Chapter 16: Qingliang Temple

Qingliang Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty, the scale is not small, covers an area of about 30 acres or so, in a regular rectangular structure, the core area consists of the Thousand Buddha Hall, Guanyin Hall, Lohan Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Daxiongbao Hall and other buildings, on both sides of the squatters where monks live, eat fasting food fasting hall and so on.

Because it is located deep in the mountains, it has rarely been affected by the scourge of war, and most of the main buildings are inherited from the Ming Dynasty, with flying eaves and arches and ancient colors, making it an excellent model for the study of Ming Dynasty architecture.

It’s just that it’s been through the elements and inevitably needs to be repaired and reinforced from time to time.

Three years ago, it is said that there is a by the temple monks pointing out and fly phoenix to the rich businessman to the temple to return the wish, on the spot donated 10 million for the repair of the temple, after the renovation of the temple is now a new look.

Because of this rich merchant is more famous, so this matter spread, Qingliang Temple a time of fame, to the pilgrimage to the endless stream of people, and finally became the area of the most prosperous temple.

Wang Xiuqin also let Su Xiao and Gu Yun come over to worship the Buddha because she heard this story.

Along with Cheongnyangsa Temple’s fame, there was also the monk who had enlightened the rich merchant.

This monk is Gu Yun’s late friend in his dream, Master Deshan.

The four entered the Qingliang Temple.

At this time is more than ten o’clock, come to worship of the incense, the temple incense cloud, many wearing brown monk robes of the monks shuttle between the halls, they do not take the initiative to chat with the guests, but when the guests have asked them, will not be a detailed explanation.

Gu Yun listened briefly and saw that these monks, no matter how old or shallow they were, all possessed a certain level of understanding of the philosophies of Buddhism, so he knew that just like in the dream, De Shan, who was the Abbot, had managed Qingliang Temple in a well-organized manner.

Su Xiao led Gu Yun, from the Hall of Thousand Buddhas, the Hall of Lohan, the Hall of Guanyin, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, and then the Maharajah’s Treasure Hall, worshiping earnestly from one Buddha Hall to another.

Su Xiao is more of a believer in Buddhism, which should be influenced by Wang Xiuqin, who invited the Goddess of Mercy to her home and bought fruits for worship every first and fifteenth day of the month, a custom that is more popular in the area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

To the entrance of the Maharishi Temple, Su Xiao, according to Wang Xiuqin’s instructions, gave Gu Yun three high incense, and he himself also took three, lit it and then reverently worshipped to the southeast, west, north and west, and his mouth recited some words, roughly praying, and finally inserted the high incense on the incense burner.

Gu Yun followed suit and did the same.

Gu Yun believes in science, but is by no means an atheist, at least he believes that it is possible for some kind of supernatural power to exist in this world, and arbitrarily denying it is precisely the manifestation of unscience.

call for proof

The fact that he an old goblin who has been living in a dream for hundreds of thousands of years is evidence in itself.

We can’t let a crab that walks sideways to believe that the light of righteousness will only shine on the earth if it walks straight.

After all the major halls had paid their respects, Su Xiao and Gu Yun went to the next few side halls to take a stroll.
