I don’t know what’s going on these past few days. My ankle has been hurting a lot. No medicine or anything has any effect. I’ve been staying at home for a few days and decided to go out for a walk. I went to a nearby hotel. Burning incense and worshiping the Buddha at Nanputuo Temple, sometimes I feel a little comfort in my heart, and it seems that the physical pain is not that serious. ?
While waiting for the bus at the bus stop, the person soliciting customers said that it is better to go to the Buddha in the morning rather than in the afternoon. I said that I often go to the temple in the afternoon and I didn’t think there was anything wrong. Sincerity works well. , Master Hsing Yun is not saying that as long as you respect the Buddha in your heart, any time is the best time.
When we arrived at Nanputuo Temple, facing the south gate of Xiamen University, there was a lotus pond and two pagodas standing majestically. The feng shui was excellent. The shapes of temples in the south are indeed much more elaborate, complex and detailed than those in the north. Both the color and the cornices and brackets are very characteristic of the south.
Nanputuo Temple is the dojo of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, so in addition to the main hall of the Main Hall, there is a Great Compassion Hall at the back dedicated to the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
While staying at the Great Compassion Hall, a little girl of five or six years old ran over and shouted excitedly to her little sisters, "Come and look, there is a man with many hands here. There is a person with many hands!?
I couldn’t help but kindly told her that this was not a human being, but a Bodhisattva.
She asked innocently, what is a Bodhisattva?
I said, a Bodhisattva is someone who can help many people.
She asked again, why does he have so many hands?
I explained to her patiently, because the Bodhisattva has to help many people, and he has many hands, so he can help many people. Lots of people.
After hearing this, she looked at the Bodhisattva blankly and pondered for a while, as if she was thinking about something. Then she looked at each other and smiled at her little sister, and ran away shyly.
The two plaques on the left and right in front of the Great Compassion Hall describe the essence of Buddhism.
The cornices and brackets with southern characteristics are brightly colored and vividly unique in shape. ?
Behind Nanputuo Temple is Wulaofeng. Although the mountain is not high, it is winding and winding. There are many cool streams and small waterfalls, and there are many cliffs from the past on the rocks. Stone carving. ?
On the big rock, you can overlook the vastness of _ and even see the sea of ??__.
This is the first time I saw such an elegant temple clean room.
The animals in the temple are very spiritual and kind, as if they were inspired by the Buddha.
This big rooster is strolling in the tree in front of the temple. No matter how tourists come close to take pictures or even stroke it, they will not be frightened or aggressive.
The kitten was taking a nap in front of the Great Compassion Hall. It seemed like he was dreaming. His hands and feet were twitching and trembling in the middle of his sleep. It was so funny.
There are various water birds, turtles, turtles and goldfish in the lotus pond in front of the temple. The little turtle is relaxed, swimming into the water for a while, and enjoying the coolness on the lotus leaf for a while
Compared with the stork, the egret is more diligent in catching fish?
The egret looks good when it spreads its wings and flies. Sorry, I couldn’t capture it?
I unexpectedly saw two pigeons courting each other. The one in the flower was just a male. It puffed up its feathers and made a strange sound in its throat. It kept chasing the female. He kept spinning in front of him, but the female didn't pay attention to him?
Less than 10 minutes later, another white male pigeon flew over. There was no hope of victory for Hua, and he was depressed. Fly away?
I really admire my patience. Did I stand there for about ten or 20 minutes, or did I not wait for the female pigeon to accept the courtship of any male pigeon?
< p> Recently, I like to stay in the temple more and more. It is quiet and quiet. Listening to the Great Compassion Mantra in my ears, my whole body will slowly sink. My soul also seems to be washed. Every time I come out of the temple, I feel that my body I felt a lot more relaxed. Later I thought about it, it’s not our bodies that feel relaxed, but our hearts.
