Wutai Mountain nun
Mount Wutai is the Manjusri Bodhisattva's temples, each temple dedicated to Manjusri. Chaoshan believers worship, all the top five Taiwan Bai Guo, known as the "big toward Taiwan." Taiwan top the high altitude, the highest of over 3000 meters north Taiwan. Mountain difficult, bad weather cold and changeable, non-time, physical strength and great stamina who can not move five times. Qianlong Emperor simply will not do. Fortunately, always open the door to Chinese Buddhism, especially by taking care of the emperor. Taihuai Town has called Dai Luoding Block hill, on top of a Temple, and the mountain the same name. Qianlong abbot monk to find a way so that he can not stage the top five-worship Monju. The temple, a monk out of an idea: Why not in this temple Inside the plastic together like a five Manjusri, on behalf of Taiwan the top five? All this five-Manjusri Deng Dai Luoding North Korea, can replace 5 units towards the top.
Abbot adopt this brilliant idea, Qianlong realized his wish. The monastery's monks are also dipping Since then, save a lot of time, money and effort. The biggest winner was Dai Luoding itself, so big Sheng incense. However, the monastery, if not step a prayer, it is always a step by step, and want to come Qianlong is no exception, there is no riding or Zuojiao up. During that mountain is not good to go. Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Hong Temple abbot came to France, he realizing the difficult ascent, hair like roads, donated 500,000 yuan. New road completed in 1991 for the stone steps Road, length 508 meters, a total of 1080 steps, all with the Wutai Mountain bluestone paved.
Today, to Wutai Mountain, of course, tourists than pilgrims. Tourist demand for comfort, so in the Dai Luoding installed cable car facilities, effortless ascent. Last fall I went to Wutai Mountain, to say I am ashamed to Deng Dai Luoding is a cable car ride. Down, I do not want to sit with the companion cable car, but changed to go mountain. We walked for nearly three-quarters of the next mountain, they found beneath a slim silhouette in the worship on bended knees. That silhouette knock to be overdone, stand up, we see a young woman, urban girls, the popular "cool" clothing: short hair, black T-shirt, blue jeans, short gray coat off, the sleeves and string together into a knot Circuit in waist.
When we are surprised when she began to kneel down, his hands palms upward, arms affixed to, and then again kowtow. When she stood up the second time, we are close to the distance from her and saw her white face, delicate features, Di Mei Chui eyes, forehead stained with a layer of dust. Her step a prayer, even if can persist in the end, thanks to after this, more than 1000 stairs, but also for several hours. We continue to go down, and she brushed past, surprised into a sigh. When we turned back and saw her back then slowly bent down.
She must have made a big wish. We began to talk, what is sad that she made this big wish. Parents suffering from an incurable disease, she comes求佛bless? There is crosstalk old scripts that snow days are a middle-aged man came to ask Maoxue hexagram, fortune-teller concluded that he was not sick to their parents, but his wife trouble. Old like this, our age seems more difficult to spoil the child a dutiful daughter. We guess, this city is falling out of love girls mostly come to worship the Buddha to allow her lover seeking a change of heart. Or she has been frustrated to the extreme, initiation fled to Buddhism thinking.
At this point, conversation turned to the nuns Wutai Mountain. Nun had heard that the famous Mount Wutai, many youthful, of which there is a Master of Philosophy. In fact, is not necessarily so. The whole mountain is only a Buddhist nunnery, called set Temple, located in Taiwan, the road north edge of the town of Wye. Temple was originally a lama temples, and who have been "Cultural Revolution" looting, everywhere desolation. Later rebuilt, the temple's nuns are all concentrated here, gradually into a Buddhist nunnery, but the pattern has not changed the whole temple. When we went to visit coincides with a truck sent to the winter use of coal, stopped at the edge of one side of the entrance gate. Temple of Nepal mobilized the whole congregation, or carrying baskets, or pick pole, there is no tools to hold with both hands, fighting over who gets to move into the side of coal hospital. This lively scene of labor has been a long absence, the. Our careful observation, nuns were mainly middle-aged, elderly and young people much. Everybody is very common, such as peasant women replaced Sengfu. Remember that it was the Tang Dynasty monk Baizhang set clear rules: no day laborers, a day shall not eat. Relying on this one, set Temple of the nuns were doing well, it is Qi Jing.
Who worship the Dai Luoding city girl, her next stop is the set of the Temple?
