Chapter 668: Youmin Temple


Fengxin Baizhang Mountain Baizhang Temple, Youmin Temple.Youmin Temple is located in NC City, west of South Lake, next to Ba Yi Park.It was built in the Southern Dynasty during the Tianjian period, and was once called Shanglan Temple, Big Buddha Temple, Kaiyuan Temple.In the fourth year of the Great Calendar, that is, from 769 AD, the famous Zen master Matsu Daoyi abbot of the temple created the most prosperous situation.Later, it was renamed Shanglan Temple, Chengtian Temple, Nengren Temple, Youqing Temple, and in 1929, it was renamed "Youmin Temple".During the Middle Tang Dynasty, there were three most vibrant schools in the Southern Sect, namely the Hongzhou Zen of Matsu, the Heze Zen of the Shenhui, and the Stone Zen of Xiqian.Matsu Daoyi advocated that "the heart is the Buddha", "the Buddha is no different from the Buddha", and "the ordinary mind is the way", and is respected as the eight ancestors of Zen Buddhism.According to the proposition of the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Matsu Daoyi advocated that the mind is quiet, the Buddha nature is intrinsic, and the enlightenment is not pretentious, and preached that "the mind is the Buddha", which has had a profound impact on Chinese philosophical thought, national culture, and moral concepts.Matsu inherited the tradition of Huineng Buddhist reform, and opened the precedent of Linji and Weiyangzong, and he cultivated a group of pillars of Zen Buddhism.Matsu took his apprentice Huaihai to reclaim the wasteland and farm the land together, and was the pioneer of the integration of agriculture and Zen.The big bronze Buddha of Youmin Temple is nine meters eight high and weighs 36,000 catties.There are six large camphor trees in front of the main hall, with lush branches.In the scorching summer, Su Jiu recalled the information about this Youmin Temple in his mind.Look at the six large camphor trees in front of you, and the large bronze Buddha statue that can be seen faintly through the temple wall.Stopped.Thoughtful in the heart.This Youmin Temple is located in the center of the city.It can be said to be a scenic spot in the urban area, and naturally, there are more tourists here.Since ancient times.Buddhism was more prevalent in China.Especially in this society now, there are many people who believe in Buddhism, and the incense of this Youmin Temple is full of vigor.The reason why Su Jiu chose this temple was not because of the proximity of this temple, but because of a legend of this Youmin Temple.According to legend, during the Liang Dynasty, King Yuzhang's master Ge Sturgeon had a well in his home.There was a dragon living inside.In order to prevent the dragon from coming out to make trouble, King Yuzhang built a big Buddha to suppress the dragon.Later, Ge Sturgeon donated the house to build a temple.Because the big Buddha statue of Zhenlong was enshrined, Youmin Temple was called the Big Buddha Temple in the earliest period.What Su Jiu looked at was the keel in this temple.Legends must not be taken seriously.For the outside world.This legend.It's just a joke from the world.However, Su Jiu knew that this legend was true, and there was indeed a keel in Youmin Temple, and this keel was transformed by the monks of the past dynasties.It has long been a Buddhist treasure.The purpose of Su Jiu's trip is this keel.Nothing.It is more suitable than this keel as the eye of the Great Emperor's tomb.After looking at the entrance of the temple again, Su Jiu took a step and walked towards the inside of the temple.There are many tourists in Youmin Temple, and among the general temples, it is not the real monks who receive tourists.Most of them were hired from outside.To put it nicely, that is, a professional monk, except for the bald head is real, the rest are fake.Entering the temple, naturally, Su Jiu was not stupid, and went stupidly to greet these monks who could be seen everywhere.To take away this keel, the temple treasure of Youmin Temple, you have to have some means.Armed struggle is certainly not a no-go.This is something you don't have to think about, your injuries are not completely healed, and you are not suitable for hands.Even if he wasn't injured, it would be impossible to fight in this bustling city.You must know that in a city, there are many capable people, Su Jiu is very clear about this point, and there are countless feng shui masters in the urban area.As long as you do it, it will inevitably cause onlookers, and if you forcibly take away the temple treasure of this Youmin Temple, it will definitely be passed on, which is not to be thought of.Therefore, the solution to this problem by force was vetoed by Su Jiu long ago.This keel, Su Jiu had a plan, he could only outwit it, not the enemy.The layout of the ancient temple in China is mostly the front of the middle road for the mountain gate, the left and right sides of the mountain gate are the bell tower, the drum tower, the front is the Tianwang Palace, there are four King Kong statues in the hall, the back is the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the Tibetan scripture building, the monk's room, the hall are divided into the left and right sides of the middle road.This Youmin Temple is also built according to this specification.The Mahavira Hall in the temple is the most important and largest building in the Buddhist temple, and the "Nobita" is the Buddha Sakyamuni.Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Buddhist temple was generally built in front of the temple or in the center of the house, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Buddhist hall generally replaced the pagoda, and most of the temples opened another pagoda.Regardless of the scale and location of the Buddhist temple in China, its architectural layout has a certain regularity: the plane is square, and the north-south depth axis of the main temple for the Bodhisattva hall, the Dharma hall and the Tibetan scripture building is organized in the north-south depth axis, which is symmetrical and stable and rigorous.Along this central axis, the front and rear buildings rise and turn, like a song that echoes before and after, and has a vivid rhyme.The temple building of this Youmin Temple has the function of worshiping ancestors, heaven and earth, and is still a flat and square, north-south central axis layout, symmetrical and stable and rigorous building group.The position where Su Jiu is currently standing is in front of the Scripture Building, and through the Scripture Building, the backyard is where the real monk lives.This is Su Jiu's destination."

Donor, you can't enter here, please go to other places to play" Before Su Jiu could take a step, he was stopped by a monk."

Master, I am the descendant of the Su family of the Southern Sect, and I want to discuss this matter with the abbot of your temple, please let me know" Su Jiu paid attention to the observation, this middle-aged monk who blocked himself had a scar on the top, and there was an aura fluctuation around his body, although he did not show it.Su Jiu couldn't guess his cultivation realm, but as long as he was a peer, he could easily see that this middle-aged monk had cultivation."

Donor, please wait a moment, let me enter and tell the abbot" Hearing Su Jiu say this, the middle-aged monk's eyes obviously changed slightly, and they were no longer so constant.glanced at Su Jiu, said slowly, then turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.Su Jiu stayed where he was and didn't break in directly.Instead, he looked at everything around him with great interest.The temples outside, in general, as tourist attractions, are actually not much to see.After a period of time, I will go to repair, and its artificial traces are very obvious, and there is no charm of the thousand-year-old temple for a long time.The inner courtyard is different, and it still retains the traces left by the years.If you are interested in this, you can visit some temples and pay a little attention to it, and you will find out.s:S thanks to "IU135757" for the great reward:
