Pilgrim friends:

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to the first ancient temple in the Central Plains-Yiyang Lingshan Temple. Lingshan Temple is also known as Hongji Temple, Baozhong Temple, yuquan temple Temple and Xuanquan Temple. Located on the mountainside of the main peak of Lingshan, the whole temple is built on the mountain, backed by Lingshan and facing Luohe. It is not only famous for its beautiful scenery and exquisite architecture, but also known as the sister temple because of its long history, flourishing incense and echoing with the East and West of Baima Temple. As the ancestral temple of Buddhism in China, Baima Temple has a history of 1900 years, but Lingshan Temple, as its sister, is a mystery. According to Yiyang County Records and existing inscriptions, Lingshan Temple was expanded in the third year of Jin Dading (A.D. 1 163), and the date of building the temple should not be later than Tang, Wu and Zhou Dynasties, but at least 1300 years ago. It may also be during the Han and Wei Dynasties, and it was one of the earliest temples that radiated to the surrounding areas after the establishment of Baima Temple, about 1800 years ago.

Describing Epang Palace in Du Mu's Fu on Epang Palace, he said: "Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion. The porch bends back, with high eaves and teeth, each holding its own terrain and intrigue. " Nanshan Temple in Wutai Mountain has the same momentum and charm. Stepping into the temple, winding paths lead to secluded places, pavilions and pavilions are overwhelming. There are many stone carvings and couplets in the depths of the tunnel and at the head of the courtyard, especially in various buildings. The theme is diverse and the content is complex. Wandering among them, there is a feeling of changing scenery and colorful. In temples, it is rare to see such a large-scale and elaborate group building.

As for the origin of "Lingshan", it is said that Zhou Lingwang was buried here. It is also because this mountain is very similar to the spiritual jiusan mentioned in Sakyamuni's lecture at that time. Hence the name. Lingshan, also known as "Phoenix Mountain", is the king of birds and the head of the four beasts (phoenix, unicorn, turtle and dragon) in ancient legends of China. Its position in China culture is second only to that of dragons, and its feathers are beautiful. The male is called Phoenix, and the female is called Phoenix. It has been the most important auspicious and magical thing in legend since ancient times. It is said that the phoenix can be reborn in the fire, symbolizing beauty, wisdom and good luck. It is called "Nirvana" in Buddhist scriptures. The ridges on both sides of the main peak and the secondary peak of Lingshan are naturally concave, forming a beautiful arc, which looks like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying.

Passing through Hanshan clause, you can see that the stone arch bridge in front of you is Jiangfeng Bridge. Now let's take a look at the wall in front of the mountain gate. The three characters "Hanshan Temple" on the yellow wall were written by Tao Junxuan, a famous native of East Lake in Zhejiang. The font is simple and vigorous, adding a sense of solemnity to the ancient temple that has experienced thousands of years of wind and frost. You can take pictures here as a souvenir. See you in an hour. Please pay attention to time and safety. Thank you for your cooperation.

The highway in front of us is Juan Highway, which is 7 kilometers away from Yiyang County and more than 30 kilometers away from Luoyang City. This archway is a wooden archway with three doors, four pillars and seven roofs, second only to the Forbidden City in Beijing. As we all know, only in the palace can there be nine temples, even if the level is higher, there can only be seven. The "Holy Land of Lingshan" on the wooden archway was inscribed by Ouyang Zhongshi, a contemporary artist in China.

To the east of the square is Foxiang Street, which is the largest Buddhist cultural street in China. Total area 10050 square meter, with two streets, four rows of houses and nearly 400 shops, mainly engaged in buddhist supplies, tourist souvenirs, special snacks and other projects. When you come out, you can go in and have a look when you have time.

Buddhists say, "Sincerity is the spirit." I hope everyone can come into the temple with a sincere heart. I believe Lingshan Temple will definitely bring you more aura. Scenic spot entrance mountain gate

This mountain gate is located on the central axis of the scenic spot. The gate is an antique building in Qing Dynasty, covered with yellow tiles. In ancient times, yellow glazed tiles could only be used in palaces and royal temples, indicating that the gate was of a high grade. There are three doors, big in the middle and small on both sides, which symbolize the "three liberation doors" of Buddhism, namely "empty door", "no phase door" and "reactive door". What is "three extrusion"? It is to warn the world to let go of the three wild thoughts of fame, wealth and lust, enter the Buddhist country, learn from Buddhism, be kind to the people, and get rid of the world's difficulties.

