Longmen Mountain View
There is no mountain, a place on the lack of strength of character; no water, a city on the less scenery. The main rivers flowing through the Luoyang has four, only the name of Iraq's water, like her, like, pure handsome. The Longmen Grottoes is back in accordance with the Longmen Shan, facing the water door to Iraq, may show mountain catchment of the Spirit.
Not yet to the Longmen Grottoes, had been in Iraq to see the beautiful water lying at the foot of the mountain, in the sun scales from pico-flash light, surrounded by the two sides of Castle Peak, under extraordinarily charming. Longmen this section of the Iraqi water, especially wide at its widest place, looks like a small lake, upstream is not wide, but the long river sand was divided into streaks of white ribbons, gradually to the downstream surface of the water Gradually open, the shape looks like a girl's skirt garment. Longmen Grottoes built in Ha Tay on the side of the mountain, we started along the right bank of the Iraqi water, while mountain climbing, watching the magnificent cave complex.
Longmen Grottoes are not built dynasties, the earliest of the caves dug in the Northern Wei period, until the Song Dynasty. Since the majority of holes in a long time span, and statues have been severely disrupted, and the Longmen Grottoes of the largest one statue - Lu Shena Buddha, is relatively intact, down, especially the Buddha's face is very well preserved - leisurely down on the foot of the mortal beings, as if with a touch of compassion and tolerance. Said Lu Shena is modeled on the face of Empress Wu Buddha faces carved out, a person's face can portray to have great Buddha, there are so Nianhua smile calmly, really human of inventions.
Standing on the Western Hills, to Dongshan overlooks the verdant mountains and set off with in a monastery, in the hillside of the mist emerge. Wind waves of melodious大悲咒rains, but also adds a solemn temples and clean. Mid-height, a water barrier, misty Buddha sound, thin clouds, are giving a wrong impression, it is not a real temple, but simply the other side of the Buddha.
Whitehorse Buddha
I always thought, in fact, Buddhism in any one place, in the surrounding, in the heart. It is clearly way out of monks secular, but to be secular by the disturbance. They have tourists, unwittingly, have become a tour scenery.
In the White Horse Temple, I saw a tree from 1500 trees, do not know What's your name. Old trees, leather vertical and horizontal, back in accordance with an additional tree. It was enviable happiness, at least for this millennium is not alone. If there is no tree, accompanied by, I do not know if it is willing to live with this thousand years of worship.
In fact, the White Horse Temple is lonely. Incense so many customers every day walking in the bustling crowd, thinking himself nothing, desolate, not wishing to take into Chizhai Buddhism. Birth is actually very simple to achieve accession to the WTO but also to maintain Vacant heart, really difficult.
In front of a Lao Ni, I saw a pair of young boys and girls, who are devout to accept the open light. They carefully around the neck of the Emerald Buddha to put off the case of God, listening to the Lao Ni mouth mutter prayers, listening to her their own names, their respective places of kneading with the murmur of whispering together in, followed by to the merciful Bodhisattva Guanyin mind can not concentrate to knock down the three heads. I saw them relative to hook hands, a solemn expression of good faith in prayer tomorrow. Boys out of his face were still in panic, it seems never felt so solemn; while the girls were laughing comfort that he "was scared of the bar." At this moment, I was touched by their sincerity - the original beautiful worldly love.

Mang Mountain drove straight north out of the urban wilderness began to rise, on the ground, some uplift of the mound, above the weeds - these are ancient burial mounds, scattered the wrong floor, scattered in the wilderness, I do not know age, I do not know the owner. At first, build a tomb, they must want to lifetime wealth and status are also transformed into behind decent thing and let the children and grandchildren for generations to worship. However, history will all have obliterated lost power door first, these graves are back to nature.
Reached the Han Guangwu Mausoleum, of course, first going to drink the famous iron Xie mutton soup. Meal after meal, stroll into the cemetery, as if only a leisurely stroll after a meal digestion of. Imperial Tombs songbailin can be entered in, there is no meaning of the share of leisure, like a really tall Fenzhong gentle hills, the graves of Health with 28 Cooper, all born south diagonal, as if with a bow Participation ceremony, said to represent the 28 cypress hands of the dynasty, Liu year PTZ 28 will be. In the mound in front of the street stood a lot of inscriptions, of which one was very special, oval-shaped monument body little thin, the monument suffered from a small hole, reportedly attached to the hole on the ear can hear the sound of sea waves. I have one by one to listen to, really a little wave of sound, is an amazing enough, some people say this is because there away from the close of the Yellow River, and only tens of miles, so hear is the voice of the Yellow River.
There are many mass graves around the cypress interesting, strange, long, anecdotal and the supernatural, the most so I'm interested in a cemetery south side yard of a grandmother tree, this strain of the age old cypress trees around much longer than that, rough and rugged tree form looks like the trees around the Sun were a common sub-trees around an ancestor. The side of a dead tree trunk has been twisted line shapes Jingxiang great a person's body, face and trunk limbs evil. To say that if their bodies have any discomfort, so long as feel the grandmother tree, and then touch their own uncomfortable position will be able to restore health.
