Legend of Tiantai Mountain: Three Immortals Down to the Tiantai

Legend has it that a long time ago, one night, three immortals came to Tiantai Mountain. They are Shi Xian, Ta Xian and Hai Xian. The Jade Emperor ordered them to build a bridge in Liang Shi, a tower in the National Assembly Temple and a place to lead seawater to Cangshan.

Shi Xian, who built this bridge, came to Liang Shi and saw the waterfall falling from the sky, splashing and flying down. The two peaks are opposite, with cliffs on both sides, and a bridge must be built in the middle. With great strength, the fairy grasped the rock bamboo shoots on both sides with both hands, pulled them hard, and with a crash, the two peaks were connected together, forming the A Liang Stone Bridge. Liang Shi Bridge is 20 feet long and 5 inches wide, with a dragon-shaped turtle back, which is both narrow and dangerous. The waterfall on the bridge is in the air, and the water under the bridge is swift and exciting. Shi Xian built the Liang Shi Bridge, but there was nothing to do. It was only midnight, and he had a brainwave, thinking of Doby Daxian and Hai Xian. He pretended to be a rooster. Whoa, whoa, whoa I cried quietly.

One chicken sings and a hundred chickens answer. The cock crows early to see the sky, and the dawn is just around the corner. Immortals do not let mortals know what they have done. Taxian, who built the tower, took photos of young people in nearby villages, moved houses, laid bases, and people came and went. The tower has been completed and is being placed at the top of the tower. The tower head has been built and placed in Jinjiling, five miles away. When he heard the cock crow and didn't have time to put it on, Taxian secretly hid. That night, the young people in the nearby villages had a dream that they were carrying stoves and bricks at home to build a tower in the Parliament Temple. When I woke up, there was a tower in front of kokuseiji. The tower looks dark red. Legend has it that it is made of stove bricks, but it is still short. Tower head can't be photographed in Jinjiling, so people built a temple there called? Tatou Temple? .

The sea fairy riding the sea came to the blue ocean, waving a magic whip in her hand and rushing to the sky platform. Wherever the sea water goes along the way, the water waves are rushing, the waves are rough, the fish and shrimp are swarming up and down, and the flat land turns into an ocean in an instant. Unexpectedly, Hai Xian had just washed the sea to Sanmen for sightseeing when she heard a cock crow and panicked. He thought that the sea trip had reached his destination and immediately hid. Therefore, that place is still a piece of land, and the sea can't be seen, and the sea water can't swim into the sea. Now, you can see a small stone at the mouth of Hua Nao. Legend has it that Hai Xian has buried all the boat piles.

The Legend of Tiantai Mountain: the Origin of National Temple

Congress Temple in Tiantai Mountain is an ancient temple in Sui Dynasty. Speaking of history, there is an old rumor.

In the Sui Dynasty, a man named Zhijie left home very early. He wanted to find a famous teacher, so he wore sandals, carried a bag and looked everywhere.

On this day, he came to Jiangling, put down his baggage, just lay down in bed, in a trance, put on sandals and went out again. He walked along a road, but he came to a high mountain. He looked up and saw that the mountain was full of strange stones and flowing springs. He liked it very much. He walked along a mountain stream. He turned three corners and climbed three ridges. Suddenly, a canyon appeared in front of him. The ravine is green with pine and bamboo and red with azaleas. What a beautiful scenery! Zhijie stood still and looked in all directions. The valley faces south and there is a peak in the north. The mountain peak extends to both sides, just like two arms holding this ravine, really like a swallow's nest.

Zhijie was shocked and thought, is it really a blessed land? Just thinking, I heard someone calling his name in the distance. Looking down the sound, there are three rocks on the top of the mountain in the north. On one of them, an old monk sits squarely, waving his hands at himself.

Zhijie thought: Is he calling me up? But look ahead, it is a ravine three feet wide and ten feet deep, and the water at the bottom of the ravine is deep and urgent. After crossing the ditch, it is a cliff dozens of feet high, and even the goats can't climb up.

Zhijie was stumped by the ravine. At this time, the old monk at the top of the mountain spoke: disciples, don't worry, I will help you to the top of the mountain. ?

The words sound just fell, stretch out your right hand, one foot, two feet, one foot, two feet? After a while, I reached for Zhijie from the top of the mountain. I grabbed Zhijie's hand and said, apprentice, apprentice, use your strength to get to Jinling quickly. ? Wisdom ring feels a hot air, from hand to body, and then from body to foot, suddenly full of energy, as light as a swallow, just one step? Huh? Fly loudly, fly over the mountain stream, fly up the cliff and come to the old monk.

