After listening to his words, I nodded and motioned for him to lead the way, and we headed to Wat Pho.
But the body of the monk only paused, and did not move, but said again, "Before going down the mountain, the family teacher once told the little monk, saying that the Zhou donor has my Buddhist token on him, and the little monk needs to confirm it before he can go up the mountain." ” When he said this, I frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, I felt that his request was reasonable, and there were many secrets in the Temple of Reclining Pho, and it would not hurt to be cautious.
It's just that I just got the reclining Buddha beads, how did the Miaojue monk know?
I didn't understand it, I didn't dig deeper, but I just reached out and handed him the reclining Buddha beads in the willow bag.
Monk Shanwu took a look, his eyes suddenly flashed, his arms trembled slightly, and after taking a deep breath, he hurriedly handed over the Buddha beads to me and said to me, "Sins and sins, please ask the donor to follow the little monk up the mountain." ” With that, he took a big step and walked to the door of the hotel first.
The hotel we were staying at was only half an hour's drive from Wat Pho, and since there was no traffic on the mountain, the car stopped at the base of the mountain.
Along the way, the monk told me about the origin of this reclining Buddha temple, and what he said I had seen in the information before, but I didn't pay much attention to it, but just whispered along with it.
This reclining Buddha temple is worthy of being a thousand-year-old temple, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims, and I am afraid that it will be more prosperous when the temple fair.
Fortunately, this Reclining Buddha Temple is not like Laoshan where we have been before, there are no prohibitions.
Thinking of Laoshan, I was stunned, I had promised the head of Laoshan to send the Donghuang Bell back, but I only thought about solving the matter of Xiao Wang Li, but I forgot about it, it seems that this Reclining Buddha Temple can not stay longer, or rush back to Qingdao as soon as possible, so as not to change suddenly.
As I pondered, the monk had taken us to a hall with a few large characters written in Sanskrit on the top of the hall.
Listening to the introduction of the monk Shanwu, this hall is called the Tianwang Palace, which enshrines six Buddha statues: Maitreya Buddha, the Four Heavenly Kings, and Wei Dao Bodhisattva.
Although I don't know much about Buddhism, I have heard a little about these Buddha statues.
This Maitreya Buddha is also called Maitreya Bodhisattva, transliterated as Cishi, transliterated as Mei Yuliye, Mei Tan Li Medicine, one of the eight great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, often called Ayita Bodhisattva in the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, is the successor of Shakyamuni Buddha, often revered as Maitreya Buddha.
However, the four heavenly kings of the Buddhist family are not the four above the heavenly court that ordinary people know.
The four heavenly kings here are the protector gods of Buddhism, also known as the four heavenly kings of the world, the four gods of the twenty heavens of Buddhism, located in the first heaven of the world of sampa desire.
The first heaven is also called the Four Heavenly King Heavens, and it is located on the four peaks on the mountainside of Mount Meru.
According to the monk Shanwu, these four heavenly kings are the king of the eastern country, named Dorazha, who lives in the east of the mountainside of Sumeru, and gold is the earth; The king of growth in the south, named next to the glaze, lives in the south of the mountainside of Sumeru, and the glaze is the ground; The wide-eyed king of the West, named Piliu Bocha, lives in the west of the Sumeru mountainside, and the silver is the land; The king of heaven in the north is known as Bishamen, who lives in the north of the mountainside of Sumeru, and the crystal is the ground.
This last Veda Bodhisattva, also known as Vedata, the Sanskrit name transliterated as the private construction of Veda Deva, meaning cloudy sky, was originally the god of Indian Brahmanism, and later naturalized as the protector of Buddhism.
According to legend, there are two main types of Buddha statues of Wei Dao, one is to hold the vajra with both hands and palms, and the other is to hold the vajra with one hand.
The two kinds of Wei Tuo Buddha statues have different meanings, the person holding the pestle in both hands means that the four welcome the Quartet monks to come and spend the night, and the person holding the pestle in one hand means that the temple does not receive foreign monks, and the monks only need to look at the shape of Wei Tuo in the Buddha hall to know that they are not welcome.
When the monk said this, he bowed to the hall, and then he no longer spoke, but stood beside me, as if waiting for me to make some moves.
When I saw this, I could see at a glance what he was thinking, what kind of mountain he was singing on what mountain, he must be waiting for me to pay homage to these bodhisattvas.
It's just that I didn't expect that Shanwu, who was still respectful in the hotel just now, is now ready to give me a dismount.
He knew that I was a feng shui master, of the same origin as the Taoist priests, and that my beliefs were different from those of the Buddhists, but he had to make such a difficulty.
Besides, the controversy between Buddhism and Taoism has existed since ancient times, and the extent of Buddhism is now incomparable to that of Taoism, and he obviously did this to show me off.
Thinking of this, I didn't pay attention to him, but walked in the other direction with the fat man.
Monk Shanwu didn't say anything on the surface, but I could clearly tell a hint of displeasure on his face.
But the more he looked, the more I was happy.
This monk may have found a way to deal with us, and did not rush to take us to see Monk Miaojue, but bypassed the Tianwang Hall and arrived at the Third Buddha Hall.
These three Buddha halls are also called the Daxiong Treasure Palace, which is the most of the halls.
The front door of the hall is hung on the forehead of the Yongzheng imperial pen "Shuanglin Suijing" wooden plaque, and there are Qianlong imperial inscriptions on both sides of the door: "Cuizhu Huanghua Zen Forest is empty and colorful, and the treasure building is beautiful and solemn."
