Lingyanshan Temple is one of the famous Buddhist pure land Dojo in China. At the same time, it is also a famous scenic spot in Ming Sheng at home and abroad. Located on the shore of Taihu Lake, adjacent to Mudu Town, which is 1/5 km southwest of Suzhou, the mountain is 220 meters above sea level. Commanding, lakes and mountains, spectacular. Because there were four stones, just like ganoderma lucidum, the mountain is named Lingyan; Nanlie Cliff is like a city, also known as Shicheng Mountain; It is also called Xiangshan, because the right turn of the mountain looks like a review.
Lingyan Mountain was originally the former site of Tingwa Palace in Fu Cha, the King of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was also the place where Xi Stone was enshrined in the State of Yue. At present, there are still no cash for the king's relics and monuments: Wuwangjing, dressing table, flower pond, moon pond, X Gallery, Qintai, Xishi Cave, bosom friend well, longevity pavilion, Fang Ting and so on. Emperor Kangxi, the holy ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Qianlong, the emperor of the Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty, built a palace on the top of the mountain, which was burned for ten years in Xianfeng, Qing Dynasty.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wukonglu once lived here. Because he heard about Buddhism, he built his house into a temple. Since then, it has become the beginning of Lingyan Dojo. During the period of Liang Wudi Tian Jian in the Southern Dynasties, Zhiji, a monk from the Western Regions, came to the temple to open a mountain, and gave a plaque to Zhiji Bodhisattva to show the Dojo. In the early Song Dynasty, it was changed to Xiufeng Temple. Shaoxing years, given plaque to show relatives, worship the temple. In the early years of Ming Hong, he gave a plaque to serve the country in Yongzuo Temple. Yongle was rebuilt in ten years and destroyed in Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty. In the sixth year of Qing Shunzhi, the monastery was rebuilt. In the 14th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi, Mu was ordered to rebuild the main hall, and Xianfeng was destroyed by fire for ten years. In the second year of Xuantong in Qing Dynasty, monk Zhenda took over as the abbot, and in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, he changed to Shifang to specialize in pure land Dojo, named Chongbao Temple. Later, Master Yin Guang still restored the old name of Lingyanshan Temple.
After the establishment of Lingyan Mountain, a large number of eminent monks emerged. The abbot between Jin and Tang dynasties didn't have an exam. Since the Song Dynasty, such as Song Yuanzhao, Ci Shou, Fohai, Shi Hu in the Yuan Dynasty and Hong Elementary School in the Qing Dynasty. , are famous monks. In the 15th year of the Republic of China, Zhuo Xiling, the 13th ancestor of Jing Zong, gave a lecture in Lindong, Lushan Mountain. After liberation, we conscientiously implemented the policy of freedom of religious belief of the Party and the people's government and protected Lingyanshan Temple. Monks' nets and agricultural and forestry production go hand in hand. The name of Lingyan Pure Land Dojo is well-known at home and abroad.
There are many places of interest in Lingyan Mountain. Wang Hao, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, once wrote an inscription on the top of the mountain, "Wuzhong Shengjing".
The temples are magnificent, including many pagodas, the Heavenly King Hall, the Ursa Major Hall, the Bell Tower, the Buddhist Temple, the Sutra Building, the living room and the Liao Fang in the Song Dynasty. The mountain road twists and turns, passing through Lu Ting, Ting, Ting and Shilou along the way. There are strange stones on the mountain, such as ganoderma lucidum stone, drunken monk stone, stone drum stone, steamed bread stone, cassock stone, mouse stone, mountain horse stone, turtle and so on; There is a piano platform at the top of the mountain and a Guanyin cave halfway up the mountain, commonly known as Xishi Cave. On the east side of the temple, there is a Lingyan Pagoda, also known as Multi Pagoda and Permanent Pagoda. It was founded in Tian Liang Prison for two years (AD 503) and rebuilt in Shaoxing in the 17th year of Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1 147). After liberation, several repairs were carried out. The tower is 33.4 meters high, with seven floors and eight sides, black tiles and yellow walls. It is simple and dignified, and it is integrated with the whole temple and becomes the symbol of Lingyan Mountain.
Celebrities in past dynasties have climbed Lingyan Mountain, such as Wen Di in the Southern Dynasty, Wei, Bai Juyi, etc., Fan Zhongyan, Song Shiyuan, Zhao, Tang Yin and Gao Qi in the Song Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, historian Bi Yuan and modern Tian Han and Deng Tuo, etc., all of which have poems and poems spread in the world.
I recorded five songs as follows.
Liang Jian Deng Wendi's poem towards the piano platform: After walking in the past, I want to play the piano again. The sound and capacity of the universal rubber spring will remain famous for thousands of years. Weak branches give birth to old trees, and old stones dye new streams. The reason is overlapping and joyful, and the passing Sichuan does not accept it.
Tang Bai Juyi's poem "Visiting Lingyan Temple": Gao Baiyue went to the green forest, and the guest went to the monk to stay overnight. Bloody can destroy wine, but only Rukoto can be dispelled by singing bells. There is nothing vulgar to see, but the sound of spring washes the heart. I love xiaoting, look east. Taihu Lake is green with smoke.
Song Shiyuan takes a look at Lingyan Mountain Residence: on Lingfeng, dusty and empty, Xia Han. The dream is green, and the temple tower is towering into the sky. Lingdongmen compete with each other, and Fang Shan Road bends. It's very secluded here. Why paint?
Wen Ming Zhiming Lingyan Peak Looking at Taihu Lake Poetry: Lingyan Mountain is in Xukou, and the sunset looks at Taihu Lake in the southwest. The two islands are like snails floating and spitting, and the sails and birds are gone. How can I talk about the past, but I don't see an expert trying. Be careful not to go near the waves, most of them are strange and vague.
The poem of Emperor Kangxi and Deng Lingyan, the sage of Qing Dynasty, said: The misty rain dissipates the spring smoke, and you can entertain yourself on the Cuifeng Mountain. Perfume is like a mirror, and the stone on the piano stand is like a fist. All the peaks were outside, and all the wells were before the battle of X. I heard that it was a place of flowers and plants in the palace of Wu, and I planted a feast for the Brahma King in my spare time.
Mudu Town: Mudu Town is located on the shore of Taihu Lake, at the foot of Lingyan Mountain and Tianping Mountain. It is an ancient garden town in China with a history of more than 2,500 years, with profound Wu culture and beautiful scenery.
