The faint fragrance of Huangmeimei floats.

The long-awaited trip to Huangmei finally came to fruition at the end of 20 17.

It was the night of 65438+February 18. Ruilin and Xiao Qiao came to the airport. I arrived by train first. Li Xia, the second sister in Tianjin, arrived 20 minutes later than me. She flew from Tianjin to Wuhan and took a bus from Wuhan to Huangmei Station.

The four of us hit it off at first sight, and the vegetarian food in the "piece of cake" restaurant deepened our understanding. More than two hours' drive, cool and carefree. Along the way, we were accompanied by stars and gentle breeze, as if to say, come back, home!

Accommodation has been arranged. It's past 9: 30 in the evening. "Sincerely Arrive" is our house number. There is a volunteer elder sister in her fifties living in the room. Later, I learned that she lived here for more than forty days, mainly cooking for the workers on the construction site. The other is Miss Lin Chan from Guangdong. When I stayed with my second sister Li Xia, Lin Chan rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Are you Mr. Wu?" I nodded with a smile.

Because the course couldn't be adjusted a few days before I came, I said I would be two days late, first to Jiujiang and then to Huangmei. Forest products come from Guangdong, and they also go to Jiujiang first and then Huangmei. We contacted on WeChat, so I thought it would be great if we were arranged in the same room. The result is satisfactory!

The second sister is enthusiastic, the elder sister is considerate, and the younger sister Lin Chanqin is quick and tidy. I am very happy to be one of these four people. We live together, warm and peaceful. Originally, the winter in Hubei was wet and cold, and there was no heating equipment, but because of Zen and happiness, there was no feeling of chill.

I was ready to take a break, so I quickly took a look at WeChat. The content in the group is: "See you at 5:50 tomorrow morning. Everyone is free to choose to sit in the meditation hall or have morning classes in the main hall. We will go to Lu Hua Temple at 8 o'clock.

I fell asleep happily at the thought of getting up at 5: 30 tomorrow morning to go to early class. ...

(1) Luhua Temple in Shanse Creek

At eight o'clock in the morning, all three drivers' desks were cleared. I'm in the same car with my second sister, eldest sister, Mao Jing, Qin Yan, Zhang Lin and Da Gui. The car driven by driver Da Gui is No.3.. Every five or six minutes, the car ahead 1 will send traffic information and explanation information. Only car 2 replied: car 2 received. Then you will hear the answer from car 3: car 3 received. At that time, I felt: I am really happy to set off with the post-80 s and post-90 s of this team!

After a long time, the car 1 has to escort the car 2 to change the tire. Our No.3 car drove to a fork in the road, and the driver was expensive. I don't know whether to turn left or right, so I can't get in touch with the hand platform and there is something wrong with the navigation. At this time, we stopped the car and saw the gray-black cement road. We drew a left arrow with bricks and put a twig. Such a detailed detail shocked me at once. There are orange arrows on the gray-black cement road. This model is deeply fixed in my mind, and I have to admire the wisdom and tacit understanding of these young people.

Soon after, we met and the car was parked in the parking lot of Sizu Temple. We went to Lingrun Bridge first, then worshipped Zuta and lectured on Dharma Cave. Master Yao Xian was a Feng Shui master before becoming a monk. He took us there. He led us to stand on the high wall and raised his hand to explain Shuangfeng Mountain, a treasure trove of geomantic omen. His calm explanation made us all listen with relish.

After that, we walked to Lu Hua Temple, about 20 minutes away. When I saw Lu Hua Temple, I felt very cordial, as if I had been there before.

In the embrace of Castle Peak, in the bamboo forest of Maolin, red walls, tiles and cornices are strewn at random, which are in harmony with the original landscape. A line of Ling Da shouted, "It's beautiful here! I like it here! " Don't our friends and relatives like children feel the same way?

"The mountains and rivers sound wonderful, and the reed flowers and the bright moon realize the vacuum; The Buddha's light shines for three thousand miles, and the birds and flowers are fragrant. " This scene gives people a beautiful enjoyment, so that you can suddenly appreciate the artistic conception of "the world is spotless". In such a beautiful situation, I can't help but raise my camera and bring back some lakes and mountains, an Tang fo ying. ...

It is said that Lu Hua 'an's vegetarian diet is famous for its fragrance. At noon today, it was time for dinner, and everyone really had a good time. Crispy oil cakes, tender yam, delicious rice, jiaozi stuffed with wild vegetables, and a few fried pickles, even if they are not here, you can feel the fragrance in your mouth.

