"This place was called the Buddhist Kingdom in ancient times, and the streets are full of saints." -Zhu Xi
"There are many temples in southern Fujian. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the king's ministers have been Tanna, and the houses have donated hundreds of millions of properties." -The Collection of Thin Pines
Quanzhou is known as the "Buddhist Country in the South of the Spring". Since ancient times, famous temples have been everywhere, and eminent monks have come forth in large numbers. Qingshui Rock in Nan 'an is a thousand-year-old temple located on Yujin Mountain in Honglai, Quanzhou, the Buddhist country.
Qingshui Rock in Nan 'an, formerly known as Torinji, is located in Yujin (Pillow) Mountain, Jixin Village, Honglai Town. It was built in the Tang Dynasty (618 97) and in the Song and Qing Dynasties (141 148), and was rebuilt by the monk Yongzuo. During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), it was rebuilt and renamed Qingshui Rock, which was dedicated to the founder of Qingshui.
The founder of Qingshui, a native of Xiaogu Township, Yongchun County, Quanzhou, Song Dynasty, was conferred the title of "Master Zhao Ying Guang Hui Tzu Chi Shan Li" by Song Ting for four times, and the people in southern Fujian admired him like a living Buddha. Qingshuiyan Temple is surrounded by a jade pillow, and the water is around the tiger creek. More importantly, the founder of Qingshui is famous for protecting the environment and the people. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has been more than 1, years. During this period, it has promoted the Dharma, promoted the Brahma Monastery, and promoted the generation of teachers, which can be described as a generation. There are records in Nan 'an County Records and Quanzhou Prefecture Records, and many scholars and poets chant, and many historical sites still exist today. A thousand-year-old temple, with a vivid history, was founded here by the Huang family in Yanshan, and all the ancestors of the past dynasties were honored by later generations for protecting Qingshuiyan Temple. Qingshui Rock was repaired once in Jiaxu, Tongzhi, Qing Dynasty (1874), and in the 2th year of the Republic of China (1931), the abbot, Zen Master Ruiliang, rebuilt the temple, with a slight scale, which was once abandoned and damaged during the Cultural Revolution. In recent years, with the generous donations of local wise gentry, good men and women, the reconstruction and expansion of Qingshui Rock has begun to take shape and incense has flourished again.
touring Qingshui Rock
Yujin Mountain is majestic, with the sky on the top and the tiger creek on the bottom. The ancient trees are grey, the clear spring is trickling, and the mountains and rivers are wonderful. It is really a natural paradise and won the love of the local gentry and people.
When you turn around the mountain road, you will suddenly be enlightened between the mountains and the heavy waters. The Qingshuiyan Mountain Gate is in sight, and an ancient and serene breath strikes, which suddenly makes people feel clean, and their thoughts disappear. Only the solemnity and grandeur of the Buddhist holy land are in their hearts.
Walking up the stairs, Maitreya Buddha greeted with a smile, and the four heavenly kings were on both sides. Maitreya is merciful, welcoming all sentient beings into the world, and the king is majestic, shocking the magic army and ensuring the peace of the people.
The steps are 118, leading to the Buddhist kingdom and releasing the world of mortals. There are many Buddhists, and all beings have Buddha nature. Whether to further become a Buddha and make the ancestors escape from reincarnation forever, or to take a step back and fall into the world of mortals, and to perform the separation of life and death is all in one thought.
when you step into the mountain gate, a breeze blows against your face. In the center of the open Qingshui Square, the great ancestors of Qingshui sit in a staggered way, majestic and with drooping eyes, and their hands are sealed, as if they have been here for thousands of years, silently guarding this people with their supreme magic.
Throughout his life, the founder of Shimizu "takes material interests as the foundation and helps people as his ambition", leaving many stories about repairing bridges and roads, practicing medicine to help the people, praying for rain and eliminating disasters, which are widely circulated in folk and official history books.
