Chengdu incense most prosperous of the two temples, one is located in the city Wenshu Yuan, one is located in the northeast city of Zhaojue Si, and heard in the most prosperous time of pilgrimage, incense to prevent fires caused by the need to dispatch fire trucks with the fire hose to extinguish incense, its thriving scene, is understandable.
Shame that, as a Chengdu people, due to lack of interest in Buddhism, but I have not been to. Until a few days ago, read an online "Buddha crack," the article, not just for Zhao Juesi of the Buddha had to go take a look at the idea.
To Zhaojue Si is very convenient, it's next to Zhao Juesi the city's bus station and coach station. Out of the car, a little walk two steps, brick Huangwa be presented in front of the temple.
Into the temple to burn incense without any tickets or money (the temple of their own religion, seems to appeal to quite confident), into the gate, head of the picture is not as I imagined towering old trees, palaces out of the temple down. The narrow courtyard is an ordinary garden layout, not thick not thin trees planted with flowers, the garden is the tea and lay the right floor, the slightest smell the atmosphere of the temple. I restrain live down, and with the people to move on.
Walk double courtyard (Ocean Hall seems to be something like the bar, Dianmen neither open, I see no interest in Qutan), came to the hall, that is, Main Hall. Sure enough here to show style. Imposing basilica located in the story platform above the Hall of Supreme Harmony is like the weather. Front of the hall surrounded by a five-bodhi tree, arms open wide, in the majestic Buddha out of a shelter Purdue creatures of the kind.
I came at a time when the time for evening classes, hall had already been started chanting Muyu symphony accompaniment. Stood outside the hall looked to the inside, not particularly spacious hall had already been jammed with dense mass of people chanting, Youshou side is the Temple of the monks who wore them that the eyes, knocked Muyu especially focused young cantor , the other to look around some of the old monk who, absent-minded, and it purports to roll even after the overripe and the public would like the laity, lost the enthusiasm to continue the study of the. Left standing is the Buddhist devotees lay disciples, older women in the majority, a quiet young woman looks after both hands and roll, and got very concentrate, seems to have just converted to Buddhism soon why she would be Buddhist devotees it? Will he shaved his head for Nepal?
Cranky for a while before an looked up and surveyed the whole hall.
Hall's layout and furnishings with a typical temple, there is no difference (in fact, I do not understand what kind of arrangement should be), the only difference is probably sitting in the front is a statue of the Buddha Nijin 3. Buddha looked at, I immediately thought of "Buddha crack" article mentioned the story and would like to see if it really such a thing happened in the hall door from left to right, from right to left to walk several times, really can not see that traces of statues have been patched. It seems either very old, the original Buddha no longer exists, or is that story is fabricated.
A loud voice began to chant together, and I hear from a self-assured and even rhythm. Why can conquer the mass of religion? I also began to have a little bit of feeling. The way into the Temple has been walking in front of me a young boy wearing the cassock, is the Buddha bowed to the master, and, confessing his sin, the reason appears to be late. Really did not expect to begin to see that he is completely a city boy's dress, and even a little bit Kazakhstan Korea's temperament is also a Buddhist actually human!
Out of the hall, I sat down Unter den Linden. Muyu sound and chanting suddenly become rapid, it seems that what is necessary to seize the hearts of like, but could not find grasp things, inexplicable mood of anxiety produced, with the rapid tapping of the wooden fish, I am also started feeling that some of restlessness, feeling heart Dongdong to jump. In a while, that seemed to settle down, you can re-sit to distinguish what the contents of the texts (though I only listen to them is the "South no Buddha"). Tingzhuotingzhao, somehow, a hint of sadness but rise in my heart, mind reveals Buddhahood dying scene, do not feel sad, but feel despair and sadness.
I stood up in the sunset of the mapping, the left Zhaojue Si.
