Minutes of the meeting on North Korea

Buddha said that everyone has a plan for what he sees and meets. Everything is fate, the origin is doomed, the fate is scattered, and everything is providence.

Wutai has been here several times, worshiping Wu Ye in Taihuai Town, lighting some incense, knocking a few heads and giving alms; Turn around the White Pagoda, pray for peace and happiness, and all the best; Climb the steps of Dailuoding 1080, enter the temple to worship, and look at Taihuai Town shrouded in Buddha's light outside the temple gate. You will feel that the five stops have not come in vain, and your pious heart has also landed.

Perhaps it was the Buddha's nature, or the sudden enlightened understanding. By coincidence, I spent three days walking to Taiwan Province and personally measured the distance from Dongtai to Beitai, Zhongtai, Xitai and Nantai. I witnessed the vastness of Wutai Mountain with my own eyes, and completed a journey of seeing mountains, water, manjusri, wind, rain, myself, cattle and horses and fox spirits.

The first sight of Wutai Mountain

Dongtai Wu

The car went straight to the Hongmen Banquet halfway up Dongtai and stood around it. The mountains are connected and have no end. The clouds are next to each other and there is no sky. Everything you see is boundless. The pine forest in the Mid-Levels is green and dripping, soaring like a giant eagle. The grass is green, like a green carpet. Cattle and horses graze leisurely on the grass, just like a beautiful plateau picture. After crossing the mountain gate, head for the top of the east platform. The road is tortuous, and occasionally vehicles pass by. The path is tortuous, and the 45-degree oblique angle goes straight to the top of the platform. We chose this road.

This is the road that people facing Taiwan Province have taken. Lu Xun said: "There is no road in the world. If there are more people walking, it will become a road. " This road is high and low, deep and shallow, incoherent and disconnected. There is a lot of gravel under your feet. If you are not careful, you may step on stones or cow dung. But the scenery on this road is also beautiful. The green grass crawls on the soles of the feet, the golden Buddha potted flowers are like a Buddha statue with dew, and the purple thistles are mixed among the green grass, as pious as pilgrims. There are large and small mani piles on the roadside, and the cattle are grazing leisurely.

Suddenly I heard my companion exclaim, "Look at the fog on the mountain." Stop and look west. Gray clouds rise from the mountain, one by one, and converge into chaos. The upper part was blown by the wind and drifted rapidly. At first, it looked attractive, and then large fog clouds dispersed. Like magic, clouds are constantly emerging in the mountain stream. Soon, the pine forest was shrouded in clouds and the grass slope was covered with fine gauze. Flowers, cows and horses that bow their heads and eat grass are hidden in the clouds. The fog was very thick, and before long, we were in the middle of the clouds, and the clouds filled the air. We could reach out and touch the fairy spirit, and instantly felt the feeling of feathering into immortals.

On the top of Dongtai, the fog is still there, but it is already very thin. Our eyes suddenly opened up. On the tall doorplate building, two dragons stand opposite each other, with "Dongtai Wanghai Temple" engraved in the middle, "Prajna" and "Auspicious" engraved on both sides, and a couplet "Incense has been on and off for two thousand years, and the Dojo has experienced ups and downs for five hundred years". Above the screen stone engraved with "Buddha's light shines" is the steps of Wanghai Temple in Dongtai, where long-headed men and women are crossing their hands to worship Buddha.

Dongtai Wanghaishan, 2795 meters above sea level, has Wanghai Temple, dedicated to intelligent Manjusri. In the Hall of Mahatma, I solemnly sealed the first chapter of the Heart Sutra that I carried with me, burned incense and worshipped Buddha, knelt down before the golden body of Manjusri Bodhisattva and prayed for the Buddha to bless all the children in the world, open up wisdom, study hard, and all of them were admitted to their ideal schools!

There is an observation deck under the stairs outside the Hall of Great Heroes. The mountain stream outside Taiwan is shrouded in clouds, and the mountains are hidden in the clouds, just like the fairy mountain on the sea. I wonder if there are any immortals living there. According to records, the Wanghai Building on the top of Dongtai was built for tourists and believers to watch the sunrise. There was a poem saying, "If you climb to the top of Dongtai, you can see the sea." Although you can't see the sea, there is a saying, "Once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see that other mountains are short under the sky." Here in Mount Tai. The feeling.