According to legend, the founder of Qingshui is very powerful, and he is protected by his four generals. Everything in the dust can't get close to him. The temple where I live is full of Buddha's light, and the roof is not touched. Even in the season of falling leaves, there seems to be a fairy wind blowing away the dead branches and leaves falling from the roof, making them clear again. Immortal, spotless, very strange.
In the Jade Pillow Mountain behind the temple, there is also the legend of "lobster eye".
according to legend, the founder of Qingshui, who is hosted by Tuomeng Temple, is hiding in the East China Sea to practice lobster for thousands of years. If he wants to go to Penglai Fairy Mountain to worship his master, he will pass by Yuzhen Mountain. If you can get the lobster's eye saliva, you can drive away all diseases and prolong life.
On that day, the people along the way set out the fruits of the incense table, offering incense and begging on their knees, which was unprecedented. Lobster god stayed in the air, lifted up his eyes and looked down, deeply moved by the pious heart of the people, and determined to come to the back of the ancient temple to benefit the people.
As a result, the lobster god came to the back of the temple, and his eyes gushed endlessly, turning into the legendary "lobster eye". From then on, anyone who visits the ancestors of Qingshuiyan Temple in Xiangxiang will take lobster spring to drink, pray for peace and drive away all diseases, and lobster spring has also become the source of drinking water for monks in the temple.
Behind the founder of Qingshui is the Great Hall, with the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Jinlu North Cloister and Jin Lu South Cloister on both sides. Around the square are the Dizang Hall, Guanyin Hall and Manjusri Hall hidden among the mountains, as well as various pavilions, garden buildings and famous trees and flowers, among which there is a huge release pool, in which stands a Guanyin, solemn and compassionate, silently guarding all beings.
In recent years, these are local country gentry, supported by good men and faithful women, and built with the contribution of * * *, which shows that the local Buddhist beliefs have been deeply rooted in people's hearts and passed down from generation to generation.
it is worth mentioning that the ancestral temple behind the temple has a quiet and ancient courtyard. The osmanthus trees and fragrant trees in the courtyard are more than 1 years old, swaying and full of vitality under the breeze.
on the curtain of the ancestral temple, there are some beautiful words inscribed, such as "the sound of the Qing dynasty is clear, the wind is ringing, and the impression of the pool is bright in the moon", "the clear rhyme occasionally makes flowers bloom, and the sound of water can match the bell before the Buddha", and "the wind is the original face, and the water moon is now in the body", all of which are in line with the artistic conception of clear water, making people feel very cool to read.
carved bluestone handrails are hollowed out on the stone steps in front of the temple, which set off each other with the ancient red doorpost, making it beautiful without losing its simplicity. On both sides of the corridor, the calligraphy lettering with Zen meaning, such as "Everything is empty", is visible; On the door leaf in front of the temple, the painted flowers, birds, stones and beasts are lifelike. Here, as long as you pay attention, there are scenery everywhere.
I love mountains and rivers all my life.
it's too late to revisit the preparation period.
it's cold and rainy in the temple, and it's a few branches in the morning.
As I have seen, the pool is full of white lotus.
this is a tour of Torinji written by Huang Tao, a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. The past people have passed away for thousands of years, and only the shackles of the white clouds and the morning bell and the evening drum in Qingshuiyan, Nan 'an still haunt the hearts of the local people, inheriting compassion, kindness and sincere belief in Buddhism and Bodhisattva.
Pilgrimage to Qingshuiyan Temple is like standing at the crossroads leading to Buddhism and the world of mortals. On the one hand, there is a thousand-year-old Sanskrit voice, which leads all beings to the pure land of bliss, and on the other hand, there are all kinds of temptations in the world of mortals. Once you enter the world of mortals, it is as deep as the sea, and one wrong step is the reincarnation of millions of people.
looking back, we can see the green hills and the gentle breeze on both sides, and the clouds are surging like a dream, and when the fake is true, it is also false, and inaction is everywhere. I think it's not difficult to choose. The Buddha says that all beings have Buddha nature. Since we have come to the holy land of the Buddha country, why not burn a heart incense and worship the Buddha for the first three times? From now on, no matter how many waters in Qian Shan, the soul always has a place to return. ......
