Seeing her eyelashes trembling like grass blowing in the morning breeze, He Huan opened the curtains.
"Is it snowing?" Long Teng opened his eyes with a look of surprise. A thin layer of snow had accumulated in the courtyard, giving the flowers and trees a fluffy white edge. The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain outside the window was even more crystal clear and white.
"What a beauty!"
The fairy looked at them, what's so strange about snow? Hasn't it fallen in Hangzhou a long time ago?
"Yes!" He Huan kissed her forehead, "It snowed last time we came to Lijiang, and it snowed again this time. Wenfeng Temple is known as the most beautiful temple in Lijiang, and it is even more beautiful after the snow.
"
"Really?" Long Teng sat up, a little impatient.
Breakfast has been delivered to the living room, and the two of them started eating after washing up.
The fairy was also eating cat food nearby.
The easiest time for people to feel warm and content is when it is raining and snowing outside and eating hot meals with their loved ones in a warm house.
After a hot breakfast, the appointed driver also arrived. He Huan put on a down jacket, Long Teng put on a cashmere coat, and He Huan hugged the fairy in the down jacket, leaving only a cat head exposed, and set off.
Long Teng lived in the most expensive room, which was relatively private. He didn't meet anyone and went out directly.
When he arrived at the front desk, He Huan said, "Clean our two rooms."
"OK."
The female bodyguard has been waiting for Xiao Bailong to go out and start today's surveillance! The door is ajar and she sits by the door, listening to what's going on next door.
As a result, there was no movement for a long time! She didn't even dare to make a slurping sound when eating noodles. Ever since the two women left early in the morning, there has been no movement at all next door!
Could it be that Xiao Bailong was too tired last night and hasn't gotten up yet? This stinky man! This tour guide is so comfortable! Don't you even have to greet the tourists?
However, it is really easy to follow Miss Long. She talks little and doesn't like to go out.
Until she heard someone moving, the female bodyguard stood up excitedly and quickly opened the door. She saw the cleaning lady entering the next room, but did not see Xiao Bailong coming out.
"Hello." When the cleaning lady came out, the female bodyguard called her.
"Hello, do you need to clean the room now?"
The female bodyguard wanted to ask Xiao Bailong if he was inside? It was difficult to ask. The people in this hotel seemed to be very familiar with Xiao Bailong. If he told Xiao Bailong that she was asking questions, they would easily find out.
The female bodyguard nodded, asked her to clean the room, and quickly ran outside Miss Long's room.
I saw someone came to clean the room. Miss Long would never allow others to enter the room.
Have they left?
The female bodyguard panicked, and with an idea, she ran over and stopped the cleaning lady, "Has this room been vacated? I want to change to this room."
This is the most expensive room! Another wealthy person! The cleaning staff quickly and respectfully replied: "I'm sorry, ma'am, the guests in this room haven't checked out yet. I'm just cleaning."
"Oh." The female bodyguard breathed a long sigh of relief and turned around, no! Then Miss Long didn't check out and wasn't in the room on such a cold day. Where did she go? Did Xiao Bailong let Miss Long go out alone?
I quickly ran back to my room, where the housekeeper was still cleaning.
"Can I move to the next room? I didn't feel like the bed was very sleepy last night."
"Hello, there are guests in the next room."
"I'll go discuss changing rooms with him."
"The guest is not here. Let me tell the manager to change rooms for you." The cleaning lady quickly picked up the intercom.
"No need." said the female bodyguard.
The cleaner looked at her strangely, then quickly cleaned up and went out.
The female bodyguard punched the table.
When did she run out? Was it earlier than those two women? After all, she didn't relax at all!
The female bodyguard was very upset and didn't know how to report it to the boss. At least they hadn't checked out yet and ran to the street to look for it.
Except for those who come to Lijiang with tour groups, they only go out at noon, and it is only lively in the evening!
The street was wet and empty, the shop doors were closed, the flowers, trees and lanterns on both sides of the street were inlaid with white edges. The sky was overcast and cold, and there was not a single ghost! Where could they run so early in the cold weather?
went?
The female bodyguard rubbed her cold hands, could she lose him right before her eyes?
Annoyed! Very annoyed!
The off-road vehicle had left the ancient city. He Huan held Long Teng's hand. A mountain peak stood in front of him, like the tip of a brush reaching into the sky.
"That's Wenbi Mountain."
“Very impressive.”
"Well. It's called Fuluna in Naxi, which means black and silver stone mountain. With an altitude of 4,350 meters, it is the second largest mountain among the mountains surrounding Lijiang Bazi, after Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Because it looks like a straight line pointing straight into the sky, it is also
It's called Wenbi Mountain.
In 1739, during the Qianlong period, the Four Treasures Dharma King went to Lijiang and built a temple in the hinterland of Wenbi Mountain. In 1828, the Daoguang Year, the main hall was rebuilt and called Sangnaga Zhuoling, which means the Lamasery of the secret religious holy land and the happy place.
