160, Buda Temple, what is love!
After bidding farewell to the volunteer photographer, Jinlin Elaine entered the large temple and followed the procession around, chanting Sanskrit, clasping her hands, worshiping the Buddha and observing the mind.
At this time, the two of them felt particularly peaceful and happy, with only each other and nothing else in their hearts.
After the two of them left the temple, they stopped for a long time, watching a group of Tibetan people kowtow in front of the temple, while groups of travelers went in to pray to the Buddha.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jin Lin was thinking that the Tibetans were not praying for anything, but were thanking the Buddha for protecting the snow-covered plateau, and the travelers were not praying for anything, but to free themselves and seek peace and joy.
The two of them continued walking along Bakuo Street.
Elaine suddenly pointed her finger and said: "Xiao Jinzi, look!"
When he looked up, it turned out that there was a shop specializing in butter tea and butter cakes in front of him. Jin Lin understood immediately, took Elaine's little hand and said, "Let's go have tea!"
In this way, the two of them walked into the store, went to the second floor, ordered a pot of butter tea and two butter cakes, and began to taste them slowly.
Maybe they were in a good mood, so the two of them ate happily. They felt that the cakes were delicious and the butter tea was very comfortable. However, some travelers were not like this. Maybe they didn't have an appetite. They frowned, but
I frowned but insisted on tasting it. It’s a rare trip to the snow-covered plateau, so how could I not try it?
Jin Lin and Elian looked at it, smiled secretly, and continued to drink tea and eat cakes leisurely. Anyway, they were not in a hurry today, so they would sit and walk slowly, letting the beautiful moments gather in these moments.
Eat enough, drink enough, rest enough.
The two of them continued shopping. Along the way, Elaine saw some special products, so she started to buy them, especially the yak meat. She bought hundreds of kilograms of it, and ten boxes of highland barley wine.
Said, it's her again, her mother, her sister-in-law, and her apprentice each have a share.
Fortunately, Jin Lin has a portable space and a super large storage ring, otherwise he would not be able to afford such a purchase.
It seems that it has become a habit to spin the prayer wheels as I walk along. Whenever I see a prayer wheel, I turn it around.
After exiting Bakuo Street, the two of them continued forward, and a majestic white and red temple suddenly appeared in front of them, which was the Buda Temple.
Elaine quickly pulled Jin Lin and quickly passed through a large square, bought a ticket, and started to follow the team up the stairs. They were going to visit the Buda Temple.
At this time, Jin Lin and Elaine acted as volunteer photographers for each other. They started taking photos along the milky white wall. After entering the temple, they clasped their hands together and quietly followed the tour group, listening to the tour guide.
Free explanation, all the way up, visit layer by layer.
Looking up at the majestic Buddha statue and listening to the tour guide's explanation, the two of them learned about many mysterious legends of Tibetan Buddhism, and also understood that the Buda Temple plays an important role in the great unity of the Chinese nation.
Although Jin Lin is a cultivator of immortals, the cultivators of Liuyun Palace have escaped from Taoism and Buddhism in the mortal world. In other words, he does not reject Buddhism and Taoism. He will refer to anything that is conducive to cultivating immortals and enlightening Taoism. Therefore,
To him, there is no conflict between worshiping Buddha and Taoism.
However, while listening to the tour guide's explanation, a character came into his mind, because his little lotus became very excited when he heard it, and kept whispering to Jin Lin: I've heard it, I've heard it.
This character is the legendary Love Monk Living Buddha - Cang Yang.
It is said that Cangyang was already 14 years old when he was designated as the reincarnated soul boy. He already had a childhood sweetheart in his hometown, and the two were deeply in love. However, he was shaped into a living Buddha by those who plotted local power at that time. Although he became a living Buddha, he was influenced by everything.
People admire him, but he is actually a puppet with no real power.
Therefore, as a puppet, he was depressed and had to abide by the rules and regulations, which made him suffer from the torment of love and longing, so he often went out at night incognito to meet his lover.
However, Cang Yang's actions were eventually discovered, causing his lover to be executed by the sect, which made him even more painful and indulgent. He also wrote many love poems to express his inner emotions.
However, Cang Yang eventually became a victim of the power struggle. He contracted an illness at the age of only 23 and died on the way to being escorted.
After visiting the Buda Temple, we came to Buda Square. The story of Cangyang was still in Jin Lin's mind, and he couldn't get rid of it. This kind of love is too vigorous! Too lingering! Too romantic! Too painful! But he would rather
No, he would rather Xiao Jinzi and Xiao Lianzi be ordinary and help each other.
And when he turned to look at Elaine, Elaine's eyes were still red and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, and she was very moved.
Elaine pouted and said, "It's so touching!"
Jin Lin held Elian's hand tightly and said, "Xiao Lianzi, I would rather our love be dull. I just want us to be safe and grow old together."
When Elaine heard this, she was even more moved, tears streaming down her face, and she kept nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Jin Lin quickly took out a tissue, wiped her tears, pulled her to a small stone bench by the square, and sat down together.
Shoulder to shoulder, the two of them sat quietly like this, watching people coming and going, watching the lanterns come on, and watching the colorful fountains dancing in front of the Buda Temple.
The two of them were quiet and happy.
The night in Tenzo comes relatively late. When night falls, it is already 9 pm, but the temperature has dropped significantly.
Jin Lin took Elaine back to the portable space and came to the sky above the city.
In the space, the two of them continued to sit on the rocks by the Mirror Lake, leaning against each other and looking at the big, round moon.
Elaine: "Brother, Cang Yang has written many poems. They are so beautiful. Have you heard of them?"
Jin Lin: "I haven't heard of it, please tell me."
Then, Elaine read Cang Yang’s poem:
"That day, I closed my eyes in the fragrant mist of the sutra hall, and suddenly I heard the mantra of your chanting sutras. That night, I shook all the sutra tubes, not for salvation, but just to touch your fingertips. That year
, kowtow and prostrate on the mountain road, not to meet you, but just to be close to your warmth. In that life, I walked around mountains and rivers and pagodas, not for the next life, just to meet you on the way."
After reading a paragraph, Elaine asked: "Brother, is this kind of poetry beautiful?"
After hearing this, Jin Lin was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "It's beautiful! It's romantic! It's bold! But it seems a bit rebellious."
Elaine said: "Yes! But he was depressed and couldn't find love, so he had no choice but to express his feelings through poetry."
However, Jin Lin asked in turn: "Junior sister, you said that Cang Yang has deep roots in love, and he has practiced Buddhism, so has he fully understood what love is?"
When Elaine heard this, she was stunned for a moment and replied: "I don't know this, but he has a poem that says: The world is safe and sound, and I can't live up to the Tathagata and I can't live up to you."
