Hedong Visiting Ancient Times: Lin Jing Temple in Jiezhou

The first block-printed Buddhist classics in the history of China was Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was carved in Yizhou (now Chengdu) from the fourth year of Kaibao in Song Taizu (97 1) to the eighth year of Taiping Xingguo in Taizong (983). Since then, there has been a tradition of engraving the Tripitaka (the collection of Buddhist classics is called the Tripitaka). In the early years of the Republic of China, there were only scattered tripitaka in Song and Yuan dynasty. At that time, academic circles and monasteries lacked systematic tripitaka. 1933, when monk Fan Cheng was investigating ancient Tibetan scriptures in Shanxi, he discovered the Jin Dynasty Tibetan scriptures in Guangsheng Temple in Zhaocheng County, which was later named "Jin Dian" by Jiang and "Jin Dian in Zhao Cheng" in history.

Zhao Cang was carved in the Jin Dynasty and copied on the basis of Kaibao, retaining the face of Kaibao. Because of its early engraving age and large quantity, it has collected various Buddhist classics, laws and doctrines popular in China before the Jin Dynasty, of which more than 300 volumes are rare books of China, which is a rare treasure. At that time, Beiping Library, Beiping Shisan Society and Shanghai Photocopying Song Edition Tibetan Scripture Association selected and printed Zhao Zang and published Song Zang. In the spring of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression 1942, the Second Prefectural Committee of Taiyue District learned that the Japanese army would plunder the scriptures of Guangsheng Temple and immediately reported them to Chen Geng and Bo Yibo of Taiyue Military Region. The military sub-division immediately organized forces to rescue, transfer and hide, and many soldiers paid their lives for it. After the liberation of Peiping, the Central People's Government ordered Cang Zhao to be collected in the Beijing Library (now the National Library), and together with Yongle Dadian, Sikuquanshu and Dunhuang suicide note, it became the treasure of the four major towns of the National Library. At the end of last century, Ren edited the Tripitaka based on Zhao Zang.

Zhao Zang was carved at Tianning Temple in Jinglinshan, Jiezhou, now Lin Jing Temple, located at the northern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain southwest of Chaijiayao Village, Xizhang Township, Yanhu District, Yuncheng City.

Tianning Temple in Jinglinshan, Jiezhou, whose construction date is unknown. In Ningzhong, Gan Tang, the court named it Miaojue Temple. In the second year of Taiping Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (977), it was renamed Jinglinshan Xinghua Temple; By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty (104 1- 1048), the temple had been in decline for a long time. Monks Puzhen and Wenyu built a pagoda, rebuilt and expanded it, and reported it to the official for approval as a "ten-square jungle". At that time, incense was at its peak, and it was said to be as famous as Qiyan Temple and Wangu Temple in Zhou Pu. During the period of Yuan You in the Northern Song Dynasty, Hongzhi and Gao Yuan rebuilt Xinghua Temple.

The name of Jinshi Temple is Jinglinshan Tianning Temple. At that time, a monk named Yin Yong (nai), a real-name lawyer, chose to know Tianning Temple in Zhou as the place where he carved the Tripitaka. The engraving center of Jin Dynasty was in Pingyang, and Jiezhou was a developed place for engraving.

Yin Qing, a native of Henan, became a monk in Tianwang Courtyard, Mengzhou, Henan. When Lu Yu Song Huizong went to Wutai Mountain to worship Buddha, he once drove and got a golden knife and a jade sword. After arriving at Wutai Mountain, "I felt that Manjusri Bodhisattva appeared in the air, and I could see the top of the Buddha, saying,' You are in Jinjiang, and you have a great edge to carve the Tripitaka', which is the origin of its intention to carve the Tripitaka. Later, he led more than 3,000 disciples such as Cui and Ciyun, and made concerted efforts to raise funds in counties such as Hehe, Jieji, Pingshui (Linfen) and Jiangyang (Houma) in Jinnan and Xiqin. Lawyer Bo Gong's fingers burned, Cui broke his arm, and Liu Jushi broke his arm first, and then set himself on fire in front of the pagoda of Pujiu Temple. The local Han, Nuzhen and Mongolian Buddhists were deeply moved, and they donated money one after another, and even went bankrupt to raise money. Therefore, "Zhaozang" was initiated by the people, and it was the first time from the heart that it relied on the vast number of believers to raise funds to engrave Tibetan scriptures.

