Guide reading

As a believer, I often live and study in monasteries, and write what I see, hear and feel fairly for your reference (as a layman with five precepts, I don't talk nonsense, I believe in cause and effect, so please visit and study in monasteries and experience it for yourself).

Brief introduction of Dabei ancient temple

Dabei Ancient Temple is located in Tangwangshan, Mao Qi Town, Haicheng City, Liaoning Province. According to historical records, it was an ancient temple built by Li Shimin, King of the Tang Dynasty, during his crusade, with a history of 1000 years. Throughout the ages, it has been known as "Putuo Mountain beyond the Great Wall". After several generations of repair and preservation, the last repair was in the late Qing Dynasty. It was damaged during the Cultural Revolution and later built by local laymen.

Dabei Ancient Temple is a pure land practice Dojo and a Buddhist education school. The purpose of the temple is: "regard nature as religion;" Based on precepts; Return to the pure land; Learn to be a man first, love the country, love the party and love teaching. " On weekdays, the main task is to recite the Buddha's name, plus chanting, listening to the scriptures and going out of the slope. I will strictly abide by the eight-sentence outline of Master Yin Guang's 13th Pure Land Sect: "Try your best, be honest, do no evil, and pursue perfection. It's really life and death, being a bodhi and holding the Buddha's name deeply. "

Monks manage well.

All monks in Dabei Ancient Temple always adhere to their sad wishes, strictly observe the precepts, and do not climb the mountain or beg for alms. Fellow practitioners who come to the temple for practice are free to eat, live, study and burn incense. The abbot of the temple is Shi Shengcheng, who leads the monks to strictly observe the precepts and negotiates the size of the temple with the temple management committee. Each department is managed by a monk. When I come to the temple at ordinary times, I can always hear the monks next to me enlighten me. After listening to this year's Bodhisattva Wishing Sutra, I deeply believe in cause and effect, believe in the existence of the six divisions of Karma Wheel, and make a vow to be a qualified Buddhist disciple. Occasionally catching up with the first and fifteenth day of junior high school, Tan Jushi will also exchange and learn with you. It is mainly to remind fellow practitioners of the volunteer team to learn Buddhism not to go astray, but to be diligent and tireless!

Unforgettable volunteer life

There are two unforgettable places in the temple, one is the Zhaitang and the other is the nursing home.

The Zhaitang of Dabei Ancient Temple is very large and can accommodate thousands of people. However, so many people spent Lent together, and it was orderly and silent. Volunteers are very busy, and the management of the masters is very standardized, no matter whether they choose vegetables or wash them in the front hall or kitchen. I suggest everyone come and experience it. By the way, the teachers of Dabei Ancient Temple are very kind. No matter when you arrive, you have food, three meals a day, and you can choose morning and evening. As long as the masters don't eat after noon, we don't have to be afraid of being hungry. . .

There are about 50-60 elderly people in the nursing home, coming from all directions. Some of them are lonely old people, and some are the parents of monks in the temple. They are happy to be vegetarian and recite Buddha here, so that the masters can do things with peace of mind, spread the dharma and benefit their lives, and solve their worries!

Buddhism attaches great importance to teachers' morality and filial piety. More than 30 volunteers who came to Guan Ai Hospital are studying China traditional culture and Buddhism. It is very important to learn the education of saints, from taking care of the daily life and diet of the elderly to learning and practicing the rules of disciples. The director of the nursing home and the volunteers are of one mind and one mind. Choose different ways and means according to different needs of different people. Wash the old people's feet, wash their hair, get a haircut, cut their nails, take a one-on-one bath with the old people, organize the old people to go out in the sun, do whatever they can when the weather is fine, and so on. Feel their feelings with sympathy and equality, and care for and protect them according to their needs. The old man spent his old age in this happy big family, and became a Buddha!

Compassion-oriented, easy to accept quotations.

Dabei Ancient Temple is the seat of Haicheng Buddhist Association, and often holds lectures and publicity and learning activities on some national laws and regulations. In recent years, Dabei Ancient Temple and Haicheng Buddhist Association have responded to the call of the Party, carried forward the purpose of Buddhism's compassion, helped many homeless people every year, solved the living problems of local poor people, and alleviated many difficulties for the government. At the same time, I also saw many poor people. They lived in despair, and some people were suffering from diseases. The hospital declared them hopeless and sought death. Some people are poor and homeless; Some children are rebellious, run away from home, parents are anxious and so on. They come to the temple to find their own problems and answers to life, and get rid of them by learning to be a man and the patient guidance of Master, so that the family can be complete. Everyone is grateful for this pure land, because they gathered here from all directions and came here with different problems, creating one miracle after another.

Don't want money, don't want things, as long as all beings can realize.

Nowadays, Buddhism is gradually flourishing. Now almost every big city in China has many large temples, including many scenic spots. Every important festival, many people will burn incense and worship Buddha. However, with the commercialization of scenic spots in China, although many temples have become more luxurious, the commercial atmosphere is very strong. Not only do they collect tickets, but many of them often need a lot of money to burn incense and pray for a sign. A temple that doesn't charge money like Dabei Ancient Temple is rare in the world. The key is to listen to Master's teachings here, understand what Buddhism is, stop being superstitious, ask God for divination, return home to the society after learning, and know how to be a good person.

Advise the public, believe in cause and effect, be good at nursing, don't listen to and transmit information that has not been investigated and verified, keep the network clean, and be a qualified Buddhist disciple.

The abbot, Master, took everyone to a release ceremony.