Zhijie just stopped and saw that the old monk's arm had shrunk back, and it was exactly the same as ordinary people again. Wisdom ring? Plop? Kneeling down, the monk picked him up and said with a smile, you are destined to be here. You should live here, and finally live here. ? Get up and leave. Wisdom and prudence can't keep up! In my panic, I tripped over a Gu Teng and woke up. It was a dream.

Wisdom ring remembered the scene in the dream, surprised and happy, but what was the name of the mountain seen in the dream and where was it?

The next day, he put on sandals, shouldered his luggage and decided to visit all the famous mountains in the world.

There is no way to doubt the mountains and rivers, and wisdom has been day after day. On this day, he walked more than ten miles along a mountain stream, and then climbed a steep mountain. Before him, there really appeared a ravine like a swallow's nest. He wiped his sweat, unbuttoned his skirt and fanned it, exhaled and said, ah, finally found it! ?

I just wanted to find a place to have a rest when I heard someone calling him from behind. Zhijie turned around and saw that he was a kind-hearted old monk, really like the man I met in my dream!

Zhijie asked the other party before he knew that this mountain was called Tiantai Mountain, and the old monk's dharma name was set wide. During the conversation, Zhijie saw that he had a deep study of Zen and was very ambitious, so he decided to worship him as a teacher. You're welcome when you put on the light. You just said with a smile, disciple came here after a lot of hardships today, which shows your sincerity. There are Jinfeng and Yinfeng in this Buddha Dragon, and I lived in Jinfeng. Go to Yinfeng! ? With that, he pulled up the wisdom ring and pointed to a mountain in the south, saying, that's it. ?

After leaving the light, Zhijie came to Yinfeng, cut down trees, take bamboo, move stones and cut thatch, and built a thatched cottage, named it? Clean tricks? Live there and concentrate on Buddhism. Many things happen. After several years, Zhijie finally founded Buddhism in Jingmingtang. Tiantai Sect? .

After the establishment of Tiantai Sect, it became more and more famous and spread all over the country, with more and more believers. Jing Tangming couldn't live any longer, so Zhijie led everyone to build Gaoming Temple and Huading Temple, and built eleven big temples back and forth in Tiantai Mountain. However, this still can't live!

It was August 15. Zhijie went to Jinfeng as usual to see Master Ding Guang, sat down and took a sip of tea, then heaved a sigh of relief. Ding guang said:? Disciple, what are you thinking?

Zhihuan said, I just want to ask Master for help. Just because Tiantai Sect is spreading more and more widely, there are more and more believers. Although eleven monasteries have been built now, they are either high in mountains and dangerous in roads or cramped in terrain. When Tiantai Sect is spread again, there will be more believers. I want to ask Master to point out another scenic spot and build one. Zuting? For future use. ?

Ding guang said:? It's hard for you to have such sincerity. Ok, tomorrow you will go to Fulong and walk southeast 10 mile. There is a basin in that mountain pass, surrounded by five peaks, and there are two streams in the middle, named Yin Di. Silver land, silver land, the wise should live. Because Dingguang said that? Smart people should live? Well, the later wisdom ring was called the wise man.

The next day, Zhijie rushed down the hill on crutches and walked ten miles to the southeast. Sure enough, he found the silver earth. On the same day, I happily returned to Folong and said to Dingguang. Master, I found it. What a nice place! ?

Ding guang said:? The place is good, the temple can be built, but six words should be remembered. ?

Zhijie asked:? Which six words?

Ding guang said:? If the temple is built, the country will be clear. ?

Wisdom quit back to net tricks, the in the mind constantly read these six words. He believes that in today's world, wars are frequent, traitors are in power, and ordinary people are miserable. Master said that when the temple was built, the country would be peaceful and the people would live and work in peace. Well done! So, he didn't rest, lit a candle and painted the pattern of the temple overnight.

This year, Zhijie was over 90 years old, frail, tired day and night, and fell ill just after painting the pattern and before he started working.

On his deathbed, Zhijie called his eldest disciple to the bedside and took out the drawings, saying, This is the temple pattern of Yin Di ancestral hall, which is my lifelong wish. After I die, you must build this temple. Pass it on from Ding? If the temple is built, the country will be clear? Remember the six-character motto. After the temple is completed, it is called. Xiaoguo Temple? All right! ?

After Zhijie's death, the big disciple began to build The Story of National Mourning, which took a lot of time to complete.

What about now? If the temple is built, the country will be clear? These six words are still engraved on the stone tablet, standing next to the release pool of Guoshou Temple.

On the north mountain of Folong 'ao, there are three big stones in a straight line. Before Zhijie came to Tiantai Mountain, he dreamed that there were three similar rocks in Jiangling and a monk was waving to him. Later, when his dream came true, he named it? Fixed light wave stone? .

