple, but there are neither monks nor pilgrims. Looking around, through the trees, it seems that you can see the water surface of the West Lake in the distance.

This is all about yongfu temple. One of the biggest feelings is to see a wooden sign standing on the road: "Indifference and peace are the real taste of life." Is it a Zen machine for harvesting? Indifferent indifferent, I think I am indifferent enough, but I may have to strengthen my homework in this aspect.

After coming down from yongfu temple, I actually set foot on the path of Daoguang Temple again.

All the way up is still climbing the stone steps, stop and go, and arrive at a stone pavilion called "Taoguang Path".

Tired to death. It doesn't matter how you rest. Want to drink water, no, I drank some water in the restaurant at noon. Climbing yongfu temple just now, I sweated so much, and my body would have been short of water. I left my teacup at the Youth Travel Service this morning, and I didn't say I would buy another one. Hey!

I want to stop going down the mountain, but I'm not reconciled. I'm halfway up. Courage up and go!

After climbing for a long time, I saw a short white wall with a small door with the words Daoguang Temple written on it.

There is a fork in the road next to this small door, and there is a fence on the side of the road, which is guarded by people. Look at this sign. This fork road leads to the cableway station at the top of Beifeng Mountain. If you want to pass this gate, you need to buy a ticket for 70 yuan, that is, a ropeway ticket.

Seeing someone coming from this gate, I asked, it's 100 meters from here to Beifeng cableway station, all of which are climbing roads.

Oh, I'd better go around Taoguang Temple and get better.

There is a pool in the temple, and the word Jinlianchi is written on the wall of the pool. This, it should be a monument. The rest, such as Daxiong Hall, Guan Hai Building and Daoguang Ancestral Hall, are all newly built. Like yongfu temple, there are neither monks nor pilgrims here. Through the shade of green trees, you can also see the West Lake in the distance. This is the so-called eighteen sights of the West Lake in Qing Dynasty, so let's keep a low profile and look at the sea.

I think of the poem Lingyin Temple written by the Tang Dynasty poet Song, which contains a few words: "The building looks at the sea and the sea, and the door faces the tide in Zhejiang. Guizi falls in the moon, and the sky is floating outside the clouds. " Personally, this is the best sentence written in Lingyin Temple in past dynasties. However, the great poet of the Song Dynasty can exaggerate too much. Climbing the mountain to see the West Lake is still hazy. Standing on the upper floor of Lingyin Temple, you can see the sunset in the sea and the tides in Zhejiang. That's ridiculous!

Go back down the mountain Pass by the Cold Spring Pavilion and Feilai Peak. I think of Wang Anshi's "Climbing Feilai Peak": Feilai Peak is on Chihiro Tower, and it is said that chickens crow. Don't be afraid of clouds covering your eyes, you are at the highest level. My heart moved and I climbed the stone steps of Feilaifeng again.

? Feilai Peak is much better to climb than the mountain roads in yongfu temple and Daoguang Temple. Through the trees and vines covered with roads, I finally reached the top of the mountain covered with rocks. Besides rocks, the top of the mountain is littered with trees and Chihiro Pagoda? No, there are trees all around. I can't see the surrounding scenery if I want to see it. Only on a stone, I saw four words written in red paint, Feilaifeng. Ha ha. Silent.

When I went down the mountain, I thought, Feilai Peak and Thousand Towers. Is it the Gong Li Tower under Feilai Peak? On Feilai Peak, under Feilai Peak, Chihiro Tower, is this too much?

Look at it's still early, and go around Feilai Peak to see the Buddha statues on the rock wall. There is a smiling and shirtless statue of Maitreya Buddha, which is said to be the largest statue of Feilai Peak. There are eighteen arhats around this Maitreya Buddha. This is the representative work of Buddha statue art in Song Dynasty.

The first thing to do when leaving the scenic spot is to buy water. Nongfu Spring, five yuan.

I am full, just in time for the bus to come. Get on the bus and go to hangzhou east railway station. You can take any bus.

Target: Jiashan, Xitang.