Guanyin square

We usually say "when in Rome, do as the Romans do". Of course, temples also have their own exquisite. When you get here, you should also follow some Buddhist etiquette. First of all, we must do three commandments: caution, caution and action. The precept is that when you get here, don't say some rude words, dirty words and disrespectful words to Buddha and Bodhisattva. Caution is to put aside some trivial matters in work and life for the time being. Keep a clean heart and talk quietly with Buddha and Bodhisattva. The behavior of abstinence is that when we come to the temple, there are gods three feet above, so we should not smoke, because buddhas and bodhisattvas receive incense, not "fireworks" on earth. Besides, we shouldn't litter and spit everywhere. When entering the hall, the man crosses his left foot first and the woman crosses his right foot first. Never step on the threshold, because the threshold is equivalent to the Buddha's shoulder. In addition, sunglasses should also be removed. I hope everyone can face up to the Buddha and Bodhisattva instead of wearing colored glasses. Hats and umbrellas should also be put away. Temples have always been clean places, so we shouldn't make any noise.

The Guanyin statue in front of us is 69.9 meters high, of which the base has three floors, the first floor is 8 meters high, the other two floors are 4.7 meters high, the lotus tower is 6.6 meters high and the Buddha statue is 39 meters high, making it one of the new landmark buildings in Luoyang. There are boys and dragon girls standing on both sides of Guanyin, so how did Guanyin appear? According to legend, a Buddha was born in the ancient King Snake City and celebrated. 500 people met a pregnant woman on their way to a meeting. The woman accompanied her, only to miscarry, and 500 people left her. The woman vowed to be reborn in the next life to Wang Shecheng and eat all the children in the city. Later, as she wished, she gave birth to 500 children after being reborn in Shecheng, and caught the children in the city every day to feed them. When Sakyamuni heard about it, he hid one of her children while she was away. After Gui Mu came back, he couldn't find it anywhere, so he finally turned to Sakyamuni for help. Sakyamuni advised her to mind her own heart, and indeed persuaded Gui Mu to realize her mistake and become one of the guardians of the law. Also known as "the mother of violence and evil" and "the mother of joy". In China, she is regarded as a godsend. In Buddhist temples, statues are all middle-aged women of Han nationality, surrounded by a group of children, holding or holding a child. It shows Guanyin's compassion and broad feelings. The three-story base shows us different interiors.

Rong: The first floor is the incarnation, showing the thirty-three bodies of Guanyin, which is a place for tourists to experience worship; On the second floor, there are four Guanyin: Liu Yang, Qianshou, Songzi and Cai Feng. On the third floor, there are eighty-eight Guanyin statues and great compassion curses, which surround Guanyin.

The Guanyin belief that "a thousand miles of prayers are answered in a thousand ways, and suffering often makes people cross the boat" is well known to women and children of the Chinese nation and has far-reaching influence. Luoyang Lingshan Tourism Development Co., Ltd. is a solemn bodhisattva Dojo, which promotes the virtues of great scholars. It is an open-air Guanyin statue, which is sent to Lingshan for all people to pay their respects or pray.

Since ancient times, Lingshan has attracted pilgrims from all directions with its "Eight Scenes of Lingshan" and "Six Wonders of Lingshan". Eight sacred sites of Lingshan, namely: hanging embroidery on the precipice, perching stone on the fairy palm, celebrating cave cloth, stopping the machine, overlooking the lonely peak, imitating carved mountain ridge, Luoxi ring and spring sound. "Six Wonders of Lingshan": The gate of the temple opens to the north and looks like a tower. Inscriptions are hung on the wall, monks and nuns live in the same yard, colorful faces appear, and birds are singing all over the mountain. Please slowly unveil the mystery of Lingshan with me.

Due to the government's attention and overseas Chinese's funding, Lingguang Temple has been repaired. In addition to Daxiong Hall, there are King Kong Hall, Luohan Hall and Guanyin Pavilion. Recently, "Sanbaixuan" and "Guanyin Pavilion" have been built, and the mountain gate, stone pavilion, pottery tea pavilion and ancient silver bridge have been rebuilt, adding a new look to the historic site. Lingguang Temple is highly valued in Meizhou people's hearts. Now such activities are often carried out, and firecrackers are more than ten meters long. Let's take a closer look.

