A trip to Wulong Cave in Shuozhou

In recent years, with the growth of my age, I found myself more and more interested in various temples, churches and other buildings. Perhaps it is because the older you get, the more things you experience, and the greater your desire. In the face of many situations, it is sometimes difficult to support yourself alone, so find yourself a sustenance!

20 18 Just after the Spring Festival, I mentioned to my family that I wanted to go to burn incense, and my family suggested going to Wulong Cave. To tell the truth, I have never heard of this place in my nearly 30 years of life, so before I first set foot in it, I went online to search. It is known that Wulong Cave is located in Huzhu Township, Pinglu District, Shuozhou, Shanxi Province. It was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and has certain historical significance. At the same time, according to several related legends, I am curious about Wulong Cave.

Sitting on the bus to Wulong Cave, I found that all the roads were built by mountains. There were only two lanes along the mountain, but it was relatively safe and convenient because it was not a very famous scenic spot. Passing through several small villages and some fields along the way, sunny weather, neat fields, away from the noisy city, makes people feel calm. ?

When the bus arrives, the first thing you see is a tower standing halfway up the mountain. In winter in the north, there are withered grass and dead trees all around. Comparatively speaking, this tower is more independent. It just stood there quietly, looking at all the people who came to worship. In such a place, it feels that people are a tiny creature.

Walking into the hall near the gate, there is a smiling Maitreya Buddha in the middle. Maitreya, known as the Buddha of the future, just sat there and looked at the pilgrims coming and going with good eyes to resolve people's worries and fears. Surrounded by four kings in the southeast and northwest, we can know that they are the kings who keep the house, grow up and watch the journey to the west since childhood. When I was a child, I went to places with Buddha statues with my family. My family has been warning me not to take pictures. At that time, I was fearless because I was small, so I took pictures wherever I could. But now I don't have that idea, and I always feel disrespectful.

Walking through the buildings of Buddhist places such as the Heavenly King Hall and Mahayana Hall, and walking up the stairs, you can see the Notre Dame Hall, which is the hall dedicated to the owner and mother of Wulong Cave. In fact, whether it is legend or reality, most people with real strength have a respectable mother. In addition, in the temple with the statue of "Wuye", the "Wuye" holding the elixir is half lying and half lying, with a serene look. Although the Spring Festival has just passed, there are not many pilgrims. People come and go to buy lucky bags and other auspicious items, and pray for good luck in 20 18 and the future. How many people's expectations are pinned on the trees, ropes and buildings in Xiao Mu, which is naturally a watchful place, pinning their expectations for future generations!

Standing in the place where the blessing bag is hung, overlooking the hall below and the sky in the distance, I feel very open. Perhaps, whatever the future, whether your request is valid or not, for this quiet and open moment, let's glad you came! Naturally, with this blessing, we can face the difficulties and setbacks in life more confidently in the future!