, and later changed its name to Wenfeng Temple.
Wenfeng Temple has also become the highest institution of learning for Tibetan Buddhism in northwest Yunnan. Lamas must sit in the meditation hall here for three years at 3:03 on March 3 before they are qualified to preside over religious services.
Among Tibetan Buddhism in Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet, including Nepal, India and Myanmar, it is very influential. Now it is a sparsely populated cultural relic protection unit."
Long Teng nodded.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain facing the white-tipped pen, the off-road vehicle began to wind up the mountain. Although it was snowing, the trees were still dense and lush, inlaid with white edges. The air was cold and fresh, making the eyes feel cool and bright.
The road was relatively narrow and rough, and it was wet because of the snow. However, the local Naxi master still drove steadily.
They were the only one on the mountain road.
"There are really few people."
"This is a Tibetan Buddhist temple, so generally only locals who believe in Tibetan Buddhism come. There are no tourists and no tickets."
Winding up the mountainside, along a road like a jade belt covered with white snow around the mountainside, there is a group of temples with white walls, yellow tiles and red fences in the hinterland of the mountainside. After the snow, it looks like a bright painting with a white frame, and colorful prayer flags are floating in the cold wind.
It is fluttering gently in the middle and is very beautiful.
“It’s so beautiful!”
"Um."
The fairy also poked her head out of He Huan's down jacket.
Beautiful, tranquil, brilliant, solemn.
This is Wenfeng Temple.
Looking at this beautiful temple getting clearer and bigger, we arrived at the parking lot. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and those who burn incense and worship Buddha prefer the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. There is only one car with a local license plate parked in the empty parking lot.
After parking the car, Long Teng opened the door but didn't take another step.
He Huan also got out of the car, stood next to her, held her hand, and watched quietly with her.
This kind of beauty always makes people stop and admire it, instead of rushing towards it.
After a while, the two of them walked towards the temple. Their moods were very different, as if they were harboring some important people and wishes.
When I walked to the door of a room in front of the temple, I saw that the prayer tube inside was very large, and the decorations and murals on it were very gorgeous.
He Huan led her inside, which was magnificent and magnificent, and this prayer tube was even more magnificent.
"Let's turn together, clockwise."
"Yes." Long Teng's expression was solemn, fearing that something would go wrong.
He Huan looked at her and could see that her mother was very important to her.
After the two of them completed a circle, the bell above the prayer tube rang, covering the whole body and reaching into the soul. He Huan could not help but tremble, looking at Long Teng, who also turned to look at him, with an indescribable feeling. Maybe this is the Buddha.
Said: It cannot be said.
The first step was to feel the fate. Long Teng became even more solemn.
Such a Buddhist pure place hidden in the forest makes people want to take refuge in it involuntarily.
After coming out of the prayer room, the two of them walked clockwise along the many hall doors.
She had to take off her shoes in every palace. She was here to borrow the key, so she didn't need to go in every palace. He Huan led her through the outside.
Walking to a screen wall and looking at the murals on the screen, He Huan explained to Long Teng: "Lijiang is the southernmost point where Tibetan Buddhism spreads, and the northernmost point where Chinese Buddhism spreads. It is known that 'there are no monks going up to Lijiang, and there are no lamas coming down from Lijiang.
' said. So Lijiang became a place where Tibetan Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism merged.
If you look at the murals above, Central Plains cultural symbols appear in the characters and stories of Tibetan Buddhism. This is the result of the fusion of the two, and it also reflects the inclusiveness of Buddhism."
He Huan was telling the Buddhist stories on the murals. After hearing He Huan's explanation, the two locals came over with great interest, stood behind him, and listened to him carefully. After all, most people worship Buddha but do not understand it.
Especially in modern society, there are fewer people teaching the Bible and even fewer people who understand it.
A lama walked slowly by, suddenly stopped, and stood aside to listen quietly. After He Huan finished speaking, he walked up to him, clasped his hands together, and said, "Om Mani Pai Mi Hum."
He Huan also clasped his hands together and said, "Om Mani Hum."
He Huan did not know the name of this lama, but judging from his age and attire, he should be an eminent monk.
The two locals also clasped their hands and called him Guru, that is, eminent monk. Seeing that Guru was about to receive Xiao Bailong, they backed away.
"Is the donor here to worship Buddha or to visit?"
"Come and borrow the keys and take a tour."
"I will take you, please." The master turned sideways and led the way.
Long Teng looked at He Huan, just like at Zhonghe Temple in Cangshan Mountain. Because he knew the history and culture of Buddhism very well and had profound insights, he could always meet eminent monks to come out to receive him.
This is fate.
It just so happened that it was the first time for both of them to arrive and they didn’t know the way. It was better to have a guru to guide them now.
