Prose in search of a pure land

All winter, everyone is busy dealing with the sudden extreme cold weather. Prevention, vigil, and bus life have become compact and seem to be lacking.

It is said that the hot springs in Longwan, Xing Zi, Jiujiang are good, which can relieve nervous nerves in time. So the mighty twelve-member team set off for the planetesimals in Jiujiang. Accompanied by Xiong Changmei, Wei Wen, Wan, Huang, Dai Ainan, Yan Huang, Deng Guofang, Xu Renwu, Tian Xiaohai.

And I, empty-handed. This winter, I am like a bird trapped in a cage, looking helpless and at a loss. The vehicle stopped at Lushan service area for a short time. When I got off the bus, I felt the air was fresh, so I took a deep breath, which was very effective in healing and reducing the burden. It's just that the plastic peach blossom in front of the service area is freehand, which makes people seem to have entered spring. Then take off the baggage, stretch, stand in front of the flowers and show off, euphemistically called "taking photos with spring"

At the first stop, we came to the Lindong Giant Buddha Buddhist Cultural Tourist Area in Xing Zi County. It is said that there is a 48-meter-high bronze statue of Amitabha in the world. In fact, this Buddha statue is faintly visible in the coming cars. We walked along the winding concrete pavement, surrounded by bamboo, temples and bluestone roads, all of which put us in a quiet world. Perhaps because of the lack of exercise, the relatively high mountain road makes us breathless. Huang simply took Dai Ainan's hand and walked slowly with heavy steps, or simply pushed the person in front of him forward alone.

On the contrary, an old grandmother who traveled with me looked full of energy and talked to me about the Buddha statue. It is understood that the Lindong Giant Buddha is surrounded by mountains in the north and connected by mountains and rivers. It is a pure land integrating pilgrimage, practice, Buddhism, education, charity and security. I asked, what does the Buddha mean when his right hand is down and his hand is flapping outward? She replied, meaning welcome, welcome our devout believers. I asked again, how about holding the lotus in your left hand? She replied that this is a tool to take us to the western extreme eastern world. Grandma saw my sincerity and said, this amitabha is good, it can eliminate disasters and save people. After that, she kept chanting "Amitabha". I have been thinking about "bliss", and I smiled at her serious appearance. I always thought she was superstitious. Grandma immediately became cautious and said, "Really." But at this moment, a busybody said: Is there any real gold in that bronze statue? If it's real gold, why hasn't it been stolen? I smiled and grandma was a little angry. Then she whispered close to my ear, "Sincerity is spirit, sincerity is spirit!" " Ignore what others say, just don't laugh. "Looking at grandma's serious appearance, I also restrained my smile and got serious.

When I was near the Buddha statue, I realized my smallness, and I remembered my grandmother's piety. I looked at her and saw her hands folded and mumbling to the Buddha. At this moment, I think grandma is right. When I left, I looked back at some mysterious, compassionate and solemn Buddha statues and thought, "Where is my paradise?" Turning and looking into the distance, with the ups and downs of the stairs, I began to have a bird's eye view. The mountains, rivers and buildings of the whole world are all in suspended clouds, like a veiled dream. I wondered without thinking, what year is tonight? For a long time, I looked back at the gilded bronze statue and thought, "You are the bliss in my heart!" " "

Then we went down the mountain and came to the parking lot. Everything seems to be back to the beginning, and a wide road goes straight south, with heavy traffic. Before driving away, I subconsciously looked up at the Buddha statue again. Only at this time, the angle of view is not good, and the bronze statue is blocked by weeds on the mountain, showing only a kind smile. So, I am deeply touched, which has profound meaning. No wonder Xin Qiji was able to write a wonderful life of "looking for him in the crowd for thousands of Baidu, and suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light".

Longquan Bay is different. Springs everywhere are exposed by mountains. In the past, we all followed the rules and dressed neatly to deal with matchbox buses, but today we play with everyone in the spring with bare arms. Everything has changed, fresh and delicious. Everyone began to laugh and talk about who is strong and fat, and who has big breasts and thighs. To put it simply, a colleague took out his mobile phone to take a sneak shot, which led to the shyness and excitement of women. When you calm down, lie prone in the water, or lie on your back in the water, showing only your nostrils, then forget the world of mortals, close your eyes and dream a life dream. However, what was taken away in an instant was the mountain, the water or the bronze statue, all hiding in the white clouds and pale dogs.

After playing all day, we were tired, so we packed our bags and went home. On the drive back to Nanchang, the bronze statue of Amitabha in Nanwu still stands, but it is drifting away from us. I looked in its direction, learned grandma's posture, folded my hands and recited "Amitabha" in my heart.

In fact, the pure land in my heart is the western bliss!
