Master Renda built Zhengjue Temple.

Boshan Zhengjue Temple is located in Lianhua Mountain, Shore Village, Boshan District, Zibo City, Shandong Province. It was founded in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Great virtues of eminent monks in past dynasties, such as Bao Zhigong, a Liang Wudi eminent monk, Sancan, a Zen eminent monk, and Daoxin, the fourth ancestor, all became monks or lived in tin for practice. It was the founder Dojo that played an important role in the history of Buddhism. Due to historical reasons, this thousand-year-old temple was destroyed. During his missionary work in Boshan, the mage was deeply saddened by the decline of the ancestral court. Under the prayers of local believers, the mage vowed to repair the ancestral Dojo and revitalize the ancestral home. The local government agreed to return 126 mu of land free of charge and resume the construction of Zhengjue Temple (the registration number of this religious activity place is "Zongchang Zhengzi (0 1)"). The master personally drew up a temple building plan of "strictly observing the precepts, adhering to the Buddhism, popularizing all beings and revitalizing Buddhism", and planned to build a releasing pond, a mountain gate, a heavenly king hall, a Mahayana hall, three temples, a Buddhist scripture collection hall, a Guanyin hall, a Tibetan temple, a Manjusri hall, a Pu Xian hall, a bell tower, a drum tower, a meditation hall, a Luohan hall, a lecture hall and a Buddha recitation hall.

The mage personally drew up the couplets at the gate of Zhengjue Temple. The first part is: it has been widely promoted for three times, and there is nothing inside, looking up at the strict sacred land of China; The bottom line is: ten families share the responsibility, without you and without me, hand in hand with the exquisite door of Mailing Mountain. The master said, "Zhengjue Temple has no portal view. It learns Buddha in full accordance with the teachings of Sakyamuni Buddha in order to become a Buddha at an early date. What Buddhism to learn is a personal foundation and fate. No matter what sects, as long as they are true practitioners, they are welcome to live permanently. In the future, Zhengjue Temple will manage the temple with modern scientific and technological achievements, train monks and talents according to the three commandments of abstinence from wisdom, and strive to build Zhengjue Temple into a ten-square jungle Dojo that strictly abides by the commandments and promotes Buddhism. " Someone asked why such a large-scale temple was built in Shandong, and the master lamented, "Shandong is one of the least prosperous areas of Buddhism in China. At present, there are more than 80 million people in more than 30 counties (cities) in the province/kloc-0, but there are less than 20 Buddhist temples and less than 100 monks. Every time we discuss this, people in the church are sad and cry! Building a temple can deeply plant virtue, widely plant Futian, continue Buddha's wisdom and benefit all beings. This was once an important ancestral Dojo in the history of Buddhism in China. Since I accepted the request of the layman at that time, no matter how difficult it is, I will go on and build the temple as perfect as the law. "

Mages in their sixties are not afraid of difficulties, avoid adversity, endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. At the beginning of the preparation, there was a lack of funds, weak personnel and many obstacles. The mage is running around, obeying Pu Xian's wishes and paying with his life. The mage drew blood from his veins, and asked famous calligraphers to copy more than 30 scriptures, such as The Wishing Sutra of the Tibetan King and Bodhisattva, King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra, Amitabha Sutra, Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra, and thousands of other scriptures, such as the southern six-character Daming Mantra and Amitabha Buddha, to build the temple. Over the past few years, regardless of age, the mage has drawn more than 65,438+0,000 milliliters of blood, praying for the kindness and quilts of all buddhas and bodhisattvas with his life and repaying the great virtues of all parties. With the completion of the main projects of Luohan Hall and Zen Hall, the main project of Daxiong Hall is about to start, and tens of millions of funds are in front of Master Renda. Regardless of his 66-year-old age, the mage took 150 ml of blood again to copy the Shurangama Sutra, and became attached to charity, so as to build the Hall of Ursa Major as soon as possible.