The two of them were sightseeing outside the temple before, but now the master took them into the temple. The two of them changed their slippers at the door. He Huan looked at the fairy, and the master smiled and said, "Donor please."
All living beings are equal, so it seems that they don't mind if they bring the cat in. The fairy is also very well-behaved, huddled in He Huan's down jacket, with only one head exposed, and does not make any noise or fuss.
The master didn't say anything. After entering, he gave them incense and stood aside. Miss Long followed He Huan's example of worshiping Buddha, taking it seriously and being very pious.
After worshiping the Buddha, the master smiled and said, "The donor is speaking."
This... Fortunately, I have something in my stomach! Sure enough, the eminent monk does not receive you casually. It would be embarrassing if you can't tell it.
He Huan began to explain who the Buddha was, what his origin was, and what the story was on the mural.
The master smiled slightly beside him and became more cheerful the more he listened.
Although there are many halls, the entire front part is called Maitreya Hall, so it still has a main body. He Huan talked around Maitreya Buddha.
Coming out of the Maitreya Hall, there is the Vajra Sea Mother Cave and the sacred stone hiding the key. It is also a temple complex. One is on the mountainside and the other is close to the top of the mountain. It takes ten minutes to drive and more than half an hour to walk.
Originally, He Huan planned to ask the teacher's driver to take them up, but seeing that the teacher wanted to walk, He Huan asked the driver to wait and walked with the teacher.
Taking the road is quite roundabout, so the guru took them to climb the mountain and take the small path. He Huan led Long Teng up the mountain. This was regarded as being favored by the guru. Let’s follow the practice. It was fun in the midst of suffering!
However, the scenery in the mountains is very beautiful, and it is not that painful. Now the master does not let him tell Buddhist stories, and asks them where they come from? Are they looking for a career? Are they looking for marriage? It's just like talking about everyday things.
He Huan answered, and Long Teng listened.
We walked on a small path and emerged from the woods. After more than 20 minutes, we finally saw another beautiful and glorious temple complex emerging from the forest.
Or even more beautiful, because the location and orientation are different, and you can't appreciate the magnificence here unless you come up.
The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain soared in front, and Lijiang Bazi had a panoramic view. The temples below were also clearly visible. The sea of writing was a deep blue. It turned out that the sky was already clear, and white clouds rolled up and piled up on the peaks around Lijiang Bazi, like lace surrounding a piece of blue.
The mirror reflects the beauty of Lijiang Bazi.
These sacred mountains are so gentle to Lijiang!
The three people and the cat stood there for a long time, silently.
Turning his head and looking at the beautiful temple embedded in the forest, He Huan continued to explain. This was not for the guru, but mainly for Miss Long.
He is her tour guide!
"In the Ming Dynasty, the Great Dharma Treasure Heavenly King was searching for a spiritual land in northwest Yunnan, but nothing came of it. When King Mu heard that the Great Dharma Treasure Heavenly King was coming, he invited him to come to Lijiang to give lectures.
The Great Dharma Treasure King was invited to Lijiang and found a cave here, shrouded in red light and full of spiritual energy. He called it the No. 1 spiritual cave in Nanzhan Buzhou.
Because the image of Vajrayogini is red, Vajrayogini was enshrined in the cave. It became the spiritual cave of Vajrayogini.
In the Qing Dynasty, the Four Heavenly Kings built a temple here. It was first called Wenfeng Temple.
Before the Great Dharma Treasure Heavenly King, it is said that Venerable Kasyapa gave a lecture here and left a key under a stone. This is the holy stone we are looking for.
So there are stones first, then caves, and then temples. Although there are different sects, there is one sect of Buddhism, and this is the inheritance."
The master smiled and nodded.
After worshiping at Vajrayami Cave and telling the story of Vajrayami, the master took them to Guanyin Hall and Padmasambhava Hall.
He Huan felt that he just wanted him to tell stories. But it was a sightseeing trip anyway. When you come to such a beautiful temple, you can't just take a quick look at it. It's still very meaningful to take a serious look and talk about it carefully.
Avalokitesvara is the representative image of Chinese Buddhism, and Padmasambhava is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism. This group of temples just clearly explains the origins of Chinese and Tibetan Buddhism.
After coming out of this temple complex, the master was satisfied and took them to the holy stone.
It was quite close here, and we walked there in a few minutes. As usual, the master gave them incense, and the two of them burned the incense and worshiped the holy stone. As if by magic, a golden key suddenly appeared in the master's hand and handed it to them.
"Thank you, Master." He Huan was overjoyed and quickly clasped his hands together, signaling Long Teng to take it.
Long Teng also thanked his master and took it, feeling as if he had found a treasure. This was a heavy real golden key with very exquisite carvings.
The two worshiped the holy stone again, and after their wishes came true, they came here to return the key.