It is said that Dongtai is the best place to watch the sunrise. When 198 1 boarded Dongtai, Zhao Puchu once said: "Dongtai is the top of the mountain, still covered with fur in midsummer, the sky is covered with summer clothes to welcome the sunrise, and the peaks are floating in the sea of clouds, full of vitality." I missed the sunrise, but from the video taken by my friend in the morning, we can see that Mount Tai is undulating, foggy and the sky is full of sunshine in the morning. The quiet Wanghai Temple is completely immersed in the Buddha's light, and with the strong morning bell, it becomes more solemn. The sun broke through the clouds. I can't forget it after reading it. I wanted to watch the sunrise in the bath the next day, but I was blocked by the thick fog all over the mountain.

Zhang Shangying, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem: "The sky is low and the land is wide. The northeast is obviously looking at the sea, and the southwest is close to Chang' an. "I didn't see the sunrise. Think of this sea of clouds as the sea for the time being.

Beitaifeng

After coming out of Dongtai, I set out for Ye Dou Feng in Beitai, and walked up the mountain along the road taken by people in Lintai. It's not steep, but the altitude is high and the oxygen is a little thin. Although there is no high reaction, you still need to take deep breaths and shallow breaths to move at a constant speed.

Looking back at Dongtai, the red wall of Wanghai Temple is faintly visible, and the whole outline resembles Potala Palace. On the hillside, cows are leisurely, and the fog in the mountain is erratic, gathering into clouds and doing whatever they want. Over two mountains, I finally saw the top of the North Platform. Beitai is 3058 meters above sea level, which is the highest among the five stations and the highest peak in North China. It is known as the "roof of North China". There is a strong wind blowing on the mountain. It is said that the Shipai Building on the roof of North China was blown down by the wind several times.

Cloud final gathering into a rain ball. After the storm, we had a rest and began to climb to the top of the mountain. The path of Beitai is covered with big stones. The blue team said these stones were called dragon stones. When Manjusri Bodhisattva borrowed the Dragon Stone from the East China Sea, the five sons of the Dragon King went to Wutai to look for the treasure of the Dragon Palace. They searched all the stones in the mountain, but they couldn't find them. Random stones were turned out and left in place. After the years of wind and frost baptism, gray stones are blue and scattered on the hillside of Beitai. I wonder if there is spirituality. We shuttled carefully between the stones, and the oxygen became thinner and thinner. Sister Wen's lips began to turn black and white, and she had to sit down and rest after a few steps. I feel a little breathless, too

Finally, after walking the path, we arrived at the downstairs of the sign "Roof of North China". Suddenly, the wind was so strong and cold that the person who blew it could hardly stand. There is a kind of cold, called Wutai Mountain in July, which tells you to wear thick cotton trousers. We all put on thick clothes, put on clothes and put on our necks to move on. The wave team said that wearing too little clothes in this weather is easy to lose temperature. The lowest temperature in Dongtai, the top of North Taiwan, is about MINUS 40 degrees Celsius. Last year, the missing donkey friend froze to death on the way from Beitai to the bath. After listening to his words, everyone couldn't help tightening their clothes. The wind poured in from all directions, and it was very cold. I shrank my neck and walked about three or four miles against the wind, and finally reached the top of Beitai Mountain in the misty rain.

The top of the platform is wide and flat, and stones engraved with leaves stand between the clouds. Looking down, there are clouds in the mountains, there are no mountains outside the mountains, and there are clouds outside the clouds. It is much bigger than Dongtai, with Ling Ying Temple and Dragon King Hall. The Blue Team introduced Ling Ying Temple to Manjusri without pollution. There is a free-flowing pond and a small bridge in the courtyard, next to the Black Dragon Pool and a hidden peak tower in the east, which is very effective.

After this storm, a group of people who have traveled long distances have long been exhausted, and most of them are sitting in front of the temple waiting for the owner to stamp. There don't seem to be many monks in Ling Ying Temple. It is estimated that it is related to the perennial cold. It is said that there is "eternal ice" in the shade of trees all the year round, and masters need iron will to practice here.

It's windy, foggy and cold, so we can't stay in Beitai for long. After sealing the seal, we regrouped and set off for a bath in the mountains.

It is much easier to go down the mountain than when we came, but because the sky is gloomy and the wind and fog are heavy, people's pace is not very fast. When we arrived at the bath, the fog suddenly dispersed, the sky was clear, and we actually saw the sea of clouds.

The sky and the mountain peaks are the same color, and the white clouds and waves rise and fall like the sea, in clusters, which are spectacular.

