"Dang, Dang, Dang ..." The bell of Ji Temple is sonorous, steady, heavy and distant, as if it fell from the sky, and it seems to be leisurely and soothing. The sound goes straight into the heart and knocks into every nerve until it is calm.
The Children's Temple in Shaanxi Huangling National Forest Park was built in the Taihe period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and has a history of 1500 years. There are many grottoes in Zimiao, and the largest existing grottoes is Chaoyang Cave. In the Tang Dynasty, Princess Chaoyang, the daughter of Li Shimin, often came here to burn incense and pray for blessings during her summer vacation in Yuhua Palace, 20 kilometers away from the scenic spot, hence the name. There is a vivid picture of Panlong on the mural of Chaoyang Cave. In ancient times, gold and dragons represented the supreme imperial power, so Ji Temple was a veritable royal temple.
There are three explanations for the origin of the name of Zi 'e Temple: First, the Danxia landform in Zi 'e Temple is extremely magnificent, and the purple-brown sand cliff goes straight into the sky, which is magnificent; Second, from a distance, Jiye Temple is located on the main peak surrounded by five lotus mountains, surrounded by mountains, and the purple gas in the temple is transpiration, which is beautiful; Third, it is said that Princess Chaoyang, nicknamed E Zi, loves to wear purple clothes. The purple clothes left by Princess Chaoyang are the luxuriant wisteria behind the Hall of Great Heroes.
Approaching Zi 'e Mountain, there is still water like a mirror, reflecting the state of green mountains and green waters. A few white geese float leisurely on the clear water in the release pond, and the ripples are looming, adding a little liveliness. Climb up the 44 1 stone steps, and you come to the main entrance of Tianwang Temple, and follow the approaching Buddha sound and enter the main entrance. The four heavenly kings, the wise SHEN WOO, guard the majesty of Buddhism. Maitreya is always smiling and pregnant, which makes the world unbearable.
Walk past the king's temple and enter the courtyard. The morning bell and the evening drum are placed in the east and west corners of the courtyard respectively. Moonlight Bodhisattva protects women's health, and the "great filial piety" and "great wish" of Dizang King Bodhisattva turn good fortune into good fortune. Entering the Hall of the Great Hero, the Buddha statue is lifelike, and the Buddha Sakyamuni is solemn and serious, looking at the bearer with bright eyes. Other Buddha statues hold different instruments, either to save the world or to subdue demons. Wherever I went, Buddhism was boundless, noble and upright, as if I had entered the Buddhist world, far from the secular world, and my body and mind were clear.
Huangling National Forest Park is located in Ziwuling, a branch of Da Qiao Mountains. The famous "ancient expressway"-Qin Zhi Road runs through the north and south. The primeval forest covers the sun, with thousands of peaks competing and beautiful, just like a dragon running through the north and south, with purple in the north and Wu in the south, hence the name Ziwuling.
Qiao Shan is rich in water, soil and trees, which has nurtured people who have lived here for generations. Baiyaogou, located in the north of Xuanyuan Health Valley, is called "Baiyaogou" by local people because there are hundreds of precious Chinese herbal medicines growing in the valley. According to legend, Sun Simiao, the drug king, often comes here to collect medicinal materials. With dense forests, humid climate and beautiful environment, it is a natural health treasure.
The geographical location of Zie Temple in the south is excellent, with Qinglong Mountain on the left, Baihuding on the right, Suzaku Creek in front and Xuanwu Cliff behind. It is said that "the green dragon and the white tiger are in all directions, and the Suzaku Xuanwu is in harmony with Yin and Yang", which is praised by famous geomantic masters as an excellent geomantic shrine for the integration of heaven and man.
In the Hall of Ursa Major, a prayer and chanting ceremony is going on. Zi 'e Temple has a long history. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, when Buddhism was prevalent, incense was extremely prosperous, and people enjoyed worship in all directions to ensure the safety of the people. Health valley is full of gas field, integrating health, mind and nature. Shi Yuan, a Buddhist master from Hengshan Mountain in Yulin, came here to lead his disciples to hold a grand blessing ceremony at Ziya Temple.
A layman has to attend every class for several hours. When chanting Buddha is like running water, you will naturally gain something by putting yourself into it. The blessing ceremony attracted many believers around to chant Buddhist scriptures and worship Buddha. Pray for all beings to listen and think more, get rid of their troubles and purify their body and mind. The Sanskrit Buddhist sound from the Hall of the Great Hero soothes inner impetuousness, and all practice is to cultivate the mind.
Summer is thick and flowers are blooming. Strolling in the holy land of Ziye, there are many flowers, one after another Gesang flowers are far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, isolated from the world, and bloom in Ziye Temple with the sound of bells and drums and Sanskrit in the morning. During the break, I sat under the tree, looking up at the blue sky, white clouds, free winds and cheerful birds ..... I listened attentively, and the voice of monks chanting was faintly heard in the temple not far away. In a trance, it turned out to be a fleeting time of a flower and a world, a leaf and a bodhi.
