Recently, I chatted with my friends and felt that I listened to religion a little more. I'm interested in finding some temples. The niujie Mosque and Fayuan Temple I just went to are in the south of Beijing, the original Xuanwu District, and now I am going to Xicheng District, near Caishikou. The slip is just right.
Niujie
I've heard of it before, and I've also seen the queuing momentum of online celebrity stores such as Jubaoyuan. When you are tired, don't think about it. I turned around and searched for a purchase on Taobao. I don't want to buy it I just saw the picture and had an eye addiction. I feel very satisfied.
I find that watching food programs is more suitable for me than eating food by myself. Insomnia, bad state I watched the video of "Piglets Can Eat" before going to bed, but I was able to calm down slowly and sleep soundly. Poisoning in the middle of the night to get back at society has no effect on me at all.
What impressed niujie most was the residential buildings. It's just an ordinary board building, but it's much more pleasing to the eye with a green hook edge. Of course, it also means respecting teachings and making buildings more beautiful and Islamic.
Mosques are closed for maintenance. I just looked at the door and took a picture.
Even if I open the door, as a non-believer, I may not be able to go in and see it, and I have forgotten where I have seen a mosque where girls are not allowed to enter. Girls have a special monastery to worship. I don't know if it's the same in China? I searched some internal pictures from the internet. Let's have a look.
In niujie, in the mosque, a little uncomfortable. I thought about it, it should be the result of strangeness and distance. what can I say? In religious places, it is obvious that they are not with me.
I don't care about respect or fear. The more I look at these scenes, the more I look up the information, the more I understand their culture, and the more I feel that they are so different from me. I should never be like them. This combination of emotions will make me feel uncomfortable.
There is a big screen wall at the entrance of the mosque, which is about 40 meters long. It is said that this place is full of folk houses, surrounded by mosques and zhaobi. Later, it was cleaned up, and now it has been built into a wide road, leaving only the wall. This is a tradition in China. Blocking the front door with a wall should mean good luck and good feng shui. The gate of the mosque faces west, saying it is in the direction of the holy city of Mecca.
Fayuansi
Fayuan Temple is a place with stories.
In the "shame of Jingkang" at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin people attacked the Song Dynasty on a large scale. Besides plundering a lot of gold, silver and jewels, they also exiled Song Huizong and Qin Zong to Peking, where they were imprisoned and humiliated for several months.
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Xie Fangde of the Southern Song Dynasty failed to resist the Yuan Dynasty, and was also held here until he died of hunger strike.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen listened to other people's slanders and was trapped by a double agent. Yuan Chonghuan, a great soldier, died unjustly. His men risked their lives to steal his head and sent it to Fayuan Temple to turn over.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, after Tan Sitong, one of the six gentlemen in the Reform Movement of 1898, failed to reform, his coffin was stained with blood and stopped at Fayuan Temple ... The tragic history made people cry.
I have heard of Li Ao's work Fayuan Temple in Beijing, which was later adapted into a play of the same name and received rave reviews. I read it online.
This temple has a history of thousands of years and is called "a Fayuan Temple, half the history of China". Therefore, Li Ao's story of the Reform Movement of 1898, starting from this temple, vividly depicts Tan Sitong and other figures, which is very insightful and capable.
Fayuan Temple gives me a regular feeling and pays more attention to the transmission of Buddhist spirit, which is inseparable from its being a Buddhist college. I also took a photo, which is another publicity column inside. Some sentences with bosom friends feel that they can be used in the articles of WeChat official account, hehe.
From this, we can see the common way of thinking in Buddhism: before you want to get better, you have to ask yourself if your heart is good.
It's winter, the air is not very good, and it's not the tourist season. There are not many stories in Renye Fang, just a clean walking route. I feel very comfortable after transfer. Go home.
