Golden Su Zen Forest, distant and fragrant
In this fast-paced world and the drastic social transformation, people are under unprecedented pressure. So when I have free time during the holidays, I invite three or five friends and bring my closest family members to go out for an outing, get close to nature, worship Buddha, burn incense, and cultivate one's moral character. The mountains are everyone's first choice.
Jiangxi has mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. It is a geomantic treasure place where gods and bodhisattvas are happy to stop, and it is also a place where great wise men are happy to practice. Therefore, since ancient times, many treasure temples have been located in the mountains. If you want to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, prolong your life and make money, go to school and have children...or find a great eminent monk, study Buddhism, gain wisdom, and get rid of the worldly world and worldly thoughts, Jinsu Zen Forest is indeed a good place to go.
The Jinsu Zen Forest is located in Shimen Park in Fenyi County, Xinyu City. It is less than two kilometers away from the county seat. The transportation is extremely convenient. From the Qingyi intersection, get off the main road and go to Yuanling Shimen. Go up the slope and turn. After three bends, as soon as we reached the mountainside, we arrived at the Jinsu Temple built on the mountain.
Wanfo Temple is a newly built temple by Jinsu Zen Forest in November 2012. It is backed by the main peak of Shimen Mountain and looks like a treasure embraced by Shimen Mountain. It is majestic and majestic. The entire temple faces east and back to the west, surrounded by Shimen Mountain. In the middle of the main hall, the tall and majestic statue of Sakyamuni Buddha is solemn, with a golden body and wise eyes. The Buddha's light is soft and solemn, the fragrance is filled, and the Zen spirit is deep. Outside the temple, there are green pines and cypresses, bamboo pavilions, and the chirping of insects and birds. Fresh and beautiful. Standing on the platform at the gate of Wanfo Temple and looking at Fenyi County not far away, visitors can feel that they are taking a step back to see the mundane world, and a step further to see the dual scenery of the fairy mountain.
On the lintel of Wanfo Temple, the four characters "De Da Zi Zi" are the calligraphy of Master Chunyi, the previous abbot. The moment he writes the word, it is like a sad worldly person meeting Maitreya Buddha, and all his troubles will be forgotten.
I am a bit stubborn and not very fond of Zen. I have always been biased against Buddhism. I always thought that the Buddhists always chanted "Amitabha" when encountering problems, but never took it out quickly. The solution is to be supported by others while escaping from reality, always thinking that this is somewhat contrary to the grand purpose of helping people and helping the world.
Until one day, by chance, while following the believers in reciting Buddhist sutras, I walked slowly to Master Chunyi’s calligraphy of the word “Futian” and chanted the Buddha’s name around the entrance of the temple. In the long and long praise of "Namo Amitabha", I suddenly realized that the eyes observe the nose, the nose observes the heart, and the heart observes the emptiness of the universe. All worries suddenly disappeared, and I instantly realized the ease of "achieving great freedom" and the world. The worldly thoughts and the heavy burden that had been weighing on me for a long time suddenly disappeared. Only then did I realize how ridiculous I had been before, and that I was a fool with too much prejudice against the wisdom of Buddhism. No wonder so many famous and wise men chose to meditate and practice Buddhism to improve their spiritual practice. For and wisdom.
In addition to various important Buddhist events, on every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, nearby faithful men and women will go up to the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha, pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, release animals and offer lamps... Master Shi Changwu, the abbot of Jinsu Zen Forest , I was not familiar with him before. It wasn’t until that day when I asked him for advice on the problems that the company had encountered in the past three years that I realized that his wisdom was far beyond anyone else’s. I considered myself to be extremely capable. , I can stand alone in various environments and situations, and I can excel. However, in the past three years, due to company affairs, I have been thinking about unsolvable problems day and night. Unexpectedly, the abbot master solved it perfectly in less than half an hour. If you knew before , many people think that I am an elite among hundreds of thousands of people. Are they very surprised by the abbot’s wisdom?
When I calmed down, I was thinking, no wonder the current Daxing Master and Abbot Shi Changwu were able to complete the grand project of the new temple in a very short period of time while retaining the old temple. Master He indeed has a very profound Taoist practice and can apply thorough Buddhist principles to solve practical problems in real society. This is consistent with his consistent argument that after thorough study of Buddhist scriptures, real problems can be solved well...< /p>
Jinsu Zen Temple was built in 1385 during the Ming Dynasty. It has a long history. The founder was a master of Zen gold and stone in the Ming Dynasty. There is a spring on the right side of the main hall of the old temple. It has never dried up in the past thousand years.
The spring water is clear, rich in minerals, and has been boiled for a long time without dirt. Under the tall and green loquat trees, the spring water gushes out from the dragon's mouth. It is refreshing, sweet, and delicious. The county town is nearby. Every day, no matter morning or evening, there are nearby residents. Fetching water to make tea and cook, their happy smiling faces seemed to have infected the bamboo forest, pines near the temple, and the jumping birds above.
On holidays and during leisure time, take three or five family members or friends with you and go to the mountains to be a layman for a few days. You can not only cultivate your mind and wisdom, eliminate fatigue, but also enjoy the environment where gods live. You can kill two birds with one stone. .
When you encounter difficult slopes and sad hurdles at work, and when you feel that you are not wise enough to deal with the world, perhaps a conversation with a great eminent monk can make you realize: "There is no place to be found even if you break through the iron shoes." It takes no effort at all." Fang Shixin said that one conversation with you is worth ten years of reading.
No matter it is rainy or sunny, in the ancient temple in the green mountains, the morning bells and evening drums, the long bells and the long Zen mood are like a soothing and soothing landscape painting.
It’s a beautiful spring day. If you have nothing to do or something to do, my friend, why don’t you come and sit in the mountains?