The masters are all playing Zen Seven. I was lucky enough to meet all the wonderful and solemn Buddhist monks, and I couldn't help crying with joy and envy. ...

After dinner, visit the children's summer camp base and enzyme base. There are many kinds of enzymes made by Luhua 'an, such as drinkable enzymes, skin care enzymes and detergents. The environmental awareness of the masters is really amazing! Lu Hua Temple is the lower hall of Sizu Temple. In the afternoon, we went directly to Sizu Temple, five miles away.

(2) Sizu Dojo Temple

Zhengjue Temple, the fourth ancestor of Huangmei, was founded in the seventh year of Wude in the early Tang Dynasty. Taoist Zen master built a temple in Shuangfeng Mountain, Huangmei, Hubei Province to preach Zen. The establishment of this temple has enabled Zen monks to practice in peace and played a pioneering role in the formal formation of Zen temples and Buddhist groups in China. It is the first real Zen temple in the history of Buddhism in China.

Walking to the front of the mountain of Sizu Temple, I looked up and saw the words "Sizu Dojo" inscribed by Elder Ben Huan, glittering and shining. Our party, led by Master Yao Xian, walked into the solemn temple, and our hearts suddenly became quiet and cool.

A book I often read this year is the Zen Key of Life by Jing Hui, an old monk. When we visited the photo exhibition of Elder Jinghui's life Zen under the guidance of the mage, the pictures were kind and familiar, as if it happened yesterday. Later, in another exhibition hall, we visited the daily necessities of the elderly in Jing Hui. The old monk's daily necessities are extremely simple. At that time, when I saw the sewing kit used by the old monk, my tears became disobedient and blurred my eyes. Finally, I visited the relics of the old monk. Crystal clear, my eyes blurred again. ...

This Zen state has baptized our hearts. It has been more than twenty years since Elder Jinghui proposed to practice life meditation. This realm of Zen is an important spiritual support for our public. We should all carry forward the Zen of life, practice in life and live in practice. Conscious of life, dedicated to life. When we rely too much on external things, our strength will become weaker and weaker, so the spirit of Zen will play its own initiative. It turns out that our real happiness comes from the heart. In fact, doing every little thing well around you is to promote Buddhism and benefit students. I ask myself, is there anything in life that is not Buddhism? Everything in life is a Buddhist thing.

Historically, Zen has various methods. Buddha Sakyamuni presented flowers at Lingshan Meeting, and the venerable Ye Jia smiled, understood his meaning and taught Buddhism. Every move like that, a word, a smile, is the way, and it is the simplest way. When Zen Buddhism came to China, the founder of Buddhism preached peace of mind to his second ancestor Hui Ke in Songshan Shaolin Temple. After such a long time and all kinds of tempering, I finally completed the activity of spreading peace of mind in an instant, which is also a method. Huineng, the sixth ancestor, came from Lingnan to Huangmei, Hubei Province to seek the law of five ancestors. After eight months of life as a walker, Wu Zu read him the Diamond Sutra, and he instantly understood the profound significance of Zen, and then went to France for a southern tour, which was also a road. Later, there were many methods of Zen, and erecting a finger was one way; A glass of good wine is one way; Beating you a few sticks is also a way, and this way is nothing more than asking us to get rid of the confusion and pain of life and realize the awakening of life.

Visiting the Temple of Four Ancestors in person makes me feel cool. ...

There are several thousand-year-old sandalwood trees outside the gate of Sizu Temple. What attracts me is not the scenery here, but the ancient sandalwood tree with a thousand years of history. They are rooted in the cracks in the rock, and the whole tree grows out of the cracks in the rock. Stones and roots are inextricably linked and almost integrated. When I see these intertwined sandalwood trees, I think of the bamboo stones in Zheng Banqiao: I insist that the green hills are not relaxed, but the roots are broken. This thousand-year-old sandalwood tree is stubborn by nature, rooted in crevices, biting off the green hills and climbing up. Day after day, year after year, more than 65,438+0,000 years have passed, and it is still majestic and green, and the longer it grows, the stronger it becomes. Isn't this the spiritual symbol of perseverance, perseverance and harmonious progress that we need? A group of people turned around the rosewood tree several times and reluctantly ended their visit to the Temple of the Four Ancestors.

(3) Wuzu Temple in Tianxia Zen Forest

Wuzu Temple is the place where Master Hongren, the fifth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, became a monk, and also the place where Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor, became a monk. Song Huizong wrote an imperial letter: The world is a Zen forest, and Yuan Wenzong gave Master Hongren the name of "Miaoyuan Pujue Zen Master" and changed the name of the temple to Dongshan Wuzu Temple, which has been used ever since.