In the ninth year of Jin Huangtong (1 149), lettering began. Jin Dading 16 years (1 176), when Yin Yong died, he entrusted his disciples: "When I finish, I will be the one who filled the Tripitaka with pi." By Jin Dading 18 (1 178), the vast carving project of Tripitaka was finally completed. Tianning Temple in Jinglinshan, Jiezhou is the "headquarters" of the sculpture project. According to The Master of Carving Tibetan Scriptures Rebuilding the Monument of Taiyin Temple in Jiangxian County, it is recorded that "starting from several courtyards, carving Tibetan Scriptures" and "starting from three courtyards of Xintian, Yicheng and Gujiang, making up the number of scriptures" indicate that many temples work together to carve "Tianning".

After the carving project was completed, Cui hid the seal and presented it to the court. The imperial court ordered an altar to Fazhen to be ordained as a bhikshuni in the Holy Temple (now Beijing Holy Temple). In the year of Dading 21(1181), the full text of Tibetan scriptures was sent to Beijing, collected, printed and circulated by Hongfa Temple. In the 23rd year of Dading (1 183), the imperial court made Fazhen Ziyi a master of macro education.

It is Zhao Cang's carving place that laid the reputation of Tianning Temple in the history of Buddhism. This temple was rebuilt twice from the middle Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng Zheng Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, the temple was named Jinglinshan Tianning manjuji.

At the end of the Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, some ancient books in Jincang were burned by fire, and Yelu Chucai presided over the engraving of these lost books. The Collection of Zhao Jincheng in Guangsheng Temple is the printed version after this moment.

In the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1592), the scriptures collected in Guangsheng Temple were lost for years, and a few volumes were copied and supplemented by monk Wu Shun. During the 9th to 1 1 year of the Qing Dynasty (173 1 ~ 1733), with the patronage of believers, Guangsheng Temple once again copied monks and customs on a large scale. There are more than 200 volumes of supplementary manuscripts in Zhao Zang, which are the supplementary manuscripts of these two books.

During the reign of Yongzheng and Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, manjuji of Jinglinshan was rebuilt twice. In the early years of the Republic of China, bandits were rampant and Lin Jing Temple became a victim. In order to get rid of the thief's nest, the local gentry wrote a petition and transferred it to the provincial order for approval. In the 9th year of the Republic of China (1920), Lin Jing Temple was demolished, leaving only 30 pagodas of monk's tombs, which collapsed naturally and were vandalized. So far, there are only two pagodas. What an incomprehensible way to ban bandits.

1995, Master Dajie came to the prickly ruins of Lin Jing Temple, and began to rebuild Lin Jing Temple, and became the abbot, which is still difficult to scale. Master Dajie, commonly known as Ji Mingjie, 1928, was born in Fengcheng, Liaoning Province. He worked in Chaihe Forestry Bureau of Heilongjiang Province and Sugar Factory of Gansu Province successively, and became a monk in Xinglong Temple of Ruicheng County in 1994. ?

This is the cement road leading to the temple in the west of Chaijiayao Village in Xizhang Township, and the temple is at the end of the road.

Up is the main hall.

Turn left and there are two floors, which is a monk's cabin. I met Master Sister and his daughter downstairs, as well as a local monk and a volunteer engaged in construction. Master Sister used to break her leg, so she took care of herself and didn't see a doctor. We talked with Master Sister for a long time, talking about the teacher's disaster experience, the choice and continuous development of the abbot of the temple, the relationship between the temple and its surroundings, the relationship with the development of tourism, and the situation of monks. Speaking of the merits of rebuilding Lin Jing Temple and the fact that the teacher must leave a name for the history of Lin Jing Temple in the future, the teacher said: I just want to build this Dojo and promote Buddhism. Until another monk knocked on the cloud board rhythmically and entered Wuguantang to sing. I knew it was a pre-dinner ceremony, so I left.

Tallinn is half a mile southeast of the temple. Think about how spectacular Tallinn is over 30. Now there are only two hanging together, and talking is better than nothing.
