Since the September 12 phone lines were strong winds blow Bay Hill Extension Road Project bombardment cut, the outside world had been severed, they start to look hard at the information, read a few days, not feel some tedious and boring, just this day our good friend, Danba strange man - Guo-Hua Zeng see me. He has just complete a roof of his house, the sky a plan had several East Valley called the "Top Pot Mountain" walk the hills, where there is a temple, these days are still studying in great classics, invited to join me, This is exactly what I play into the hands, then immediately start the afternoon of agreement on the 20th.
Prior to the mountains, nature must first do some homework. First, the East Valley area of the map to enlarge a print, but the above are not "Top Pot Mountain," this place, and then asked Guo-Hua Zeng, before we know near the village in East Malaysia. Also check on the temples County chapter, only temple in the temple to see a list of the Department of Bon monasteries, built in 1841, the existing Lama 12, 1987 open, the other, nothing I do not know.
20, afternoon, Old Lee drove me and Guo-Hua Zeng sent Danba county 40 kilometers away from the village of East Malaysia. As is still early days, the East Valley is a green, combined with the weather hot, a little feeling of autumn are not, dry out and die along the way saw large amounts of corn, but I still confident in our destination, because I I believe the old has vision, but also know that usually do not have some cave heavens and the mountains are the. 8 Dan a basic Puwan asphalt road, while on the road there are many projects, but they have no effect on the right road, 40 kilometers down the road an hour to go. At this rate calculation, two hours to eight the U.S. are no problem.
A bridge to the village of East Malaysia, is about to see a 50-year-old aunt came from the bridge side, she saw the old one once they cried: "Uncle, how do you overwhelming." Grabbed his backpack spoke Tatema , took us to her house. This band is the original home of relatives and old Mrs. Tsen, so we come to this should be room and board do not have to worry. Danba get people very warm and hospitable people, not to mention the old, and they still have relatives, one entered the room to send candy, followed went to tea, I also took the opportunity to visit the inside of the house, though very simple, but very large. Aunt while tea, they informed me that they are very poor people of this area, there is no good things to entertain me. The fact that I certainly would not mind, but they can continue to commend the economy is under difficult circumstances since such a large house, in Guangzhou, one of the 20 million are not so multi-room villas. Magloire said repair the house from top to bottom thanks to the help of the village, apart from masons is to spend money, other than in the other man did not spend a penny. Is said that this, tea, cooked, and then aunt to cook for us again, as we have repeatedly put off the next, but also for us a lot of baked potatoes, we were both fed into the belly full of it let us go.
Up the hill there are two ways one is a road, good to go, but distant; the other one is the trail, basically along the steep cliff climb, that is, can "straight" on the Peak. We are two big men, of course, is to take the more difficult way to go, so we went straight to this path. Out of the village, over a single-plank bridge on to the foot of the mountains to see an elevation table showing the 2720 meters. Erhuamoshuo along the steep mountain climb. Although the old age than I had over 20 years old, but used to running in the mountains, carrying a backpack weighing tens of pounds still vigorous step like flying, I started still followed, but come to the stage 20 minutes to two legs on the hair soft, stomach began to hurt, had applied for a rest to the old. I have not the first time and old come together to play and he was very clear that I just can not eat anything after vigorous exercise, and he always as a joke me and said that they Montagnards and my opposite, working the former must eat -fed and fed, otherwise no effort. No matter how he said I was, I still eat it or walk, in Danba spent a few months, a little improvement at all. Fortunately, the surrounding scenery is very beautiful, and rest time can be used to concentrate fully appreciate the scenery, but I still did not move my camera, I know, the scenery of the mountains have a better waiting for me.