Since this enlightened monk has to play tricks on me, I can't show impatience.
Although I have something important to do this time, I am not in a hurry.
Thinking of this, he followed the monk Shanwu to wander around the hall.
From his mouth, he learned that the three Buddhas enshrined in this hall are Amitabha Buddha in the Western Elysium, Shakyamuni Buddha in the Bhasa World, and Medicine Buddha in the Eastern Pure Glass World.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but think of the original monk who said that the Wu Qi in my body was the Buddha power of the ancient burning lamp.
According to Buddhism, it is these three Buddhas who are in charge of human beings, divided into the past Buddha and the ancient Buddha, the current Buddha is Shakyamuni Buddha, and the future Buddha is Maitreya Buddha.
I don't know why the Wu Qi in my body has something to do with the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha.
After the monk had finished speaking, seeing that we still hadn't moved, he quickened his pace, and said without looking back that he would take us to see the wonderful monk.
The fat man also saw the situation, and his big face was flushed.
Soon we came to the main hall of Wat Pho, the Hall of the Reclining Buddha.
This Buddha hall is three rooms wide, single eaves rest on the top of the mountain, yellow glazed tiles, under the eaves is a colorful bucket, and the ceiling has a painted ceiling.
The large plaque on the front eaves of the door is "Sex Moon Hengming", and the couplets on both sides: Bodhicitta is printed in all the Dharma, and the living person spends all sentient beings.
There is a plaque above the Buddha hall that reads.

After entering the hall, there is a big Buddha in front of you.
The bronze reclining Buddha lies on the couch on its side, its head is west and its feet are east, facing south, its eyes are slightly closed, its expression is serene, its posture is even, its folds are smooth, its right arm is bent, its right palm is supporting its head, its left arm is straight, and its fingers are pinching auspicious seals.
I have heard of the origin of this Buddha statue, which is said to be the posture of Shakyamuni before his death outside the city of Kushnaga in India, and depicts the Buddha giving his last teachings to his disciples under the sora tree when he was sick.
I was already shocked by the solemn Buddha statue in front of me, and I didn't move when I stood in the hall for a long time, only to hear a voice coming from behind me, "Master Zhou, don't come unharmed." ” Hearing this familiar voice, I turned around and saw that the person was wearing a robe, with a huge Buddha bead hanging on his chest, and his face was full of energy, this person was the monk Miaojue.
I arched my hand towards him and said, "Master Miaojue, long time no see. ” Monk Miaojue nodded at me and said, "Please don't blame the poor monk for missing the distance."
I don't know if the donor has already gotten the treasure this time. ” Hearing this, I was stunned, and sure enough, I was the same as I thought, when I was in the hotel before, I was a little strange, why the monk Shanwu would say that I had a Buddhist token on my body, it turned out that this Miaojue monk had already known that I had obtained the Buddha beads.
After thinking about it, I took out the Buddha beads, put them in the palm of my hand and handed them to Monk Miaojue, "This is what the master said." ” Unexpectedly, the wonderful monk just glanced at the Buddha beads, and did not take them, but smiled and said, "There is one more thing." ” His words made me a little unbelievable, but it instantly reminded me that this Buddha bead was really found in the tomb of Chiyou.
However, there is another thing that was also found from the tomb of Chiyou, that is, the lower part of the "Book of the Dead".
But there was not a word on it, only a green lantern.
Liu Ruxu told me before, there is some connection between this green lantern scroll and Buddha beads, for a while I thought of the Reclining Buddha Temple, I didn't think about it, but the monk Miaojue knew about it.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a tense in my heart, my eyes narrowed slightly, and I said in a deep voice, "I don't know what the master is referring to. ” When the fat man saw my face, his eyes were also dark, and he secretly took two steps closer to me.
The Miaojue monk probably expected me to react like this, and shook his head at me and said, "Don't panic, the poor monk doesn't have to think about anything.
It's just that that thing is related to Buddhism, and if you want to really attain enlightenment, you still need the help of my Buddha. ” The meaning of his words was as I had predicted, and it was clear that he must have known what he was saying.
In that case, it doesn't make sense for me to hide it or not.
Thinking of this, my face softened, and I patted the fat man on the shoulder, and he stepped out of front of me.
Then I asked what the monk meant.
After listening to this, the monk Miaojue motioned for us to follow him around the Reclining Buddha Hall and into the back mountain.
There was no one in the mountains behind this, and the ground was full of barren grass and dead trees, and I don't know what he meant by bringing us here.
Before I could ask, I saw Monk Miaojue close his eyes and say the Buddha's name, and then waved his hand, and the scene in front of him changed.
I didn't react for a while, but the fat man next to me pulled my arm, pointed to a place in front of me and said, "Sanwa, you see that tower seems to be a little weird." ” I looked in the direction of the fat man's finger, and there was a faint tower in front of me.
The tower stood diagonally on the ground, and was surrounded by a layer of black smoke, which looked strange.
Monk Miaojue had obviously noticed our gaze, and explained with a smile, "This is the Locking Spirit Pagoda of the Reclining Buddha Temple, but it was only a string of magic weapons that were lost many years ago, so it became like this.
But this place is a blessed place for you, and this Lock Spirit Tower is the key to unlocking the green lantern scroll. ”
