What should I pay attention to when I go to Wutai Mountain?

Wutai Mountain, located in Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, is a Buddhist Dojo, one of the top ten famous mountains in China and the first of the four famous mountains in China. It is also the Dojo of Bodhisattva Li, a great intellectual in southern China. Whether it is its religious culture or historical culture, it has a unique charm. The following are matters that should be paid attention to when going to Wutai Mountain.

1, notes

If you don't go to road trip, it's more expensive to go to Wutai Mountain by yourself than to go with a group.

Wutai Mountain is located in Xinzhou, Shanxi, and there is Wutai Mountain Airport, but there are not many routes.

Free travel, whether it is the round-trip fare or the admission fee paid in the mountains, is much more expensive than traveling with a group.

Therefore, most tourists will choose to travel with a group, and the price is really cheap. We chose a two-day and one-night tour, including round-trip fare, bus fare, tickets, accommodation and catering. The price is less than 300 yuan per person.

To be honest, it's really cheap. The tour guide is also good, there will be no compulsory consumption, and some historical allusions and Buddhist wonders are clearly explained.

But on the last day, I trusted the tour guide and spent more than 1000.

The reason is that Miao Dexuan is in Yewu Temple.

When entering Wutai Mountain, the tour guide has been conveying an idea to the meeting. All the temples in Wutai Mountain, please pilgrims, don't take out your own incense and order some offerings. Don't buy incense either, because incense that has not been ordered by a professional mage is evil. Every temple has free incense sticks, and everyone wants three to show their respect.

Wutai Mountain is really the first of the four famous Buddhist mountains, with no commercial flavor.

The second concept conveyed by the tour guide is that there is no musical instrument circulation in the whole temple of Wutai Mountain. Only one is located outside Wu Ye Temple. The most effective temple in Wu Ye has always been the saying that "one temple keeps a hundred temples".

In other words, if you want to invite the Bodhisattva to go home to worship, or invite something related to Buddhism, you can only go to Wu Ye Temple, where there are no other temples. Incense money from the circulation of temple utensils in Wu Ye will be distributed to all temples to support all monks and teachers.

When the tour guide said these words, he was extremely pious and serious, and all the tourists believed him. Perhaps the pilgrims will think that since we are here, it is understandable to give some money to support the three treasures without ordering a incense, and the money will not be too stingy.

Especially after hearing the tour guide say so, the money provided by Wu Ye Temple is equivalent to supporting all the spiritual teachers in Wutai Mountain, which is another matter.

So, at 5 o'clock the next morning, I washed my face on an empty stomach and went to Wu Ye Temple. Wu Ye Temple is well known, and Wu Ye's legal name is Nanwu Guangji Dragon King and Bodhisattva.

Before the tour guide leads him into Wu Ye Temple, he will say at the entrance of Miaodexuan that there are three kinds of incense in the circulated musical instruments, and you can choose.

The price of the first kind of incense is 100 yuan, which is the most common incense, and it costs less than one yuan to each temple. If you are here, if you come to see Wu Ye, then this fragrance is enough.

The second kind of incense price, 300 yuan, is the incense blessed by the teacher. This incense is used to make wishes and protect the safety of family members.

The third kind of incense price, 500 yuan, was blessed by the Tibetan Lama and the Han nationality Buddhism. This fragrance is very strong. If you make a big wish or wish, you can invite this.

I didn't notice anything unusual until this time, but when I went in, I was surprised to find many people at the door. When going in, a tour guide took a group and went in in turn. When the last regiment comes out, it enters the next regiment. Afterwards, I learned that it was to calculate the commission.

Originally, I thought there must be some monks and teachers in the circulation area of Wutai Mountain, who are so pious in the tour guide's mouth. But unexpectedly, there are no monks here, only businessmen.

100 yuan of incense. It is the most common perfume on the market.

300 yuan's incense and 500 yuan's incense are actually no different from the most common ones, except that there is an extra tray with two lights on it. Say something disrespectful, just talk about value, Mark.

Everyone is here, and they didn't spend much money these two days, not less than 200 yuan. Let's worship all the buddhas and bodhisattvas in Wu Ye and Wutai Mountain to protect the safety of our family, so we asked 300 yuan for incense money.

But when you drag the tray out, the place where you want to check out will be stopped by two shop assistants. There are many tributes on the counter, such as flowers, fake flowers, hada, Buddha cards and so on.

The clerk plunged into the tray, which was filled with hada, Buddha cards and fake flowers.

Say to me, come on, repeat after me, hello, Wu Ye.

At that time, I realized that something was wrong, but really few people would take back what he gave and put it on the table and say I don't want it.

I must study with him. Hello, Master Wu.

Get up at five o'clock in the morning, wash your face, and then come here to visit Wu Ye on an empty stomach. Nobody wants bad luck. I don't want to be disrespectful to Wu Ye, but this money is really cowardly.

I have no choice but to bite the bullet and pay. One count is more than 700. The money is paid by WeChat, and the clerk shows the personal QR code of WeChat collection.

I'm confused. The logistics department of Wuyefa is not a monk, but a temple guards a hundred temples. With such a strong business, the money actually flowed to the personal WeChat account.

Out of the door, many tourists are so confused and unhappy on their faces, thinking about theory and not wanting to get angry at this juncture. At most, I stuffed more than 900 yuan.

When I met Wu Ye, our Hada and fake flowers had just been offered devoutly, but they were put away by the guards and thrown on the ground. Countless hadas on the ground were rolled into bundles and piled up like garbage. These expensive utensils are just held high above the heads by pilgrims, and under the pious prayer, the next second becomes so unbearable. I don't know what to say.

After visiting Wu Ye Temple, we retraced our steps and passed Miaodexuan. The guide let us in to listen to the master's lecture. The so-called master asked us about the zodiac behind the counter, gave us a guardian Buddha to popularize each zodiac, and then took out one to let us go home. My mother and I are chickens, gold-plated Tathagata pendants, rough workmanship, but the price is far from any jewelry store in the supermarket. Many tourists were fooled, unbuckled their pockets and asked to go home.

My mother took me away. On the way back, she told me that Buddhism originated in India. Indians don't have the theory of the zodiac. How can they protect the zodiac? These are all tricks made after commercialization.

It's over.

In fact, to tell the truth, what I feel sad is not that I spent hundreds of dollars more. Now that the standard of living is good, you can't miss these hundreds of oceans when you travel.

But only with a pious heart, Wutai Mountain is a famous place to worship Buddha, and no one should seek immoral interests in this pure heart.

What's more, it is forced to buy and sell, deceiving consumers, and circling money in the name of religion, temples and monks, so that pilgrims who come to worship incense can eat a dumb loss.