After a Mid-levels, the road is not so steep, my gas is also Huanguo Lai, one hour later, we reached the summit, where the altitude is 3120 meters, 400 meters and the foot just poor, but also not too slow. The Peak is a large lawn surrounded by planted with pines and white birch, in the backdrop of blue sky and clouds, and the feeling of connections with the outside is no different. Only the 400-meter elevation difference, change is so great that a typical mountain or valley scenery, the Peak is completely alpine meadow, change so much, even reaching the top of the mountain 10 meters yet to be seen . This is no longer tempted to take pictures, Li good tripod, drag under the backpack, it was found behind the already soaked, and I did not climb out of Melbourne when such a mountainous hyperhidrosis, we can see today, the weather is really enough hot. I left the immediate scene that every bead of sweat is value, and the sky is my favorite of the vast blue sky with white clouds Jiduo; on the floor is a large meadow brown slightly, there are several cattle and sheep to rest in a very casual with , Shepherd expel the four running hare; a little far away is a large expanse of forest, surrounded by four mountains, meadows exposure to the middle, as if living in a large basin.
The temple in large meadow on the corner of the roof shape from the one to see that this is a Bon temple - white walls and gray tiles roof and the "Swastika" characters. Temple is not, probably can only accommodate 20 people while chanting, is a very common, "village" temples. But the strange is that in the courtyard outside, and the temple is the son of an area almost equal to Tallinn, there were dozens of blocks Baita, there are several that facilitate the integration of the three towers phase; the other side of the temple a huge walnut tree, can be at this altitude of 3,000 meters to see the walnut tree where one wonders, are all alone it was a huge tree in the body is yet another miracle. The result is that the grass, temples, Tallinn and walnut trees on the murder of film I do not know how many.
As the sun Xi Chen, golden light gradually turns red, then turned into dark gray, Wolia before entering the temple. This is the monks who have completed today's homework, are hospital rest, wearing a yellow robe of the Buddha we immediately saw a welcome in the ranks, and we say hello, but what he and the old had had one side of the edge of the situation makes it especially cut . Buddha monk grow is another appearance of the plateau, a round face, dark rosy, with short hair, age about 30 years old, Bangkuoyaoyuan figure and yellow robes, showed his identity. And many people of high status, like a living Buddha mouth becomes a very easy-going, I still want him in the former monk ceremony, he was reaching to shake my hand, I am somewhat unexpected. Greetings after a few words, we let into the living Buddha to the house, also arranged for us men of a lama blocks to eat noodles.
Due to the elder in Danba also have a certain amount of people, I am totally stick to his light, feel that their status suddenly improved a lot to be very high in this treatment, the Living Buddha has been accompanied Wolia talk late into the night, temple of the four (all) Lama accompanied in the side, while Zaba had requested the good night when the living Buddha must be invited to Woliang good night.
After a night of chat, before we know this small temple is not as simple living Buddha himself is a knowledgeable, very capable people.
Buddha Law is called "Dan gradient parameter", is the 39th generation of this temple of the living Buddha, a monk in the Aba county, for others work hard, when in the Aba × × temple of knowledge, when the Buddhist monastery ranks more than 1,200 monks in the first two. Came to this temple in 1988, when it was still a ruin, the Living Buddha to mobilize the masses to personally participate in labor, from the foot of the mountain back stone, mining timber, single-handedly built the present temple. Buddha Weiren very decent, and never to the local people to be anything, monastic life and all the materials needed for the building from the mosque to resolve, for his own farm, his own religious administration rushing. For the Temple outside donations and expenditure accounts of living Buddhas have been done a clear and reasonable. Living Buddha were collected before and after more than 20 monks, train of four monks, respectively, as the temple abbot, presided over Khenpo such posts, and now there are four temple monks, a dozen Zaba, there are a few wander to The monks, incense is also increasingly wang up. The Buddha himself is not idle, and initiate the research and collation of this temple of historical data, has sorted out the top 38 on behalf of the Buddha's life experience, the origin of temples, draw the floor plan of the Temple of the surrounding environment. In addition, the Living Buddha also wisely proposed to stimulate the local economy, tourism development and the temple incense, wrote a scenic spot introduction. In the Living Buddha to know how I engaged in tourism promotion of the following immediately come up with the above information, has introduced me to a familiar way, and allow me to shoot anything inside the monastery, including their big read through the entire process. I have a lot of self-confidence has increased dramatically, in front of Buddha, I no longer need for my shallow knowledge of the Bon inferiority complex, I have a common language with the Living Buddha is not limited to religious issues, we can also talk about tourism, about the history to talk about natural phenomena, or even to talk about modern technology.