Buddhist temple gate

Hanshan Temple was founded in 502 AD, that is, during the Tian Jian period of Liang Dynasty, and has a history of 1000 years. Hanshan Temple, formerly known as Miaoliping Pagoda Garden, was burnt down in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. What we are seeing now is the' relics' preserved after the production of 1906. Of course, the Suzhou municipal government has also made great efforts to transform it in recent years in order to get a new look today. Here, some tourists may ask, "Where is Hanshan Temple? Is Hanshan Temple very cold? " Let me give you an answer. 1 In fact, Hanshan Temple is named after people instead of mountains. There were two monks in the Tang Dynasty, one was Hanshan and the other was Picked up. Especially Hanshan, a poet and monk in the Tang Dynasty, wrote Hanshanzi's poems. Later generations renamed this temple Hanshan Temple to commemorate Hanshan.

The mountain gate in front of us rests on the top of the mountain, with a single eaves and looks like a tower. It is about 4 meters high, about 100 square meter. In the tenth year of Kangxi (65,438+06,765,438+0) and 65,438+0980, it was rebuilt, and there was a cave gate under it. Written by Mr. Zhao Puchu, former vice chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former president of Chinese Buddhist Association. Passing through the East Gate and above the mountain gate, you can see the words "when it rains", which is a true portrayal of the efficacy of the layman in Lingshan, and also reflects the good wishes of the pious messenger. These three words can be interpreted in any way. It rains when it rains, which means praying for Buddha's blessing, spreading rain widely and bringing happiness and peace to people. May the Buddha bless the rainy season and know the weather.

This is the real meaning of traveling when it rains. It enshrines Guanyin in all directions. She looks around, listens to all directions, and protects the world at all times. There are 16 murals around the wall, which are various incarnations of her. You can get to know them. It is said that walking around the compassion pavilion three times clockwise represents luck and can eliminate disasters and overcome difficulties.

Bell tower and drum tower

On both sides of the mountain gate are the newly-built bell tower and drum tower. Everyone knows the "morning bell and evening drum", but it is not. In the morning and at night, the temple should ring the bell and drum, but the difference is that the bell should be rung first and then the drum should be played at night. The routine is to tap 18, tap 18 slowly, then tap 18 slowly, and so on twice, totaling 108. Read two paragraphs in the middle. The reason why it is 108 is just like our rosary is 108 and the steps are 108, because Buddhism says that people have 108 kinds of troubles, and all troubles come from greed, anger and delusion. Knocking 108 is equivalent to completing the teaching method of 108 in Buddhism. Since then, people's troubles have been forgotten.

Come to the temple and burn incense for the Buddha and Bodhisattva. So why on earth? "People fight for a sigh of relief, and the Buddha fights for a column of incense." As we all know, people communicate with others through qi language at first, but after a long time, they communicate through heart-emotion. And people really need to communicate with Buddha through incense. Only through the fragrance can the Buddha know the purpose of our trip, and I hope the Buddha can do something for us. "Light reaches Buddha's knowledge and fragrance reaches Buddha's knowledge". So before burning incense, light a lamp, which is equivalent to the eyes of Buddha and Bodhisattva. When you light up two lotus lanterns, it is equivalent to lighting up the Buddha's eyes and letting him see our arrival. It is also the lamp of wisdom and longevity. Your own incense is lit on your own lamp, that is, the incense is constantly burning. Every merit we invite in the temple, such as incense lamps and any protective Buddha, utensils and charity, is for ourselves.

Dear friends, Dadonghai is 3 kilometers away from downtown Sanya, between Yulin Port and Luhuitou Ridge, and it is one of the famous bays in Sanya. The crescent bay is about 2 kilometers long. Sunshine, sea water, beaches and green trees constitute beautiful and typical tropical scenery. The water temperature in winter is 18-22℃, which is an ideal place for seawater bath and sunshine bath. According to legend, Dadonghai is the place where the black dragon plays in Sanya's pen-writing peak and pen-writing cave. Legend has it that the Black Dragon took a fancy to the clear sky and beautiful sun in Dadonghai, with blue waves and calm sea water, and begged the Dragon King of the South China Sea to lend him Dadonghai to play. The South China Sea Dragon King agreed. Who knows that the arrival of the black dragon will bring a typhoon, which will make the waves in Dadong high and fast, affecting people's fishing and life. The Dragon King of the South China Sea looks ridiculous, and has taken restrictive measures, allowing only the Black Dragon to come to Dadonghai occasionally to exercise his muscles.
