Jiuhuashan's Prose on Pilgrimage

165438+1Friday, October 23rd, rainy day.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, our two buses set off from Wuhu and headed for Jiuhua Mountain.

The weather forecast says there will be "moderate to heavy rain" in Anhui Province, but sitting in the car, there is no raindrop, but the window is full of fog, and the roads are covered with fog.

When the bus was driving on the expressway, it only heard a "meow-"sound, and the engine gave out a uniform gasp. While admiring the rapid development of traffic in recent years, I took out a pair of blindfolds and covered my eyes. I'm deaf to the noise in the carriage, and I just want to catch up-well, I woke up too early in the morning and I was sleepy. ...

Think of-ten years ago, I went to Jiuhua Mountain from Wuhu alone.

There was no such expressway at that time.

In 2002, I was the head of a large state-owned enterprise. I came to Wuhu with two female colleagues. Visit our colleagues and customers. I lived in Wuhu for a few days, and two colleagues were stationed in Wuhu for a weekend.

A man took an early morning bus to Jiuhua Mountain to worship the Tibetan King and Bodhisattva.

That day, I sat in a seat in the front row of the bus, enjoying the street view of Wuhu in the morning.

I'm on my way out of town, and I'm picking up guests on the way. As soon as the car door opened, I saw a monk in a dark yellow monk's suit coming. The monk seems to know a lot about command. Without buying a ticket, he sat directly on the wooden seat on the hood, right in front of me.

The monk, with green shaven head, fine features and plump figure, turned out to be a nun in her forties when I looked intently!

This nun is very talkative. She said: She is the abbot of a temple in Wuhu, where a ceremony will be held. She went to Jiuhua Mountain to ask the mage to open the light. ...

From her chatterboxes, I know that she used to be a teacher and a people's teacher. She has a very stable home! Later, she listened to the Buddha and realized the way of "three life causes". So, he who sees through the world of mortals became a monk halfway and cut his hair for Nepal. After several years of self-cultivation, I finally became the abbot of the temple! With the progress of the times, temples have flourished after the reform and opening up. ...

From my ordinary eyes, the abbot, at least, has gathered millions of assets! This is not what an ordinary teacher can do!

It seems that 360 lines can make a fortune! However, "money makes the mare go", it takes luck to get rich, and I believe there is "fate" to meet the god of wealth!

Our factory was originally a large-scale enterprise designated by the State (Ministry of Light Industry) to produce synthetic detergent and sodium tripolyphosphate. In the 1980s, this country still practiced a planned economy. Our product, sodium tripolyphosphate, depends on national distribution. If there is no distribution index, it is difficult to buy this tight product from our factory.

At that time, Wuhu, the same company, wanted to exceed the standard, and just came to our factory with US dollars in cash. ...

Our factory director always satirizes our supply and marketing staff "sitting north facing south"-"Bodhisattva", who wants someone to burn incense! (Of course, this is also a wake-up call for us, warning the supply and marketing personnel to lead an honest and clean life! )

However, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, with the implementation of the "dual track system" by the state. Manufacturers of sodium tripolyphosphate have mushroomed. The product is no longer beautiful. In addition, cyanobacteria have also appeared in Taihu Lake Basin and Dianchi Lake ... Phosphorus is forbidden in Taihu Lake Basin, phosphorus is forbidden in Dianchi Lake and phosphorus is forbidden in Bohai Sea ... The washing powder has been replaced by those inexplicable "phosphorus-free" washing powders!

The products of our factory are unsalable, and the relationship between us and our customers has changed from "demand exceeds supply" to "demand exceeds supply". I came to Wuhu to "burn incense" for my customers.

-The market economy has neglected our sales staff. So, I can only go to Jiuhua Mountain alone. ...

Listen to the local people: if you don't reach Tiantai Mountain, you won't come to Jiuhua Mountain.

In order to climb Mount Tiantai-the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.. I climbed 800 steep steps, almost to the top of the mountain, and found a high cliff in front of me by the stone steps. When I was sweating, I suddenly looked up and my eyes lit up. I was surprised to see three big red characters engraved on the stone wall facing me-"non-human"

Non-human. I'm surprised!

On the petals of this "Lotus Buddha Country" and on this steep mountain top, it is actually called "non-human"! Oh, this place is no longer a stop on the earth surrounded by clouds, but an illusory fairyland!

You can climb Tiantai Temple at an altitude of 1 0,300 meters through the portal of the rolling arch beside the cliff. The peak behind the temple is called "Tiantai". I stood on the rooftop overlooking Jiuhua 99 Peak, and the mist was like a giant lotus flower. Looking from a distance, the integration of heaven and earth makes people suddenly enlightened and amazing!

At this moment, I realized a truth: the famous mountains and scenic spots on earth are actually "converted to Buddhism"-occupied by bodhisattvas! Look:

Wutai Mountain-Manjushri Dojo.

Emei Mountain-Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Dojo.

Putuo Mountain-Guanyin Bodhisattva Dojo.

In front of us is Jiuhua Mountain, the Dojo of the Earth Treasure King Bodhisattva.

On the earth, the "Western Buddhist Kingdom" on the splendid land is not only surrounded by many famous mountains and scenic spots. But also accumulated considerable wealth!

Those magnificent temples, gilded bodhisattvas, colorful halls ... all these, as well as this magnificent temple built on a cliff, seem to be outside the cloud nine, which is also made up of human and financial resources.

There is a secular word "money" everywhere in Buddhism-don't think that copper coins stink! It is the money on the earth that creates beautiful paradise and fairyland!

......

Suddenly, the bus stopped slowly. The friend in the same car is saying, "Jiuhua Mountain is here!"

I slowly took off my blindfold and saw our car parked at a fork in the road. There is a memorial arch across the road on the left, and the banner reads "Welcome to Jiuhua Mountain".

It feels like the bus is driving all the way on the flat ground. It is still far from Jiuhua Mountain. This is just a card to Jiuhuashan. It is very likely that vehicles from other places must stop here.

The car stopped, and all my friends in the same trade wanted to get off. It may be a conditioned reflex of "getting on the bus to sleep and stopping to pee".

All right! Rest, rest.