Our group stopped at the rice field of Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor, as if we could see the figure of Master Huineng in those days. "Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror does not stand. There is nothing, so there is no dust. " Liu Zushi also got his mantle from here. We slowly slowed down and quietly felt the cool blessing of the ancestral Dojo.

Then we came to the True Body Hall, which is the place where Master Hong Ren sacrificed his true body after his death. Therefore, it is called the True Body Hall. The front hall is dedicated to the statue of founder Hong Ren, and the partition behind the house is dedicated to the real body of founder Hong Ren. We all bowed respectfully to the founder. And recite the Heart Sutra here.

The true temple is the main building of the whole temple, carved with beams and painted with buildings, flying over the eaves and walking on the walls, which is very majestic. Floor tiles have been preserved since the temple was built, and they are the most blessed treasures.

After visiting the real body museum, we were received and enlightened by the Taoist priest in Wuzu Temple Prison, but the Taoist priest's story moistened our hearts like spring breeze and rain. Later, he told us that they went to Damogu Mountain in Taiwan Province Province. What impressed them most was that he learned a sentence and shared with us "Don't complain, just wish". Don't do things with a complaining heart, but have a big wish, a big wish. Serve all beings. After listening to it, I benefited a lot. After the tea was finished, the Taoist priest also gave everyone a bracelet. In the evening, I said goodbye.

When we came to the parking lot, we found that the tire needed to be changed. Only a few laymen and Master have had three births, five births and two births. In this situation, Master Yongjia's sermon immediately came to mind, "Walking is Zen, sitting is Zen, and words move silently."

Under the platform of Wuzu Temple, there is a magical cave that can accommodate dozens of people. According to legend, this cave is the place where the five ancestors taught Buddhism to their disciples, hence the name. There is also a great writer Su Dongpo's inscription: "Plum blossoms are not frozen, how can they be fragrant?" The indifference of Wuzu's presence was deeply imprinted in my heart.

(4) Laozu Temple

Laozu Temple was founded by a monk from India and a Buddhist monk named Zhang Bao during the Taihe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He lived 1072 years old and was called the first birthday star of Buddhism. There is a written record: "On the occasion of the school anniversary, I will open my hands and show the pearls to the teacher." That is to say, when he was nine years old, on the day of shaving, his palm was open and there was a treasure in it, so it was called the treasure palm.

When he came here, it was a barren hill with nothing. How old was he when he came to China from India? He had lived in India for more than 600 years before he came to China! He crossed Qian Shan to this Wei Zi, and then settled here. This place is full of purple air and auspicious clouds, so it is called Wei Zi.

He thinks the feng shui here is good, and Ziyun appears. He chose this place after observing the atmosphere on the mountain. At that time, the traffic was inconvenient, so he only studied here for a while. Later, he left and went to Zhejiang and Sichuan. In the early Tang Dynasty, the monk Zhang Bao returned, after nearly a hundred years. That is to say, at that time, the fourth and fifth founders had been preaching the Dharma here, and the first founder came to Huangmei, much older than the fourth and fifth founders. Therefore, we call him the bodhi old zu. He died in the second year of Xian Qing, six years later than the fourth ancestor, enjoying his life 1072 years old. This is recorded in Huangmei County annals and Laozu Temple annals.

Our party is fortunate to live here this time. Because the masters are playing Zen Seven, we also went to the meditation hall after the late fasting. The ancestral temple has a large meditation hall. Clean and solemn.

In this misty and quiet place, we also witnessed the extraordinary moment when friends and relatives converted. I really admire them with joy! With childlike joy, we went to Tiger Cave again, then strolled through Shan Ye and visited Tingquan Cave. By the time I got back, it was already after late fasting. Knowing that I will leave this beautiful ancestral temple tomorrow, I feel inseparable. Muttered: Come again next time, come again next time. ...

The ancestral temple is a Dojo specially designed for Zen in life. The memorial tablets in the temple "keep one thing" and "live in the present" are shocking. I immediately recited a pair of couplets: "The three industries are Buddha-like, and each does his best. Thinking means Dojo, always thinking about the present. "

After visiting four monasteries, I found that each monastery was so quiet and each mage was so merciful. You can see Gong Jing's shadow in every word and deed. This is inheritance!

This study tour is over, but in my heart, it has just begun. ...

Postscript:
