However, due to worldly affairs, paranoia, difficulties in making progress and almost losing confidence, Teacher Song organized a study tour of Dongzhen Temple in Linqu, and he was happy to accompany him while longing for it.
My relationship with Buddha is very shallow. Take advantage of the trend to forget your vision, go against the trend and cram for the Buddha's feet, put practicality first and rely on piety. Hearing this Taoist temple, my interest doubled. Buddhism practices the afterlife, while Taoism practices this life. The afterlife is unpredictable and acceptable in this life. Being close to Taoism is more to my liking.
It's early summer, with lush vegetation, birds and flowers, sunny and sunny. Get rid of the tedious work, be born free and easy, be happy inside, be wild, and be quick!
Linqu and I are strangers, and all I can remember is mutton. At the invitation of teachers and friends, I took a nap in Yishan yard. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is lush and has the quiet beauty of Jiangnan water town. Living for a long time has made people feel alienated from "I would rather die of old age than bow my head."
I live in Miaodongxi Town College at night. The standard quadrangle, with red walls and grey tiles and carved beams and painted buildings, is extremely neat and awe-inspiring. It is also pleasant and warm.
Academies began in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty, and most of them were overloaded. Being in a high position in the temple or far away from the rivers and lakes, living in seclusion as an official, can criticize the current abuses, influence state affairs, and even control ideology. So there are many people in history of qing dynasty, and Yuelu and Lin Dong are the first. Dongzhen Academy became famous late. Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi all gave lectures and wrote poems here, making it famous all over the world. Now is the place where my painting and calligraphy colleagues practice.
Baidu learned that the theory of five towns began in "Zhou Li". One mountain in Dongzhen, Huiji Mountain in Nanzhen, Huoshan Mountain in Zhongzhen, Wushan Mountain in Xizhen, and Yiwulu Mountain in Beizhen are equally famous as Wuyue Mountain. Today, the five mountains are proud of the world, but the five towns are little known, which is very regrettable. Yishan ranks first among the five towns, and Dongzhen Temple is famous for Yishan.
In the morning, several teachers and friends walked north along the courtyard of Xihaoer, halfway up the mountain, looking back and looking far, surrounded by mountains, echoing high and low, with the trend of meeting in the valley of Kowloon. Dongzhen Temple sits in it, with stacked halls, facing south and symmetrical east and west, which is spectacular.
For thousands of years, emperors have come here to worship Zen, and some scholars have inscribed poems as fu. As a result, the stele became a forest, where seal characters, officials, lines and patterns all gathered, each with its own characteristics, and it was unique in calligraphy research. Teacher Wang studied it carefully, and the book lovers slowly appreciated it, infiltrated it and benefited a lot.
There are several ancient trees in the courtyard, reaching into the sky, comparable to Jinci Temple. Tang Huai Bai Han, stand side by side, ginkgo and cypress, win glory.
Tang Huai, after thousands of years of cold and heat, suffered several disasters, withered inside and hard outside, withered up and prospered below, flourishing with branches and leaves, dying of old age and illness. There are even dead branches standing in the clouds, such as fairy meditation, chanting and preaching, full of weather and double aura. This Tang Huai has withered for several years. When the ancient temple was rebuilt, it was full of vitality. Full of green is even more legendary.
Iron cypress comes from Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, its wood is exposed and enduring, and its light buckle is like iron tintin, hence the name. Ginkgo biloba was originally hermaphrodite, but later the male plant was cut down, and the female plant only blossomed without fruit. After the male plant was born, the mother and son lived together, and Ginkgo biloba could be resurrected, which was amazing.
There are several Taoist priests in the temple who devote themselves to practice, don't care about poverty and wealth, transcend the fetters of the world of mortals, and make secular people admire them. Sun Daochang is one of them. He became a monk at the age of 26 and became a Taoist priest for 18 years. From youth and high spirits to quiet middle age, how can it be painful to be as warm as jade and an ancient Buddha? However, if you are willing to enjoy it, you will realize that people are different and want different things.
Visit Dongzhen Temple and feel the holy water of Lingshan. Everything rises and falls, and it has its own dry Kun. I want to think deeply and be in awe, so that I can go through the vicissitudes of life and laugh at the world of mortals!
This article is a mess, I don't know what to say, it makes people laugh and be generous!