Get up at 4 o'clock every morning and rest at 1 1 at night. The master is a big and small thing, and everything is bad. It is necessary to receive laymen coming and going from all over the country, answer their questions, preside over the Fa Conference, raise funds for temple construction, plan the construction of Zhengjue Temple, negotiate with the construction team on the civil construction scheme, negotiate the project price, supervise the project quality, urge and criticize the slow work in the construction, personally go to Jiuhua Mountain to order Buddha statues, go down the mountain to buy building materials, repair fax machines, have computers repaired, and report to the Shandong Buddhist Association. It is also necessary to coordinate hydropower issues with Anshang Village where the temple is located ... The conditions of the temple are difficult and there are few people. These things need to be solved by the master one by one. As soon as the master has time, he will go to the construction site to cart the earth, carry tiles, and even climb to the top of the temple to set up scaffolding, which is deeply rooted in the founder's legacy of "not working for a day, not eating for a day". Even in the process of blood drawing, the mage does not rest, regardless of dizziness and tired blood drawing reaction, and often gets up and goes to work as soon as he draws blood. The mage's devotion to the selfless Pu Xian made all laity believers cry!

There are many obstacles in the process of building a temple. Mr. Ren works hard and never complains. Like an iron man, he worked tirelessly and kept improving. He is always in a good mood and looks confident. Asked if the master was tired, the master said, "I am not tired to work for Buddha and Bodhisattva." Asked if he was afraid of the difficulties and hardships of fund-raising, the master said, "No, all the buddhas and bodhisattvas have arranged it, so just do it." With this indomitable, optimistic and enterprising spirit, Master Renda led his disciples to open up a flat land in central Shandong and build a temple for afforestation. Without the support of government funds, the grand blueprint of Zhengjue Temple was spread out step by step in the beautiful Lotus Mountain. ...

In recent years, the planning project of Zhengjue Temple has been gradually completed, but it is still far from the planning goal of the temple. There is a serious shortage of personnel and funds, but as a master, he has no regrets, but he has been frustrated repeatedly and strengthened. In order to pray for the blessing of Buddhists and Bodhisattvas, and to fulfill the great wish of worshipping Wutai Mountain thousands of miles before becoming a monk, the master began to worship Buddha from Guanyin Hall of Zhengjue Temple on February 2, 2005 (Pu Xian's birthday), and embarked on the road of fulfilling the Buddha's vows.

During the journey, the mage abides by the five precepts: one, three steps and one worship, without taking a few steps, a lot of bumps on one head; Second, hold the money circle and not be supported by money; Third, don't go into restaurants and hotels; Fourth, don't enter hotels and guesthouses; Fifth, don't enter the bedroom of a believer's home.

On the way up the mountain, the mage suffered a lot, but he still ate for a while. The 64-year-old mage completed the whole journey with strong perseverance with firm belief in Buddha and Bodhisattva and broad compassion for all sentient beings. At that time, he and Li Junju of Xiang talked about all kinds of past events on the way to worship the mountain, and still burst into tears. He preached: When the Master arrived in Zhengding County, it was getting hotter and hotter. The ground temperature is as high as 50 degrees, the asphalt road is steaming, and it feels very hot when walking on the road. But the mage didn't stop and kept worshipping, which led to fire in the body and swollen gums. At the same time, the hot gas on the road also made the mage's eyes bloodshot and black, but the mage still didn't stop. It was not until the toothache was unbearable that I decided to go to the hospital for tooth extraction. The doctor said that the tooth swelling could not be pulled out, but the mage decided to pull it out in order not to delay worship. After three days and nights, I couldn't eat, but the mage didn't stop worshipping. After Lingshou County, we arrived at Hengshan Lake, and the weather was even hotter, so the fire of the mage could not come down. The mage took three yellow tablets, twelve tablets at a time, three times a day, so that he had diarrhea due to overdose, but the mage continued to worship without rest. Often because of diarrhea, Li Junju got his pants dirty. When he was resting, he rushed over to help the mage wash them.

Finally, on July 23rd of the same year, the master came to the mountain. The pilgrimage to this mountain lasted more than five months and traveled more than 2000 miles. Although the journey was hard, the master carried forward Buddhism all the way.

After facing the mountain, the mage felt it and wrote a poem "Facing the Mountain":

Kiss the earth with your head

If the heart stops drinking water.

Worship thousands of miles

have neither complaint nor regret

Will it?

