Can not wait to jump ship, boarded by wood floating on the water ride shore, eager to dash through exports, before there are two roads, one left, one right. To the right of a noisy, the left side of a quiet, reportedly can reach the mountain temple. Up the road is flat initially, and only to the closer target, only a bit more difficult. Flat concrete road narrow stone steps will soon be an alternative path. Putuo Mountain, after all, while the mountain after all that is somewhat difficult. Fortunately, the Buddha, or compassion, and could not bear people who come here to worship too hard, Hill Road, although the narrow, but not rough, just a little some strength, the door will appear in front of us.
Putuo Mountain, there Temple, temples there are characters, in addition to all kinds of fonts "Buddha", the most seen is the "shore" word: repent and be saved, with the degree of the other side, and so on.
"Shore" is a very profound meaning of the word, carefully pondering, could really be able to appreciate the meaning to many.
"Shore" This also has the word "mountain", could not help thinking, said, alluding to the shore is in front of this chu in the water "mountain" mean? Putuo is the Buddha, is controlled wonderland, If we can really crossing to here, should also be regarded as a perfect virtue. If it wants to be moral, would require crossing, through this vast expanse of water, and then see the mountain, after the board is to the shore of the.
"Repent and be saved" and "the same degree on the other side" is quite contradictory words. Boats leave, you looked back, behind the ports go away is the shore, and then look to the future go, a vast, in this boundless, the hidden one shore, so at this moment has been hesitant, is back to shore or continue to the ferry, mounted on the other side? Most people will choose to move on, find another continent or to another island, to reach that distant shore. Can pass across the sea to find another piece of land, the excursion of the people will not have such a feeling: the other side and go back to shore under the original is a glimpse of the same. Toru then ran enlightenment: in fact had to be sought after in the behind, and this process of shore crossing to enter into a so-yan, "you see, or mountains," state of mind must undergo before the transmigration.
Shore sea voyage rest of the Inn, is the habitat when the waves hit the harbor, is a symbol of peace, in the face of danger most when the desired shading. Shore is also home to the destination. After surging across the risk, the person is a search for the original ownership of a home. View of this, go back and drift, the original purpose is the same. Just that there is no "crossing" process, there are a few people would willingly dependents to remain in this already owned their homes? "Look back" and "with the ferry," then becomes not contradictory, it symbolizes the kind of enlightenment causal.
