Boundless sea of bitterness repent and be saved
At 5:15 on July 20 by train to reach Dali. 8:30 with the tour group travel by cruise ship, No. Rhododendron Lake Erhai. Rhododendron is a large number of cruise ship cruise ship, there are four and can carry 1,200 people. In the cruise ship, we watched the Bai ethnic song and dance performances, taste the flavor of three of the Bai tea, but also ashore, toured the island of Nan Zhao style. The afternoon bus to Dali,洋人街, stone hut, but also take the cable car to the 3,000-meter-high Cangshan clear bixi. Unfortunately, did not go to Three Pagodas.
Dali is a beautiful city, also known as Shimonoseki, according to Cangshan built, surface Erhai door. "Shimonoseki wind, the closed flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai month" has long been known, "romantic" is a synonym for Dali. Dali Bai minority is the most important, Bai girl hat head on by a romantic composition of colors and patterns. Bai dignified and elegant beautiful girl, people are affectionately called them Golden Flower. Our tour guide is a Bai girl, we called her Jin-Hua Duan.
Dali gave us the impression is not bad, but there is a place, gave our cast a shadow over the heart.
The afternoon, we went to stone hut. Oishi, also known as Goddess of Mercy Temple Church, is Cangshan at the foot of a temple. The temple is quite distinctive, golden yellow glazed tiles, scarlet door, "myohyang ancient first temple," the horizontal line, giving a majestic sacred feeling. Hillside temple is built, a further up into the highest in Main Hall, from the door to see into, but also deep and high, people feel profound yet mysterious.
A 30-year-old monk to us as guides. According to his own statement, was abbot of a friend, abbot of the specially invited to explain to tourists.
This monk voice loud and clear, articulate well, an area that we entered into a go to Buddhist teachings, Buddhist knowledge and articulate. We are all explained by this lively attraction Jinjindegen him, listened with relish. He said that this temple has a statue of Granny is the incarnation of Guanyin, which is unique at home and abroad. It is said that a massive attack on the Qing Yunnan, the Goddess of Mercy in order to avoid loss of life, in order to save people, has become an unparalleled force big old woman, and defeated the Qing and forced the Qing retreat. Grateful to the people of Guanyin, life-saving grace, just as here, the embodiment of plastic of a Goddess of Mercy - Granny. Therefore, this stone also known as Goddess of Mercy Temple Church. Goddess of Mercy mercy mercy so that we are very touched by the story. He also talked about a number of Buddhist philosophy: benevolence, Jide good deeds and so on.
Indeed, we deeply admire the learned monk, in his inspired, our "Buddhist concept of" With a larger lack of progress on the Buddha and the Goddess of Mercy, we are filled with pious respect.
If, to visit this end, we are the monks, to boulders Um, will leave a very good impression.
However, when we, after visiting the Main Hall, the monk said: "There is an important place to go to a go, to give you Zhidianmijin, we have specially invited from all the major temples of several masters, but also a free service. Go to the room next door. "
The room next door there are four master stood there, in front of them were ranked with four lines. Since it is free, and may listen to the teachings of masters, we will be discharged into the team.
Turn, and you came up with both hands clasped together, and remembered his mouth Amitabha, the master has his hands clasped together, and remembered his mouth Amitabha, and then gently ask you some questions, look at your Palm reading, so you Zhidianmijin. Of course, some say the least, and some not so accurate, but you do not care about, thank you master pointing to prepare open. Master said, you should burn incense. Suffered just so vivid education, there was another master Zhidianmijin What do you think it should burn incense, repeatedly nodded his head.
Thus, next to someone you picked up your "buy incense office" inside the person to tell you, to burn two sticks of incense, each column 90, you startled, the two columns is 180 yuan, but the education is still just beginning role, in order to express devotion to the Buddha, you hesitate a moment, or took out the money. The people inside to come up with two 90 cm long, with yellow wrap a stick of incense, but also come up with two candles and said, burned incense and candles to the master of the two.
You burn incense and candles to the two masters, the master has taught you something, and then tell you, it is best to go home please place the Buddha, Buddha will bless you every day. You said, the family had been invited. Master said, then a pair of mascots it, you nodded his head, the master wrote a note, once someone takes you to shop at. Read the master note, which people come up with a pair of stone toad, a pair of 360. Zhe Xiake your frightened, but also attend to face, and quickly escape from this terrible, "the Holy Land."
Described above is a true story, takes place around us. This story stone hut may be a normal day, how many tourists have been deceived by good honest ah!
It turns out that the monk's talk was wonderful, it masters Zhidianmijin, next to lead the way for people to buy incense and other staff of the Office's activities are carefully planned. They set up a one trap, so that you obediently to give in and truly be said: watertight.
Two sticks of incense, 180 yuan, a pair of mascots, 360 yuan, add up to 540 yuan, and this is our working-class hard-earned money ah, they were, the name of Buddha as their slogan, actually sounding to cheat people and those hard-earned money their own cash box.
They said that burning incense is not voluntary, not forcing them to burn incense and ah!
We visited many famous temples: the White Horse Temple, Guoqing Temple, Lingyin Temple, these temples to their long history, magnificent architecture, strict management, and famous. They also have the donation box, but also burn incense, but they are totally voluntary and in no way a little deception practices. Unlike the stone hut, and they tried another way, set the trap, deceive tourists.
In the nine Mountain, an old monk told me that burning incense to the Buddha, not incense and more is sincere, a former Buddha, burning incense on the list 3. Therefore, in Jiuhuashan, Sanyuan a bunch of incense, I worship the Buddha of 10.
I do not know that these dressed as monks, remembered scriptures, pious monks, is how to understand compassion, Purdue living beings? How the advice to others doing good? How will they face the merciful Bodhisattva Guanyin?
Visit the mood completely disappeared, and the monks who are very eloquent, with a new batch of tourists, began his "cause." "Also a group of slaughtered sheep, sadly, ah!" I want to.
In my eyes, the stone Temple of the temple are no longer so grand, not so holy Church of the Goddess of Mercy. Because the stone hut of the monk, the name of Buddha under the banner, stem the murderous intrigue. They are violating the teachings of the Buddha, the desecration of a sacred Buddhist.
Sea of bitterness bounds, repent and be saved, is to thoroughly reflect on these monks time.
Kind-hearted people ah, when you travel, when you had better long an eye-Do not be naive.
