Everyone rubbed their bellies and started to have a picnic for a while.
Suddenly, a little thing with a big furry tail climbed down from the pavilion pillar.
"Ahhh!" Everyone screamed softly, but this was not the first time they encountered a squirrel, so they were more restrained.
By chance, we share our hearts together.
The squirrel was stunned for a moment, ran over, stopped, looked at them, and then continued running over.
"It understands, it understands."
"Don't lie to it!" He Huan said, "Squirrels in the mountains have never been lied to! They are very simple."
"Hahaha..." Everyone held back their laughter for fear of scaring the squirrels away.
Then he said anxiously: "But we don't have any dried fruits! Can bread, biscuits and other things be eaten?"
"He also eats fruits."
Hearing what Xiao Bailong said, Long Teng immediately took out a big pomegranate, broke it open and handed half of it to it.
The little guy ran up to Long Teng and looked up at her again, as if to confirm whether he was really feeding it?
Long Teng passed it in front of it again. The little guy was quite polite. He broke off a pomegranate seed from the top and started to eat it. He even spit out the pomegranate seed and broke off another pomegranate seed.
Long Teng was so happy that he smiled again with his little tiger teeth.
Put the pomegranate on the chair, and the squirrel will eat it one by one, its cheeks beating like bellows at high speed, check, check, check...
Everyone also quickly took out fruits to entertain other squirrels who were poking their heads in the pavilion.
A group of squirrels swished down and sat next to them, holding apples and gnawing pears.
Everyone looked at these little mountain elves with joy and enjoyed a picnic with them.
The stories and elves in the mountains, green mountains and clear water make everyone intoxicated.
"Squirrels all over the world are just as stupid!" He Huan said, "They would give up their lives just to stutter!"
"Hahaha……"
Those silly squirrels didn't realize that He Huan was calling them stupid at all. They enjoyed their meal leisurely and looked at them after they finished eating. Everyone continued to share the food with them.
"Ah! I love them so much!"
He Huan put down the grapes for the squirrels to eat, then took a camera to take pictures of everyone and the squirrels.
What a harmonious picture this is!
After finishing lunch, He Huan said: "Let's go! If we don't leave, they will think we are still serving dinner!"
"Hahaha..." Everyone stood up reluctantly.
He Huan cleaned up the peels and cores on the chair that had been eaten all over by squirrels.
Everyone packed them up and put them into bags before leaving the pavilion.
"Do they think we are gods?"
"They may also think we are stupid!" He Huan said.
"Hahaha……"
"I hope everyone who comes here will not hurt them and let them know that humans can be trusted."
After walking a long way, everyone couldn't help but look back at the pavilion.
On the way forward, I saw many unknown wild flowers and unknown beautiful birds.
However, He Huan is known by his name.
"Xiao Bailong, why do you know so much?"
"Genius!" said a tourist.
"Yes!" He Huan said.
Everyone started laughing again.
Following the little white dragon, stopping to take pictures and listening to stories, we arrived at Zhonghe Temple.
He Huan looked at the road sign and said, "Look! We walked eleven kilometers today! Five hours! You are so awesome!"
Everyone had smiles on their faces. They didn’t expect to have completed a pioneering work! It took such a long and long journey! However, the scenery along the way was beautiful, work and rest were balanced, and Xiao Bailong’s explanation was very interesting, and I didn’t feel tired at all.
"Ahead is Taoxi. There are no railings on the roadside and it is all on the cliff. It is an undeveloped road and it is very dangerous, so we will not go there. The ropeway closes at 4:30, so we will go to Zhonghe Temple to rest for a while."
"Yeah." Everyone followed him and walked down.
"There are many ancient temples in the entire Cangshan Mountain, because this is a Buddhist capital. For example, the Gantong Cableway we came up is because there is Gantong Temple. The Zhonghe Cableway is because there is Zhonghe Temple, and Zhonghe Temple is because it is in Zhonghe
Mountain, Zhonghe Mountain is because it is in the middle of Cangshan Mountain."
"Hahaha..." the tourists laughed, "Okay!"
"I haven't finished yet. Zhonghe Mountain is called Zhongyue, and it is the middle of the nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain. Therefore, the ancient city of Dali was originally called Zhonghe Town.