The road to Beitai is the most difficult, with high mountains and long roads, cold and lack of oxygen, and the wind and rain are urgent. Fortunately, along the way, we supported each other and helped each other. After 81 difficulties, we finally came over.

Zhongtaiyu

After taking a shower, you can see the red fence and double eaves on the central platform, and it seems that you can still hear the melodious sound of two bells under the eaves. Cui Yan Peak in China and Thailand is 2894 meters above sea level, second only to Beitai. At the top of the platform, there is a Yanjiao Temple dedicated to Confucian scholars and Manjusri Bodhisattva.

The bath is not far from China and Thailand, and it is not very high from the mountainside to the top of the mountain. A group of people walked and said that it didn't take long to get to the temple, sealed it, offered lanterns, worshipped the Buddha and were about to leave in the rain.

We sheltered from the rain under the balcony in front of the mountain gate. There is a shadow wall in front of the gate. I wonder if it is the Nine Dragon Wall in the storm. There are also four stone lions, two white and two gold, with curly hair, like the hairstyle of a foreigner in the Middle Ages, and like a big wave perm of modern people. Surrounded by rain, I fell into chaos again, and there was nothing in front of me except the scene. It rained harder and harder, and it never stopped. We were a little cold under the eaves, so we went to a temple in the temple. The main body of Yanjiao Temple has just been built, and there is some mud in the yard. The tall Luohan statues on both sides of the main hall remained motionless in the wind and rain. There was no movement in the rain, so I knelt down on the Buddha statue enshrined in the temple and checked the origin of Yanjiao Temple. "Playing the name of the temple is the idea of Manjusri Bodhisattva teaching here. Teaching is to explain the meaning of Buddhism. Yanjiao Temple is the largest temple on top of the five platforms. "

China and Thailand occupy a large area, and there are many small pagodas behind the temple, lined with red walls, which is a beautiful scenery. After the rain stopped, we set off for West Taiwan Province and looked back at Central Taiwan Province. The red walls and golden roofs of Yanjiao Temple are in the clouds and ethereal as a fairyland. After the rain cleared, the dragons along the road turned over the stones and looked green, as if they were huge emeralds. Cui Yifeng is not just a name.

Xitai road

On the way to Xitai, I experienced some storms, and finally arrived at the gate of Xitai Mountain after the storms. The hanging moon peak in Xipingtai is 2773 meters above sea level, and on top of it is the Farei Temple built in the Sui Dynasty, dedicated to the lion Manjusri Bodhisattva.

Maybe it's that it's not easy to learn Buddhist scriptures in the West. The road to climb the west terrace is really the hardest. There are many steep stones, and the path is full of stones. It seems difficult to walk in a cave. Every step is difficult. Cui Jie and I agreed to go down the mountain and walk around the road.

After a long red fence, I turned to the entrance of the temple. The three caves that enter the door are the Hall of the King of Heaven, and there is the Hall of the Great Hero behind it. These are two old buildings. It is said that among the five temples, Xitai is the smallest and simplest, and it is also the place where the masters practice and suffer the most from the western paradise recently. Do not seek happiness for yourself, but wish all beings happiness.

There is a newly-built steel-framed hall in the west, where a tall manjusri golden body is enshrined, sealed and dedicated to the Buddha statue. I also invited a bracelet here, made of 36 yuan rosewood, which is not very expensive.

There is a white stupa at the height of Waimanchu Temple, surrounded by colorful prayer flags. At the bottom of the stupa is a waist-girding sumeru. The tower is tall, the bottom is thick and steady, and the tower is handsome and beautiful. It is unique in the beautiful scenery and elegant environment of the west terrace.

Take a step back along the avenue, and after several twists and turns, the big archway with Yuefeng appeared in front of you, engraved with the words "The lion roars for three thousand generations, and the flowers are fragrant in more than ten billion countries". There are dragon balls, colorful clouds and other patterns. In the distance are verdant green hills and winding mountain roads.

We walked along the road, and the road halfway up the mountain split the mountain in two. Pine and Berlin on the mountain are not covered, springs are flowing, waterfalls are cold, unknown birds are singing melodiously, and unknown flowers are hidden between cliffs, beside gullies, under trees and in the grass. The grass under the road is endless, and yellow and white cows lie or stand, and Cleisthenes cries from time to time. The mountain roads in the distance are vertical and horizontal, and there are small temples mixed in them. The birds in the whole mountain are singing happily. The scenery is pleasing to the eye, the grass is full of waves and the pines are bursting. I really want to stay here.