It doesn't matter if iron shoes are sad.

Turbid sweat turns into mud, which is good for health.

Niushangnanshan

Ma Zou ping chuan

Five, the lotus is in full bloom.

Devotional practice, induction of Taoism, Zhengjue Temple has been auspicious since its preparation. The foundations of the Hall of Great Heroes and pagodas have been dug up with auspicious five-color soil. Laymen from all over the country who come to worship, live and practice often see lotus flowers in full bloom in the sky, Buddha and Bodhisattva in the sky, Buddha's light shining and silk flower in full bloom. Some laymen were blessed by the Buddha's power after attending the Dharma meeting or volunteering in Zhengjue Temple, and many miracles appeared: the cancer that was declared dead gradually recovered, the tumor the size of an egg disappeared, and the headache for 30 years was cured without medication ... In order to stop the disciples of Master Renda from adhering to the teacher's teachings, they strictly completed their homework, diligently gave alms, stopped practicing for six degrees, and honed, grew and practiced with Master in the process of building the temple.

With the support of the government, the blessing of buddhas and bodhisattvas, and the efforts of mages and believers, Zhengjue Temple, like a lotus in bud, is gradually blooming in the birthplace of Qilu culture. As a result, the leadership of Anshang Village has also re-planned the development blueprint and planned to build Lotus Mountain into a famous Buddhist culture.

Dong Zhenhua, executive deputy secretary-general of Shandong Buddhist Association, praised Zhengjue Temple many times: "Judging from the present scale and future development, Zhengjue Temple will undoubtedly be a larger temple in Shandong. I checked the map carefully. The stupa of Zhengjue Temple is basically located in the middle of Shandong, and the topography around Zhengjue Temple is also very good. Its city is the center of Qilu culture in Shandong. There are many famous monks in Zibo in history, and Master Ren built Zhengjue Temple through his last wish, which will make Shandong Buddhism start in Ludongxing. " He praised Master Renda's practice and his wishes, saying: "Master Renyun has great influence and appeal among believers in recent years. The construction of Zhengjue Temple has won the support of the whole province, the whole country and even overseas believers. In the Shandong Buddhist Association, from the chairman, Master Juezhao, to all the staff, we fully support the construction of Zhengjue Temple and thank the believers at home and abroad for their support. The Provincial Buddhist Association expects Zhengjue Temple to make greater contributions to the development of Buddhism in Shandong in the future. "

In July 2007, the story of Master Ren's asceticism in building a temple reached the ears of Elder Ben Huan, who was 10 1 year old, and he affirmed and encouraged his practice. The old man said, "It's not simple or rare to worship Buddha once to destroy river sand and to recite Buddha once to increase happiness. He can be heartfelt and worship in three steps. " We are disciples of Buddha now. Since we are disciples of the Buddha, we should learn from him. We set about building a temple. There are Buddhist treasures, magic weapons and monk treasures in the temple. It's incredible. This temple was not built in a day and a night, but in a year and a half, hundreds of years and thousands of years. There are countless sentient beings who come to plant Futian and grow into the seeds of King Kong. How amazing and rare it is. How rare it is, then I will encourage him to make a heart, that is, I will make a vow to build a temple, and I must insist on it and build it. If we can't succeed now, we must make up our minds to succeed. We must finish our work. This is because we are sincere because of the land, and it is because we are not sincere because of the land. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, we must persist in success. Everything is man-made, and man can create everything. Today, we have the intention to build a temple. This kind of fortune is incredible. Since there is such a good blessing, we must seriously make a big heart until we become a Buddha. "

Master Yin Shun, a master of Hongfa Temple who has known Master Ren for many years, also praised: "I think it is very remarkable that Master Ren can build this Dojo with such great efforts in a place like Shandong. I hope all our young people can learn from Master Renda, all the Buddhist circles in Shandong can learn from Master Renda, and all the young wizards in our country can learn from him. I believe he will succeed! " Master Ren was ashamed and moved by all the praise and encouragement. He said that he was just an ordinary monk, and his knowledge and practice were hard to say. Everything he does is the duty of a monk. However, he will certainly live up to the expectations of the eminent monk and devote himself to the cause of Buddhism.