Legend of Tiantai Mountain: ever-burning lamp

Legend has it that there was once an ever-burning lamp in the Hall of the Great Hero of the National Assembly Temple. Is it? Magic lamp? . The magic lamp only helps good people and treats bad people. It was a long time ago.

At that time, there was a rich man near xiaocang temple. His family owned 100 acres of fertile land and hired long-term workers every year. This winter has gone and spring has come, and spring sowing is about to begin. The rich man has not yet hired a long-term worker. He was standing at the door waiting anxiously when he saw a burly young man coming. He stopped him and asked. Can you do farm work?

The young man said: plowing and harrowing can do anything. ?

The rich people laughed it off. Okay, okay, I'm short of a long-term job. If you work in my home, you will get a cow every year. ?

The young man thought about it, and it was not easy to make a living, and a cow had money in her job, so he nodded and agreed.

It's been three years, and young people want to settle down and get married. Unexpectedly, the rich man smiled a few times and handed him three bottles of clear oil.

The young man was taken aback and asked. It was said that a cow becomes a bottle of oil a year.

The rich man rolled his eyes and said, You really dream of eating mung bean sprouts. I clearly agree to a kilo of oil every year. If you mess around again, I'll sue you to the government. ?

The young man thought: yamen is open in eight characters, so don't come in if you have no money! If I sue the government, I will lose. Forget it, just donate these three bottles of oil to Guoshou Temple and get some ever-burning lamps. I worked hard for three years and accumulated a merit.

On this day, the abbot of Congress Temple said to the young monk:? This afternoon, a great benefactor will come to the imperial palace. You should open the mountain gate to meet him and be a vegetarian. ? After lunch, the young monk waited outside the temple gate. He waited left and right until evening, when he saw a young farmer striding towards the temple, wearing sandals and carrying three oil bottles. The young monk went up and asked. The young man said:? I have three bottles of ordinary oil, which I gave to the temple to light a lamp to express my wish. ? The young monk thought, only three bottles of clear oil can be considered a big donor? But looking around, no one else came, so I did as the abbot said.

The young people were warmly received in the temple. After dinner, the young monk accompanied him to the Hall of Heroes, and he personally poured three bottles of plain oil into the lamp holder of the ever-burning lamp.

As soon as the oil was poured in, the ever-burning lamp suddenly lit up, several times brighter than usual, and even the bodhisattva's eyebrows could be seen clearly. The young monk was very surprised and hurried to ask the old abbot. The old abbot said:? These three bottles of oil are condensed by his three years of hard work, so they are extraordinary. There will be something dripping under the lamp later. You collect it and put it in the three bottles he brought for him to bring back. ?

The young monk returned to the main hall and saw a pool of red chips under the lamp. He put them into the bottle bit by bit and brought them back to the young people.

The next day, the young man came home, opened the bottle and found it glittering and serious. It turned out to be three bottles of gold. He was very surprised, so he used the gold to build a family.

The news that young people donated oil to get treasure soon reached the ears of the rich man. He thought: the long-term worker exchanged three bottles of gold for three bottles of plain oil in Xiaoguo Temple. I might as well take ten cars of plain oil to worship Buddha in Xiaoguo Temple, and I will definitely get something more valuable.

The next day, the abbot of the International Temple told the young monk that a Buddhist monk was coming today. You just need to open a side door to let him in and say hello. When the young monk left the temple gate, he saw yellow dust flying in the distance and ten oil trucks? Tickle? Before I came to the temple, I was followed by a rich man's car. When I asked, I realized that he had come to the National Temple to offer oil. The young monk was surprised: why didn't the abbot treat such a big donor warmly? On second thought, the abbot had foresight, so why should I be suspicious?

The rich man walked into the hall and hurriedly asked the young monk to pour oil into the ever-burning lamp. I didn't want the oil to pour in, and the hall was dark at once. The young monk ran to ask the abbot why. The abbot said that although a lot of oil was sent, it was ill-gotten gains and would not shine. When he comes to ask for a gift, you can clean this pale cassock and send him back. ? The rich man refueled and waited around the temple. After a while, the young monk brought a cassock, wiped off the yellow-brown sticky substance dripping from the lamp and handed it to him. He took the cassock and hurried home.

After the rich man came home, in order to show his prestige, he called the county master and his relatives and friends and held a banquet in the hall to see the treasure. After three rounds of drinking, he took the cassock to the hall for people to watch. After reading it, he put it on himself. Who knows that the rich man suddenly became a scalper without a tail.

Before everyone knows what's going on, this cow? Cleisthenes? Called a few times, and quickly ran to the long-term home.