Jixiang Temple is a passing temple, located at the foot of several mountains such as Zhongtai, Xitai and Bathroom. It is serene and quiet, and seems to be free from all external interference. A bridge that spans man and Buddha gracefully spans the stream. The stream is clear and gurgling, surrounded by pine trees, the mountain wind is blowing, and the waves are bursting. Practicing here is probably the most comfortable!

On the way to the lion's den, the sky is so pure, the clouds are so clean, the grass is so fresh, and the air is so sweet and refreshing. The cow wandered around as calm as a battle-hardened general. Mountain flowers are dotted with red, white, yellow and purple powders, dotted with this huge green carpet. We use our backpacks as cushions, leaning on the grass, basking in the warm sunshine and breathing the fragrance of grass, which is very comfortable. This return to freedom and freedom between heaven and earth makes people's body and mind relax in all directions.

Looking back at the distant mountains, we can see Dongtai, Beitai, Zhongtai and Xitai. Dongtai is faint, the White Pagoda in North Taiwan is debatable, and the bath pool in Middle Taiwan and West Taiwan is vivid. Unconsciously, it has passed four stops. From a distance, it seems to be a big circle and a reincarnation.

Nantaihua

The south terrace is called Jinxiu Peak, which is opposite to Lao Wang's house in Shuicaotan where we spent the night, with an altitude of 2489. On the stage, there is a Fossett, in which the wise Manjusri Bodhisattva is enshrined.

Get up in the morning, the sun is shining and the weather is really good. Today, I climbed the last platform, that is, the Jinxiu Peak in the opposite Nantai. After breakfast, I walked through the lush grass beach and beautiful Woods. The ground is soft, the breeze is blowing gently, the air is moist, and the grass smells like My Sweetie. All kinds of wild Chinese herbal medicines can be seen everywhere. I really want to put down my backpack, hold a bamboo basket in my hand, and turn into a little Taoist priest collecting herbs for a bumper harvest. The straight trunk beside him, like a soldier standing guard at a campsite, guards the holy land of Wutai Mountain and regulates the air and humidity here. Named after a natural oxygen bar, it is no exaggeration.

After walking through the spruce forest, I came to a flat mountain. Large areas of plateau meadows, herds of cattle and horses, pine forests and small villages in the distance. Colleague Cui Jie said that Erenhot is not so beautiful, so you don't have to go to the grassland when you come to Wutai. When you lie on the lawn, you can see the blue sky and white clouds when you open your eyes. You can watch the clouds rolling and the birds passing through the air, surrounded by flowers and green grass, the grass is as high as the sky, and the sound of cattle grazing is particularly healing and comfortable.

Nantai is our most unforgettable scenic spot. The peaks are steep, the smoke is bright green, the flowers are clustered, the mountains are dense and colorful, and it is the earliest stop in spring and the latest stop in winter in Wutai.

There are red, blue, white and purple flowers on the mountain, including wild strawberry, rosemary, patchouli, Polygonatum sibiricum, edelweiss, Cirsium japonicum and Ningwu Maojian tea. It is said that there is another white flower called Linglingxiang, but I don't know, and I don't know if it happened by fate. Nantai is a paradise for cattle and sheep with flowers and green grass.

The red fence supporting Sage is high above, across the grass, and climbs to Nantai, where the main gate archway and the tall Guanyin stand. Coming to Taiwan Province all the way, Nantai has the largest number of Fossett monuments, and it feels like the place with the most sense of history and culture. Brick walls and roof tiles are mainly gray and dark. The old temple gate is mottled and the old plaque has begun to fade. The old stone road was polished smooth and round. The ancient pagoda is hidden behind the temple, and the old stone roof shines in the sun. You can meet monks in gray robes, and everything is full of Zen. There are tourists in Nantai, but it's not noisy. There are Gesang flowers in the yard, but they are not charming. We are here around the White Pagoda, watching Channel 5 and listening to old stories.

There is a poem praising:

Nantai is isolated from other stations,

Eyes full of enthusiasm.

Flowers are all over the mountain, piles of brilliant flowers,

Rock storage temperature fog lock berry moss.

Dry treasure hunting brake,

Hundreds of flying springs bring rain.

To prove where Bodhi is,

Wandering from France to France for a period of time.