The reason why it is called Zhongyue is that it corresponds to Dongyue Mount Tai where the emperor of the Central Plains worshiped heaven. The emperor of Dali, Nanzhao, worshiped heaven at this Zhonghe Peak.
Sacrifice to heaven comes from Taoism. Although Dali is a Buddhist country, it has a long history and has always been connected with the Central Plains, so it still follows the concept that the emperor is the emperor.
Among the Buddhist temples all over Dali, Zhonghe Temple is a rare Taoist temple."
"Ah!" Everyone's eyes widened, "Then why is it called a temple?"
He Huan took them into Zhonghe Temple, "The Jade Emperor is worshiped in the middle, and Guanyin is worshiped on both sides, so it is normal to call it a temple. In our country, three religions are integrated into one, and one temple worships Taoism and Buddhism. This is a typical manifestation.
.”
"Wow!" Tourists followed him to visit Zhonghe Temple and listened to his explanation of the reasons and process of the synthesis of the three religions.
A middle-aged man wearing a monk's robe stood beside them at some point. After He Huan finished speaking about the Guanyin Temple, he clasped his hands together and bowed his head, "Excuse me, donor, do you want to use the evening fast?"
He Huan also put his hands together and returned the gift, "Thank you Master, no need."
"Free."
The tourists all laughed.
He Huan also smiled and said: "We will go down the mountain for dinner in a while."
The mage no longer forced them to stay and took them on a tour. He Huan explained to the tourists the gods enshrined inside.
After visiting the main hall, I walked to the side hall and looked at the couplet on the door. He Huan read it: "With deep experience, you will know the state of the world, and with enlightenment, you will see innocence."
Looking at this couplet, He Huan was silent for a long time. The tourists did not bother him, and the Master looked at him with a smile.
"Okay!" He Huan said, walked into the hall, asked the Master for some incense, and bowed sincerely. He asked for nothing, but was grateful.
Suddenly, my mind is open! All my grievances are let go!
The tourists also offered a few sticks of incense.
Coming out, He Huan turned to look at the Master, "May I ask the master's name?"
"No mention."
He Huan smiled and said, "Master Wuti, I am destined to meet you."
"What is the donor's surname?"
"He Huan."
Wu Ti smiled slightly and said, "It is indeed destined."
"Come again next time." Wu Ti clasped his hands together.
He Huan nodded respectfully.
After walking out of the side hall, tourists said: "Little Bailong! Free vegetarian food! Why don't you eat it?"
He Huan rolled his eyes at them, "Do you want to walk down the mountain after eating? The ropeway will be closed soon."
Everyone laughed.
"No mention! He Huan! Ah!" A tourist suddenly realized, "I know why he just said we were destined! If you ask him his name, don't mention his name! If he asks you again, is your name Sheng Yi He Huan?
If you see through the world of mortals, you are a member of the Buddhist sect! No wonder he said we are destined!"
Everyone looked at Xiao Bailong. He Huan looked at them and said, "Then I will become a monk here, and you can go down the mountain by yourselves."
"Hahaha..." Everyone pulled him, "Little Bailong, don't want it! You are going to become a monk. How much joy will be missing from the world!"
"That's right! What He Huan means is, without Little White Dragon, what kind of joy would there be?"
He Huan smiled and watched them forcefully explain.
Long Teng also looked at him with a smile.
"Since you asked him for his Dharma name, you should also tell him your Dharma name: Xiao Bailong!"
"Hahaha……"
"When Master Wuti heard this: Bring the pagoda! Suppress it!"
"My little white dragon is a good dragon, okay?"
"Hahaha……"
A group of people frantically pulled on He Huan and held on, as if they were really afraid that he would become a monk here.
After walking out of the mountain gate, He Huan turned around and said, "Look, what is enshrined in the stone niche is Maitreya Buddha, who always laughs at people who are ridiculous in the world, and whose big belly can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world!"
Everyone also turned to look at the smiling Maitreya Buddha with a wide belly and couldn't help but smile.
"There are many temples in our country, and in temples with great incense, almost all of them have Maitreya Buddha sitting at the gate. In Buddhism, Maitreya Buddha, like Guanyin, likes to travel around in disguise to meet people who are destined to be with him. He can be called the ambassador of Buddhism.
The smile is always open and good karma is formed. Therefore, Maitreya Buddha always sits at the mountain gate, greets all living beings with a smile, and tolerates everything.
Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, the aloof gods and Buddhas are not the most popular. The deeper the contact with the people, the more loved they are. We people love to laugh and rejoice, so Maitreya Buddha is also called the Laughing Buddha and the Happy Buddha.
As for Avalokitesvara, when she was in India, she didn't care about so many things at all! When she came to our country, she helped those who were in need. She begged her even if she didn't have a son, and even if she had a sweetheart, she would go wherever she was needed. That's why she is called the Great Merciful, Great Compassionate and Inspired Avalokitesvara.
Bodhisattva has become our goddess!"
The tourists laughed.
"So it's not just people from Yunzhou, but people from our entire country. If you want me to believe you, you have to answer what I ask you for. If you don't answer, it won't work. If it doesn't, I won't believe it."
"Hahaha……"
"Whenever gods and Buddhas come to our country, they have to work. If you don't work, people will not worship you. Therefore, in our country, gods and Buddhas are like civil servants. People have arranged jobs for them. He takes care of illness, you take care of having children, he takes care of marriage, and you take care of wealth.
.Very realistic and concrete!”
"Hahaha……"
"Everyone performs his or her duties, and no one can be freeloaders! Of course, they treat gods and Buddhas better, at least they don't beat and scold them all the time! It's different when you ask for a dragon. If you don't respond, I'll beat you!"
The tourists laughed like crazy.
Several people hugged Little White Dragon and said, "Little White Dragon is so pitiful!"
"We will never let anyone hit you!"
He Huan also had a smile on his face, "The biggest feature of Chinese Buddhism is the human nature of the Buddha. It is difficult for the Chinese people to accept someone who is cold, serious and terrifying.
Therefore, when Buddhism spread to the Han Dynasty, it also actively integrated it with our country's local culture and religion. Even if it is a religion, it must be liked by the people."
Everyone nodded and listened to him talk about Chunyangzi, the image spokesperson of Taoism, and now he talks about Maitreya Buddha and Guanyin, the ambassadors of Buddhism in Paoma Mountain, and found that this is really the case!
"Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. The Buddha on many jade pendants is Maitreya Buddha. Only they are made into protective gods that people carry with them."
"Little White Dragon! Where is the real jade?" Several tourists looked at him. Others said they would not listen, but when Little White Dragon said this, everyone wanted to buy it.
"Alas! I don't know about this either. I've just made my debut!" He Huan said, "I only know that the output of jadeite is limited, and a lot of jadeite on the market is synthetic."
"Alas!" Everyone sighed.
After seeing the Maitreya Buddha, we went to the promenade in front of the mountain gate. The three pagodas were close to our eyes, and we had a sweeping view of the ancient city and Erhai Lake.
He Huan said: "The best place to view the Erhai Lake in Dali is Zhonghe Peak. Dali has a square layout, and Zhonghe Peak is on the central axis. Tourists rarely take this line.
But on Chongjiu, when citizens climb high to enjoy the autumn, and on the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Jade Emperor’s birthday, there is a temple fair in Zhonghe Temple, and people in Dali and surrounding counties and cities will go to the mountains, which is very lively.”
Everyone looked down at the scenery.
"No wonder the Emperor of Dali likes to become a monk! The wind, flowers, snow, moon, and the wonderful fragrance of the Buddhist land are all here!"
"I have climbed many mountains and seen many temples when traveling to other places before, but what Xiaobailong showed us is really different!"
"Yes! This is tourism!"
Tourists all lamented that He Huan smiled and said nothing, and the mountain breeze brought refreshing feeling to his whole body.
The three cableway stations are not connected to each other, and tickets must be purchased separately. I bought a group ticket and called Master Wang. He Huan took them into the station and asked, "Do the legs still belong to you?"
"The legs are still mine, and the heart is yours."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone looked at him with joy, and He Huan also looked at them with a smile.
The open chairlift goes down the mountain close to the vegetation on the mountain.
The green color along the way is gradually giving off a hint of yellow. Tourists who have visited Cangshan Mountain for a day are satisfied but still unfinished, silently admiring the beautiful scenery of this last journey.
When they arrived at the station, He Huan and the tourists got off the hanging chair.
"Xiao Bailong! I've been waiting for you all day!" A man stood up from his chair. This chapter has been completed!
