Seven-leaf bodhi tree

? This bodhi tree grows outside the gate of Guanyin Zen Forest, which is 490 meters above sea level. It is an ancient Miluo tree full of vicissitudes, alias "Aesculus". It is said that the Yuan Dynasty was here, also known as Bodhi Tree or Seven-leaf Bodhi Tree.

? This ancient Miluo tree grows in a Buddhist temple, and listens to the scriptures and chanting in the morning bell and dusk drum every day, making it the most devout practitioner. Over the years, its smooth trees are engraved with the hardships and vicissitudes it has experienced for hundreds of years. The decaying branches recorded the wind and dust all the way, told the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and witnessed the once all-powerful situation.

? Aesculus chinensis is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has an indissoluble bond with Buddhism. It is a "sacred tree of Buddhism" and is known as the sacred tree of geomantic omen. It is also the courtyard tree of Buddha Sakyamuni's fine house. The Buddha preached under this tree. After nirvana, the disciples assembled for the first time, and it was under this tree that the Confucian classics were unified. Therefore, Aesculus chinensis is considered to be a very aura tree. Buddha Sakyamuni realized the Tao under the bodhi tree, so the "seven-leaf bodhi" on the side is regarded as a holy tree. It is said that all wishes under the tree can come true, so people who pray for blessings and mobike are in an endless stream. This ancient Miluo tree has also become a legendary tree in the square.

?

Now, it takes about 900 years for this weather-beaten body to stand still, but it has taken away its brilliant elegance. The once "seven-leaf bodhi" became an immortal legend, and the ancient Miluo tree of that year became a fossil tree on the mountain.

? I have to say that the long river of years has given us endless surprises and endless regrets! Every time I see this old tree, I still respect it!

"Bodhi has no trees, and it is not Taiwan in the mirror.

? There is nothing, so there is no dust. "
