Chapter 825: The appearance of all living beings
As the leader of Buddhism in the world today, Kasyapa Temple is undoubtedly the most solemn and grand. For thousands of years, there have been countless battles between the righteous way and the demonic sect. In fact, the Buddhist Kasyapa Temple has not been seriously affected. After so many battles, the battlefield
It has never been on Mount Sumeru, which has allowed Kasyapa Temple to have a relatively peaceful and stable development environment for thousands of years.
Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak, originally called Great Compassion Peak, is one with Avalokitesvara Peak. There are two major Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, Great Compassion Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The so-called Great Compassion Bodhisattva is the one who is worshiped by the world and holds a bottle of pure water and jade dew.
The very feminine Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
About a thousand years ago, Cangyun Sect began to decline, and sects such as Kayaba Temple, Piao Miao Pavilion, and Xuantian Sect rose rapidly. The abbot of Kayaba Temple at that time changed the name of Dabei Peak to Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak, which means Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaosong.
It indicates that Kasyapa Temple will be the first Buddhist temple.
It only took the eminent monk more than a hundred years to realize his wish. Ancient temples such as Jixiang Temple on Bodhi Mountain and Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai became very powerful during the Yecha Rebellion eight hundred years ago.
After the loss, Buddhism replaced Qingliang Temple and became the leader among Buddhist temples in the world.
Starting from the foot of the tall Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak, there are splendid temples everywhere. I used to hear that Buddhist monks were very poor even though they were eating fast and chanting Buddha's name. It was only after Ye Xiaochuan went to Jishian Temple in Langya Mountain ten years ago that he discovered that Buddhist monks were poor.
The explanation is clumsy and nonsense. The gold paint on each Buddha statue was painted several times for free. In order to ensure the solemn look, the glazed tile roofs are all golden. When the sun shines, the golden light shines brightly, just like the light of the Buddha.
If he said that the tile roof was not painted twice with gold paint, Ye Xiaochuan would not believe it even to death.
The other thing is sandalwood, which is as expensive as the cinnabar used by Taoists. As a result, in order to calm down and purify desires, Buddhist disciples always like to light a pinch of Zen incense beside them when chanting sutras. Not a few things rise in the small incense burner.
The green smoke is all white money.
Unlike Cangyun Sect and other sects, the Mahavira Hall of Kasyapa Temple is not on the top of the mountain, but on the mountainside of Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak. From a distance, it looks like a golden heavenly palace standing on the mountainside, which makes people look up.
Ye Xiaochuan murmured in his heart, how much money would this cost?
The power of believers is terrifying, just like the devotion of the demon sect disciples and the people of the Western Regions to the Holy Mother of Demons. The people in the Middle Earth mainly believe in Taoism and Taoism, Taishang Laojun, and Buddhism. Sakyamuni. Taoism and Taoism
Fortunately, those Taoist temples are basically located in the sacred mountains and old forests, and are rarely open to mortals.
Buddhism doesn't care about this. Temples are often open to ordinary believers. The merit box in front of the door is probably not big. If you want to ask for a marriage lottery, you will need to add some sesame oil money to read it.
For example, ten years ago, Yang Dashan, the father of Yang Shijiu, because Xuanhui Divine Nun cured his only son's strange disease, Yang Dashan did not hesitate to spend tens of thousands of dollars to build the Medicine Master Temple for Ji Shi'an, even if the Langya Immortal Sect was causing trouble.
, it can’t change Yang Dashan’s attitude of fulfilling his wish.
In view of this, Ye Xiaochuan glanced at Liu Jie and Jie Se who were behind Jie Kong and others, and it was no wonder why these two guys were so fat.
Arriving at Kasyapa Temple in the morning, Jiekong and others led a group of people up the long stone steps from the mountainside. While walking, they introduced the scenery of Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak to Ye Xiaochuan and others.
At this time, Ye Xiaochuan discovered that Kasyapa Temple was so big and the buildings and temples were very dense. From time to time, groups of bald monks could be seen, carrying a pointed-bottomed wooden bucket in one hand and holding it horizontally on the way up the mountain.
The steps on the stone steps are as fast as flying.
On the cliffs on both sides, you can see cliff carvings everywhere. Statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva that clearly have the image of a foreigner are lifelike in the grottoes on the stone wall, each one larger than the other.
Passing by a grotto, a group of fairies were chirping into it. Seeing that it was still early, Jie Kong asked everyone to take a look inside this large grotto.
Ye Xiaochuan raised his head and looked at the three large gilt characters on the grotto: The appearance of all living beings.
His heart moved, and he already understood what was inside this big grotto.
When I walked in and took a look, I saw on the stone walls on both sides of the rather huge artificial grotto, there was a dragon gate stone carving about two or three feet tall. The entire grotto was densely packed, and there were at least two to three thousand stone carvings.
The most amazing thing is that these stone sculptures include men and women, old and young, but none of them have the same appearance and demeanor.
Jiekong smiled and said: "This is the statue of three thousand sentient beings. Each statue has 3,633 different appearances. It is said that everyone can find a statue that is very similar to his own appearance among the three thousand sentient beings. Everyone, please
It’s rare for a friend to come here, so why not look for something here.”
Everyone became interested, dispersed in twos and threes, and began to look for stone sculptures similar to their own in the grotto with their necks raised.
Suddenly, Xiaochi burst into laughter, pointed at a small stone sculpture of Maitreya Buddha with a big belly and a cute bald head, and shouted: "Liujie, Liujie... Come and take a look, I have found your past life!"
Everyone turned around and looked, and sure enough, they felt that the small stone sculpture that Xiaochi found was similar to Liu Jie. Liu Jie was known as the funny weirdo, the funniest one, he smiled like Maitreya Buddha all day long, but he was 80% similar to the stone sculpture.
Liujie couldn't laugh now. He was very embarrassed. He hid his face and ran away. His expressions were exaggerated and his actions were funny, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Gu Pan'er dragged Ye Xiaochuan to look at a small stone sculpture with a very funny expression. It must be exactly the same as Ye Xiaochuan. Ye Xiaochuan is so grand. What is the look in this woman's eyes? She has a majestic appearance. How could she be exactly the same as the grinning guy above?
In order to retaliate against Gu Pan'er, Ye Xiaochuan finally found a statue of an ugly girl. It must be said that this ugly girl was very similar to Gu Pan'er, but Gu Pan'er was provoked to chase her around in the grotto.
Not to mention, the three thousand statues of living beings in Kasyapa Temple are much more comprehensive than the five hundred living beings in Jishi Temple, and everyone actually found some stone sculptures that looked very similar to their own.
Chang Xiaoman found a dull and honest little stone sculpture, which looked very similar to his man Zhao Wuji. Zhu Changshui and others also found a stone sculpture that was almost exactly the same as themselves, which aroused everyone's amazement.
Ye Xiaochuan searched for a long time and couldn't find anyone similar to himself. He was a little depressed. When he saw Yun Qiyou staring at a stone wall in a daze, he walked over and followed Yun Qiyou's eyes and was shocked.
A statue of a man with an extraordinary appearance, an evil smile on his lips, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that are designed to seduce women, is looking at him with a half-smile. And beside this statue of a man, there is a very beautiful, but
A stone sculpture of a woman with an extremely cold expression and a chill all over her body.