When the Living Buddha to the origins of introduced me to this temple later, makes me feel even more miraculous. Lane County had pitiful little bit of information which is completely wrong, the official Chinese name of this mountain should be "top-fruit Mountain", "fruit" and "pot" are homonyms, the origin and the Red Army. This "pro-chung Phuntsok Ling Monastery" has been made history in 2800, that is, back in Melbourne over Kamiyama knowledge of mankind has not yet been existed prior to this temple. The first generation of the Living Buddha to worship the root ga Health to the End of Moore in the mountainous and returned to found a piece of treasure-house, feng shui and this temple to this temple from the ruins will recover from this pro-Zhong Phuntsok Ling Monastery with the Buddha. Dan Buddha make reference than the lower one of the most admired thing the first generation of living Buddha can be found in this place, according to his many years of observation and research, the top fruit Alexander the lawn like a big hand, the palm is the Temple and the pool, while the roots of the temple on hand , the five fingers, like the South. Throughout the Great Lawn to the holy mountains surrounded by eight of which are pro-West, Blue Kamiyama have natural "pro-Zhong (Swastika)" symbol. Sitting in the middle of the lawn at night to see the sky, the sky was octagonal, like sitting in a seat to be like a huge lotus. From a larger perspective, the top-fruit Mountain is like a faucet, the whole mountain range is a dragon body, while the tail has been placed in Kangding. From another direction, the whole mountain range is also more than Melbourne as a dragon, the dragon mountain top fruit angle, "angle" and "fruit" is homophonic. I know that every religion, are very particular about the location of buildings, but did not expect this small mountain top as much fruit so much air of the place, if all this right here for the religious interpretation of the natural terrain, then Temple next to the The tree walnut tree is completely left behind by previous generations of living Buddha miracle. This tree was originally the 16th generation Buddha relic left over after cremation passed away on the long-out, and tree walnut tree will not only be able to survive in this altitude, and annual fruits, walnut red, eating can cure a variety of diseases, the autumn leaves will be the emergence of various patterns.
In the temple two thousand years of history, are basically unknown, in which most people's attention off time was 32 on behalf of the Living Buddha has seen into the Qing dynasty emperor (should be the reign of Emperor Kangxi), supported by the Qing emperor bestowed robes and "above board" plaque. Later, the size of the Jinchuan after the pacification of the Qianlong emperor, he forced the size of the Jinchuan River in the vicinity of all the Bon monasteries proselytism Yellow Sect, pro-Zhong Phuntsok Ling Monastery to be the year alone, these two items and Yuci spared. But unfortunately, the "honorable" tablet was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, while the robes in 1987 (that is, lower than the reference Dan Buddha came to the Temple and one year) by the local villagers to sell where the price of 200 yuan a Nepalese, for Dan no less than the lower participation of efforts to trace the living Buddha.
Another thing to make Dan feel than the lower reference Buddha glorious thing in 1935 after the Red Army march here, when the Living Buddha of the 38th generation of pro-drop parameter calculations a hexagram loyalty, Guaxiang display should support the Red Army, then led the Buddha to help people in the vicinity of East Malaysia the Red Army, and even advocated his disciples and people joined the Red Army, so the Red Army to fight a lot in this war, top-fruit Mountain's "fruit" is the word the meaning of the victory of victories. Now top of the hill has also preserved the fruit of many year's Red Army war fort, Dan gradient parameter Buddha in these war Baonei collected a large number of bullet casings and hand grenades.
Living Buddha of the rest time, orderly and disciplined, although the three of us talked very congenial conversation, shortly before 11:00 pm or the termination of the evening's conversation, arranged for us to rest in the room.
