1. I walked into the church and set foot on the first steps covered with snow. I stared at the clear water carving of each red brick. The exquisite masonry made every detail extremely exquisite and could stand the vicissitudes of a hundred years. I watched every arch, arch wall and dome support of her, all of which touched the grandeur of the building and pursued a longing attention. I look up at the green spherical spire on her solemn and elegant wall. She is a masterpiece of Byzantine art and Baroque style.
2. Through the tall ribbed arch window of the church, you can see the wide vault, the blue and vast sky, and the dazzling rays of sunlight enter the window lattice at will. The colorful flower window screens are dazzling, and the sunshine once enveloped all beings with its brilliant veil. A great building with outstanding cultural achievements, although it has lost the careful care of human beings, has been transformed into a delicate and gorgeous creation similar to her own by the magical power of nature, so it is destined to become an immortal thing of nature.
3. My first intimate contact with the church was on the Red Square in Moscow, far away from Wan Li. When I visited Eastern Europe in the mid-198s, because there was no direct flight, I had to go back and forth through Moscow, and the first-class flight took nearly a week, so I stayed at the China Embassy in the Soviet Union. The embassy arranges special buses to visit Red Square twice a week. When I stood in the dreamy Red Square, the first thing I saw was Vasily Ascension Cathedral at the southern end of Red Square! I was deeply shocked by the towering nine towers and the glittering cathedral dome.
4. Tolerance and great love are the same reasons why all religions let believers find a sense of spiritual belonging. All dependence is attached to faith, and the difficulties in life are pinned on spiritual wealth. Without faith, life may lose its important consciousness support. I think Su Dongpo, who stood out from the encirclement at the beginning, "He is ruthlessly stripping away every inch of his alien ingredients, even though these ingredients have brought him office, honor and reputation." He gradually returned to purity and emptiness. In this process, Buddhism helped him a lot and made him accustomed to being indifferent and calm. " Perhaps this is the reason why more and more people in China join various church organizations.
5. The church stands between heaven and earth in a solidified form, like an exquisitely carved sculpture, like a magical mountain. People listen to the melodious bells of the church, recite scriptures, cling to the warmth of the sun in their hearts, and pray for the attachment of fate. I don't know why, I felt a strong collision in my heart, and the softest place in my heart was awakened by the light of the gods. This may be a kind of emotion, or it may be an emotion that can only be experienced by being there.
6. Although I have no religious belief, being in the rich and quiet scene of the church, I seem to see the wandering figure in the church in the past, and see the magnificent landscape and prayer scenes. People who are lonely in the gloom and dark night, no matter who they are, powerful, rich, poor, old or young, are full of solemn and peaceful expressions in front of God on those sacred days.
7. This quiet and solemn temple interacts with the images in people's minds, which stimulates the depths of human nature and makes people's insurmountable meditation integrated with this solemn temple. The remains of human power always arouse in our hearts a sense of awe and solemnity! Just like rivers, thunder and volcanoes, there is an elf hidden in the magical power of nature, which makes our hearts stir and worship.
8. It's a relatively large open church I've ever seen. Smiling nuns come in and out, and the huge space inside can be heard when they speak louder. In the middle of the cross of Jesus, the Virgin Mary stands on the right with her child in her arms, and various religious images are painted on the towering windows. The quiet space makes people who enter slow down, silence their voices and calm their minds.
9. I first felt the story of the church deeply, which was Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris. "Notre Dame de Paris, the church, is undoubtedly still a solemn and lofty building. Although it is so old, it is still beautiful ... On every stone, you can see the wonderful work of the artist's genius, which leaps out in thousands of postures. A kind of human creativity is as strong and rich as God's creativity, as if there are two kinds of characters, truth and eternity. "
