Notes on "Four" in Dahongshan

The wind and rain are crumbling and the dust is exhausted? Tea boiled in clear water is light and refreshing.

Let bygones be bygones Sitting alone in Wan Lifeng.

The sea of clouds came and went quickly, calming thousands of thoughts, coming down from the first peak and going to Jinding to pay tribute to the bone relic of Elder Benhuan. The top of Ji 'en Jijin in Dahongshan is located at the top of Baozhufeng Mountain. Jinding is a building in the Tang Dynasty. Its tile columns, doors and windows are all made of brass, using nearly 120 tons of copper. The bones of the elder Ben Huan were placed in the crystal shrine in front of the Jinding Buddha statue, which was admired and worshipped by thousands of people. Burn incense in front of the Buddha, pray around the Buddha, pray for peace and prosperity, good weather, happiness and safety of family and friends. ...

At eight o'clock in the morning, Jinding was resplendent in the sun. The sky magically shows the blue sky on one side and the mist in the sun on the other. Mists, large and small, surrounded Shan Lan in the distance, casting a mysterious veil over Dahongshan.

When you come to a temple, you can't just think about having fun, but always do something you can. With the consent of the master who manages the bell and drum tower, he picked up a broom to sweep the floor. While sweeping the floor, I muttered: "Sweeping the floor and sweeping the heart, if the heart does not sweep the floor, everyone sweeps the heart, and there is no place in the world."

When I came to Dahongshan, it was the children's summer vacation. Yin Da's brother's daughter, Silver, and her classmates came to the mountain for a holiday. Brother Yin Da is a volunteer in the temple. Most of the volunteer brothers in the temple stayed in the temple as volunteers because they fell in love with the beauty and cleanliness of Dahongshan. After lunch, Brother Yin Da took us to visit Erwang Cave in an old pickup truck. Pickup trucks are used by temples to transport materials and have been used for many years. The old pickup truck makes a loud noise, but it doesn't affect our laughter at all. Brother Yin Da told us the story of Erwangdong while driving.

Erwang Cave is located in the southeast of Zhaigongyan, Dahongshan. Wang Kuang and Wang Feng, heroic leaders of the Greenwood, were stationed here at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, hence the name "Erwangdong". Stalactites hang in various shapes in the cave, and the sound quality of the stone curtain is clear. Influenced by many factors such as lithology, structure, water flow, crustal movement, etc., the cave forms a maze-like cave, which is connected with the cave, and the cave has scenery, with scenery above, below and everywhere. Into the cave, only a faint light, hanging stalactites kept dripping, the cave was cold and wet, and the ground was slippery. No wonder brother Yin Da asked me to put on my sneakers and take my coat before I left. The iron ladder in the cave is steep and slippery, and my legs and feet are shaking all the time when I go up and down. You can only walk sideways in a narrow place. The ceiling is covered with black bats and the lights are dim, so I can't help but be afraid to go out. Brother Yin told me that the entrance and exit were far apart, so I had to bite the bullet and follow. Along the way, I was too scared to speak, for fear that the sound would disturb the bat and rush down to bite me. This situation is quite similar to the plot of "Ghost Blowing Lights". Wonder in my heart, in such a harsh environment, how did Wang Kuang and Wang stay in the cave with the soldiers for several years? After more than an hour of fear in the cave, I finally walked out of the cave. It was a thrilling "ghost blowing lights" trip.

Come out of the hole, it is raining cats and dogs outside. The weather in the mountains is so strange. Just now, it was sunny. After a while, it was foggy and raining cats and dogs.

Back in the temple, Brother Zhu told me that flowers would be laid in front of the Buddha on the 15th tomorrow. A brother at the foot of the mountain bought flowers to support the buddhas and bodhisattvas, and asked me to arrange flowers with you. During that time, I happened to have a strong interest in flower arrangement, so I should come down. After dinner, we got busy in the lobby of the guest room. My teacher and brothers are responsible for offering flowers. Their skilled brothers have grasped the essentials and cooperated with each other, happily preparing to offer flowers in front of the Buddha tomorrow. ...