The next morning, is not yet fully light was a wake-up-pass drum, take a look at the table, seven points, would like to Laichuang, but the drum up to half an hour actually. Helpless, only up. Look at days, cloudy, surrounded by the mountains are surrounded by clouds, it seems today, making pro-blue Kamiyama is no loyalty on the pro-chance. So up wandering in the yard, after the drums stopped, looked at two small sub-Zaba climb up the roof of the temple, blowing conch a while, shouting a "slogan" and said what I certainly do not understand. In this way they toss about half an hour the whole monastery all the monks finally started to read large by today's homework.
With the Living Buddha last night to the "gold medal", I can take pictures inside the mosque with impunity, then the theme of this morning, of course, chanting scenes. Big Buddha hall is leading the chanting of monks, where the hierarchy is very strict, the Living Buddha of course done in the middle of the middle two lines underground Pai Tau is a great lama, the following is Zaba, wander outside to the Lama and his party is in the hall with the chanting of some within the pious Tibetans, they can only hide in a corner. In fact, the presence of all of my extraterrestrial varying degrees of curiosity, especially those few small Zaba, but one side of the mouth NIANNIAN has resigned the one hand, turned his head to see me from time to time, only the living Buddha and a few monks also dominated maintained, the temple of light and relatively dark, it took dozens of pictures of everything and not a satisfactory scene, so the lens can only concentrate on the Living Buddhas and lamas. They might choose to read one, one will be another pounding on drums, and so constantly repeated.
This hall small, but as a fully-equipped, the various Buddhist shrines there, there is a very ornate pagoda, which for the 22nd World Day Buddha Man claims Blue pearl ash particles. In the Living Buddhas above the throne of Chairman Mao, as there is one, in the Tibetan areas this phenomenon is not over, although in the eyes of the Tibetans were no less than the position of Chairman Mao, Aqaba.
Has finally come to a break when the Buddha is also like a holiday, as we teach you not wait to strip out the big lawn. Although we have been here yesterday afternoon shot a lot of the film, but the introduction of the Living Buddha, I have a clear lens in the subject, such as large lawn terrain, every son of a tower of origin, as well as the site of the Red Army fought and so on, and even lamas of the retreat of the Department, all without a miss. This may be the inherent advantages of the first visitors, if one day, top-fruit Mountain tourists clouds, when one side is immune to see the Living Buddha, let alone guide the Living Buddha to do.
Today is most unfortunate that the south has always been to open days can not, in the big lawn turning a full circle are never able to shoot pro-blue Kamiyama on the natural pro-loyalty "Swastika" symbol, but since I have made friends with the living Buddha in the future is bound to remind pe, so just do not care, or else next to In addition to chat with the Living Buddha, it has something to do without it.
Back to the Temple, Buddha had to battle his former fort from the Red Army ammunition collected out to us, mostly rifles, bullet casings, there are several off pineapple bombs did not explode. Living Buddha picked up one of the bullet casings to show me, tell me there is the reverse of the pro-loyalty above symbols, I took a look, immediately recognize this fact, Nazi Germany's bullets, the reverse is actually the pro-Nazi symbols loyalty emblem. Buddha knew heel is excited, but also single out a top printed with "1951" year of the sub-casings gave me, do not ask, 50 years certainly makes counterinsurgency warfare used by the War fort, although I can not hide in war verified Castle in the use of these bullets, or Nationalist People's Liberation Army troops, and even may be some small bandits, but I know that historical data on the early 50s with no less in this war.
I used a digital camera to organize these things and the Living Buddha of the data is shot down, making data archiving. Danba has a heavy history and culture, but that is because of the lack of people to study and organize, text and physical data is also very poor, if we order out, China's construction, residential, folklore, and cultural aspects of the history can be improved. Less Danba, which history is incomplete, at least not enough exciting. I knew that I did not have such strength, only Dangdang small errands, and if I have a weak voice can lead to the attention of relevant experts, I'll be satisfied.
After lunch, it began to drizzle, but the pilgrimage up the mountain spirits of people who are not reduced, organized by the Living Buddha, danced to their unique Guozhuang, which is in Danba and I have not seen elsewhere in Ganzi Autonomous Prefecture , the tunes and dance steps are simple, but regardless of the dancers or the audience immersed in the joy.
