Roof, a small county in central Zhejiang Province, as a Buddhist Tiantai out of here and is known for. OK ago I was right all the knowledge in this area there is an ancient Buddhist temple Kokuseiji only. Think about it, there are ancient temple Department will certainly quiet, secluded derived Office owned forest, there are the mountains into a scenic Department since. If do not care about the 4-hour bus journey back and forth, has no intention of staying as a guest of the simple critical Monastery and vegetarian light, occasionally visit in a naturally will not be disappointed.

Has never been so close to the lives of monks, the temple has never been so quiet reside, has never been so sit listening to Drum and bell; from the monastery has not been thought of as home. With respect to the feelings of the country-ching, an ancient temple pre-dating back to the Sui Dynasty , take the time, it was like a farewell to the garden for years, a simple meal in the canteen. All this, if there is no opportunity to stay overnight at the temple, how could have to face a possibility. come to this Buddhist treasure, of course, Hsu can not help but hope that some of the adventures of the utilitarian heart, I'll wait for about ordinary people will have unrealistic fantasies and Xiqiu. However, until the departure time, occasionally subtle aftertaste the night Office, but feel that the life of a few point of rare. is in this peaceful temple, the board heard a long absence, Mulou footsteps them altogether, the corridor, as if there is a call of childhood partners. also in the serenity of the monastery, see the white hair Haoshou old cook, was smiling to lean on the door, Ceshou asked if we come from; Subsequently, the 88-year-old old man happily sit down and tell the story of the temple, and his own 17-year-old story of living in Shanghai . Of course, at night, under the abbot's house to listen to their prayers, in the Main Hall on the stone bench outside the stars, reception room, and shy little monks outside the chat, but also the case in common, but it is rarely seek city office.

Yuantong Temple in Kunming, the thought of a pair of couplets: tsugae Shadow Lane who do not report the Buddha's heart, the Zhongqing sound as you go to find their Zen.

Although no reported求佛from the Buddha's heart was true, but usually overnight, but it is a lot of self-seeking Zen Tim opportunities. I have almost thought of "sentiment life" catchphrase has.

Through this extraordinary night, the monastery's new day, from early morning 4:00 to begin. And breakfast in 6:00 on the closing down entirely. We go out at seven, from Kokuseiji one-hour ride along mountain roads to reach the best scenery is said to be here shiliang Waterfall. said to be waterfalls, that is, there are several paragraphs just splashing rapids. Zashu rocks, but both sides are intertwined, there are bamboo into the film, during which the temple is located a few simple, but I think this place is Kiyonaga have meaning. very few monks here, but it is unusual easygoing, very willing to take the initiative and we say a few words, and accompanied by continuous waterfalls water ring, pointing out where the burning incense, where the Buddha and the temple The candles are also open-shelf on-demand, everything from simple. I am willing to believe the monks here are very Aura, in the more casual show for their intrinsic and repair itself. from the beams out to fill bellies. you can along the winding mountain road always look at the scenery on foot. here, though not beautiful mountain, it is also melancholy gray, brightened up a bit inside Autumn leaves; also occasionally a small waterfall reservoir, the way the scenery is still able to attract backpackers who walk after this, two of the Shiji Li Kokuseiji to reach the foot of the mountain. But we have just worked up the courage to go a few kilometers to go, there are well-meaning greeting us on the passing of their car, hey, gave himself an excuse for lazy, but if one is doing good for others the opportunity to ah.
